Good Morning All, Certainly been an exhausting couple of weeks on the back of 15 exhausting years. What we do next is very much shaped by you, the club's supporter base. 1. What's the desired end game. 2. What's the compromise position. 3. What's your general thoughts on our approach to date. 4. What's your thoughts on the Exec interviews yesterday. 5. Do you want to get more involved. Keeping traction can become difficult if we take foot off gas but at the same time being measured and precise prevents own goals. It's certainly not easy in a large working group, lots of opinions and conversations sometimes wander off which loses focus and days pass by. How can you help? Share the messages, share the tweets. We need to be better at communicating than the club , always one step ahead and always firmly risk accessed to create the desired outcome. My inbox always open, always willing to meet up for a chat too or take a phone call. It's really you, that will shape our direction

This is a victory to what we can achieve in unity, by becoming one voice. The club have had it too easy for too long , Biscuits and balloons don't work with me and others involved. We've worked tirelessly for two weeks, long days and nights, to consruct a campaign to give our valuable supporter base a voice. From a personal point of view, I pledged when forming the BRFC Action Group, that we'd be a democratic inclusive group accountable to our membership base. We'd express their views to the best of our ability and seek no perks or privilege beyond the every day equal supporter. It's a ripple in a pond and we must strive forwards for a better future for our club #rtid #expressyourself #enoughisenough

Don't be so sure 😉

A lot of interviews today, Gestede with LET looks like first one out, Fully expect the rest to filter out after that, We've dragged them out, Supporters 4 v 1 regime

Yeh, OG really talking to them. Especially about Friday as it's old news, some clearly called in a favour. Very different in a group of groups and individuals, slightly less control on media appearances. It's important we have many voices. People sick of my mug, but we need to coach better and be selective. We was always on a hiding for nothing from SJ. And Rob did really well to keep his cool. Think we are 3-1 up , but providing we score more than them we will progress. I'd hoped WATR would of reached out to join forces as have the other groups like Pride Rovers etc. I don't buy this concept that BRFC Action Group or any other group is a protest group. It's rather disrespectful to aim as such from some. Below a brief on some AG works. We are currently developing our new website, our old one has sadly ceased for reasons out of our control. Below is a brief history. The BRFC Action Group is a supporters' organisation dedicated to advocating for Blackburn Rovers Football Club. in response to concerns over the club's management and ownership, the group has played a significant role in voicing fans' opinions and striving for positive change. Formation and Early Activities The group's formed in 2012 with a members democratically elected committee during a period of discontent among fans regarding the club's performance and leadership. Initially, their efforts focused on addressing managerial issues, notably campaigning for the removal of then-manager Steve Kean, whose tenure was marked by poor results. This campaign included organising protests and engaging with media outlets to express their dissatisfaction. Over time, the BRFC Action Group expanded its focus beyond managerial concerns to address broader issues related to the club's ownership and strategic direction. Their advocacy efforts aimed to ensure that future generations could enjoy Blackburn Rovers as fans had in the past, emphasising the club's rich history and community significance. Collaboration with Other Supporters' Organisations In their pursuit of meaningful change, the BRFC Action Group collaborated with other supporters' organisations, notably the Rovers Trust. This collaboration led to the launch of the "We Are Rovers" campaign, which was formed after both groups balloted their members on a course of action. The campaign sought to address concerns over the club's ownership and to promote a more fan-centric approach to the club's future. Engagement with Authorities The group's activities gained significant attention, leading to engagements with both governmental bodies and footballing authorities. They were granted meetings with the Government, The Premier League , EFL and FA to air their grievances and discuss potential solutions. Supported by former MPs Jack Straw, Jake Berry and Graham Jones. These discussions underscored the group's commitment to advocating for the club and highlighted the broader concerns of the fanbase. Impact on Club Ownership The persistent efforts of the BRFC Action Group, alongside other supporters' organisations, contributed to increased scrutiny of the club's ownership. Their campaigns and advocacy played a role in bringing about changes in the club's management structure, aiming to align the club's operations with the interests and values of its supporters. Other works The BRFC has played an integral part as a charity raising thousands of pounds for local initiatives, whilst also organising the legends match which brought back many members of the 1995 Blackburn Rovers champions team, amongst others notably Tugay to play at Ewood Park, against supporters to raise money for the Former players association to aid their development as an entity. The group is members of the FSF and ESF and in 2014 opened the first supporter walk in centre in Europe based at Ewood Park, funded by the group. This became a hub for both footballing and non footballling matters, notably domestic violence, hardship, homelessness and food banks. The group utilised their local connections with businesses and local authorities to fast track and support local residents in need Continued Advocacy As of March 2025, the BRFC Action Group continues to be an active voice for Blackburn Rovers fans, proudly standing as the largest independent supporter group with a near 8000 members globally. Their ongoing efforts focus on ensuring that the club remains accountable to its supporters and that its rich legacy is preserved for future generations. Through continued engagement and advocacy, the group strives to influence positive developments within the club and maintain a strong connection between the team and its community. The history of the BRFC Action Group is a testament to the power of organised supporters in effecting change within football clubs. Their journey reflects a deep commitment to preserving the heritage and integrity of Blackburn Rovers, ensuring that the club remains a source of pride and joy for its fans. The group is supported by its honory patrons Sir Bill Taylor. Maureen Bateson. MBE and Wayne Hemingway for their previous works as a democratic supporter group which is free and inclusive.

There is a twitter (x) space being done tonight in response to PR we are expecting out club tonight and an opportunity for any supporter to speak and engage with people in coalition. Being held by @kidderstnoise 19.30 On X

On time too 🙂 😀 always weigh up the opponent, the consequences of said actions and have your Map far more advanced of theirs. Their predictability is their weakness, it was last time supporters took a stand It will end the same way , All 3 gone , whilst we remain.

Pre arranged imo

PR machine in full flow , JW and SJ on talksport talking to Kiddersteet noise. Proper hatchet job including them receiving a text on air stating how good Gestede is. Very similar to the Jerome Anderson SSN appearance. Feit Rob stayed calm, but they certainly went for jugglar

BBC I believe

It's took direct action to drag them out bud,

Will take on board At the moment it's about getting a voice of 5 to become a voice of 100, to become 1000, to become 10000 and so on. Each person unique and one person's gripe is not always another's and vice versa. Trying to get 100% acceptance is impossible. As a cross section of people, it's got one spectrum to the next, from all out gorilla warfare to protecting those against action. Being democratic is very hard to strike middle ground. We've a phased plan. Mission 1 complete, 1. shadow man doing radio interviews tomorrow. Last week that looked impossible. 2. Club have had to respond hastily to supporter statement, a first under venkys. 3. National media spotlight back on them. 4. Extremely minimal opposition in supporter base. We are now in phase 2

Media interviews with the shadow,

Rovers media will be in fullllllllll swing tomorrow. Intel suggesting Rita, Bob and SUE too, yep you read that right SUE too will be talking to Media on charm offensive . Meanwhile at the coalition HQ, that 5 minure warning coming soon. #express yourself

You know me too well 😉
