  1. Nothing personal against Glen. Never met the bloke but do follow him. As I mentioned in my previous post, I respect a lot of the work he has done. However, when he is involved with the fan base and has such a following on Twitter, he ought to publish when he is meeting the CEO, when the fans have been crying out for communication.
  2. Sorry, the 20-24k I was alluding to was home fans only. The 16k I just posted, will take into account away fans. Again, no idea what the average, home fans only, figure would be.
  3. I’ve just posted where I got the figure from. No reason to doubt it. Unless someone else can do the math.
  4. Nice to see Mullan now confirm his meeting with Waggott to the fans. Bizarre it wasn’t at the time. Lost a lot of credibility in my eyes.
  5. I’ve just gone off the stats available online which I saw the other day, which stated this season’s average was 16,354. Our highest since our last season in the PL.
  6. It’s happened in our very own town, the Euro Garages brothers, attempted to buy McColls, Cafe Nero, made their offer on Asda, all went public. However, businesses don’t have pressure from “fans”, our club does. It makes absolute sense to do so.

  8. None. I have no idea why they still own us. However, especially now, surely if someone was serious about buying us, a low ball offer would do the trick. However, there is nothing out there, at the minute. Why isn’t there any public offers, surely with the current fan pressure, you’d go public to say, we’ve made an approach and the fans would then jump on the back of you to try and get them to listen.
  9. Surely the buyer would then make it public? Like the dude we dodged under the Walker Trust, his name alludes me, but BBC did a documentary on him. In addition, there was a chap who was on twitter not long ago, in MLS, trying to buy us but no offer made and we all saw through him, when he doesn’t have a penny to his name.
  10. I do hope that would be the case. I’d love nothing more than a packed Ewood. However, in the PL, we averaged around 20-24k. I simply do not see that happening, especially given the current global issues with rising prices either. That is my honest opinion. Even so, our current average attendance is 16k I believe, adding an additional 8k fans at an average season ticket cost of £300, brings in £2.4m. Let’s say an additional £2.4m on spends at Ewood (just made that figure up), then it’s an additional £5m, at best. Where’s the shortfall of £15m-£20m coming from?
  11. In the interview, not a single offer made. Nobody has shown the cash either. I’ve been in business long enough, if you want to buy someone, it’s possible, so as long as you have the credibility or flash the cash. Quite damning, that in 15 years, this has never been done.
  12. He has now admitted to the meeting. My question still stands, as to why it was kept a secret, when we the fans have been crying out engagement. I am not pro-regime nor anti-regime. I am a fan of the club and have been all my life. I hate seeing Ewood the way it was last night. It wasn’t nice for me and my family attending, it can’t have been nice for the players or anyone involved. I want the best for us, be that with Venky’s or Joe Bloggs, I really do not care. Football is an escape for many of us and at the moment, it is nothing but a chore. What irks me is, this hostile atmosphere created, mainly due to lack of communication, yet certain individuals have the ear of the execs, but choose to keep it private, when it suits. I have read Glen’s tweets for a number of years and respect a lot of the work he has done. However, when we find out of these private meetings, it will antagonise any fan, especially, when we have all been wanting that very voice to communicate with us.
  13. With a much bigger fanbase than ours and much lower wage bill. By getting new owners, we will not see more than 20k at Ewood. What we will see is a lower wage bill, therefore the quality of players we can attract, will be significantly poorer. Not a chance we get the likes of Cantwell and Beck.
