Bollock brains!

If he has job by midnite tonite he well never be sacked and we will be relegated the players were lost and passionless the worst display I have ever seen.

No idea where we go from here. I don't think that there is any organisation at the club capable of running a new managerial selection process. Could somebody from the Venkys please persuade me that there is any plan? How did they build up a business?

Jack straw ,barbara castle,simon garner your boys are taking one hell of a beating DOOMED DOOMED HA HA HA

What is it going to take for Venky’s to acknowledge that the man they appointed manager of Blackburn Rovers if allowed to continue as manager, will not only take a once proud club into the Championship, but will end all hopes of their true aims of owning a EPL club to promote their business/businesses in the global market for greater financial gain. Venky’s should bite the bullet cut their losses sell the club to the highest bidder and move on, and put their dalliance of owning an EPL club down to nothing more than a failed avaricious objective on their part.

No, you are quite wrong - again. The game, begun with 11 on each side. If one team is so much better than the other, then you inevitably see sendings-off as they seek to 'level the playing field' with underhand tactics.

How did the tub-thumping Grintwums get on? And how come, as big a fan as you are, you never found your way to Boll-Ewood? Or aren't you let out with that ankle bracelet?

I reckon that's it chaps, not even Christmas and we're as good as relegated. The Venkys have left it too long before getting shut of this joker. Even if we scrape 3 points against Bolton, we're not going to get anything against Scouser's and Utd. Therefore we're on course for a 23 point season. It'll take a miracle to save us. Even if they sack him now, to get a new manager in and get the team playing the way they want will take time that we don't have.

Don't want to sound defeatist, but I believe that's the reality of it.

And if things were not bad enough, The bad news comes through to you protesting goons that Burnley have won again.

God save the kean....

Absolute pathetic display, no method schoolboy tactics,non-existant coaching performance, why bring on a defender when we are one goal down, there is no escape with same coaching staff, surely Venkes can see this they are not stupid, I am afraid now we are four points below the drop and Bolton next, nothing less than a win will do. we are doomed!!!!

If the Venkys sack Kean, they are so cheap and clueless that they will give it to Paul Clements. They wont bother with trying to appoint an experienced manager.

unfortunately i watched the whole 90 mins and it was embarassing how many times we just gave the ball away, rochina been the main culprit.

Kean should consider his own position as untenable now, the 1% of protestors he claims wont cut any ice now when the whole stadium seemed to chant kean out.

Kean out venkys out

Hope we can find an experienced manager prepared to work in this shambolic environment.

Brilliant Early Christmas Present if your Claret N Blue. Steve Kean well done all the best for a successful New Year bringing your great squad down. You Know it makes sense. Now for the insults to start but who cares? Not me that's for sure.

Should this not be the death knell of Kean then I'm afraid that is it as far as Prem football goes for BRFC.

Simply not good enough all over the park against a very poor WBA side struggling for points but, the desire to see the game through won the day for them. Credit to them.

Watching this abysmal football is gut wrenching.

Venky must act now or the heat will be well & truly turned up for the BWFC game.

Do the decent thing Kean & resign allowing for some other manager to attempt at rescuing the situation.

Gutted

And no fat sugar daddy to help you now aahhh ,cant wait to see the fleawood skanks moaning and booing on motd tonight might crack open a bottle of champers to celebrate .I fear agent keano might be rumbled by the clueless venky bollywood owners but who in there right minds would want to work for the talk the talk owners who cannot walk the walk ?

I think we should ask Jeremy Clarkson how to deal with Venks and kean. They will never ever be part of the solution to the problems at Ewood.

HAVE THEY NOT SACKED HIM YET?? TAXI FOR KEAN...PICK UP MARK HUGHES AND CO ON THE WAY BACK...CALL BY VENKY'S BANK FOR £20M TOWARD TRANSFER FEES....NOTHING LESS!!

Cant wait to hear what positives he comes out with this time , the only thing I would like to hear him say is ' I resign '

Even a temp manager till end of season will do. Get souness in on temp basis

Nobody would go near the hole!

M.Danny warned you before the season started that Kean in charge and BRFC is heading for Championship.Venky didn't live up to promises of more cash for ood quality players.Blackburn has lost city status to Preston because lack of good quality shops,University and a four star hotel/conference centre,the retail parks dont have enough big names like Ikea,DFS,Toys R US,KRISPIE KREME,Homebase,Starb
ucks,Harry Ramsden,Wilkinson,Ho
mebargain,Nandos etc etc.Like Kean the Blackburn council has no clue about the regeneration of Blackburn town centre.The Mall didn't attract big names like Waterstones,Disney stores,miss selfridge,Monsoon,Te
d Baker,Jack&Jones and just a few likes USC,H&M,Banks and Topman/Topshops.Blac
kburn has lost out to Preston in retail and leisure industries and with Kean in charge we are heading for Championship next season.

He didn't "break in from the right" ...he walked across the top of the box as three rovers watched him puck his spot. Pathetic. And calling off the protests is pathetic, too. We can support the lads all we want, but if they have follow kean's direction, it is futile. And if kean still gets to make the subs, we may as well not play the second halves anymore. At least you guys get to have few pints and sleep it off. This is how i get to start my saturday. Pi$$ off, kean.

It's time for Andy Cryer or any other LET journo to stop writing servile ****, and to put into print how the fans truly feel about Kean... i think everyone is now against kean, and it's going to be championship football next season, unless he goes NOW... c'mon Telegraph, stand up for Rovers... the team will be there long after Venky's chicken ads have gone...

This time the team was POOR !!! Getting Kean out will help but " must do better ! "

DOOOOOOOOOMED I tell thee.

That's us in the Chumpionship next season

Get real. There will NOT be another manager at Boll-Ewood for quite some time so get used to it. Do you have any idea how much debt the club are in and how much severance they'd have to give to Kean? They can't afford to get rid of him and that's a fact. Unless he volunteers to leave with no money as a gesture of good will, then he ain't going anywhere.

And as pointed out on numerous occasions, you're aiming for the wrong target. Kean is a symptom, not the disease. If you REALLY want to maintain your Premiership status, then you have to get rid of the chicken-pluckers. Getting rid of Kean might seem a victory if it happened but it would be like re-arranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic.

peter white r.i.p would have put a kean out headline up at least he had balls

I'm currently sat in the blues bar and not one person here looks even slightly devastated that we lost at home to west brom. Ridiculous pal.

I can not believe this i want to curse someone to hell but fortunate enough i have come to realise that my words hold no power, the fact that Kean (who is lucky that im still calling him by his name) has not been sacked is evident of this fact... Oh and i totally blame Pedersen for the second goal and the fool who played an attack minded midfieder in that position...

wouldn't bank on the club being in existence much longer...Venky's will drain off the parachute payments plus player sales then sell it on for next to nothing (making an overall profit)....it has all been planned along with Kean and Jerome Anderson as a worse case scenario.

Despite whatever line he keeps trotting out, even he must now accept that he cannot turn it around.

NOS, we are, as you say:

DOOMED

For a Rovers fan to be at that stage say's it all really.

One of the worst displays Ive ever seen by Rovers. We are down already I think. It's too late to sort this shambles out now. I wonder what "positives" dog **** breath will take from this?

not to worry... we can prob sell Jerome's brat for 3 bob.... money can be put towards taxi for Kean...

FFS!! what will it take to get rid of this joker?
He has no pride or morals or he would have gone by now.

Leave now for God sake leave!!

Hi Doc,

I'm resigned pal to what is inevitable & as you point out folk's don't seem to disappointed !

That was dire mate.

Enjoy your nectar's Doc :)

Well where are all the Kean/venky luvvies now,we have seen this coming for a year,its too late now,we are doomed,the lunatics are running the asylum.

Now then, this guy has kept hold of his job for one reason only. It has been mocked for a while, but a posting named Ewood the truth suggested that Kean and a group of Glasgow criminals. with the aid of Mr Weasle himself, Jerome Anderson, became part owners of the club through the back door. When I first read that, I thought what a fairy tale.

Given what has happened since and by that I mean an improved contract, the continued backing of the owners, his promise about the 6 winnable games and that we have no chance of being relegated, I have come to the conclusion that this article has some truth in it.

Quite recently a former high profile employee of the club who left his position in May of this year was shown the article. He spent several minutes reading it and handed it back to the person who gave it to him. Pushed for comments by people in the room, he said a ' a lot of that is true'

It just gets worse and if Kean cant see and doesnt accept it he deserves all the contempt he receives at Ewood Park - the club is a joke - it lacks leadership both on and off the field - there is no organisation to the team and no alternative plan when things are going wrong

It used to be a pleasure to go to Ewood now it is not even mildly entertaining. I am noit even sure this team would survive in the Championship with this guy in charge.

Sadly Kean and Venkys will have the reputation in football of being wimps (fighter Kean you are having a laugh)
who murdered a respectable club within 12 months - Enjoy your Christmas because not many fans at Ewood will with this bunch around

The problem is Venkys they are plain incompetent when it comes to football

Let's face it, most of us knew in September we were going down. I've been to every home game and a few away recently, but that's the first time the body language of the players said they weren't playing for kean.

It was so disappointing, people in the Blackburn end were falling out and arguing.

I can take getting beat, but getting beat without a fight is not acceptable.

We want our rovers back....
Before its too late!

It's a swift one then home to the port tonight sir. I need something, cos Steve keanburn rovers are a joke.

I was convinced he would walk down the tunnel ring India and resign, how can you carry on with 4 stands chanting Kean out.

But no on the radio he comes saying we were on top once we scored , I must get to the opticians on Monday as obviously need some new specs.

Five Live comment;

Blackburn boss Steve Kean, when asked if he can see himself walking away: "No I can't. We will be back in tomorrow and we will prepare for the game on Tuesday. After that game the table will hopefully look better. The owners are fully behind me but I am sure they like the players, the staff and fans are disappointed. We want to be winning games especially at home and it makes Tuesday's game (at home to Bolton) massive if it wasn't massive already."

What a W@nker!!

What about the back-to-back wins Steve? Didn't you pin-point these games as home bankers! Still, rag a win against the Trotters and you're safely into the New Year. Just heard you on Radio Rovers sounding a little shakey, no mention of the 1% minority ringing in your ears!! Funny that. Now that Hodgson enjoyed his return, it's all down to Kevin Davis to take the p*ss with the last laugh. The writing's now officially on the wall.

Things are certainly deteriorating. Whereas we've been OK going forward most of the season but unable to defend as a team, now we're poor throughout.

It does feel like a lost cause now.

That has got to be the last straw. If he is in charge on Tuesday we will be bottom for Christmas and relegated by Easter.

then you will meet Burnley, the best team in the world. words from sid.

This was sadly predicted by many of us once it was clear towards the end of last season that "I see no plane" Kean was not up to the job and it was clear that whatever Venkys plan was for Rovers it was not a footie plan.
So where are those who scorned us critics as cynics, of not giving Kean and Venkys a chance now ?
This is going down as one of football's great disasters -Titantic Ewood style. Today Rovers were clueless, lacking energy, drive, plan.
Kean won't be replaced and who would take over anyway ? A grand football club admired and respected for punching above its weight ruined by Spivs.
What's going on at Rovers is criminal. When we're declared bakrupt and lose ten points, Kean will say that's why we went down.
...and two LBs injured and our agent's son, a promising LB, isn't even on the bench. Talk about cutting the wage bill. Send for the fraud squad.

The fact that about three moronic Burnley fans post on here regulalry, that quick after their own game has finished just proves what Rovers fans and national stats show, that people from Burnley are generally of lower educational ability. Go on lads, keep proving the point.

What a terrible performance! The situation is so hopeless, you have to ask the question, if Kean was sacked, which manager of any repute would a. take on a team in our league position and b. come to a club that is so badly run and in such dissaray. We would end up with another inexperienced puppet maybe plucked from the lower divisions. In the immortal words of Private Frazer.... we're doomed!

Brilliant quote from rovers fooball blog;

The worst team I’ve ever seen in a blue and white shirt.

That’s how I described today to my better half.

I’ve seen some bad stuff down the years at Ewood.

But today really does take the biscuit.

Pedersen at left back? Hanley at right back? Really?

I know what – let’s bring Goodwillie on. In the history of the Premier League has there been a player who’s ever looked more unfit than him?

Jason Roberts? We need a goal. Let’s bring on our non-scoring saviour then.

There can be no more excuses. No more putting a positive spin on things.

Steve Kean is well and truly out of his depth. Venky’s? Are you really THAT stupid?

Having him in charge of a Premier League team is like asking my better half to fit a new bathroom.

She wouldn’t have a clue.

Steve. Neither do you.

Never known such apathy as the crowd in the first half - I can only assume the same despair took over the blues bar afterwards. It was like that film - "The Silence of the Fans" - sometimes silence speaks louder than shouts?
.
But in the end nearly the whole ground shouted "Kean Out" and now he has moved on to excuse number 244 rather than have the decency to fall on his sword. This man has no morals either as well as being a numpty.
.
Venkys - if Kean does not go this week we are down. If you sack him now and give the new manager some funds in Jan we may just have a chance - so act now.
.
If you don't have a manager lined up then still "Sack Kean" and put Ryan Nelsen as caretaker for a week whilst you sort it out - start with this list -
.
Mark Hughes
Rafael Benitez
Paul Lambert
Granham Souness

How did the FA think Venky's were proper and fit persons to buy this club. Only 12 months in and suggestions of financial problems. Surely during the interview process it could have been seen that these people were well off the mark with their views and expectations. Just after buying the club they said they wanted a top four finish and have
£5 million to spend. Someone should have put them straight before they bought it. now we are landed with this manager who has just had his contract improved for being a failure and to cap it all we have Anderson with his bad purchases. This team is not good enough to survive the Premiership.The sooner they walk and let us start again the better it will be. We need this lot out.

It does. They have a massive sign about drinking and driving as you enter Burnley. Tells you a lot about the place. A big dive. Kean would fit in there though. Burnley fans are obsessed with Rovers. They sing about nothing else at their games. We are their world.

"If you don't have a manager lined up then still "Sack Kean" and put Ryan Nelsen as caretaker for a week whilst you sort it out - start with this list -

Mark Hughes
Rafael Benitez

Granham Souness"

No to Benitez.
The other 3 look good, prefer Hughes... no decent English manager's out there.

Such is the sad state of 'English' football.

And the Happy Hammers go joint top - whilst Stoke City go 14 points in front of us.
To all those who slaughtered "Hoofball", Happy Christmas!

Hasn't it got to the point where anyone would be better than Kean?

my girlfriend is Maltese... knows nothing about football... but would be better than Kean, cos at least she will listen and knows when she is out of her depth... so i am putting rosanne's name in there too..

That was absolutely appalling.

No tactical nous; minimal effort; no skill; no energy.

Outclassed by a poor, struggling team for the second week running.

The only hope for us is that there are other teams around us at the bottom of the table and we are not yet marooned.

But, as many people have already identified, how do we attract a quality manager to Ewood? Clueless owners, poor bank balance and a fan base which is small and tolerant of the ignorant minority who don't know how to behave decently.

At least at Sunderland we showed some fight but even that was lacking today.

Well where are all the Kean/venky luvvies now,we have seen this coming for a year,its too late now,we are doomed,the lunatics are running the asylum.

its ok the bloody players all saying that they are loyal to kean and saying give him a chance, when the **** hits the fan come may and we are relegated they will all **** off to other teams showing absolutely no loyalty to the fans or the club at all...... makes my blood boil it does.

I must say I almost walked away when I saw the team selected. If ever a game was lost before the kick off this was it. Also proved beyond doubt that the players he purchased in the summer were a coplete and utter waste of time. Why does someone at LET ask the simple question if we havetwo full backs missing why are two full backs Kean brought to the club not selected. What is the point of paying players if they never play.
Venkys if you do not sack Kean now please do not give him more money to waste and save it for the new guy to help us get out of the Championship. We need it although I cannot see any one buying many of this lot so clearing the decks is going to be difficult once again.

Try not to confuse venkys with normal football club owners, they are linked with anderson and have shown utter ignorance since taking over, I don't think they are about to change any time soon.

I expect that those people who were demanding the removal of Allardyce are broadly the same as those currently calling for Kean to go.

If only the owners had taken the time to get decent advice on the way forward when they bought the Club.

There was no need to panic.

Unfortunately, no-one can accuse them of panicking now. However, I believe that, given a decent break from the ill-conceived protests they WILL sack Kean as not to do so will make them look ludicrous.

Who knows where we go from there.

