Come on now, he’s even been translating Hungarian, tough language that.

We have a very odd fanbase when it comes to belittling the status of Blackburn Rovers. I think it’s largely through circumstance, i.e a lot of the fans that were around in the 70s/80s see us as small time as the club was often hand to mouth, of course, those that only remember Venky’s and their downsizing also see us as small time. Ergo it’s Jack’s/the Walkers club that is the aberration, not that Jack built a club to be bigger than the 70s/80s, just like football now is across the country. Nobody else harks back to ‘well, we had crap gates in the 80s too, that’s our level’… so did fecking everybody! The game was on it’s arse.

Why shouldn’t fans of a club that has spent most of the last decade *one* division below the Premier League have at least an ambition to have a go at getting into it? That’s kind of the point of professional football, no?

Remember when we were on tenterhooks on this thread. Quite apt really that this process is a total farce.

‘Look at the size of Lincolnshire, we just aren’t attractive’.

Drog’s had some journey. Vehemently anti-Venky when he was on here. Anybody remember his mantra for them? ‘Eeees better, eeeees cheaper’’… now he’s cheerleader-in-chief.

Thats social media for you. But the general sentiment is standard Ewood discourse.

I’m surprised people are surprised, like I said above, that is the standard stuff you hear at Ewood over and over, even fifteen years later.

What I would say is the sentiments of that thread, even now, I hear in the ground on a regular basis.

It’s about a dozen ex-BRFCS on a loop. (Sure they’ll have a go at me now though I don’t ever recall falling out with any of them, well maybe, the Chadster).

He’s posting on there as of yesterday, last page of the thread Mark’s linked. Has he been banned? Normally he gets huffy if asked where he’s been ‘I’ve been on night shift!’

Lost the plot that place, used to be a hornet’s nest of anti-Venkyism. In reality, just contrarians. As an aside, stand to be corrected, but I thought Barmitzvah Blue was Mike Graham, has he flip-flopped again? (Oh and that’s where the Chadster’s gone 😁. I was wondering why threads were no longer going down rabbit holes).

‘Very, very limited numbers available’ remember… so they’ve sold about 3. Good job they delayed it to flog a dozen or so more of the gold one.

‘FT🚜 4 - 🌹 0. But a great effort for a team with an average age of 14 👏 ‘

Nobody pays attention to the announced crowd these days. Leicester, West Ham have both had very empty grounds in recent weeks with ‘27,000’, ‘58,000’ announced or whatever.
