I'm not sure you have used the right adjective, I'm thinking something stronger. -

Agree entirely, I want Loons gone, hope all will follow, hope is all we have. -

For what it's worth, my two penneth: I was at Ewood before the glory days. Jack's success brought a new fan to the club, and they stayed through the good years. Had the Loons not trapped up, they might have stayed and brought their children up to support our great club. Unfortunately, their tenure has decimated the good that had been achieved by Jack and meant our support has returned to its core. Covid has brought a hiatus. We had 8,500-9,000 ST holders before lockdown. I dread to think, with Waggott in charge and his nonsense pricing policy, how many will emerge blinking into the light and commit to doing it again. Talk of 10,000 being allowed back in before the end of this season may prove to be optimistic. I lost faith with the Loons early doors, and the appointment of the slimy twat stopped me going to watch the club I grew up with. I returned under Bowyer, but the lack of any strategy from our "owners", and the total lack of ambition meant I lost interest again. Mowbray is a toad, and his mates fill me with dread. The announcement of the Brockhall plan is yet again a dumbing down of a founder member of the football league. When I have gone to watch a Sky game in the Waggon in Clitheroe, you'll be lucky if there are ten folk watching intently. I have every faith in bussing punter's in, but I just realistically don't see that the take up, under the present regime, would justify it. Fans have lost interest, as I've said repeatedly, there used to be nine of us go from here, three cars, three generations, have a pint at the Observatory, and a good afternoon out. None of us go any more, and I doubt, without an attractive product, any of us would go back again. The Loons have knocked the stuffing out of the club. Something needs to change. Whether it's a change of management/manager, change of owner, or both, there needs to be something to re-attract many who just now don't care. Getting youngsters back is a first step. But, and it's a big but, with so many PL clubs on the doorstep, boys/girls growing up have more attractive options than us. It's heart breaking. I despair at what the Loons have done, wish I knew where all this will end, but don't see a happy ending, and who doesn't like one of those? I
