Hi everyone, I'm a new member - longtime reader going back years and years - my dad used to contribute here very occasionally and we'd often talk about what we'd been reading on the forum. I was a season ticket holder in the Blackburn end up until around 2005, my old man grew up in a house next to Ewood and his dad was at the 1960 FA Cup final so I've a fair bit of a family connection to the club/area. I grew up in the North East outside of Newcastle and we always made the trip down for home games. Obviously the last few weeks have been more emotionally charged than usual with Eustace leaving and the club reverting to a state of managed chaos with the appointment of VI and the results that have followed. I've been angry and I've followed the anger. I've also become somewhat apathetic again and followed the apathy and fully understand the stance many are taking on season tickets and purchases around the club. I've long thought of how we might rid the club of Venkys without any real epiphany occurring and from reading many viewpoints it appears there only two viable routes. 1. A total collapse of revenue (which seems unlikely) 2. Intense media scrutiny via the shining of an intensely sustained spotlight on the club. I'm not sure how viable the second option is either to be honest - we've never particularly been media darlings - but I sat at home this afternoon with my two young daughters who were born just outside of Newcastle and felt an intense (in the football fan) sense of shame that they'd be better off just being Newcastle fans than following their dad's lifelong club. I remember being in Cardiff as a teenager with my dad watching Rovers beating Spurs in the league Cup final and it's not only one of the best footballing memories I have - it's one of the best memories I have of being with my dad who has long since departed to a Venky free existence. Don't get me wrong - football certainly isn't the be all and end all - but for those of us that invest so much energy into following it alongside real life, this 15 year nightmare has been a real wrench in something we all love and it just feels such a shame to be in a position where I don't want to pass on a family heirloom of sorts - a genuine love and affection for BRFC. So in the spirit of Newcastle's well earned win and in light of the nightmare position we find ourselves in yet again as the club begins a further unravelling back into league one next season I ask - what do we do now? Have there been any serious targeted attempts at shining a spotlight on Venkys / Waggot / Pasha / Gestede in recent years? If not, is now perhaps the time? Does anyone have an urge to explore this as a possibility? Does anyone have any potted histories of any previous attempts at documenting our plight? Look forward to hearing from everyone and posting around here a bit more regularly!