Kean is in the biggest shithole in the world matey and don't you ever, ever forget it! Go and sit in the corner until you've learnt to respect your betters grintwum.!

Yet again non of our owners bothered to turn up - absolute DISGRACE !!

How can you make well informed decisions if you are never hands on ??

HAHAHAHAHAHA SWEET HAHAHAHA HAPPY CRIMBO LOSER'S, I SAY LOSER'S

who in their right would come to rovers to manage the team and i use that word loosely after todays lack of effort with this lot running things???????

I TOTALLY AGREE - any player who comes out with "we back Kean cr@p" should ONLY be allowed to do so if they publicly state in the same artical that they will stay for a full season, even (??) sorry I mean, WHEN we get relegated.

(although this obviously DOES NOT apply to Jason Roberts who is a total to$$pot, Venky/Kean appologist and a cr@p footballer).

makes me laugh
all the dingles on here and despite the disaster that is rovers, we are still higher, bigger and better than they are.

suck it up dingles ;-)

last manager was sacked after getting beat by bolton - history repeating itself?

be interesting to hear how all the experts say kean is doing the right thing an is jus very unlucky....beat 2-1 at home by a poor baggies team...46% possession at home...no effective width...pedersen full back (wtf that about?)..one up front for most of game ploughing a lone furrow... morrison and odemwinge doing an impression of a sharp knife cutting through silk, robinson our most effective passer and midfielder...rochina running down cul-de-sacs........W

And a Rovers' goal even Big Sam might have been a little embarrassed about! You are right throughout your analysis though. That was abject.

No you are wrong, with this clown in charge, next season we will be heading for Division one!

Another inept performance with the wrong tactics.

Totally. Average player, mediocre pundit too.

I see the MUPPET man Kean has been in charge for a year, I am a regular reader of the evening telegraph reports on a Monday, throughout that year we have only played poor on two occasions according to the MUPPET man. If that does'nt show he knows nothing I don't know what will. Venkys won't sack him as it proves they were wrong all along.

Venkys CAN'T sack him. he will have to sack himslef as he owns as much of the club as they do! He has stated again today that he wont resign, he says he is a fighter and the table will look a lot better after the Bolton game. I dont know how, as we are 4 points adrift of safety and now 3 points adrift of Wigan, so even a wil will mean we are still second off the bottom. Not that I think we will beat Bolton, a draw is the best we can expect and probably wont even get that.

Another of our 'so called' winable games gone. It's almost 8pm and Kean is still in charge! I would say if he is not gone by Sunday, truce over and 100% protest against Kean from the next match. This hanging on is only postponing the inevitable. He needs to go then the rebuilding can commence, although it may now be too late for this season!

4 Points from the 15 so far from the 6 winnable games. He will still ne here at 9pm 10pm 11pm and this time next week. Thats is whether we win lose or draw against Bolton.

Anyone in any doubt at the minute that the owners are corrupt, should have no doubt after the Bolton game. We will NOT win that game and he will NOT be sacked. I will be paying no more money to watch this CORRUPTION continue.

VENKY'S, KEAN, ANDERSON ARE ALL CORRUPT.

How the hell did the walker trust come to sell out to venkys? Obviously no due diligence was done it they would have seen that venkys were totally unsuitable to carry on Jack Walkers work. Jack loved this club but was a businessman who knew football is a results business and if people didn't perform he replaced them with someone who would. I dread to think what Jack would make of the shambles that are venkys and Kean but the walker trust must take some responsibility for our current predicament

Another of our 'so called' winable games gone. It's almost 8pm and Kean is still in charge! I would say if he is not gone by Sunday, truce over and 100% protest against Kean from the next match. This hanging on is only postponing the inevitable. He needs to go then the rebuilding can commence, although it may now be too late for this season!

4 Points from the 15 so far from the 6 winnable games. He will still ne here at 9pm 10pm 11pm and this time next week. Thats is whether we win lose or draw against Bolton.

Anyone in any doubt at the minute that the owners are corrupt, should have no doubt after the Bolton game. We will NOT win that game and he will NOT be sacked. I will be paying no more money to watch this CORRUPTION continue.

VENKY'S, KEAN, ANDERSON ARE ALL CORRUPT.

VENKY'S, KEAN, ANDERSON ARE ALL CORRUPT. That comment is actually LIBEL in English law... but i must agree... so, if you are wrong then so am I... THE VENKY'S, KEAN AND ANDERSON (JEROME) ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF CROOKS.... and although the "LANCASHIRE EVENING TELEGRAPH" Are aware of this fact they do not have the required gonads to say so... too afraid to lose the advertising revenue... shame on you lanc's eve telegraph... what is a local paper for???

Relegation is now a CERTAINTY. I thought I hated Burnley, but what I feel for Venky's and Kean far surpasses that hatred. I honestly can't remember feeling like this about any other human beings. I totally, and utterly DESPISE them.

Between them, they have totally DESTROYED this once proud football club. I'm actually feeling SICK as I type this. I cannot comprehend what has happened over this last twelve months, or why it has happened.

I am so ANGRY, it is almost unbearable. If I had the misfortune to come face to face with any of the Rao's, or Steve Kean, I honestly think I would spend the rest of my life in jail.

On another site, someone has posted a link to Keans post match interview. I haven't heard it, as I can't bear to listen to the incessant drivel that comes out of his mouth, or what other orifice he speaks out of. But I'd be willing to bet, that he said he would take the positives out of this game. Well I didn't see any. Such is the ignorance, arrogance, and sheer bloody stupidity of the 'man', he would look you in the eye, whilst keeping a straight face, and tell you that we still have NO CHANCE of going down! He is a total DISASTER. A born LOSER, and a habitual LIAR. And Venky's love him!
So what does that make them MORONS?

I haven't got a clue as to Venky's true intentions for this once proud, once respected football club. But i'll tell you this; they are not honourable. Whatever is going on down there, is almost certainly CRIMINAL. The truth WILL come out eventually, but by the time it does, this famous Lancashire club will be in total ruins. We may even NEVER recover.

A few weeks ago, a regular poster on here, Bazzer, referred to the Bhatti Brothers, who Bought WWFC in the eighties. I vaguely remembered them, and did a bit of research on the subject. What I discovered was frightening. It sent shivers down my spine. Without going into too much detail, Wolves went from Division One, to Division Four, and to the brink of extinction, in consecutive seasons. If you are unfamiliar with the situation, just Google it. The similarities between them, and the IDIOTS that own our club now, are startling.

Everything that is humanly possible, must be done to get rid of the PARASITES, that have attached themselves to our club, before it is too late, and there is nothing left to salvage. Make no mistake; relegation this season is nothing, compared to the carnage that awaits, if we don't rid ourselves of the cancer, that is spreading through this once proud football club.

How the hell did the walker trust come to sell out to venkys? Obviously no due diligence was done it they would have seen that venkys were totally unsuitable to carry on Jack Walkers work. Jack loved this club but was a businessman who knew football is a results business and if people didn't perform he replaced them with someone who would. I dread to think what Jack would make of the shambles that are venkys and Kean but the walker trust must take some responsibility for our current predicament

Due diligence WAS carried out on Venky's. The Walker Trust, AND the FA are both victims of confidence tricksters.

I don't know if you remember Ashan Ali Syed, another Indian 'businessman' that was trying to buy Rovers, around the same time as Venky's? He later went on to buy Racing Santander, and they are now on the brink of COLLAPSE! They are another club that have been taken to the cleaners by shysters.

Lets face reality the players will back Kean all the way he is hardly likely to give them the hairdryer treatment for under perfoming!

Venkys dont care what happens to the club, from a business perspective they cannot lose, simply press the ejector button, claim a parachute payment, sell off the wantaways and freefall to safety.

We are going down faster than a dingle who is a promise from his cousin!!

brockhall in the morning anyone?

First para in the match report says it all "pathetic"! If the players are behind the Manager then they are for sure not showing it on the pitch. Disgraceful in every way!

4.2M in agents fees - that's at least double what the shower of sh*te brought into the club is worth. I hope Jerome is too busy counting his coin to help out again in this transfer window!!

Unfotunately there is absolutely no chance whatsoever of Keano turing this round - none whatsover!

Why do you think I am not in agreement with you.

I totally agree.

SADLY, YOU ARE A B*RNLEY B@STARD.

I watched the demise of Workington as a football league club in the late 60's to mid 70's and in all that time I never saw a more inept Manager than what Rovers have now and Kean has had money to spend ,those guys had peanuts but they had courage and commitment. If one saw that at Ewood one may feel different but today was one of the worst organised sides I have seen on a football pitch for years. At least Blackpool and Burnley went down fighting today one got the impression the players were not with Kean - they have sussed him out for what he is -
As for Venkys if they are fit and proper people to run a football club will someone please explain how such a verdict is arrived at because it beggars belief and the Premier League should be ashamed of itself

The people I feel sorry for are the genuine fans who have paid out good money in hard times to be served up with garbage week in week out

How many half season tickets have Rovers sold? I think if they Venkys were genuine owners they should offer to buy back Season tickets at half price from the many disillusioned Rovers fans. Sadly it will be the genuine staff who suffer while the Manager and players are protected by the PFA

Many will not be conned next year that is for sure

Steve Kean has to go, an so do the so called fans that boo players before they even touch the ball - maybe time to find another to team to boo/support. allardyce, Kean, Venkys, MGP, Roberts, Andrews, Diouf. Is anyone safe from the dingles in disguise booing their own team?

Yet again non of our owners bothered to turn up - absolute DISGRACE !!

How can you make well informed decisions if you are never hands on ??

Agreed!! The club is an absolute shambles from top to bottom. All theories as to why dont really matter anymore. We as fans have seen the club we share dearly, torn apart in 12 sorry months. I have to say today the team looked totally inept. I fear even a change of manager now will be too late. We are well and truly goosed.
I sit in upper tier of Darwen end, I made my way to a spot just above the dug out, screamed with everything i have for Kean to be Man, to resign, to F OFF. But he's a coward, a low life a greedy **** who is in it only for himself. He has no shame, if he had one ounce of self respect he'd put up his hands and admit he's not friggin up to the job.
I really do think there is more to the influence of Anderson. It is just incomprehensible as to how Kean is still in the job.
I'd call on the protest's to resume against Bolton. We are already goosed. Even if we win that match, do we want Kean to remain? We may get the odd win, but the team today looked like championship fodder.
Venkys obviously do not care for BRFC as we do.
Lets fight for what we have all cared for over the years. We have had our ups and downs, but this has to be our biggest challenge. The very existence of BRFC as we know it is being ruined by 5 clowns.
No more apathy. Please all join the call for change.
100% BRFC

I expect that those people who were demanding the removal of Allardyce are broadly the same as those currently calling for Kean to go. If only the owners had taken the time to get decent advice on the way forward when they bought the Club. There was no need to panic. Unfortunately, no-one can accuse them of panicking now. However, I believe that, given a decent break from the ill-conceived protests they WILL sack Kean as not to do so will make them look ludicrous. Who knows where we go from there.

Yes and you would be able to fill them in on looking ludicrous. How sad that the poor owners couldn't care a monkey's cuss what anyone thinks. I think you are way behind in your reasoning. Poor Venkys chose the, too good to be true options, and guess what they were too good to be true. Well done to you for finally realising you were wrong, I think you should stop calling people who have grown tired of terrible miss - management and aire their views as they should. I hope you can somehow realise what damage you have done by attacking honest people who have an opinion on what they see. Given some of your recent posts, I don't expect rational behaviour, but eventually, you may regain stability. Good luck.

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

I think you need to update your crackers, that' not even funny.

ITS NOT ABOUT THE MANAGER!
All of this 'dignified under pressure' and its 'unfare on Kean' and 'his family can't attend' nonsense is distracting people from the real issue.

IT IS ABOUT THE CLUB!
No one man at Rovers has the right to destroy our club. Steve Kean's actions are doing exactly that.
We don't know Steve Kean, we have not even had a conversation with the man. I don't know if he is good, bad, or mad!. I do not hate him but I do love the club.
Now is the time for a change

For goodness sake the

VENKYS MUST ACT NOW!!!!!!!

How did the FA sanction this take over, 12 months on with reports of financial problems and owners with absolutely no idea how a Premier League club should be run.Surely during the interview process it should have been clear that they were in cloud cuckoo land. Top 4 finish with £5 million to spend, It should have been obvious that they were not up to it. Or did nobody bother to interview them and ask them about their future plans. Not happy at all.

Salvation can still be achieved and this train crash averted but 3 things need to happen pronto :

1. Kean out now.

2. Hughes in now.

3. Hughes given minimum 20 mio quid to purchase two full backs and a creative centre mid.

Anything less than the foregoing and we are def through the trapdoor and into oblivion.

But I fear Shonkys wont do what is required - as posters above have often stated - they are skinflints.

So folks - fasten your seatbelts.

After watching Steve Kean's interview I really think he should be sacked and sacked on Monday morning. The team are playing without fight; just to see Pederson defending in the build up to second goal makes me sick. He is a senior pro and just not anywhere near up to the required standard to survive in the Premier League. Maybe too players are simply either just not good enough or experienced enough or simply need a kick up the backside and told to get 100% fit, work and train harder (a lot) and play with passion and commitment. Just look at how much improved Wigan are, although they do have a decent manager. The irritating Kean deserves to be sacked; however he will carry on until the end. Someone at the club should act because enough is enough.

===Crowd trouble at Ewood Park===

Crowd trouble at football matches are far from a modern phenomenon. Blackburn Rovers have a number of local Lancashire rivalries, due to being the most successful of all the town clubs in Lancashire and England and due to the relative proximity of numerous other town clubs
such as Bolton Wanderers, Blackpool, Burnley, Preston North End and Wigan, along with Lancashire city clubs such as Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United and Manchester City.

The local rivalry between Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End goes back over one hundred years. In 1888 Preston refused to play a match against Blackburn due to their reception by the Blackburn fans. Whether this was at Ewood Park or not is unclear as Rovers did not take up permanent residence at Ewood Park until 1890.

On Christmas Day 1890 during Rovers first season at Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers played local rivals Darwen. Rovers were due to play Wolverhampton Wandereres the following day and so fielded a weakened team. This infuriated the fans, particularly as ticket prices had been
increased for the game. When the Darwen team appeared, the fans urged them to leave the pitch, which they did, later re-emerging with their second eleven. Eventually, Blackburn and Darwen fans invaded the
pitch, pulling up the goal posts and threatening to wreck the press box. The police intervened and finally managed to control the situation.

Lancashire derbies can always be heated affairs and on 27.11.1926, during a Division 1 (Level 1) fixture Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United saw some ugly scenes of crowd trouble immediately after the final whistle was blown. Rovers player, 'our' Sid Puddefoot was seen by many Rovers fans to be lying on the ground after the final whistle. The Rovers fans believed he had been hit by a United player and began a pitch invasion. This led to a dangerous situation in which the Manchester United players were surrounded by hundreds of angry Rovers fans. The police intervened for the safety of the players and managed to clear a path to the players tunnel. However, hundreds of Rovers fans remained on the pitch and many efforts were made to attack the United players. Once inside their changing room, the United players locked the door in fear. Soon after, the police managed to disperse the crowd. Rovers won the game 2-1.

Blackburn Rovers did have an active hooligan following in the late 1960's to the mid 1970's seeing the town of Blackburn and Ewood Park develop a particularly fearsome reputation. From the mid 1960's to the
mid 1970's Rovers began to fall into decline, eventually being relegated to Division 3 (Level 3) at the end of the 1970-1971 season for the first time in their history, remaining their until promotion as Division 3 champions during their centenary year at the end of the 1974-1975 season. From the mid 1970's onwards, Ewood Park began to lose its fearsome reputation.

As early as 1963 there were reports in the national media of fighting between Blackburn and Liverpool fans at Ewood Park. From the late 1960's to the early 1970's, Blackburn's hooligan following was led mainly by Hells Angel's from Darwen. In the 1970's, skin head gangs
from the Little Harwood, Queens Park and Audley areas of Blackburn began to follow the club. During this period, there were hooligan mobs in the Darwen End, Blackburn End and Riverside terrace which occasionally resulted in serious out breaks of crowd trouble with Manchester City, Bolton Wanderers and Burnley hooligans both inside and outside Ewood Park. Blackburn is a small town and sometimes simply cannot cope with the numbers that city clubs in particular are capable of
pulling.

