You’re deluded beyond belief pal He changed a lot from the very first game against Norwich. The players were confused and positionally we were all over the place. The guy needs time admittedly, anyone would struggle with the chaos above him. Similar to Eustace last season who was awful at first. He’s obviously been asked to play a certain way by Rudy and hasn’t got the players to do it currently. Also creating chances means very little when you’re giving the opposition a 2 goal start on a regular basis.

This explains everything. He’s a Dingle who has plotted the entire thing! 😆

Adam Catterall’s (TalkSport Presenter and Rovers Fan) Father-In-Law said he did just that at the Boro game, on a call to the radio station. Not exactly good publicity! Lowering ticket prices has to come with a positive family matchday experience. It simply doesn’t at the minute and all at the club are not aligned on it - an example from the Wolves FA Cup game with a steward “stealing” Cunha’s shirt thrown into the JW Lower Tier to a group of kids including my nephews and taking it down the tunnel! Why would anyone want to bring their kids in the current climate, even for a quid against Millwall on Good Friday? I honestly don’t want to bring them and my own kids back to Ewood again until Venky’s and all associated with them leave our club.

Good result in the end. It’s becoming increasingly difficult for the players & manager to meet the level required with the chaos going on above them. That and giving away 2 goal leads in the first half also doesn’t help!

Exactly - the equivalent in the Blackburn End costs £438 at current prices. To be fair, the Riverside is cheaper but still £338 so more expensive for a very poor stand. It seems the only strategy at Rovers is not to attract new fans but to fleece the ones remaining. I’ve already stopped taking my kids to games due to a poor matchday experience and rising prices. “Not a penny more” increasingly seems like the best option 🥀 🐔

Bolton have sold 14,000 Season Tickets in their Early Bird Phase. Let that sink in. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/25027682.bolton-wanderers-reach-2025-26-season-ticket-milestone/ A family friendly club with a positive atmosphere in League One. An Adult + 1 Child ticket is £309 behind the goal. I live 5 miles from Middlebrook and there’s always so many kids wearing Bolton kits in the local area. They’re that keen to get to games that my sons Under 10’s Team cancel games when Bolton are playing. They’re obviously doing something right. Suhail should hang his head in shame and resign.

Great work with the banners tonight 👏 Things are building nicely

It’s a place for fans to come together and express theirselves. Nothing more, nothing less. Speaking of expression - I saw the below post on a Sheff Weds forum, it could easily be adapted for Venkys 🥀 🐔

This is a time and place for anyone wishing to peacefully “express yourself” regarding the current situation at our club 🌹 These will continue at every home game from now until the end of the season. The location will be shared here approximately 4 hours before kick off each time and across other forms of social media.

Our Gary is part of the problem not the solution. He makes a lot of money from a game awash with cash. Am sure his various Manchester businesses profited massively from the derby yesterday!

You wouldn’t get anywhere near my workplace mate. I would take it, laugh at you and then report any concerns about the idiot having a pop at me to a more senior manager! You can understand it a little bit from a player if there’s abuse, for example Kieron Trippier having a chat with the Newcastle fans at Bournemouth last season. Goading your away fans from afar with your hands cupped behind your ears is a different matter!

Are you seriously advocating a manager goading his own fans? I expect a manager to behave professionally in the public eye. He’s been shown to be anything but this quite a number of times at Spurs. Not only that, he gaslighted the media & the fans by then blaming the whole thing on VAR! At least to his credit Big Val took the criticism on the chin during his interview with Sky after Fridays defeat.

Yesterdays game at Old Trafford demonstrated everything that is wrong with modern football. 2 clubs who have spent BILLIONS of pounds to produce one of the worst spectacles of football we’ve seen for a while. Managers so scared of losing that their players have forgotten it’s a game to win. Gary Neville bleating in the Sky Studio about it despite being in direct benefit of the cash rich Premier League with his punditry jobs and Manchester businesses that no doubt made a fortune over the weekend. It is no wonder fans are protesting everywhere. The game is no longer for us it’s about global business interests. We just happen to be owned by a business appears to like losing lots of money and blaming us for it!

They’re 14th in the league. Not acceptable for the money the fans are paying and the revenue generated compared to other smaller PL clubs. Off the pitch facilities mean nothing if the quality on it doesn’t match. As for Postecoglou, is that the same guy who goaded his own fans and attempted to blame it on VAR? The guy’s a drongo mate.

