The fact a member of the FF has liked my post says it isn’t just my impression and it really is as half arsed as the minutes make out.

Did the FF question pasha when he basically said they ones in pune dont deem us as important? so how vigorously ? if not why not?

That same like is from the one person who seems to have asked the only question to try and challenge the rubbish that the clubs representatives come out with. The answer was as you would expect a load of shit but the question is appreciated nonetheless.

That comment from Pasha is terrible. At least we have in black and white from a direct representative that the owners literally do not give a shit about us. They never have.

[ABBEY]

exactly

I can feel my blood boil when I read that sob story about season tickets sales. How thick can they be to be suprised that season tickets were so low when we...

• Sold our best player for £20m and spent nothing in January.
• Failed to properly register our only money signing in January.
• Loaned out our club captain likely as much to do with money than sense.
• Won 6 games at home all season.
• Managed just 1 home win since October.
• Had a new manager that still had not managed to win a home game.
• Almost got relegated.
• Planned to sell our next best player in summer.
• Under a financial cloud due to the indian court case meaning we might not be able to sign any players or even worse sell large parts of the squad.
• Sacked the entire recruitment and scouting department at the end of the season.
• At the time of putting tickets on sale had made no signings.
• Put the ticket price up mid-summer when we still hadnt made any signings.
• Put out complete radio silence for most of summer so nobody had the first clue what was going on during the early bird price window.

They must be absolute complete and utter morons to think it would be anything other than a total washout.

If the chuckle brothers or an alien landed from mars did all the above even they wouldnt be suprised that people didnt fancy it.

They aren’t but they think we are.

I’ve just had a look on the online store and, even though I’m logged into my account and I am a ST holder, I can’t see an option to apply a discount - do you know where I can find it, or is there a code to enter or something?
(I was thinking of treating myself to one of the retro training tops)

I can’t see it either, does anyone know how to access this?

The minutes mention a discount in the club shop for ST holders. As a ST holder this has passed me by somehow - does anyone know what discount we get and how to access it?

I emailed the club and the code was sent in the welcome email when you renewed your season ticket. I had lost mine so they re-sent it today after I got in touch.

Someone really needs to bring up this ridiculous process with away tickets at the next meeting.

All the tickets are there on the counter, I can collect them from Ewood, but i can't nip in and actually physically buy them.

Makes no sense at all.

Under Venkys when has making sense, been a priority ?

[tomphil]

Nudge nudge to digi tickets only that's all it is.

 

[Mattyblue]

‘Our stats told us that even before this season only two customers a month used the shop to buy tickets…’

Just got around to reading the minutes to the last meeting.

It’s incredible how often the club answers a different question to the one which was asked.

Do you go and speak with We Are The Rovers chairman Mike Graham pre game who was outside the Blackburn End? 

[ABBEY]

didn't know they was there until later

[RevidgeBlue]

I absolutely despair every time I read the FF minutes.

Nothing is ever their fault, there's a smart arse answer for everything even when they are clearly in the wrong and by and large the Forum seem to sit there nodding along in agreement legitimising it all.

Credit to K Hod for asking the pertinent question about lack of transfer investment. What a disgrace of an answer from our so called CEO.

Also have we not confirmed that this so called requirement to lodge an equivalent monetary bond is a complete fallacy and they only have to provide personal guarantees (which they won't do)?

Every time you read the minutes it feels like there are one or two individuals at the Club such as JDT and Eustace  (and since Broughton left seemingly the Recruitment team) trying to make us successful and the "Commercial" side and Waggott trying to run us into the ground.

And the Forum just sit there and go along with it for the most part.

 

[Moptop1]

So, nothing changes and they “still” continue to take the piss out of us and the club in genera?

We deserve what we get, especially if fan groups who have the power, do naff all to fight our corner.

 

[ABBEY]

will the FF as a group condemn what pasha said that the rats in pune don't give a shit about us( words to that effect)

It’s fine in the JW so they won’t give a shit about you.

Obviously Ewood is full of people that do a half arsed job, that have little passion for BRFC, but, you know, 10 minutes on Wiki would have sufficed.

More errors than he’s even noticed, I.e. we won at Chelsea away, Palace win absolutely pivotal too in the run in, winner scored by that fella that’s in the stands most weeks too!

Such a pathetic commercial operation.

Happens at the biggest clubs too. Last season's authentic Arsenal shirt had a tape on the inside with the results of their invincibles season. Keep in mind it cost well over £100 and didn't feature on the replica shirt version - it didnt have all 38 results, was missing about 6 from what I remember