The National Front had a presence at Ewood Park in the 1970's and early to mid 1980's. The NF youth paper, Bulldog was also occasionally on sale outside Ewood Park. One of the things that perhaps acted as the glue that that bound together hooligan mobs/organised casual's
firms in the area was the NF. On one occasion in 1978, the target of racist abuse at Ewood Park was a Crystal Palace player Vince Hilaire, the first established black players in English football, who was given a volley of monkey chants and foul abuse coupled with National Front support which indicated that there was something more sinister taking place; in those days almost all black players got the same racist treatment at many English football grounds, Ewood Park was no exception. Alex Williams the Manchester City Goal Keeper (1985) was showered with bananas, apples, monkey chants and other racist abuse at the beginning of the second half as he ran towards the Blackburn End to take up position in City's goal. Williams was awarded the MBE in the 2002 New Years Honours list for his services to young people. A very large Union Flag with, "BLACKBURN NF" emblazoned along the middle was also highlighted on national TV news in the mid 1980's during a news report on racism at England matches. This kind of menace was certainly not uncommon at football grounds in England at
the time and Ewood Park in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s, it went with the experience of attending games at Ewood Park.

Other early influential hooligan mobs that followed Blackburn Rovers came from the Mill Hill and Higher Croft areas of Blackburn, known as the Mill Hill Mob and H Division. However, there were often battles between these two rival gangs in Blackburn town centre.

During a game against London club Queens Park Rangers, 17.09.1969 a Rovers fan ran onto the pitch from the Blackburn End and attacked the Queens Park Rangers Goal Keeper. He avoided police detection but was arrested some weeks later. Although incidences of individual fans encroaching the Ewood Park field of play and attacking or attempting to attack players, match officials or opposing fans is rare, this kind of incident has been known to happen; a fan ran on the pitch to attack
the Burnley Goal Keeper in a fixture at Ewood Park during the 1965-1966 season before being intercepted and a fan ran onto the pitch, again from the Riverside Stand to remonstrate with the referee during a 1996-1997 season fixture. However, the QPR Goal Keeper attack is interesting as it was one of the first, some believe to be the first incident in English football, were a fan ran onto the pitch and physically assaulted a player. Rovers lost the game 0-1.

An organised hooligan firm, the Blackburn Youth emerged in 1982 as Blackburn Rovers first casuals firm. As Blackburn lies in East Lancashire just north of the major Lancashire cities of Liverpool and Manchester, Blackburn has historically been strongly influenced by their causal trends in music and clothes much earlier than other
Lancashire towns. For example, to this day Rovers fans or 'scarfers' and casuals refer to Burnley fans and casuals as, "the scruffs".

Blackburn's catchment area includes Darwen, Accrington, Rishton, Great Harwood and Clitheroe and there has often been an uneasy relationship between the firms/mobs from each of these places, as well as from within the town itself. More recently this has included trouble between followers from Blackburn and Darwen and Clitheroe and Accrington; these tensions explaining Blackburn's inability to organise a consistently active hooligan firm. Also, Blackburn's neighbouring satellite towns include small firms from the so-called “bigger” clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Leeds United.

During the early 1970's this was not the case. In 1971 Burnley fans arrived early at Ewood Park for a "friendly" fixture and hurried into the Darwen End. At this time the terracing at Ewood Park was un-sectioned from the Blackburn End all the way round to the Darwen End. At half-time the fans behind the goal would sometimes exchange ends. Those standing on the Riverside, caught in the middle, were buffeted around a little when there was a big crowd, but there was not always much violence. However there were occasional bouts of madness, such as the time two supporters cleared the Blackburn End perimeter wall to attack the opposition goalkeeper.

For the 1971 "friendly" Burnley fixture, the Police forced some Rovers fans to enter the Blackburn End and then would not let them past the wall barrier next to Riverside terracing. With Rovers winning 2-0, Terry Eccles, a player who had progressed through Rovers youth ranks scoring both both goals, the Blackburn End suddenly started to empty of a large mob of fans. They climbed the wall separating the Blackburn End from the Riverside terrace and made their way along The Riverside towards the Darwen End where the Burnley were standing.

Shortly later crowd trouble broke out in the Darwen End as the Blackburn End mob entered the Darwen End along with Rovers mobs from The Riverside joining in. Fighting broke out with those Burnley fans who did not run out of the far side of the Darwen End. Eventually, the Burnley fans were routed and thrown over the wall at front of the Darwen End, which also collapsed. This incident made the front page of the Lancashire Evening Telegraph for several day.

Memories of a 15,000 strong Rovers away support taking four sides of Turf Moor during a Boxing day 1977 fixture after drinking heavily in Burnley town centre and Turf Moor pubs were also still burned in the collective memory of the Burnley support.

It was incidents like the above, coupled with Rovers results on the pitch that would lead to a near terminal decline of Burnley FC and in turn to individual and small scale acts of vindictiveness by Burnley fans at Ewood Park in the first part of the 1980's.

On 04.04.1983 during a Blackburn Rovers v Burnley Division 2 fixture, protected by the police and the recently erected perimeter fencing, two or three Burnley fans clambered onto the Darwen End roof, ripped 3
or 4 tiles off it, struggling to throw them onto the pitch and instead hitting their own supporters, huddled behind the goal. This was done in attempt to get the game abandoned. The Burnley manager came onto the pitch to address the Burnley fans in an attempt to instil some calm. A solitary Burnley fan had also taken the care to weld together two darts so that the weapon had a double-headed spike. It was smuggled into Ewood Park and hurled into the Blackburn Rovers penalty area. This particularly cowardly individual attack from the terraces
on a lone Goal Keeper came when Terry Gennoe was the goalkeeper in a Blackburn Rovers side inflicting a defeat on Burnley that would help send them down from the old Second Division and into a spiral of decline whereby they would not play Blackburn Rovers again competitively in the league for 17 years. Order was eventually restored with the game ending in a win for Blackburn Rovers; to the delight of jubilant Rovers fans thoroughly enjoying another victory of their oldest foe taking great pleasure in significantly contributing to Burnley's downfall and eventual demise that would last for more than two decades, though of course no one at the time realised just how significant that particular defeat at Ewood Park would be. Rovers won the game 2-1.

During Division 2 games (Level 2) against Chelsea (18.10.1980) which ended 1-1 and Manchester City (02.03.1985) which ended 0-1 there were brief crowd disturbances along the Riverside Stand terracing and Blackburn End terracing. During an FA Cup game involving
Chorley (classed as the home team) and Preston North End (06.12.1986) there were ugly scenes of crowd trouble when the Blackburn End erupted in violence. It is unclear exactly who was involved but the local organised casuals firm known as the Blackburn Youth were believed
to be involved; the game ended 0-0.

As football hooliganism at Ewood Park slowly went into decline from the mind 1970's onwards, the club also made efforts to defeat the problem and make Ewood Park and Blackburn Rovers more family oriented. One campaign revolved around encouraging the already passionate Rovers fans to keep up the vocal support but keep down the foul language. Blackburn Rovers also attempted to attract more of the sizeable local Asian population to Ewood Park in the 1980's with representatives of the club speaking on local radio about their desire for more Asian people to attend matches at Ewood Park. Sadly, this appears to have had little success. There was also an aggressive policing policy inside the ground which in itself could lead to minor disturbances and an iron perimeter fence was erected around the pitch in the early 1980s. From the 1990s onwards, most of the mainly partisan pubs outside Ewood Park have been strictly for home supporters only.

As already pointed out, from the mid 1970's and particularly during the 1980s Rovers fortunes slowly progressed relative to their nearest Lancashire town rivals Preston North End, Blackpool, Bolton Wanderers and Burnley, which seems to have been reflected in the behaviour of the fans both inside and outside Ewood Park. Also, the 1980s witnessed several events that were to change football as a spectator sport: the
Bradford City FireDisaster (1985); the Hysell Stadium Tragedy (1985); The Hillsborough Disaster (1989) and the Taylor Report (1989) the latter resulting in standing terracing in England being phased out, replaced by all-seater stadiums, in some cases completely new stadiums being built.

During the 1990s, the face of football stadia in England began to change and with it the type of atmosphere inside the stadia and the type spectator clubs were now attempting to attract. This meant pricing policies that deliberately out priced and alienated working-class supporters; this was done in the belief that by attracting more women, families and middle-class consumers that
football stadiums would become safer places. Setting aside the moral question of social prejudice through the deliberate policy of out pricing working-class supporters, it is not a sensible business measure for football clubs to out price working-class fans when those clubs represent working-class areas. However, there is no doubt that
these measures had some success but how much, is open to debate.

Added to these measures local Blackburn born business man and life-long Rovers fan Jack Walker bought the club in 1991 and Rovers eventually gained promotion to the Premier League during the 1991-1992 season. Ewood Park was then rebuilt between between 1993-1994, with its official reopening in 1995.

Burnley have been Blackburn Rovers rivals for much of Rovers history but some fans, particularly newer, younger fans simply ignored Burnley in the 1990's, dismissing claims that Burnley have always been seen as
Rovers main rivals. In the 2000's hostilities renewed to some extent and now many fans believe they should be seen as Rovers main rivals once more. However, some Rovers fans still believe that Burnley have not been worthy of such status since Rovers began Burnley's quarter of a century of decline the early 1980's.

There have been minor disturbances inside Ewood Park with Manchester United, Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers fans during the 1990s and 2000s but the long awaited Ewood Park fixture with Burnley, the first in the top flight of English league football for 43 years resulted in a major police operation mounted by the Lancashire constabulary similar to the kind seen in Scottish football at Glasgow Celtic v Glasgow Rangers matches; reinforcing the popular view amongst Rovers fans of Burnley as the, "Millwall of the North".

Many Burnley fans felt that the police operation put in place for the game was an over reaction as Burnley fans could only travel to the game from Turf Moor and could only travel on official transport provided by the club leaving Turf Moor at about 07:30 for a 13:00 early kick off. One example being of a Burnley fan having to leave
Ewood Park, Blackburn for Turf Moor, Burnley, travelling back to Ewood Park, Blackburn for the game, then returning to Burnley after the game before making another return journey to his home in Blackburn later
that evening. A journey of approx. twelve hours and forty miles when the supporter in question only lived a 5 minute walk from the Ewood Park.

However, the fear of serious crowd trouble was considered very real by the police. Blackburn v Burnley is the oldest derby in English football and arguably the greatest rivalry in the game. There has been a long history of crowd trouble when these two clubs have met. It is the sort of game in which passions can become so intense that not only hooligan mobs or organised casuals but fans, nick named "scarfers" by casuals, can also become involved.

Although the view amongst some Rovers fans was that though unnecessary, the police operation was an inevitable outcome of a curious combination of decades of exaggeration, half truths and Burnley folk-lore. This was the culture of the Burnley bogey-man myth; involving dare-and-do invasions of Blackburn town centre, Ewood Park and attacks upon meek Rovers fans, which can be traced back to the pubs, school yards and terraced streets of Burnley. One theory to this phenomenon is that such tales of extravagance were the consequence of Burnley followers attempting to maintain their profile and that of Burnley FC as their club plummeted to new depths of lower league mediocrity during the 1980's, which began with their defeat to Rovers during the Easter, 1983 fixture which resulted in crowd trouble inside Ewood Park.

The feeling amongst Rovers fans was that this kind of bankrupt boasting had led to a self fulfilling prophecy in which Burnley fans and their Premier League era hangers on had talked themselves into their own awkward situation, to the obvious despair of the Burnley fans, although faint amusement of many Rovers fans.

Rovers fans also feel that as Burnley is a very small football club and as Blackburn Rovers has always historically been a far more successful football club than Burnley with a national and international profile befitting the historical stature of Blackburn Rovers, that the bitterness and resentment towards Rovers fans by
Burnley fans may also be more intense for these same reasons; this resentment particularly inflamed by small club jealousy of Rovers' Premier League and League cup triumphs in 1995 and 2002 respectively.

As already mentioned, Burnley fans and mobs also took beatings in Blackburn and at Ewood Park (also in Burnley and at Turf Moor) during the 60's and 70's while thereafter very rarely having the opportunity to return to Ewood Park for more than a quarter of a century; anger and bitterness at such humiliations being passed from father to son, uncle to nephew.

Both clubs moved in opposite directions during the 1980's, 1990's and 2000's, with Blackburn Rovers, despite intense media hostility and professional snobbery coupled with the jealous hatred of neutral supporters, going on to make history and achieve glory with their
Premier League triumph at the end of the 1994-1995 season; while Burnley very narrowly avoided relegation to non league football on the last day of the 1986-1987, only eight years previously.

For the long 43 year awaited top flight fixture with Burnley at Ewood Park, the Burnley fans were given half of the Darwen End, with a significant 'no-mans' land separating the two sets of fans and a very heavy police and steward presence for the protection of the Burnley
fans. The game ended without incident and a convincing 3-2 victory for Rovers, though flattering score line for Burnley.

Despite the occasional incident or perceived threat, it would now seem that any form of serious crowd trouble at this famous old footballing venue would thankfully appear to be a thing of the past.

Hear, hear my friend. I may be Blue and White, but you seem to be talking more sense than most of the people here this evening. It is a pleasure to see someone using their head, and thinking about the bigger picture. We may be from two sh*t holes in Lancashire, but at some stage we managed to contribute more to this world than most. Support Lancashire, keep the friendly banter. See you next year :-( !

I have never called for side Kean to quit but after the seeing the side he picked was idiotic, to play Pederson as a full back was unbelievable, Then he took off the only wide player on the park, the team played as though even they didn't know what position they was supposed to play. They where all over the place. they have to get rid of Kean and get someone who has even an idea of how you play football and pick a team.

If we are not officially relegated by Easter I would call that a minor miracle, and a major 'victory' for Kean.

Relegation is now a CERTAINTY. I thought I hated Burnley, but what I feel for Venky's and Kean far surpasses that hatred. I honestly can't remember feeling like this about any other human beings. I totally, and utterly DESPISE them.

Between them, they have totally DESTROYED this once proud football club. I'm actually feeling SICK as I type this. I cannot comprehend what has happened over this last twelve months, or why it has happened.

I am so ANGRY, it is almost unbearable. If I had the misfortune to come face to face with any of the Rao's, or Steve Kean, I honestly think I would spend the rest of my life in jail.

On another site, someone has posted a link to Keans post match interview. I haven't heard it, as I can't bear to listen to the incessant drivel that comes out of his mouth, or what other orifice he speaks out of. But I'd be willing to bet, that he said he would take the positives out of this game. Well I didn't see any. Such is the ignorance, arrogance, and sheer bloody stupidity of the 'man', he would look you in the eye, whilst keeping a straight face, and tell you that we still have NO CHANCE of going down! He is a total DISASTER. A born LOSER, and a habitual LIAR. And Venky's love him!
So what does that make them MORONS?

I haven't got a clue as to Venky's true intentions for this once proud, once respected football club. But i'll tell you this; they are not honourable. Whatever is going on down there, is almost certainly CRIMINAL. The truth WILL come out eventually, but by the time it does, this famous Lancashire club will be in total ruins. We may even NEVER recover.

A few weeks ago, a regular poster on here, Bazzer, referred to the Bhatti Brothers, who Bought WWFC in the eighties. I vaguely remembered them, and did a bit of research on the subject. What I discovered was frightening. It sent shivers down my spine. Without going into too much detail, Wolves went from Division One, to Division Four, and to the brink of extinction, in consecutive seasons. If you are unfamiliar with the situation, just Google it. The similarities between them, and the IDIOTS that own our club now, are startling.

Everything that is humanly possible, must be done to get rid of the PARASITES, that have attached themselves to our club, before it is too late, and there is nothing left to salvage. Make no mistake; relegation this season is nothing, compared to the carnage that awaits, if we don't rid ourselves of the cancer, that is spreading through this once proud football club.

Venky's and Steve Kean: If I had a gun, I would shoot you.

Ahmen SI

WHAT A GREAT POST.

I hope KDG, NoddyMcCleod; Li1111, Wild Rover, Haslem Haslem and any other deluded 'hater' out there read SI's post and hangs their head in utter shame.

Why are you obsessed with me? Do I pick the team or something? Did I sign the players or something, I think everyone was in agreement weeks ago about Kean being potted, so why do you keep trying to shift responsibility of blame onto me and others? Are you a nazi? a nazi trying to blame the minority and whip up a frenzy of support in your deluded world of self importance trying to give yourself an air of dominance? Trying to be the big I am, well I bet your a f@cking nothing, a f@cking no-one, an insignificant piece of dirt. I bet you are a STEVE KEAN, a shallow balless gibbering uninteresting tw@t. Thats why you keep trying to attack me and others, because we make your spineless boring existence more interesting.
Now don't bother posting a reply, I've finished with you, you worthless slug vomit
Sick of reading you trying to get everyone to gang up on me and others when we haven't even said anything except try and support the team.
Is there something wrong with trying to support your team?
Obviously in your sick twisted mind you want to torture it instead.
So p1ss off and leave me and others alone you sick f@cking loner.

