Happy birthday! I turned 40 last week. Depressing that all of my 30s, and your 40s, were swallowed up by the Rao scum.

He was very, very generous with the HobNobs and custard creams, though, lest we forget...

Wow! Thanks for letting me know. I'm sure he'll remember me. Mike, if you're reading, get that banner out and make good use of it!!

I'd like to applaud your superb efforts, sir. Fantastic to see people willing to stand up and do something! I'm in Ireland so a bit limited in terms of getting to as many games as I'd like, but I like to think I did what I could back when the writing was on the wall in 2011/12. I vividly remember getting 500 KEAN OUT A4 pages printed in Reads Stationary Shop in Dublin the day before the Arsenal game where we won 4-2, getting looked at like I had two heads by the guy who was printing them out for me. RAOS OUT and ANDERSON OUT posters made and a DESAI OUT banner printed for the Wigan relegation night, which I gave to PrestonBlue (anyone know where he is these days?) outside the ground. Crazy to think that here we all are 12 years later, but it does feel like we could be on the precipice of liberation here.... Keep going! Sock it to the bastards!

Venky's have caused me much more harm, from what I can tell, than years of smoking.

Less than 24 hours until the game now and we're still none the wiser thanks to these utter bumbling, incompetent, lying set of scumbag chancers.

I thought it was just me! A right pompous ass, extremely sanctimonious. And then there's that fool John Claret or one of his million aliases...

I'm curious as to where exactly the tide is turning? Any links would be much appreciated.

Amazing, heartfelt post. These people have stolen so much from so many, and 90 minutes on a Saturday is only the half of it.

Absolutely agree. All of India needs to know what a disgrace the Rao family are.

Sorry pal, it's always a body blow when a beloved pet passes away. Stay strong.

Their statements to the fans have been very sporadic over the years. If they were setting us free I strongly doubt they'd even bother making a statement... unless it was some sort of face-saving effort.

It's the hope that kills. Please, please, please let me get what I want and have these parasites finally detach, one way or the other.

Great post. My thoughts exactly. We are headed for oblivion with Venky's, and always have been. Fear of the unknown is a normal feeling, but - one way or the other - this situation just can't go on.

Administration. We have to get rid of them by whatever means. A desire for anything else is, at this stage, a combination of Stockholm Syndrome and wishful thinking.

Superb shirts. I will be proud to own and wear one. Well done Eddie for your initiative. It feels like something is growing within the supporter base again after a long time. Hopefully we'll see the back of these b**tards before too long, whatever the cost.

Hardly a blood and thunder first half hour to impress the new manager... At least the audio is tip-top notch

Broughton says he believes Mowbray 'over-achieved for years.' That doesn't fill me with confidence. There also seems to be a distinctive unwillingness to bluntly state what the ambition is. A lot of vagueness. How hard is it to say, "We will fight for promotion"?

I'd go for Warnock too.

On the upside, why not put a cheeky little tenner on us to get relegated next season with Mowbray in charge? It represents, IMO, excellent value for money and I for one will be uncorking a nice 2007 Chateaux d'Yquem this evening at the prospect of Alex Neill leading us to promotion from League One in the 2023/24 season!!

So greatly disappointed tonight. Ever since the fabled 'run' I've been dreaming of promotion followed by a sale of the club. Doing so well on the pitch for that spell papered over a lot of gaping cracks though, that's for sure. Regardless of the whispers from those who have previously gushed over the positive vibes they had during tea and biccie chats with Derek Shaw, the club remains a husk and there is little to be positive about looking to the future under this ownership.

Yes, like practically all their other decisions, it defies logic

We just don't have enough creativity coming through the middle. Realistically three to four quality players were needed to give this team a jolt. Tonight we've been second to every 50-50. The players look shot and out of ideas.

Bloody magnificent performance. Phenomenal commitment and guts. I'm starting to believe.

Does anyone know if you can watch the game later - as if live - on Rovers TV? Thanks
