BLACKBURN Rovers boss Owen Coyle would not answer questions about tomorrow’s fans’ protest at Ewood Park during his pre-match press conference yesterday.
Organisers of the ‘1875 protest’, planned for the home match against Wolves which is being televised live on Sky Sports (kick-off 5.30pm), have asked fellow fans not to take their seats until the 18th minute and to leave on the 75th minute regardless of what the score is.

The action, which references the year Rovers was formed, is to demonstrate against the club’s owners Venky’s.
But before Coyle’s weekly press conference the Lancashire Telegraph and other media outlets were informed before the start of the sit-down with the Rovers manager that the subject was off limits.
The demonstration was first mooted at an open public meeting last month in Blackburn.