===Crowd trouble at Ewood Park===

Crowd trouble at football matches are far from a modern phenomenon. Blackburn Rovers have a number of local Lancashire rivalries, due to being the most successful of all the town clubs in Lancashire and England and due to the relative proximity of numerous other town clubs
such as Bolton Wanderers, Blackpool, Burnley, Preston North End and Wigan, along with Lancashire city clubs such as Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United and Manchester City.

The local rivalry between Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End goes back over one hundred years. In 1888 Preston refused to play a match against Blackburn due to their reception by the Blackburn fans. Whether this was at Ewood Park or not is unclear as Rovers did not take up permanent residence at Ewood Park until 1890.

On Christmas Day 1890 during Rovers first season at Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers played local rivals Darwen. Rovers were due to play Wolverhampton Wandereres the following day and so fielded a weakened team. This infuriated the fans, particularly as ticket prices had been
increased for the game. When the Darwen team appeared, the fans urged them to leave the pitch, which they did, later re-emerging with their second eleven. Eventually, Blackburn and Darwen fans invaded the
pitch, pulling up the goal posts and threatening to wreck the press box. The police intervened and finally managed to control the situation.

Lancashire derbies can always be heated affairs and on 27.11.1926, during a Division 1 (Level 1) fixture Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United saw some ugly scenes of crowd trouble immediately after the final whistle was blown. Rovers player, 'our' Sid Puddefoot was seen by many Rovers fans to be lying on the ground after the final whistle. The Rovers fans believed he had been hit by a United player and began a pitch invasion. This led to a dangerous situation in which the Manchester United players were surrounded by hundreds of angry Rovers fans. The police intervened for the safety of the players and managed to clear a path to the players tunnel. However, hundreds of Rovers fans remained on the pitch and many efforts were made to attack the United players. Once inside their changing room, the United players locked the door in fear. Soon after, the police managed to disperse the crowd. Rovers won the game 2-1.

Blackburn Rovers did have an active hooligan following in the late 1960's to the mid 1970's seeing the town of Blackburn and Ewood Park develop a particularly fearsome reputation. From the mid 1960's to the
mid 1970's Rovers began to fall into decline, eventually being relegated to Division 3 (Level 3) at the end of the 1970-1971 season for the first time in their history, remaining their until promotion as Division 3 champions during their centenary year at the end of the 1974-1975 season. From the mid 1970's onwards, Ewood Park began to lose its fearsome reputation.

As early as 1963 there were reports in the national media of fighting between Blackburn and Liverpool fans at Ewood Park. From the late 1960's to the early 1970's, Blackburn's hooligan following was led mainly by Hells Angel's from Darwen. In the 1970's, skin head gangs
from the Little Harwood, Queens Park and Audley areas of Blackburn began to follow the club. During this period, there were hooligan mobs in the Darwen End, Blackburn End and Riverside terrace which occasionally resulted in serious out breaks of crowd trouble with Manchester City, Bolton Wanderers and Burnley hooligans both inside and outside Ewood Park. Blackburn is a small town and sometimes simply cannot cope with the numbers that city clubs in particular are capable of
pulling.

The National Front had a presence at Ewood Park in the 1970's and early to mid 1980's. The NF youth paper, Bulldog was also occasionally on sale outside Ewood Park. One of the things that perhaps acted as the glue that that bound together hooligan mobs/organised casual's
firms in the area was the NF. On one occasion in 1978, the target of racist abuse at Ewood Park was a Crystal Palace player Vince Hilaire, the first established black players in English football, who was given a volley of monkey chants and foul abuse coupled with National Front support which indicated that there was something more sinister taking place; in those days almost all black players got the same racist treatment at many English football grounds, Ewood Park was no exception. Alex Williams the Manchester City Goal Keeper (1985) was showered with bananas, apples, monkey chants and other racist abuse at the beginning of the second half as he ran towards the Blackburn End to take up position in City's goal. Williams was awarded the MBE in the 2002 New Years Honours list for his services to young people. A very large Union Flag with, "BLACKBURN NF" emblazoned along the middle was also highlighted on national TV news in the mid 1980's during a news report on racism at England matches. This kind of menace was certainly not uncommon at football grounds in England at
the time and Ewood Park in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s, it went with the experience of attending games at Ewood Park.

Other early influential hooligan mobs that followed Blackburn Rovers came from the Mill Hill and Higher Croft areas of Blackburn, known as the Mill Hill Mob and H Division. However, there were often battles between these two rival gangs in Blackburn town centre.

During a game against London club Queens Park Rangers, 17.09.1969 a Rovers fan ran onto the pitch from the Blackburn End and attacked the Queens Park Rangers Goal Keeper. He avoided police detection but was arrested some weeks later. Although incidences of individual fans encroaching the Ewood Park field of play and attacking or attempting to attack players, match officials or opposing fans is rare, this kind of incident has been known to happen; a fan ran on the pitch to attack
the Burnley Goal Keeper in a fixture at Ewood Park during the 1965-1966 season before being intercepted and a fan ran onto the pitch, again from the Riverside Stand to remonstrate with the referee during a 1996-1997 season fixture. However, the QPR Goal Keeper attack is interesting as it was one of the first, some believe to be the first incident in English football, were a fan ran onto the pitch and physically assaulted a player. Rovers lost the game 0-1.

An organised hooligan firm, the Blackburn Youth emerged in 1982 as Blackburn Rovers first casuals firm. As Blackburn lies in East Lancashire just north of the major Lancashire cities of Liverpool and Manchester, Blackburn has historically been strongly influenced by their causal trends in music and clothes much earlier than other
Lancashire towns. For example, to this day Rovers fans or 'scarfers' and casuals refer to Burnley fans and casuals as, "the scruffs".

Blackburn's catchment area includes Darwen, Accrington, Rishton, Great Harwood and Clitheroe and there has often been an uneasy relationship between the firms/mobs from each of these places, as well as from within the town itself. More recently this has included trouble between followers from Blackburn and Darwen and Clitheroe and Accrington; these tensions explaining Blackburn's inability to organise a consistently active hooligan firm. Also, Blackburn's neighbouring satellite towns include small firms from the so-called “bigger” clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Leeds United.

During the early 1970's this was not the case. In 1971 Burnley fans arrived early at Ewood Park for a "friendly" fixture and hurried into the Darwen End. At this time the terracing at Ewood Park was un-sectioned from the Blackburn End all the way round to the Darwen End. At half-time the fans behind the goal would sometimes exchange ends. Those standing on the Riverside, caught in the middle, were buffeted around a little when there was a big crowd, but there was not always much violence. However there were occasional bouts of madness, such as the time two supporters cleared the Blackburn End perimeter wall to attack the opposition goalkeeper.

For the 1971 "friendly" Burnley fixture, the Police forced some Rovers fans to enter the Blackburn End and then would not let them past the wall barrier next to Riverside terracing. With Rovers winning 2-0, Terry Eccles, a player who had progressed through Rovers youth ranks scoring both both goals, the Blackburn End suddenly started to empty of a large mob of fans. They climbed the wall separating the Blackburn End from the Riverside terrace and made their way along The Riverside towards the Darwen End where the Burnley were standing.

Shortly later crowd trouble broke out in the Darwen End as the Blackburn End mob entered the Darwen End along with Rovers mobs from The Riverside joining in. Fighting broke out with those Burnley fans who did not run out of the far side of the Darwen End. Eventually, the Burnley fans were routed and thrown over the wall at front of the Darwen End, which also collapsed. This incident made the front page of the Lancashire Evening Telegraph for several day.

Memories of a 15,000 strong Rovers away support taking four sides of Turf Moor during a Boxing day 1977 fixture after drinking heavily in Burnley town centre and Turf Moor pubs were also still burned in the collective memory of the Burnley support.

It was incidents like the above, coupled with Rovers results on the pitch that would lead to a near terminal decline of Burnley FC and in turn to individual and small scale acts of vindictiveness by Burnley fans at Ewood Park in the first part of the 1980's.

On 04.04.1983 during a Blackburn Rovers v Burnley Division 2 fixture, protected by the police and the recently erected perimeter fencing, two or three Burnley fans clambered onto the Darwen End roof, ripped 3
or 4 tiles off it, struggling to throw them onto the pitch and instead hitting their own supporters, huddled behind the goal. This was done in attempt to get the game abandoned. The Burnley manager came onto the pitch to address the Burnley fans in an attempt to instil some calm. A solitary Burnley fan had also taken the care to weld together two darts so that the weapon had a double-headed spike. It was smuggled into Ewood Park and hurled into the Blackburn Rovers penalty area. This particularly cowardly individual attack from the terraces
on a lone Goal Keeper came when Terry Gennoe was the goalkeeper in a Blackburn Rovers side inflicting a defeat on Burnley that would help send them down from the old Second Division and into a spiral of decline whereby they would not play Blackburn Rovers again competitively in the league for 17 years. Order was eventually restored with the game ending in a win for Blackburn Rovers; to the delight of jubilant Rovers fans thoroughly enjoying another victory of their oldest foe taking great pleasure in significantly contributing to Burnley's downfall and eventual demise that would last for more than two decades, though of course no one at the time realised just how significant that particular defeat at Ewood Park would be. Rovers won the game 2-1.

During Division 2 games (Level 2) against Chelsea (18.10.1980) which ended 1-1 and Manchester City (02.03.1985) which ended 0-1 there were brief crowd disturbances along the Riverside Stand terracing and Blackburn End terracing. During an FA Cup game involving
Chorley (classed as the home team) and Preston North End (06.12.1986) there were ugly scenes of crowd trouble when the Blackburn End erupted in violence. It is unclear exactly who was involved but the local organised casuals firm known as the Blackburn Youth were believed
to be involved; the game ended 0-0.

As football hooliganism at Ewood Park slowly went into decline from the mind 1970's onwards, the club also made efforts to defeat the problem and make Ewood Park and Blackburn Rovers more family oriented. One campaign revolved around encouraging the already passionate Rovers fans to keep up the vocal support but keep down the foul language. Blackburn Rovers also attempted to attract more of the sizeable local Asian population to Ewood Park in the 1980's with representatives of the club speaking on local radio about their desire for more Asian people to attend matches at Ewood Park. Sadly, this appears to have had little success. There was also an aggressive policing policy inside the ground which in itself could lead to minor disturbances and an iron perimeter fence was erected around the pitch in the early 1980s. From the 1990s onwards, most of the mainly partisan pubs outside Ewood Park have been strictly for home supporters only.

As already pointed out, from the mid 1970's and particularly during the 1980s Rovers fortunes slowly progressed relative to their nearest Lancashire town rivals Preston North End, Blackpool, Bolton Wanderers and Burnley, which seems to have been reflected in the behaviour of the fans both inside and outside Ewood Park. Also, the 1980s witnessed several events that were to change football as a spectator sport: the
Bradford City FireDisaster (1985); the Hysell Stadium Tragedy (1985); The Hillsborough Disaster (1989) and the Taylor Report (1989) the latter resulting in standing terracing in England being phased out, replaced by all-seater stadiums, in some cases completely new stadiums being built.

During the 1990s, the face of football stadia in England began to change and with it the type of atmosphere inside the stadia and the type spectator clubs were now attempting to attract. This meant pricing policies that deliberately out priced and alienated working-class supporters; this was done in the belief that by attracting more women, families and middle-class consumers that
football stadiums would become safer places. Setting aside the moral question of social prejudice through the deliberate policy of out pricing working-class supporters, it is not a sensible business measure for football clubs to out price working-class fans when those clubs represent working-class areas. However, there is no doubt that
these measures had some success but how much, is open to debate.

Added to these measures local Blackburn born business man and life-long Rovers fan Jack Walker bought the club in 1991 and Rovers eventually gained promotion to the Premier League during the 1991-1992 season. Ewood Park was then rebuilt between between 1993-1994, with its official reopening in 1995.

Burnley have been Blackburn Rovers rivals for much of Rovers history but some fans, particularly newer, younger fans simply ignored Burnley in the 1990's, dismissing claims that Burnley have always been seen as
Rovers main rivals. In the 2000's hostilities renewed to some extent and now many fans believe they should be seen as Rovers main rivals once more. However, some Rovers fans still believe that Burnley have not been worthy of such status since Rovers began Burnley's quarter of a century of decline the early 1980's.

There have been minor disturbances inside Ewood Park with Manchester United, Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers fans during the 1990s and 2000s but the long awaited Ewood Park fixture with Burnley, the first in the top flight of English league football for 43 years resulted in a major police operation mounted by the Lancashire constabulary similar to the kind seen in Scottish football at Glasgow Celtic v Glasgow Rangers matches; reinforcing the popular view amongst Rovers fans of Burnley as the, "Millwall of the North".

Many Burnley fans felt that the police operation put in place for the game was an over reaction as Burnley fans could only travel to the game from Turf Moor and could only travel on official transport provided by the club leaving Turf Moor at about 07:30 for a 13:00 early kick off. One example being of a Burnley fan having to leave
Ewood Park, Blackburn for Turf Moor, Burnley, travelling back to Ewood Park, Blackburn for the game, then returning to Burnley after the game before making another return journey to his home in Blackburn later
that evening. A journey of approx. twelve hours and forty miles when the supporter in question only lived a 5 minute walk from the Ewood Park.

However, the fear of serious crowd trouble was considered very real by the police. Blackburn v Burnley is the oldest derby in English football and arguably the greatest rivalry in the game. There has been a long history of crowd trouble when these two clubs have met. It is the sort of game in which passions can become so intense that not only hooligan mobs or organised casuals but fans, nick named "scarfers" by casuals, can also become involved.

Although the view amongst some Rovers fans was that though unnecessary, the police operation was an inevitable outcome of a curious combination of decades of exaggeration, half truths and Burnley folk-lore. This was the culture of the Burnley bogey-man myth; involving dare-and-do invasions of Blackburn town centre, Ewood Park and attacks upon meek Rovers fans, which can be traced back to the pubs, school yards and terraced streets of Burnley. One theory to this phenomenon is that such tales of extravagance were the consequence of Burnley followers attempting to maintain their profile and that of Burnley FC as their club plummeted to new depths of lower league mediocrity during the 1980's, which began with their defeat to Rovers during the Easter, 1983 fixture which resulted in crowd trouble inside Ewood Park.

The feeling amongst Rovers fans was that this kind of bankrupt boasting had led to a self fulfilling prophecy in which Burnley fans and their Premier League era hangers on had talked themselves into their own awkward situation, to the obvious despair of the Burnley fans, although faint amusement of many Rovers fans.

Rovers fans also feel that as Burnley is a very small football club and as Blackburn Rovers has always historically been a far more successful football club than Burnley with a national and international profile befitting the historical stature of Blackburn Rovers, that the bitterness and resentment towards Rovers fans by
Burnley fans may also be more intense for these same reasons; this resentment particularly inflamed by small club jealousy of Rovers' Premier League and League cup triumphs in 1995 and 2002 respectively.

As already mentioned, Burnley fans and mobs also took beatings in Blackburn and at Ewood Park (also in Burnley and at Turf Moor) during the 60's and 70's while thereafter very rarely having the opportunity to return to Ewood Park for more than a quarter of a century; anger and bitterness at such humiliations being passed from father to son, uncle to nephew.

Both clubs moved in opposite directions during the 1980's, 1990's and 2000's, with Blackburn Rovers, despite intense media hostility and professional snobbery coupled with the jealous hatred of neutral supporters, going on to make history and achieve glory with their
Premier League triumph at the end of the 1994-1995 season; while Burnley very narrowly avoided relegation to non league football on the last day of the 1986-1987, only eight years previously.

For the long 43 year awaited top flight fixture with Burnley at Ewood Park, the Burnley fans were given half of the Darwen End, with a significant 'no-mans' land separating the two sets of fans and a very heavy police and steward presence for the protection of the Burnley
fans. The game ended without incident and a convincing 3-2 victory for Rovers, though flattering score line for Burnley.

Despite the occasional incident or perceived threat, it would now seem that any form of serious crowd trouble at this famous old footballing venue would thankfully appear to be a thing of the past.