It’s understandable when they’re spending that kind of cash but still below relative local minnows Brentford, Fulham and Palace in the table. Speaking of Palace, in January 2024 the fans protested during a 5-0 loss at Arsenal. Since then they’ve gone from strength to strength proving than fan pressure does work. Either that or because they signed the football god that is Adam Wharton from us 😞

How awful for Spurs fans spending £149m on players this season 😁 I do take their point though - another club being run poorly and short changing the fans year after year. It’s just at a gargantuan level compared to clubs like Rovers in the Championship and below.

Stop giving this “alleged” plant oxygen

Get behind the lads. Support the movement to get Venky’s Out of our club. Both are possible and in all of our interests. It happened v Plymouth. Simple. COYB 🌹

Can we please return this thread to its original aim:- “to discuss protest ideas so those in support can start taking positive action against the current state of the club and owners Venky’s & CEO Steve Waggott. Their short sighted and non-sensical business decisions are slowly killing BRFC from the inside out and it cannot be allowed to go on.” I wrote this on 23rd January 2024, before JDT left, before Adam Wharton was sold. We’re now on our 2nd manager since then and not much has changed, in fact it has and is likely to get a lot worse. In fighting about who met who and when, what’s in the club accounts, how much we’ve made from player trading, attendance decline etc is largely irrelevant. Let’s get back to the original aim of the thread, to get Venky’s out of OUR club. “The ultimate aim is for Venky’s to sell the club to new owners who are present, communicate with the fans and have the best interests of the club & fans at heart AND the community it is part of.”

1. What's the desired end game. The ultimate aim is for Venky’s to sell the club to new owners who are present, communicate with the fans and have the best interests of the club & fans at heart AND the community it is part of. 2. What's the compromise position. Steve Waggott, Suhail Pasha & Rudy Gestede to resign or be replaced by competent individuals. The ultimate aim needs to be as per point 1. 3. What's your general thoughts on our approach to date. Great so far, it’s clear there is a plan. I’d like there to be a focus on a genuine protest either before or during a match however I understand we are not at that stage as yet and I’m willing to trust a process that is working well so far. An idea I’ve had is for a collection of fan “stories” to be filmed and released. For example my own story would be of a 40 year old man with 2 children, a season ticket holder since the age of 7, “passed the baton” by my Dad who watched Rovers since the 1970’s but is now so disillusioned with the club he no longer attends games. As a father I’d like to take my children to more games but as fan numbers & the atmosphere decreases and the threat of protest increases, Ewood is no longer somewhere I feel comfortable taking them. And also they don’t want to as the match day experience and football on the pitch is rarely that good! 4. What's your thoughts on the Exec interviews yesterday? An embarrassment to the club we all love. Steve Waggott does not appear to be competent as his job as CEO, it is unclear what Suhail Pasha’s role actually is and Rudy Gestede appeared more calm & confident however also appears to be hugely naïve and not experienced enough to carry out his role at this level. 5. Do you want to get more involved? I would be happy to be interviewed for the above fan stories idea and interested in attending any planned protests and already have a 6ft printed banner for this purpose that I had done before the Wrexham FA Cup game in January 2024 just before JDT walked and Adam Wharton was sold. You could see this coming a mile off then! How can you help? See above. I am unable to commit more time currently due to childcare, work and the inability to attend every game. I am going to the Watford Home match.

We’ve had the same as tonight and more vs Plymouth in the stadium. It’s been a good start and I agree, a hugely impactful week but the pressure needs to be maintained and more. Hopefully Glen and co have more up their sleeve. Happy to help in any way I can, and I’ve already got a banner that’s better than a bedsheet!

Can we please stop the ruse now that we have any chance of making the play-offs? Anyone who’s watched the team since January knows its been over for a while. Let’s keep the pressure on, the only way forward is for the owners to sell the club. Every fan remaining with any fight left in them needs to get behind this cause. There will be no club left otherwise. Sorry to say but #ExpressYourself isn’t enough. I couldn’t make it tonight but only a few chants and banners heard on TV is not enough. Even after everything that’s happened, 6 losses out of 7, the worst form in the Championship in the last 20 games. If that’s all we can muster it’s pathetic.

It’s bullshit anyway. The Plymouth game proved you can simultaneously protest against the terrible board & ownership and get behind the lads, we won comfortably 2-0 and there was a huge feel good factor around the stadium. It improves the atmosphere if anything, the players know the fans are fully behind them.

Great effort on SSN @glen9mullan. To be getting this kind of air time is only positive for the fans! Some great points made, you could see the presenters trying to get a word in but couldn’t 😆 The point about Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford is an excellent response to the question about investment and funding. Well run clubs with a clear model & plan in the top half of the Premier League despite relatively low attendances compared to the big boys. This is what is possible with engaged and competent leadership. The excuses of Waggott & Suhail simply don’t cut it anymore #EnoughIsEnough
