Yes saw all those personal comments!! " If you cannot stand the heat stay out of the kitchen" Suppose I will have to stay calm or find a guy called Stuart Beardsworth in Rawtenstall who knows exactly what we Valley Blues did(with other Supporters Groups) to keep the Rovers afloat in the 1970s. RTID

Main thing is to keep the fans together....we are really one family and many of us have been on a very long journey. It is my observation that the NAPM supporters are hurting even more than us. Lennie and ABBEY just to mention 2 characters. Think its still wise to pay for the new Season Tickets via credit card!!

If we escape on Sunday and Brum or Forest go down, for a while there will be an optimistic feel and the effect on the town and the staff of the Club will not be as catastrophic. So it won't be as immediate and newsworthy.

In this Social Media age, I thought my first missive as Trust Chair was okay. I actually concentrated on the right tone rather than what I vaguely remember from Form 4C at QEGS and Dishington's grammar lessons. So I had it checked 3 times ,changed it and then sent it out without a moment's hesitation. Thank Goodness I have Mike E now available for future messages. Meanwhile, watch Football Focus on BBC at 12 noon on Saturday and buy Monday's LT if we lose. Big Features. Now packing for Brentford...Kew Bridge Tavern on Saturday night if anyone is down in West London!

Last proto-Trust Board Meeting is tonight and new Board goes live from Monday May 1st. So clearly more news next week on our planning and actions. Do I have to create a relegation reaction as well? Probably(not possibly).

We can't protest there now.....shucks!

Comparison this week: Burnley,Padiham,Nelson and Colne edition of LT.....not a single item on the Rovers, only Bumley Blackburn, Darwen,Hyndburn and Ribble Valley edition.... 3 pages Rovers, 1 page Bumley,1 page Stanley One of pages was slimey Senior staring out and one page of mainly propaganda on Marshall money. Time to picket LT on Railway Road and hand in a petition to the Editor.

Time for a picket outside the LT. Would that get in the local paper?

Rigger,please support us, Stuart's question was different than whether you went inside the ground. Thanks.

Coyley has done well with an assortment of loanees,freebies and injury-prones. Those 3 categories are the reason for the late goals conceded. As you say, Coyley took the gig....but for this League we are not competitive(end of). The Owners have sabotaged us for a 2nd time. That's why the football is secondary at the moment.

Hakan Sukur is very very famous in Turkey. He was encouraged by the (now) President to become one of his MPs. Shortly after there was a corruption 'episode' connected to Erdogan and his family(Contracts,public funds etc) This is when Erdogan and Gulen fell out and Gulen finished up leaving to go to Pennsylvania. Stick with it. Sukur was one of the first people to come unstuck by a new rule that it is illegal to talk ill of the PM (now President) He was removed as an MP and charged. Think he left before a trial that was sure to be rigged. The attempted coup on July 15th has been a great excuse for Erdogan to instigate a 'Stalin-like' purge of all people who oppose him or might oppose him. Every Public Body has lost at least 20% of all staff(guilty or not). Even the Turkish FA have lost 50 officials and referees(Erdogan is Fenerbahce supporter!!) I am working in Eastern Turkey and the atmosphere is so surreal that I will be resigning soon....the only consolation is that I can become an angry Anti-Venkys season-ticket holder. Hope the read was worth it! And Hakan is safe in USA.

Apart from Colin Hendry no one played well at Palace. Where we were corralled did not help....plus GLAD ALL OVER! (sheer pain)

Very very late Mercerman. No-one asked about the goalie. My memory was he was the most nervous goalie I have ever seen....kicking posts,spitting,walking about. Think we sang "Careless Hands" to him. Memories...

Its John Connolly if I am not going brain dead. Hell the thermometer and the buckets on the Riverside. My group paid for the Rebuild(with Uncle Jack) and nabbed the best seats. The Riverside is the 'heart' of Ewood, it just does not beat very much these days. Close there and we would chain ourselves in.

What's the definition of 'nailed on'? Probables rather than possibles!!

Koyley the new Iley? That was even lower than now.....1973? No April 1978 to end October 1978. Played 16: won 2;drawn 6;lost 8 Didn't he do well?

The Riverside must be the most populated Stand for the last 5 years. Surely some 20% of the upper seats will find their view blocked when looking towards the goals in each half? Could be a riot on Saturday...flat caps and flasks.

Whilst Kean became the target because of the inevitability of relegation. Now Koyle is the stooge,the Owners are the real Target. VENKYSOUT

Koyle or Ke-oyle is the right name for him. Its like the return of Satan.

Couldn't watch it. If it looks like @#/?,smells like @#/? then it probably is... Until Venkys leave we just have to keep the faith. Uncle Jack would be crying his eyes out. Desperate days.

Yes it has to be VEXIT rather than REXIT. Its how we keep the 'core' fans whilst VEXIT is taking so long. I am desperate and 3000kms away til August.

Aaahhh 'when you are without Love' Well it was the Walker Brothers,related to Walker Trust ? I will get my coat(and Season Ticket)

If they appoint Coyle 'the Sun aint gonna shine anymore' believe me.

Oh I have seen Gareth in action and he is just what we need.....apart from the fact that he is on a 'loser' with these Owners. So what's the point. But please stop slagging off one of our own(again)

As only a Blackburn Rovers Supporter I am happy that an East Lancs version of the "Blackpool - Fleetwood" scenario has been avoided.