That's tosh Im afraid to tell you having been there that the Burnley of 1959/60 were one of the best teams this country has ever seen,much as I respect Uncle Jack your team was not produced in Blackburn and you have never had a team to match the burnley Teams of 20/21 and 1959/60.I accept the late Great Ronnie Clayton was a wonderfull player pure class I have seen him play many times,but when you think of Jimmy Mac Jimmy Adamson RIP and a hat full of house hold names Pele no less rated Alex Elder as the best fullback in the world in 62 go back in time Bob Kelly Joe Anderson Louis Page Gerry Dawson or foward Leighton James Steve Kinndon Martin Dobson It tends to make your argument that Clarets have always been second class look to be somewhat economical with the truth.Look at the amount of games in the 20s they went unbeaten it Took Arsenal nearly a century to beat the record I rest my case

The only hope for us is that there are other teams around us at the bottom of the table and we are not yet marooned. But, as many people have already identified, how do we attract a quality manager to Ewood? Clueless owners, poor bank balance and a fan base which is small and tolerant of the ignorant minority who don't know how to behave decently. At least at Sunderland we showed some fight but even that was lacking today.

Yes you're quite right the 'bad' fans have caused all this!

I do beleive not 36 hrs or so ago you were reasonably happy for him / them to be given 'more slack'. Yea why not, let's let them get on with it!

At the end of the day, all venkys have done is stick by their man, they cant be "done" for that.
They cant be "done" for only putting in 5 million, its more then the walker teust were doing.
Ok we all hate Keane, but they arnt actually doing anything wrong.
All this **** about the prem stopping them buying us!!

You Sir are a knob.
Rover for 45 years makes a good point. The fit and proper status test is not fit for purpose. Ask any pompey fan. The FA, Prem league, Football league, do not look after the welfare of Clubs. It seems all Venkys had to do was talk sh#t for a minute, probably well versed by Kentaro / Anderson. Now our club is up **** creek without a paddle. Valid questions to be asked of the fit and proper staus.

I.m sick to the pit of my guts over what these bast@rds are doing to my club,i read as fiction the recent postings suggesting criminal activity connected with Venkys/Kean etc. But i really can,t imagine any other reason for the the destruction of this once proud club or the apparent invincibility of what is without doubt the worst tactician, biggest fantasist,liar,conma

It really does feel as if the countries media and the football personalities are not interested in Keans/Venkys record since they took over.Even our local Telegraph don't seem to be interested enough to do some old fashioned investigative journalism as well as to put the questions that a vast majority of the Ewood faithful demand to know from the powers that be,and publish the questions as well as the fact that Venkys/Kean refuse to answer them if thats the case.Jesus it,s enough to make anyone paranoid.... Kean out - Venkys out .... Rovers 4eva !!!

===Crowd trouble at Ewood Park===

Crowd trouble at football matches are far from a modern phenomenon. Blackburn Rovers have a number of local Lancashire rivalries, due to being the most successful of all the town clubs in Lancashire and England and due to the relative proximity of numerous other town clubs
such as Bolton Wanderers, Blackpool, Burnley, Preston North End and Wigan, along with Lancashire city clubs such as Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United and Manchester City.

The local rivalry between Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End goes back over one hundred years. In 1888 Preston refused to play a match against Blackburn due to their reception by the Blackburn fans. Whether this was at Ewood Park or not is unclear as Rovers did not take up permanent residence at Ewood Park until 1890.

On Christmas Day 1890 during Rovers first season at Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers played local rivals Darwen. Rovers were due to play Wolverhampton Wandereres the following day and so fielded a weakened team. This infuriated the fans, particularly as ticket prices had been
increased for the game. When the Darwen team appeared, the fans urged them to leave the pitch, which they did, later re-emerging with their second eleven. Eventually, Blackburn and Darwen fans invaded the
pitch, pulling up the goal posts and threatening to wreck the press box. The police intervened and finally managed to control the situation.

Lancashire derbies can always be heated affairs and on 27.11.1926, during a Division 1 (Level 1) fixture Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United saw some ugly scenes of crowd trouble immediately after the final whistle was blown. Rovers player, 'our' Sid Puddefoot was seen by many Rovers fans to be lying on the ground after the final whistle. The Rovers fans believed he had been hit by a United player and began a pitch invasion. This led to a dangerous situation in which the Manchester United players were surrounded by hundreds of angry Rovers fans. The police intervened for the safety of the players and managed to clear a path to the players tunnel. However, hundreds of Rovers fans remained on the pitch and many efforts were made to attack the United players. Once inside their changing room, the United players locked the door in fear. Soon after, the police managed to disperse the crowd. Rovers won the game 2-1.

Blackburn Rovers did have an active hooligan following in the late 1960's to the mid 1970's seeing the town of Blackburn and Ewood Park develop a particularly fearsome reputation. From the mid 1960's to the
mid 1970's Rovers began to fall into decline, eventually being relegated to Division 3 (Level 3) at the end of the 1970-1971 season for the first time in their history, remaining their until promotion as Division 3 champions during their centenary year at the end of the 1974-1975 season. From the mid 1970's onwards, Ewood Park began to lose its fearsome reputation.

As early as 1963 there were reports in the national media of fighting between Blackburn and Liverpool fans at Ewood Park. From the late 1960's to the early 1970's, Blackburn's hooligan following was led mainly by Hells Angel's from Darwen. In the 1970's, skin head gangs
from the Little Harwood, Queens Park and Audley areas of Blackburn began to follow the club. During this period, there were hooligan mobs in the Darwen End, Blackburn End and Riverside terrace which occasionally resulted in serious out breaks of crowd trouble with Manchester City, Bolton Wanderers and Burnley hooligans both inside and outside Ewood Park. Blackburn is a small town and sometimes simply cannot cope with the numbers that city clubs in particular are capable of
pulling.

The National Front had a presence at Ewood Park in the 1970's and early to mid 1980's. The NF youth paper, Bulldog was also occasionally on sale outside Ewood Park. One of the things that perhaps acted as the glue that that bound together hooligan mobs/organised casual's
firms in the area was the NF. On one occasion in 1978, the target of racist abuse at Ewood Park was a Crystal Palace player Vince Hilaire, the first established black players in English football, who was given a volley of monkey chants and foul abuse coupled with National Front support which indicated that there was something more sinister taking place; in those days almost all black players got the same racist treatment at many English football grounds, Ewood Park was no exception. Alex Williams the Manchester City Goal Keeper (1985) was showered with bananas, apples, monkey chants and other racist abuse at the beginning of the second half as he ran towards the Blackburn End to take up position in City's goal. Williams was awarded the MBE in the 2002 New Years Honours list for his services to young people. A very large Union Flag with, "BLACKBURN NF" emblazoned along the middle was also highlighted on national TV news in the mid 1980's during a news report on racism at England matches. This kind of menace was certainly not uncommon at football grounds in England at
the time and Ewood Park in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s, it went with the experience of attending games at Ewood Park.

Other early influential hooligan mobs that followed Blackburn Rovers came from the Mill Hill and Higher Croft areas of Blackburn, known as the Mill Hill Mob and H Division. However, there were often battles between these two rival gangs in Blackburn town centre.

During a game against London club Queens Park Rangers, 17.09.1969 a Rovers fan ran onto the pitch from the Blackburn End and attacked the Queens Park Rangers Goal Keeper. He avoided police detection but was arrested some weeks later. Although incidences of individual fans encroaching the Ewood Park field of play and attacking or attempting to attack players, match officials or opposing fans is rare, this kind of incident has been known to happen; a fan ran on the pitch to attack
the Burnley Goal Keeper in a fixture at Ewood Park during the 1965-1966 season before being intercepted and a fan ran onto the pitch, again from the Riverside Stand to remonstrate with the referee during a 1996-1997 season fixture. However, the QPR Goal Keeper attack is interesting as it was one of the first, some believe to be the first incident in English football, were a fan ran onto the pitch and physically assaulted a player. Rovers lost the game 0-1.

An organised hooligan firm, the Blackburn Youth emerged in 1982 as Blackburn Rovers first casuals firm. As Blackburn lies in East Lancashire just north of the major Lancashire cities of Liverpool and Manchester, Blackburn has historically been strongly influenced by their causal trends in music and clothes much earlier than other
Lancashire towns. For example, to this day Rovers fans or 'scarfers' and casuals refer to Burnley fans and casuals as, "the scruffs".

Blackburn's catchment area includes Darwen, Accrington, Rishton, Great Harwood and Clitheroe and there has often been an uneasy relationship between the firms/mobs from each of these places, as well as from within the town itself. More recently this has included trouble between followers from Blackburn and Darwen and Clitheroe and Accrington; these tensions explaining Blackburn's inability to organise a consistently active hooligan firm. Also, Blackburn's neighbouring satellite towns include small firms from the so-called “bigger” clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Leeds United.

During the early 1970's this was not the case. In 1971 Burnley fans arrived early at Ewood Park for a "friendly" fixture and hurried into the Darwen End. At this time the terracing at Ewood Park was un-sectioned from the Blackburn End all the way round to the Darwen End. At half-time the fans behind the goal would sometimes exchange ends. Those standing on the Riverside, caught in the middle, were buffeted around a little when there was a big crowd, but there was not always much violence. However there were occasional bouts of madness, such as the time two supporters cleared the Blackburn End perimeter wall to attack the opposition goalkeeper.

For the 1971 "friendly" Burnley fixture, the Police forced some Rovers fans to enter the Blackburn End and then would not let them past the wall barrier next to Riverside terracing. With Rovers winning 2-0, Terry Eccles, a player who had progressed through Rovers youth ranks scoring both both goals, the Blackburn End suddenly started to empty of a large mob of fans. They climbed the wall separating the Blackburn End from the Riverside terrace and made their way along The Riverside towards the Darwen End where the Burnley were standing.

Shortly later crowd trouble broke out in the Darwen End as the Blackburn End mob entered the Darwen End along with Rovers mobs from The Riverside joining in. Fighting broke out with those Burnley fans who did not run out of the far side of the Darwen End. Eventually, the Burnley fans were routed and thrown over the wall at front of the Darwen End, which also collapsed. This incident made the front page of the Lancashire Evening Telegraph for several day.

Memories of a 15,000 strong Rovers away support taking four sides of Turf Moor during a Boxing day 1977 fixture after drinking heavily in Burnley town centre and Turf Moor pubs were also still burned in the collective memory of the Burnley support.

It was incidents like the above, coupled with Rovers results on the pitch that would lead to a near terminal decline of Burnley FC and in turn to individual and small scale acts of vindictiveness by Burnley fans at Ewood Park in the first part of the 1980's.

On 04.04.1983 during a Blackburn Rovers v Burnley Division 2 fixture, protected by the police and the recently erected perimeter fencing, two or three Burnley fans clambered onto the Darwen End roof, ripped 3
or 4 tiles off it, struggling to throw them onto the pitch and instead hitting their own supporters, huddled behind the goal. This was done in attempt to get the game abandoned. The Burnley manager came onto the pitch to address the Burnley fans in an attempt to instil some calm. A solitary Burnley fan had also taken the care to weld together two darts so that the weapon had a double-headed spike. It was smuggled into Ewood Park and hurled into the Blackburn Rovers penalty area. This particularly cowardly individual attack from the terraces
on a lone Goal Keeper came when Terry Gennoe was the goalkeeper in a Blackburn Rovers side inflicting a defeat on Burnley that would help send them down from the old Second Division and into a spiral of decline whereby they would not play Blackburn Rovers again competitively in the league for 17 years. Order was eventually restored with the game ending in a win for Blackburn Rovers; to the delight of jubilant Rovers fans thoroughly enjoying another victory of their oldest foe taking great pleasure in significantly contributing to Burnley's downfall and eventual demise that would last for more than two decades, though of course no one at the time realised just how significant that particular defeat at Ewood Park would be. Rovers won the game 2-1.

During Division 2 games (Level 2) against Chelsea (18.10.1980) which ended 1-1 and Manchester City (02.03.1985) which ended 0-1 there were brief crowd disturbances along the Riverside Stand terracing and Blackburn End terracing. During an FA Cup game involving
Chorley (classed as the home team) and Preston North End (06.12.1986) there were ugly scenes of crowd trouble when the Blackburn End erupted in violence. It is unclear exactly who was involved but the local organised casuals firm known as the Blackburn Youth were believed
to be involved; the game ended 0-0.

As football hooliganism at Ewood Park slowly went into decline from the mind 1970's onwards, the club also made efforts to defeat the problem and make Ewood Park and Blackburn Rovers more family oriented. One campaign revolved around encouraging the already passionate Rovers fans to keep up the vocal support but keep down the foul language. Blackburn Rovers also attempted to attract more of the sizeable local Asian population to Ewood Park in the 1980's with representatives of the club speaking on local radio about their desire for more Asian people to attend matches at Ewood Park. Sadly, this appears to have had little success. There was also an aggressive policing policy inside the ground which in itself could lead to minor disturbances and an iron perimeter fence was erected around the pitch in the early 1980s. From the 1990s onwards, most of the mainly partisan pubs outside Ewood Park have been strictly for home supporters only.

As already pointed out, from the mid 1970's and particularly during the 1980s Rovers fortunes slowly progressed relative to their nearest Lancashire town rivals Preston North End, Blackpool, Bolton Wanderers and Burnley, which seems to have been reflected in the behaviour of the fans both inside and outside Ewood Park. Also, the 1980s witnessed several events that were to change football as a spectator sport: the
Bradford City FireDisaster (1985); the Hysell Stadium Tragedy (1985); The Hillsborough Disaster (1989) and the Taylor Report (1989) the latter resulting in standing terracing in England being phased out, replaced by all-seater stadiums, in some cases completely new stadiums being built.

During the 1990s, the face of football stadia in England began to change and with it the type of atmosphere inside the stadia and the type spectator clubs were now attempting to attract. This meant pricing policies that deliberately out priced and alienated working-class supporters; this was done in the belief that by attracting more women, families and middle-class consumers that
football stadiums would become safer places. Setting aside the moral question of social prejudice through the deliberate policy of out pricing working-class supporters, it is not a sensible business measure for football clubs to out price working-class fans when those clubs represent working-class areas. However, there is no doubt that
these measures had some success but how much, is open to debate.

Added to these measures local Blackburn born business man and life-long Rovers fan Jack Walker bought the club in 1991 and Rovers eventually gained promotion to the Premier League during the 1991-1992 season. Ewood Park was then rebuilt between between 1993-1994, with its official reopening in 1995.

Burnley have been Blackburn Rovers rivals for much of Rovers history but some fans, particularly newer, younger fans simply ignored Burnley in the 1990's, dismissing claims that Burnley have always been seen as
Rovers main rivals. In the 2000's hostilities renewed to some extent and now many fans believe they should be seen as Rovers main rivals once more. However, some Rovers fans still believe that Burnley have not been worthy of such status since Rovers began Burnley's quarter of a century of decline the early 1980's.

There have been minor disturbances inside Ewood Park with Manchester United, Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers fans during the 1990s and 2000s but the long awaited Ewood Park fixture with Burnley, the first in the top flight of English league football for 43 years resulted in a major police operation mounted by the Lancashire constabulary similar to the kind seen in Scottish football at Glasgow Celtic v Glasgow Rangers matches; reinforcing the popular view amongst Rovers fans of Burnley as the, "Millwall of the North".

Many Burnley fans felt that the police operation put in place for the game was an over reaction as Burnley fans could only travel to the game from Turf Moor and could only travel on official transport provided by the club leaving Turf Moor at about 07:30 for a 13:00 early kick off. One example being of a Burnley fan having to leave
Ewood Park, Blackburn for Turf Moor, Burnley, travelling back to Ewood Park, Blackburn for the game, then returning to Burnley after the game before making another return journey to his home in Blackburn later
that evening. A journey of approx. twelve hours and forty miles when the supporter in question only lived a 5 minute walk from the Ewood Park.

However, the fear of serious crowd trouble was considered very real by the police. Blackburn v Burnley is the oldest derby in English football and arguably the greatest rivalry in the game. There has been a long history of crowd trouble when these two clubs have met. It is the sort of game in which passions can become so intense that not only hooligan mobs or organised casuals but fans, nick named "scarfers" by casuals, can also become involved.

