Does this have an impact?

[...]

With our numbers noticeably declining for the first team does this then have a knock on effect down the ranks in terms of women's team attendances, U21s etc? I mean I only attend first team mens games but would the effects of the ownership filter down the line? Just wondered if anyone had noticed this

Not in my experience. The numbers involved are so much lower, any fan likely to give up on the main team would not be the sort to attend these games in the first place (generally speaking). Lots of those who attend youth games are actually family members of the players or other age groups and their families too along with scouts etc so would not be boycotting (for want of a better word).

That makes sense I guess I just thought there could be implications on a wider scale to the club and its spectators as a whole if you get me

I’d wager that very few of the first team supporters would give the women’s or youth teams a glance nor call themselves supports. Excluding 21’s/18’s in this statement

I think it would have an impact on Blackburn Rovers as a brand.

In no way meant to be exist but the mens team is the pull for folk perhaps if they were doing better or we had numbers down it would benefit our other teams. Did anyone here go to the women's etc pre venkys? Is there a difference? I remember going to watch plenty of Rovers Reserves games lol
