I am still outraged at SS and co and I fully support and condone everything that the Coalition have done and continue to do. On a personal note, I still haven't decided on a renewal - 55yrs and counting and in what was supposed to be a defining year 150 we have the current shit show of not a thing happening within the club on a positive aspect!

iv`e had 3 emails in 3 days urging me to renew my season ticket,desperation going on i think😵

Me too, panic stations.

It will be interesting to see how hard they are pushing tomorrow. In theory the last major chance they have to capture attending fans for renewals.

If sales really are as bad as we think, surely they aren’t actually going to bang then up in price in a week?

So, what, charging £450 for a Blackburn End ST or £550 for JWU for next season before this season has even finished?

Completely lost it down there

Oh it's ok Gestede has been telling everyone - courtesy of Suhail - that ST's have been pegged back to pre covid prices and the owners are still putting money.

He's either an idiot or he's gaslighting on purpose.

@K-Hod please can you tell us the number of STs sold from the FF.

The club is clearly deliberately not publishing the minutes.

No point respecting their pathetic petty rules when they do not respect you, I or any other Rovers fan.

I expect them to be out early next week.

I fully expect them to comment in the FF minutes that sales have been “healthy and in-line with previous years sales at this stage” given the fact none of them could lay straight in bed I’m not expecting their come out and say “well we’ve properly fucked it lads, only sold 1200 and it’s looking bleak”

A lot of people will have been paid this week or early next, probably waiting to see is there's a spike to add those to the figures......unfortunately for them, they'll end up bitterly disappointed as its not going to add thousands on!

The minutes of the meeting held almost 2 weeks ago cannot be amended to update the figure to post pay day.

The minutes are the minutes.

Whatever number was reported in public will need to be published in public.

Their only option is to edit out.

That would not only be a disrespect to all Rovers fans, for which the meeting is supposed to satisfy their EFL obligation to fan engagement, but also a personal Fuck You to the FF members.

I would hope O2G has been on the phone and told them to sort it out.

I expect the number to be published on here on Tuesday evening if the minutes have not been published.

I expect the number to be published on here immediatley in the event that edited minutes are published.

It's costing them less over the last few years and maybe nothing in coming years yet their logo is still flashed across tv screens twice a week.

They still get an incredible amount of exposure even from Championship Rovers so that counts for something and they still own a historic piece of English sporting heritage.

I'm sure if one or more wanted to move here - maybe they already have lower down the family rankings - then it might help.

To them it's just like owning an old vintage classic you only get out and drive once in a while, rest of the time it's just parked in the company accounts garage but you can still show it off to your mates.

The old saying, any publicity is good publicity and the Venkys get plenty of it for being the owners successfully dismantling and killing one of the world’s oldest and most famous football clubs.

I’m at 43 years and had decided that my only protest left was to not renew. If there was a really concerted and public effort that felt like we were making progress and called on all supporters to boycott ST’s, I will happily comply but without it, my resolve is waning 🙈

A major price initiative for today’s match, like PNE at £5 adult and £1 for others, would have brought out more support for the team and a chance for the desperate stooges to increase sales. However, just too much like hard work, who the hell wants the hassle of a full stadium and passionate support 😡

Perhaps even report that they are well ahead of the corresponding period for the last 5 years. Given that they have never been on sale at this stage before, they wouldn’t be lying !

Thing is when games are shown around the world their logo is flashed around and no doubt the odd comment dropped in about very wealthy family invested 300 million etc.

I doubt much foreign and edited highlights around the world touch much on fan sentiment and the language barrier will cover over anything emitting from the stands. Ok it isn't the Prem but the Championship is a well known and growing brand and if advertising wasn't still part of their ideology in owning the club the logo wouldn't be splashed everywhere.

They personally keep an invisible profile but their Venky brand doesn't, it's everywhere and how else would you flash it across the world.

The fact it always takes 2 weeks or so is already a big fuck you to be quite honest, there's no way on this planet people are too busy to edit them before then it's a joke.

That being said they're usually pointless anyway. Whether that's because their 'editing' involves removing anything interesting, or that might reflect negatively on them is anyones guess.