Although the view amongst some Rovers fans was that though unnecessary, the police operation was an inevitable outcome of a curious combination of decades of exaggeration, half truths and Burnley folk-lore. This was the culture of the Burnley bogey-man myth; involving dare-and-do invasions of Blackburn town centre, Ewood Park and attacks upon meek Rovers fans, which can be traced back to the pubs, school yards and terraced streets of Burnley. One theory to this phenomenon is that such tales of extravagance were the consequence of Burnley followers attempting to maintain their profile and that of Burnley FC as their club plummeted to new depths of lower league mediocrity during the 1980's, which began with their defeat to Rovers during the Easter, 1983 fixture which resulted in crowd trouble inside Ewood Park.

The feeling amongst Rovers fans was that this kind of bankrupt boasting had led to a self fulfilling prophecy in which Burnley fans and their Premier League era hangers on had talked themselves into their own awkward situation, to the obvious despair of the Burnley fans, although faint amusement of many Rovers fans.

Rovers fans also feel that as Burnley is a very small football club and as Blackburn Rovers has always historically been a far more successful football club than Burnley with a national and international profile befitting the historical stature of Blackburn Rovers, that the bitterness and resentment towards Rovers fans by
Burnley fans may also be more intense for these same reasons; this resentment particularly inflamed by small club jealousy of Rovers' Premier League and League cup triumphs in 1995 and 2002 respectively.

As already mentioned, Burnley fans and mobs also took beatings in Blackburn and at Ewood Park (also in Burnley and at Turf Moor) during the 60's and 70's while thereafter very rarely having the opportunity to return to Ewood Park for more than a quarter of a century; anger and bitterness at such humiliations being passed from father to son, uncle to nephew.

Both clubs moved in opposite directions during the 1980's, 1990's and 2000's, with Blackburn Rovers, despite intense media hostility and professional snobbery coupled with the jealous hatred of neutral supporters, going on to make history and achieve glory with their
Premier League triumph at the end of the 1994-1995 season; while Burnley very narrowly avoided relegation to non league football on the last day of the 1986-1987, only eight years previously.

For the long 43 year awaited top flight fixture with Burnley at Ewood Park, the Burnley fans were given half of the Darwen End, with a significant 'no-mans' land separating the two sets of fans and a very heavy police and steward presence for the protection of the Burnley
fans. The game ended without incident and a convincing 3-2 victory for Rovers, though flattering score line for Burnley.

Despite the occasional incident or perceived threat, it would now seem that any form of serious crowd trouble at this famous old footballing venue would thankfully appear to be a thing of the past.

That's tosh Im afraid to tell you having been there that the Burnley of 1959/60 were one of the best teams this country has ever seen,much as I respect Uncle Jack your team was not produced in Blackburn and you have never had a team to match the burnley Teams of 20/21 and 1959/60.I accept the late Great Ronnie Clayton was a wonderfull player pure class I have seen him play many times,but when you think of Jimmy Mac Jimmy Adamson RIP and a hat full of house hold names Pele no less rated Alex Elder as the best fullback in the world in 62 go back in time Bob Kelly Joe Anderson Louis Page Gerry Dawson or foward Leighton James Steve Kinndon Martin Dobson It tends to make your argument that Clarets have always been second class look to be somewhat economical with the truth.Look at the amount of games in the 20s they went unbeaten it Took Arsenal nearly a century to beat the record I rest my case

Self gratifying garbage, i'm afraid.

Rovers Championship winning side on 1995 would have thrashed B*rnley's Championship winning side of 1960: 10-0.

Bob Crompton (b Blackburn); Bill Eckersley (b Southport); Roy Vernon (b Prestatyn); Ronnie Clayton (b Preston); Brian Douglas (b Blackburn), Derek Dougan (b Belfast); Keith Newton (Manchester); Mike England (b Holywell); Simon Garner (b Boston); Tony Parkes (b Sheffield); Alan Shearer (b Newcastle); Colin Hendry (b Keith); Brad Friedel (b Lakewood, USA)... Jack Walker (b Blackburn)...I COULD GO ON.

BRFC:
FA Cup winner 6 times; League Cup winners 1; Charity Shield 1; Full Members Cup winners 1 and Champions of England 3.

By my reckoning B*rnley have only averaged bigger attendances in 14 years out of 112.

John Lewis, BRFC founder: In 1911 Lewis was appointed FA Counsillor ansd in 1923 he became vice-president of the FA, serving in that capacity till his death in 1926.

At his passing the FA stated:

"His influence on the game at home abroad was immense and he pioneered the game of football not only throughout England and Ireland, but Europe, South Africa and Australia. A most remarkable man who left his mark in many directions and football will never see his likes again."

Blackburn Rovers are a big club in a small town. Per capita Blackburn Rovers are one of the best supported football clubs in the world.

Blackburn Rovers are the greatest and most successful town club in the history of English football and were the first giants of the English game. This has meant that per capita, Blackburn Rovers have always enjoyed staunch, passionate, popular and loyal support.

Sadly, the 1960s, 70's and 80's saw a decline in the clubs fortunes and this was reflected in the attendance figures, this happens at all football clubs and Blackburn Rovers are no exception. The 1970's and 1980's were a thin period. Crowds became smaller and the possibility of promotion back to the First Division became more remote with each passing season. From the mid-nineteen seventies onwards the club was in financial difficulties, by the early 1980's the club was threatened with extinction. A thriving army of supporters’ clubs carried the club
through these dark days, unsung and unacknowledged.

Today, the attendance Blackburn Rovers attracts to Ewood Park is the highest in proportion to town/city size in the Premier League. Blackburn is a town and only has a population of 105,085, so the attendance accounts for nearly a quarter of the town's population. Ewood Park is the 11th largest facility in capacity in the Premiership.

B*rnley just cannot compete.

===Crowd trouble at Ewood Park===

Crowd trouble at football matches are far from a modern phenomenon. Blackburn Rovers have a number of local Lancashire rivalries, due to being the most successful of all the town clubs in Lancashire and England and due to the relative proximity of numerous other town clubs
such as Bolton Wanderers, Blackpool, Burnley, Preston North End and Wigan, along with Lancashire city clubs such as Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United and Manchester City.

The local rivalry between Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End goes back over one hundred years. In 1888 Preston refused to play a match against Blackburn due to their reception by the Blackburn fans. Whether this was at Ewood Park or not is unclear as Rovers did not take up permanent residence at Ewood Park until 1890.

On Christmas Day 1890 during Rovers first season at Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers played local rivals Darwen. Rovers were due to play Wolverhampton Wandereres the following day and so fielded a weakened team. This infuriated the fans, particularly as ticket prices had been
increased for the game. When the Darwen team appeared, the fans urged them to leave the pitch, which they did, later re-emerging with their second eleven. Eventually, Blackburn and Darwen fans invaded the
pitch, pulling up the goal posts and threatening to wreck the press box. The police intervened and finally managed to control the situation.

Lancashire derbies can always be heated affairs and on 27.11.1926, during a Division 1 (Level 1) fixture Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United saw some ugly scenes of crowd trouble immediately after the final whistle was blown. Rovers player, 'our' Sid Puddefoot was seen by many Rovers fans to be lying on the ground after the final whistle. The Rovers fans believed he had been hit by a United player and began a pitch invasion. This led to a dangerous situation in which the Manchester United players were surrounded by hundreds of angry Rovers fans. The police intervened for the safety of the players and managed to clear a path to the players tunnel. However, hundreds of Rovers fans remained on the pitch and many efforts were made to attack the United players. Once inside their changing room, the United players locked the door in fear. Soon after, the police managed to disperse the crowd. Rovers won the game 2-1.

Blackburn Rovers did have an active hooligan following in the late 1960's to the mid 1970's seeing the town of Blackburn and Ewood Park develop a particularly fearsome reputation. From the mid 1960's to the
mid 1970's Rovers began to fall into decline, eventually being relegated to Division 3 (Level 3) at the end of the 1970-1971 season for the first time in their history, remaining their until promotion as Division 3 champions during their centenary year at the end of the 1974-1975 season. From the mid 1970's onwards, Ewood Park began to lose its fearsome reputation.

As early as 1963 there were reports in the national media of fighting between Blackburn and Liverpool fans at Ewood Park. From the late 1960's to the early 1970's, Blackburn's hooligan following was led mainly by Hells Angel's from Darwen. In the 1970's, skin head gangs
from the Little Harwood, Queens Park and Audley areas of Blackburn began to follow the club. During this period, there were hooligan mobs in the Darwen End, Blackburn End and Riverside terrace which occasionally resulted in serious out breaks of crowd trouble with Manchester City, Bolton Wanderers and Burnley hooligans both inside and outside Ewood Park. Blackburn is a small town and sometimes simply cannot cope with the numbers that city clubs in particular are capable of
pulling.

The National Front had a presence at Ewood Park in the 1970's and early to mid 1980's. The NF youth paper, Bulldog was also occasionally on sale outside Ewood Park. One of the things that perhaps acted as the glue that that bound together hooligan mobs/organised casual's
firms in the area was the NF. On one occasion in 1978, the target of racist abuse at Ewood Park was a Crystal Palace player Vince Hilaire, the first established black players in English football, who was given a volley of monkey chants and foul abuse coupled with National Front support which indicated that there was something more sinister taking place; in those days almost all black players got the same racist treatment at many English football grounds, Ewood Park was no exception. Alex Williams the Manchester City Goal Keeper (1985) was showered with bananas, apples, monkey chants and other racist abuse at the beginning of the second half as he ran towards the Blackburn End to take up position in City's goal. Williams was awarded the MBE in the 2002 New Years Honours list for his services to young people. A very large Union Flag with, "BLACKBURN NF" emblazoned along the middle was also highlighted on national TV news in the mid 1980's during a news report on racism at England matches. This kind of menace was certainly not uncommon at football grounds in England at
the time and Ewood Park in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s, it went with the experience of attending games at Ewood Park.

Other early influential hooligan mobs that followed Blackburn Rovers came from the Mill Hill and Higher Croft areas of Blackburn, known as the Mill Hill Mob and H Division. However, there were often battles between these two rival gangs in Blackburn town centre.

During a game against London club Queens Park Rangers, 17.09.1969 a Rovers fan ran onto the pitch from the Blackburn End and attacked the Queens Park Rangers Goal Keeper. He avoided police detection but was arrested some weeks later. Although incidences of individual fans encroaching the Ewood Park field of play and attacking or attempting to attack players, match officials or opposing fans is rare, this kind of incident has been known to happen; a fan ran on the pitch to attack
the Burnley Goal Keeper in a fixture at Ewood Park during the 1965-1966 season before being intercepted and a fan ran onto the pitch, again from the Riverside Stand to remonstrate with the referee during a 1996-1997 season fixture. However, the QPR Goal Keeper attack is interesting as it was one of the first, some believe to be the first incident in English football, were a fan ran onto the pitch and physically assaulted a player. Rovers lost the game 0-1.

An organised hooligan firm, the Blackburn Youth emerged in 1982 as Blackburn Rovers first casuals firm. As Blackburn lies in East Lancashire just north of the major Lancashire cities of Liverpool and Manchester, Blackburn has historically been strongly influenced by their causal trends in music and clothes much earlier than other
Lancashire towns. For example, to this day Rovers fans or 'scarfers' and casuals refer to Burnley fans and casuals as, "the scruffs".

Blackburn's catchment area includes Darwen, Accrington, Rishton, Great Harwood and Clitheroe and there has often been an uneasy relationship between the firms/mobs from each of these places, as well as from within the town itself. More recently this has included trouble between followers from Blackburn and Darwen and Clitheroe and Accrington; these tensions explaining Blackburn's inability to organise a consistently active hooligan firm. Also, Blackburn's neighbouring satellite towns include small firms from the so-called “bigger” clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Leeds United.

During the early 1970's this was not the case. In 1971 Burnley fans arrived early at Ewood Park for a "friendly" fixture and hurried into the Darwen End. At this time the terracing at Ewood Park was un-sectioned from the Blackburn End all the way round to the Darwen End. At half-time the fans behind the goal would sometimes exchange ends. Those standing on the Riverside, caught in the middle, were buffeted around a little when there was a big crowd, but there was not always much violence. However there were occasional bouts of madness, such as the time two supporters cleared the Blackburn End perimeter wall to attack the opposition goalkeeper.

For the 1971 "friendly" Burnley fixture, the Police forced some Rovers fans to enter the Blackburn End and then would not let them past the wall barrier next to Riverside terracing. With Rovers winning 2-0, Terry Eccles, a player who had progressed through Rovers youth ranks scoring both both goals, the Blackburn End suddenly started to empty of a large mob of fans. They climbed the wall separating the Blackburn End from the Riverside terrace and made their way along The Riverside towards the Darwen End where the Burnley were standing.

Shortly later crowd trouble broke out in the Darwen End as the Blackburn End mob entered the Darwen End along with Rovers mobs from The Riverside joining in. Fighting broke out with those Burnley fans who did not run out of the far side of the Darwen End. Eventually, the Burnley fans were routed and thrown over the wall at front of the Darwen End, which also collapsed. This incident made the front page of the Lancashire Evening Telegraph for several day.

Memories of a 15,000 strong Rovers away support taking four sides of Turf Moor during a Boxing day 1977 fixture after drinking heavily in Burnley town centre and Turf Moor pubs were also still burned in the collective memory of the Burnley support.

It was incidents like the above, coupled with Rovers results on the pitch that would lead to a near terminal decline of Burnley FC and in turn to individual and small scale acts of vindictiveness by Burnley fans at Ewood Park in the first part of the 1980's.

On 04.04.1983 during a Blackburn Rovers v Burnley Division 2 fixture, protected by the police and the recently erected perimeter fencing, two or three Burnley fans clambered onto the Darwen End roof, ripped 3
or 4 tiles off it, struggling to throw them onto the pitch and instead hitting their own supporters, huddled behind the goal. This was done in attempt to get the game abandoned. The Burnley manager came onto the pitch to address the Burnley fans in an attempt to instil some calm. A solitary Burnley fan had also taken the care to weld together two darts so that the weapon had a double-headed spike. It was smuggled into Ewood Park and hurled into the Blackburn Rovers penalty area. This particularly cowardly individual attack from the terraces
on a lone Goal Keeper came when Terry Gennoe was the goalkeeper in a Blackburn Rovers side inflicting a defeat on Burnley that would help send them down from the old Second Division and into a spiral of decline whereby they would not play Blackburn Rovers again competitively in the league for 17 years. Order was eventually restored with the game ending in a win for Blackburn Rovers; to the delight of jubilant Rovers fans thoroughly enjoying another victory of their oldest foe taking great pleasure in significantly contributing to Burnley's downfall and eventual demise that would last for more than two decades, though of course no one at the time realised just how significant that particular defeat at Ewood Park would be. Rovers won the game 2-1.

During Division 2 games (Level 2) against Chelsea (18.10.1980) which ended 1-1 and Manchester City (02.03.1985) which ended 0-1 there were brief crowd disturbances along the Riverside Stand terracing and Blackburn End terracing. During an FA Cup game involving
Chorley (classed as the home team) and Preston North End (06.12.1986) there were ugly scenes of crowd trouble when the Blackburn End erupted in violence. It is unclear exactly who was involved but the local organised casuals firm known as the Blackburn Youth were believed
to be involved; the game ended 0-0.

As football hooliganism at Ewood Park slowly went into decline from the mind 1970's onwards, the club also made efforts to defeat the problem and make Ewood Park and Blackburn Rovers more family oriented. One campaign revolved around encouraging the already passionate Rovers fans to keep up the vocal support but keep down the foul language. Blackburn Rovers also attempted to attract more of the sizeable local Asian population to Ewood Park in the 1980's with representatives of the club speaking on local radio about their desire for more Asian people to attend matches at Ewood Park. Sadly, this appears to have had little success. There was also an aggressive policing policy inside the ground which in itself could lead to minor disturbances and an iron perimeter fence was erected around the pitch in the early 1980s. From the 1990s onwards, most of the mainly partisan pubs outside Ewood Park have been strictly for home supporters only.

As already pointed out, from the mid 1970's and particularly during the 1980s Rovers fortunes slowly progressed relative to their nearest Lancashire town rivals Preston North End, Blackpool, Bolton Wanderers and Burnley, which seems to have been reflected in the behaviour of the fans both inside and outside Ewood Park. Also, the 1980s witnessed several events that were to change football as a spectator sport: the
Bradford City FireDisaster (1985); the Hysell Stadium Tragedy (1985); The Hillsborough Disaster (1989) and the Taylor Report (1989) the latter resulting in standing terracing in England being phased out, replaced by all-seater stadiums, in some cases completely new stadiums being built.

During the 1990s, the face of football stadia in England began to change and with it the type of atmosphere inside the stadia and the type spectator clubs were now attempting to attract. This meant pricing policies that deliberately out priced and alienated working-class supporters; this was done in the belief that by attracting more women, families and middle-class consumers that
football stadiums would become safer places. Setting aside the moral question of social prejudice through the deliberate policy of out pricing working-class supporters, it is not a sensible business measure for football clubs to out price working-class fans when those clubs represent working-class areas. However, there is no doubt that
these measures had some success but how much, is open to debate.

Added to these measures local Blackburn born business man and life-long Rovers fan Jack Walker bought the club in 1991 and Rovers eventually gained promotion to the Premier League during the 1991-1992 season. Ewood Park was then rebuilt between between 1993-1994, with its official reopening in 1995.

Burnley have been Blackburn Rovers rivals for much of Rovers history but some fans, particularly newer, younger fans simply ignored Burnley in the 1990's, dismissing claims that Burnley have always been seen as
Rovers main rivals. In the 2000's hostilities renewed to some extent and now many fans believe they should be seen as Rovers main rivals once more. However, some Rovers fans still believe that Burnley have not been worthy of such status since Rovers began Burnley's quarter of a century of decline the early 1980's.

There have been minor disturbances inside Ewood Park with Manchester United, Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers fans during the 1990s and 2000s but the long awaited Ewood Park fixture with Burnley, the first in the top flight of English league football for 43 years resulted in a major police operation mounted by the Lancashire constabulary similar to the kind seen in Scottish football at Glasgow Celtic v Glasgow Rangers matches; reinforcing the popular view amongst Rovers fans of Burnley as the, "Millwall of the North".

Many Burnley fans felt that the police operation put in place for the game was an over reaction as Burnley fans could only travel to the game from Turf Moor and could only travel on official transport provided by the club leaving Turf Moor at about 07:30 for a 13:00 early kick off. One example being of a Burnley fan having to leave
Ewood Park, Blackburn for Turf Moor, Burnley, travelling back to Ewood Park, Blackburn for the game, then returning to Burnley after the game before making another return journey to his home in Blackburn later
that evening. A journey of approx. twelve hours and forty miles when the supporter in question only lived a 5 minute walk from the Ewood Park.

However, the fear of serious crowd trouble was considered very real by the police. Blackburn v Burnley is the oldest derby in English football and arguably the greatest rivalry in the game. There has been a long history of crowd trouble when these two clubs have met. It is the sort of game in which passions can become so intense that not only hooligan mobs or organised casuals but fans, nick named "scarfers" by casuals, can also become involved.

Although the view amongst some Rovers fans was that though unnecessary, the police operation was an inevitable outcome of a curious combination of decades of exaggeration, half truths and Burnley folk-lore. This was the culture of the Burnley bogey-man myth; involving dare-and-do invasions of Blackburn town centre, Ewood Park and attacks upon meek Rovers fans, which can be traced back to the pubs, school yards and terraced streets of Burnley. One theory to this phenomenon is that such tales of extravagance were the consequence of Burnley followers attempting to maintain their profile and that of Burnley FC as their club plummeted to new depths of lower league mediocrity during the 1980's, which began with their defeat to Rovers during the Easter, 1983 fixture which resulted in crowd trouble inside Ewood Park.

The feeling amongst Rovers fans was that this kind of bankrupt boasting had led to a self fulfilling prophecy in which Burnley fans and their Premier League era hangers on had talked themselves into their own awkward situation, to the obvious despair of the Burnley fans, although faint amusement of many Rovers fans.

Rovers fans also feel that as Burnley is a very small football club and as Blackburn Rovers has always historically been a far more successful football club than Burnley with a national and international profile befitting the historical stature of Blackburn Rovers, that the bitterness and resentment towards Rovers fans by
Burnley fans may also be more intense for these same reasons; this resentment particularly inflamed by small club jealousy of Rovers' Premier League and League cup triumphs in 1995 and 2002 respectively.

As already mentioned, Burnley fans and mobs also took beatings in Blackburn and at Ewood Park (also in Burnley and at Turf Moor) during the 60's and 70's while thereafter very rarely having the opportunity to return to Ewood Park for more than a quarter of a century; anger and bitterness at such humiliations being passed from father to son, uncle to nephew.

Both clubs moved in opposite directions during the 1980's, 1990's and 2000's, with Blackburn Rovers, despite intense media hostility and professional snobbery coupled with the jealous hatred of neutral supporters, going on to make history and achieve glory with their
Premier League triumph at the end of the 1994-1995 season; while Burnley very narrowly avoided relegation to non league football on the last day of the 1986-1987, only eight years previously.

For the long 43 year awaited top flight fixture with Burnley at Ewood Park, the Burnley fans were given half of the Darwen End, with a significant 'no-mans' land separating the two sets of fans and a very heavy police and steward presence for the protection of the Burnley
fans. The game ended without incident and a convincing 3-2 victory for Rovers, though flattering score line for Burnley.

Despite the occasional incident or perceived threat, it would now seem that any form of serious crowd trouble at this famous old footballing venue would thankfully appear to be a thing of the past.

That's tosh Im afraid to tell you having been there that the Burnley of 1959/60 were one of the best teams this country has ever seen,much as I respect Uncle Jack your team was not produced in Blackburn and you have never had a team to match the burnley Teams of 20/21 and 1959/60.I accept the late Great Ronnie Clayton was a wonderfull player pure class I have seen him play many times,but when you think of Jimmy Mac Jimmy Adamson RIP and a hat full of house hold names Pele no less rated Alex Elder as the best fullback in the world in 62 go back in time Bob Kelly Joe Anderson Louis Page Gerry Dawson or foward Leighton James Steve Kinndon Martin Dobson It tends to make your argument that Clarets have always been second class look to be somewhat economical with the truth.Look at the amount of games in the 20s they went unbeaten it Took Arsenal nearly a century to beat the record I rest my case

Self gratifying garbage, i'm afraid.

Rovers Championship winning side on 1995 would have thrashed B*rnley's Championship winning side of 1960: 10-0.

Bob Crompton (b Blackburn); Bill Eckersley (b Southport); Roy Vernon (b Prestatyn); Ronnie Clayton (b Preston); Brian Douglas (b Blackburn), Derek Dougan (b Belfast); Keith Newton (Manchester); Mike England (b Holywell); Simon Garner (b Boston); Tony Parkes (b Sheffield); Alan Shearer (b Newcastle); Colin Hendry (b Keith); Brad Friedel (b Lakewood, USA)... Jack Walker (b Blackburn)...I COULD GO ON.

BRFC:
FA Cup winner 6 times; League Cup winners 1; Charity Shield 1; Full Members Cup winners 1 and Champions of England 3.

By my reckoning B*rnley have only averaged bigger attendances in 14 years out of 112.

John Lewis, BRFC founder: In 1911 Lewis was appointed FA Counsillor ansd in 1923 he became vice-president of the FA, serving in that capacity till his death in 1926.

At his passing the FA stated:

"His influence on the game at home abroad was immense and he pioneered the game of football not only throughout England and Ireland, but Europe, South Africa and Australia. A most remarkable man who left his mark in many directions and football will never see his likes again."

Blackburn Rovers are a big club in a small town. Per capita Blackburn Rovers are one of the best supported football clubs in the world.

Blackburn Rovers are the greatest and most successful town club in the history of English football and were the first giants of the English game. This has meant that per capita, Blackburn Rovers have always enjoyed staunch, passionate, popular and loyal support.

Sadly, the 1960s, 70's and 80's saw a decline in the clubs fortunes and this was reflected in the attendance figures, this happens at all football clubs and Blackburn Rovers are no exception. The 1970's and 1980's were a thin period. Crowds became smaller and the possibility of promotion back to the First Division became more remote with each passing season. From the mid-nineteen seventies onwards the club was in financial difficulties, by the early 1980's the club was threatened with extinction. A thriving army of supporters’ clubs carried the club
through these dark days, unsung and unacknowledged.

Today, the attendance Blackburn Rovers attracts to Ewood Park is the highest in proportion to town/city size in the Premier League. Blackburn is a town and only has a population of 105,085, so the attendance accounts for nearly a quarter of the town's population. Ewood Park is the 11th largest facility in capacity in the Premiership.

B*rnley just cannot compete.

RUBBISH I SAW BOTH TEAMS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE NO TEAM THAT WOULD HAVE MATCHED THEM YOU WILL FIND THAT FOR A TOWN OF ITS SIZE BURNLEY IS STILL THE BEST SUPPORTED CLUB IN THE LAND BY RATIO DO YOU HONESTLY THINK YOU COULD HAVE DELT WITH OUR 59/60 SIDE YOU ARE DREAMING IM SORRY TO SAY YOU WILL BE RELIGATED THIS SEASON ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME FRIEDEL WAS IN COLIN Mc DONALDS LEAGUE DON'T BE STUPID

===Crowd trouble at Ewood Park===

Crowd trouble at football matches are far from a modern phenomenon. Blackburn Rovers have a number of local Lancashire rivalries, due to being the most successful of all the town clubs in Lancashire and England and due to the relative proximity of numerous other town clubs
such as Bolton Wanderers, Blackpool, Burnley, Preston North End and Wigan, along with Lancashire city clubs such as Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United and Manchester City.

The local rivalry between Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End goes back over one hundred years. In 1888 Preston refused to play a match against Blackburn due to their reception by the Blackburn fans. Whether this was at Ewood Park or not is unclear as Rovers did not take up permanent residence at Ewood Park until 1890.

On Christmas Day 1890 during Rovers first season at Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers played local rivals Darwen. Rovers were due to play Wolverhampton Wandereres the following day and so fielded a weakened team. This infuriated the fans, particularly as ticket prices had been

pitch, pulling up the goal posts and threatening to wreck the press box. The police intervened and finally managed to control the situation.

Lancashire derbies can always be heated affairs and on 27.11.1926, during a Division 1 (Level 1) fixture Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United saw some ugly scenes of crowd trouble immediately after the final whistle was blown. Rovers player, 'our' Sid Puddefoot was seen by many Rovers fans to be lying on the ground after the final whistle. The Rovers fans believed he had been hit by a United player and began a pitch invasion. This led to a dangerous situation in which the Manchester United players were surrounded by hundreds of angry Rovers fans. The police intervened for the safety of the players and managed to clear a path to the players tunnel. However, hundreds of Rovers fans remained on the pitch and many efforts were made to attack the United players. Once inside their changing room, the United players locked the door in fear.

From the mid 1970's onwards, Ewood Park began to lose its fearsome reputation.

As early as 1963 there were reports in the national media of fighting between Blackburn and Liverpool fans at Ewood Park. From the late 1960's to the early 1970's, Blackburn's hooligan following was led mainly by Hells Angel's from Darwen. In the 1970's, skin head gangs
from the Little Harwood, Queens Park and Audley areas of Blackburn began to follow the club. During this period, there were hooligan mobs in the Darwen End, Blackburn End and Riverside terrace which occasionally resulted in serious out breaks of crowd trouble with Manchester City, Bolton Wanderers and Burnley hooligans both inside and outside Ewood Park. Blackburn is a small town and sometimes simply cannot cope with the numbers that city clubs in particular are capable of

Alex Williams the Manchester City Goal Keeper (1985) was showered with bananas, apples, monkey chants and other racist abuse at the beginning of the second half as he ran towards the Blackburn End to take up position in City's goal.

Eventually, the Burnley fans were routed and thrown over the wall at front of the Darwen End, which also collapsed. This incident made the front page of the Lancashire Evening Telegraph for several day.

Memories of a 15,000 strong Rovers away support taking four sides of Turf Moor during a Boxing day 1977 fixture after drinking heavily in Burnley town centre and Turf Moor pubs were also still burned in the collective memory of the Burnley support.

It was incidents like the above, coupled with Rovers results on the pitch that would lead to a near terminal decline of Burnley FC and in turn to individual and small scale acts of vindictiveness by Burnley fans at Ewood Park in the first part of the 1980's.

On 04.04.1983 during a Blackburn Rovers v Burnley Division 2 fixture, protected by the police and the recently erected perimeter fencing, two or three Burnley fans clambered onto the Darwen End roof, ripped 3
or 4 tiles off it, struggling to throw them onto the pitch and instead hitting their own supporters, huddled behind the goal. This was done in attempt to get the game abandoned. The Burnley manager came onto the pitch to address the Burnley fans in an attempt to instil some calm. A solitary Burnley fan had also taken the care to weld together two darts so that the weapon had a double-headed spike. It was smuggled into Ewood Park and hurled into the Blackburn Rovers penalty area. This particularly cowardly individual attack from the terraces
on a lone Goal Keeper came when Terry Gennoe was the goalkeeper in a Blackburn Rovers side inflicting a defeat on Burnley that would help send them down from the old Second Division and into a spiral of decline whereby they would not play Blackburn Rovers again competitively in the league for 17 years. Order was eventually restored with the game ending in a win for Blackburn Rovers; to the delight of jubilant Rovers fans thoroughly enjoying another victory of their oldest foe taking great pleasure in significantly contributing to Burnley's downfall and eventual demise that would last for more than two decades, though of course no one at the time realised just how significant that particular defeat at Ewood Park would be. Rovers won the game 2-1.

During Division 2 games (Level 2) against Chelsea (18.10.1980) which ended 1-1 and Manchester City (02.03.1985) which ended 0-1 there were brief crowd disturbances along the Riverside Stand terracing and Blackburn End terracing. During an FA Cup game involving
Chorley (classed as the home team) and Preston North End (06.12.1986) there were ugly scenes of crowd trouble when the Blackburn End erupted in violence. It is unclear exactly who was involved but the local organised casuals firm known as the Blackburn Youth were believed
to be involved; the game ended 0-0.

As football hooliganism at Ewood Park slowly went into decline from the mind 1970's onwards, the club also made efforts to defeat the problem and make Ewood Park and Blackburn Rovers more family oriented. One campaign revolved around encouraging the already passionate Rovers fans to keep up the vocal support but keep down the foul language. Blackburn Rovers also attempted to attract more of the sizeable local Asian population to Ewood Park in the 1980's with representatives of the club speaking on local radio about their desire for more Asian people to attend matches at Ewood Park. Sadly, this appears to have had little success. There was also an aggressive policing policy inside the ground which in itself could lead to minor disturbances and an iron perimeter fence was erected around the pitch in the early 1980s. From the 1990s onwards, most of the mainly partisan pubs outside Ewood Park have been strictly for home supporters only.

As already pointed out, from the mid 1970's and particularly during the 1980s Rovers fortunes slowly progressed relative to their nearest Lancashire town rivals Preston North End, Blackpool, Bolton Wanderers and Burnley, which seems to have been reflected in the behaviour of the fans both inside and outside Ewood Park. Also, the 1980s witnessed several events that were to change football as a spectator sport: the
Bradford City FireDisaster (1985); the Hysell Stadium Tragedy (1985); The Hillsborough Disaster (1989) and the Taylor Report (1989) the latter resulting in standing terracing in England being phased out, replaced by all-seater stadiums, in some cases completely new stadiums being built.

During the 1990s, the face of football stadia in England began to change and with it the type of atmosphere inside the stadia and the type spectator clubs were now attempting to attract. This meant pricing policies that deliberately out priced and alienated working-class supporters; this was done in the belief that by attracting more women, families and middle-class consumers that
football stadiums would become safer places. Setting aside the moral question of social prejudice through the deliberate policy of out pricing working-class supporters, it is not a sensible business measure for football clubs to out price working-class fans when those clubs represent working-class areas. However, there is no doubt that
these measures had some success but how much, is open to debate.

Added to these measures local Blackburn born business man and life-long Rovers fan Jack Walker bought the club in 1991 and Rovers eventually gained promotion to the Premier League during the 1991-1992 season. Ewood Park was then rebuilt between between 1993-1994, with its official reopening in 1995.

Burnley have been Blackburn Rovers rivals for much of Rovers history but some fans, particularly newer, younger fans simply ignored Burnley in the 1990's, dismissing claims that Burnley have always been seen as
Rovers main rivals. In the 2000's hostilities renewed to some extent and now many fans believe they should be seen as Rovers main rivals once more. However, some Rovers fans still believe that Burnley have not been worthy of such status since Rovers began Burnley's quarter of a century of decline the early 1980's.

There have been minor disturbances inside Ewood Park with Manchester United, Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers fans during the 1990s and 2000s but the long awaited Ewood Park fixture with Burnley, the first in the top flight of English league football for 43 years resulted in a major police operation mounted by the Lancashire constabulary similar to the kind seen in Scottish football at Glasgow Celtic v Glasgow Rangers matches; reinforcing the popular view amongst Rovers fans of Burnley as the, "Millwall of the North".

Many Burnley fans felt that the police operation put in place for the game was an over reaction as Burnley fans could only travel to the game from Turf Moor and could only travel on official transport provided by the club leaving Turf Moor at about 07:30 for a 13:00 early kick off. One example being of a Burnley fan having to leave
Ewood Park, Blackburn for Turf Moor, Burnley, travelling back to Ewood Park, Blackburn for the game, then returning to Burnley after the game before making another return journey to his home in Blackburn later
that evening. A journey of approx. twelve hours and forty miles when the supporter in question only lived a 5 minute walk from the Ewood Park.

However, the fear of serious crowd trouble was considered very real by the police. Blackburn v Burnley is the oldest derby in English football and arguably the greatest rivalry in the game. There has been a long history of crowd trouble when these two clubs have met. It is the sort of game in which passions can become so intense that not only hooligan mobs or organised casuals but fans, nick named "scarfers" by casuals, can also become involved.

Although the view amongst some Rovers fans was that though unnecessary, the police operation was an inevitable outcome of a curious combination of decades of exaggeration, half truths and Burnley folk-lore. This was the culture of the Burnley bogey-man myth; involving dare-and-do invasions of Blackburn town centre, Ewood Park and attacks upon meek Rovers fans, which can be traced back to the pubs, school yards and terraced streets of Burnley. One theory to this phenomenon is that such tales of extravagance were the consequence of Burnley followers attempting to maintain their profile and that of Burnley FC as their club plummeted to new depths of lower league mediocrity during the 1980's, which began with their defeat to Rovers during the Easter, 1983 fixture which resulted in crowd trouble inside Ewood Park.

The feeling amongst Rovers fans was that this kind of bankrupt boasting had led to a self fulfilling prophecy in which Burnley fans and their Premier League era hangers on had talked themselves into their own awkward situation, to the obvious despair of the Burnley fans, although faint amusement of many Rovers fans.

Rovers fans also feel that as Burnley is a very small football club and as Blackburn Rovers has always historically been a far more successful football club than Burnley with a national and international profile befitting the historical stature of Blackburn Rovers, that the bitterness and resentment towards Rovers fans by
Burnley fans may also be more intense for these same reasons; this resentment particularly inflamed by small club jealousy of Rovers' Premier League and League cup triumphs in 1995 and 2002 respectively.

As already mentioned, Burnley fans and mobs also took beatings in Blackburn and at Ewood Park (also in Burnley and at Turf Moor) during the 60's and 70's while thereafter very rarely having the opportunity to return to Ewood Park for more than a quarter of a century; anger and bitterness at such humiliations being passed from father to son, uncle to nephew.

Both clubs moved in opposite directions during the 1980's, 1990's and 2000's, with Blackburn Rovers, despite intense media hostility and professional snobbery coupled with the jealous hatred of neutral supporters, going on to make history and achieve glory with their
Premier League triumph at the end of the 1994-1995 season; while Burnley very narrowly avoided relegation to non league football on the last day of the 1986-1987, only eight years previously.

For the long 43 year awaited top flight fixture with Burnley at Ewood Park, the Burnley fans were given half of the Darwen End, with a significant 'no-mans' land separating the two sets of fans and a very heavy police and steward presence for the protection of the Burnley
fans. The game ended without incident and a convincing 3-2 victory for Rovers, though flattering score line for Burnley.

Despite the occasional incident or perceived threat, it would now seem that any form of serious crowd trouble at this famous old footballing venue would thankfully appear to be a thing of the past.

That's tosh Im afraid to tell you having been there that the Burnley of 1959/60 were one of the best teams this country has ever seen,much as I respect Uncle Jack your team was not produced in Blackburn and you have never had a team to match the burnley Teams of 20/21 and 1959/60.I accept the late Great Ronnie Clayton was a wonderfull player pure class I have seen him play many times,but when you think of Jimmy Mac Jimmy Adamson RIP and a hat full of house hold names Pele no less rated Alex Elder as the best fullback in the world in 62 go back in time Bob Kelly Joe Anderson Louis Page Gerry Dawson or foward Leighton James Steve Kinndon Martin Dobson It tends to make your argument that Clarets have always been second class look to be somewhat economical with the truth.Look at the amount of games in the 20s they went unbeaten it Took Arsenal nearly a century to beat the record I rest my case

Self gratifying garbage, i'm afraid.

Rovers Championship winning side on 1995 would have thrashed B*rnley's Championship winning side of 1960: 10-0.

Bob Crompton (b Blackburn); Bill Eckersley (b Southport); Roy Vernon (b Prestatyn); Ronnie Clayton (b Preston); Brian Douglas (b Blackburn), Derek Dougan (b Belfast); Keith Newton (Manchester); Mike England (b Holywell); Simon Garner (b Boston); Tony Parkes (b Sheffield); Alan Shearer (b Newcastle); Colin Hendry (b Keith); Brad Friedel (b Lakewood, USA)... Jack Walker (b Blackburn)...I COULD GO ON.

BRFC:
FA Cup winner 6 times; League Cup winners 1; Charity Shield 1; Full Members Cup winners 1 and Champions of England 3.

By my reckoning B*rnley have only averaged bigger attendances in 14 years out of 112.

John Lewis, BRFC founder: In 1911 Lewis was appointed FA Counsillor ansd in 1923 he became vice-president of the FA, serving in that capacity till his death in 1926.

At his passing the FA stated:

"His influence on the game at home abroad was immense and he pioneered the game of football not only throughout England and Ireland, but Europe, South Africa and Australia. A most remarkable man who left his mark in many directions and football will never see his likes again."

Blackburn Rovers are a big club in a small town. Per capita Blackburn Rovers are one of the best supported football clubs in the world.

Blackburn Rovers are the greatest and most successful town club in the history of English football and were the first giants of the English game. This has meant that per capita, Blackburn Rovers have always enjoyed staunch, passionate, popular and loyal support.

Sadly, the 1960s, 70's and 80's saw a decline in the clubs fortunes and this was reflected in the attendance figures, this happens at all football clubs and Blackburn Rovers are no exception. The 1970's and 1980's were a thin period. Crowds became smaller and the possibility of promotion back to the First Division became more remote with each passing season. From the mid-nineteen seventies onwards the club was in financial difficulties, by the early 1980's the club was threatened with extinction. A thriving army of supporters’ clubs carried the club
through these dark days, unsung and unacknowledged.

Today, the attendance Blackburn Rovers attracts to Ewood Park is the highest in proportion to town/city size in the Premier League. Blackburn is a town and only has a population of 105,085, so the attendance accounts for nearly a quarter of the town's population. Ewood Park is the 11th largest facility in capacity in the Premiership.

B*rnley just cannot compete.

RUBBISH I SAW BOTH TEAMS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE NO TEAM THAT WOULD HAVE MATCHED THEM YOU WILL FIND THAT FOR A TOWN OF ITS SIZE BURNLEY IS STILL THE BEST SUPPORTED CLUB IN THE LAND BY RATIO DO YOU HONESTLY THINK YOU COULD HAVE DELT WITH OUR 59/60 SIDE YOU ARE DREAMING IM SORRY TO SAY YOU WILL BE RELIGATED THIS SEASON ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME FRIEDEL WAS IN COLIN Mc DONALDS LEAGUE DON'T BE STUPID

Ewood -be-happy. You are sore that your beloved drovers cant pluck a chicken or even win a game. Your loosers lets face it.You call us at Burnley but at least we can make a win.

Maybe it is best to brush up on your history. Its a while since you won anything and the way things are going, it will be all you'll have left.
They do say that when things aren't going well and the future's bleak, one tends to look back searching for something to cling on to.

Is there something wrong with trying to support your team?
Obviously in your sick twisted mind you want to torture it instead.
So p1ss off and leave me and others alone you sick f@cking loner.

He had a go at you because you campaigned to oust Big Sam.. Now look where Rovers are going and look where West Ham are going. This time next year Big Sam will be a Premier League manager again, we will be supporting a team possibly on the edge of extinction in the lower half of the Championship. Hope you and your "chums" are happy with your efforts to ruin our club.

Your exactly correct how anyone could sack Fat Sam and replace him with kean is beyond reason,id phone Accy and see if you can get their Gaffer Colly's a real Manager what are these C$$U$$N&&T**S doing I don't hate Rovers why do you want to hate The Clarets what the hells wrong with your generation BANTER YES Hate=STUPIDITY

Christ, is the bumbling buffoon still here ??

Most reports saying Venkys are giving him the Bolton game as well.

Are these people BEYOND STUPID ??
- don't they realise that every day he stays just makes it more likely we will be relegated ??

Don't they realise that it is completely irrelevant whether we beat Bolton or not because Kean will NEVER make it as a manager, let alone one in the premiership !!

Burnleyglentoran has just posted that it is worth Rovers winning on Tues just so Rovers keep Kean - and from their point of view he is totally right.

Best result for Rovers fans is for Tuesday game to get postponed then the idiot has to get a result at Liverpool and Man U and we save the "winnable" Bolton game for later in the season when we have someone who you could, even remotely call "the boss" in charge.

Venkys - ACTION THIS DAY -
.
1) Kean wants his pay off - give it him and get shut even though he does not deserve a penny. Please accept there is NO WAY back for him ever with Rovers fans now.
.
2) Put Ryan Nelsen in caretaker charge for Tuesday night with Tony Parkes as his advisor. We need to win these 3 points against Bolton to give the new manager a chance.
.
3) Draw up a very fast short-list of new managers today and approach them in a professional manner with a business plan. They need to be in place in the next 10 days with funds available for January.
.
4) If your absence from Ewood is because you are in negotiations for selling to the Arabs then do it now so that they can take the above action instead. Or take it with their approval for the good of this club you are damaging at present.
.
5) But most of all - KEAN OUT by tonight to give everyone a lift. The crowd will be totally behind the team on Tuesday if Kean is gone.
.
6) The new manager must have the "CV" that Kean never had. Look at the records of the likes of Mark Hughes, Rafael Benitez, Paul Lambert, Graham Souness or perhaps even Shearer and Newell as a partnership.
.
7) BUT ACT NOW VENKYS!
.
33rd Year And still Counting you Sad Dingles!

Think you've got the wrong person, I never campaigned for anything. When big sam was sacked I said it was the wrong decision to do it at that time. If they'd have kept him I would have carried on as always. I must admit I hated big sam football but, there is a big difference between campaigning for his sacking and agreeing with it when it happened. At the time I said they should have waited until the close season.
Others have said on here also, at the time we didn't know they were going to promote the line painter, we were expecting someone like hughes or o'neil so why do you guys continually cry over spilt milk? Sam has gone and he aint coming back, ever.
You never know when they sack Kean the may promote the hot dog seller, or worse still, they may even send one of the brothers to play a bit of fanatasy football.
And at what stage do me and my chums possibly have any say with what goes on at the club, I didn't know I had such power. Maybe I'll start running the first team myself.
Get a grip lad everything is Venky's fault, thats where the blame falls. But if it makes you feel better, you keep blaming those who you can have dialogue with then carry on.

Do the decent thing Kean & resign allowing for some other manager to attempt at rescuing the situation. Gutted

I'm currently sat in the blues bar and not one person here looks even slightly devastated that we lost at home to west brom. Ridiculous pal.

you must have been looking at
Ivandobsky and his posse

Dunn....an unfit over the hill liability......Peder
sen as left back?.....can Nzonzi pass the ball forward, I think not.....back passes, square balls.....to you to me....more like the Chuckle Brothers than a Premier league side.....it says something when Roberts posed more of a threat than any other Rovers player.

37 games
7 wins
11 draws
19 loses
Win % = 19%
Points = 32 with 1 game to play for a full season.
.
Kean Out - pay him off or assasinate him - I don't care which!
.
33rd Year And STILL counting you sad Dingles - oh how it hurts oh how it hurts you!

The sad thing is that if we beat Bolton this will keep Kean his job!
Absolutely shocking!!!

Careful Morst, the Old Bill monitors these sites!

Venky's have reduced the overdraft, given your manager money to spend in the summer transfer window and yet you still moan. The man deserves at least a full season in charge to see you through this transitional period. It takes time to get everybody playing your way.

It's about time the silent majority spoke out against these morons who continue to protest, especially when their previous protests have never taken the club forward. Its about time they shut up and let those who know what they are doing get on with it. Venky's and Steve Keane have my full support. You won't find me protesting, kicking the bloke while he's down.
Take Owen Coyle for instance, another bloke under a bit of pressure to turn things around, I wish him all the very best of luck in his next game. These managers need all our support!

We are already goosed. Even if we win that match, do we want Kean to remain? We may get the odd win, but the team today looked like championship fodder. Venkys obviously do not care for BRFC as we do. Lets fight for what we have all cared for over the years. We have had our ups and downs, but this has to be our biggest challenge. The very existence of BRFC as we know it is being ruined by 5 clowns. No more apathy. Please all join the call for change. 100% BRFC

I honestly can't remember feeling like this about any other human beings. I totally, and utterly DESPISE them. Between them, they have totally DESTROYED this once proud football club. I'm actually feeling SICK as I type this. I cannot comprehend what has happened over this last twelve months, or why it has happened. I am so ANGRY, it is almost unbearable. If I had the misfortune to come face to face with any of the Rao's, or Steve Kean, I honestly think I would spend the rest of my life in jail. On another site, someone has posted a link to Keans post match interview. I haven't heard it, as I can't bear to listen to the incessant drivel that comes out of his mouth, or what other orifice he speaks out of. But I'd be willing to bet, that he said he would take the positives out of this game. Well I didn't see any. Such is the ignorance, arrogance, and sheer bloody stupidity of the 'man', he would look you in the eye, whilst keeping a straight face, and tell you that we still have NO CHANCE of going down! He is a total DISASTER. A born LOSER, and a habitual LIAR. And Venky's love him! So what does that make them MORONS? I haven't got a clue as to Venky's true intentions for this once proud, once respected football club. But i'll tell you this; they are not honourable. Whatever is going on down there, is almost certainly CRIMINAL. The truth WILL come out eventually, but by the time it does, this famous Lancashire club will be in total ruins. We may even NEVER recover. A few weeks ago, a regular poster on here, Bazzer, referred to the Bhatti Brothers, who Bought WWFC in the eighties. I vaguely remembered them, and did a bit of research on the subject. What I discovered was frightening. It sent shivers down my spine. Without going into too much detail, Wolves went from Division One, to Division Four, and to the brink of extinction, in consecutive seasons. If you are unfamiliar with the situation, just Google it. The similarities between them, and the IDIOTS that own our club now, are startling. Everything that is humanly possible, must be done to get rid of the PARASITES, that have attached themselves to our club, before it is too late, and there is nothing left to salvage. Make no mistake; relegation this season is nothing, compared to the carnage that awaits, if we don't rid ourselves of the cancer, that is spreading through this once proud football club. Venky's and Steve Kean: If I had a gun, I would shoot you.

Ahmen SI

WHAT A GREAT POST. I hope KDG, NoddyMcCleod; Li1111, Wild Rover, Haslem Haslem and any other deluded 'hater' out there read SI's post and hangs their head in utter shame.

Why are you obsessed with me? Do I pick the team or something? Did I sign the players or something, I think everyone was in agreement weeks ago about Kean being potted, so why do you keep trying to shift responsibility of blame onto me and others? Are you a nazi? a nazi trying to blame the minority and whip up a frenzy of support in your deluded world of self importance trying to give yourself an air of dominance? Trying to be the big I am, well I bet your a f@cking nothing, a f@cking no-one, an insignificant piece of dirt. I bet you are a STEVE KEAN, a shallow balless gibbering uninteresting tw@t. Thats why you keep trying to attack me and others, because we make your spineless boring existence more interesting. Now don't bother posting a reply, I've finished with you, you worthless slug vomit Sick of reading you trying to get everyone to gang up on me and others when we haven't even said anything except try and support the team. Is there something wrong with trying to support your team? Obviously in your sick twisted mind you want to torture it instead. So p1ss off and leave me and others alone you sick f@cking loner.

He had a go at you because you campaigned to oust Big Sam.. Now look where Rovers are going and look where West Ham are going. This time next year Big Sam will be a Premier League manager again, we will be supporting a team possibly on the edge of extinction in the lower half of the Championship. Hope you and your "chums" are happy with your efforts to ruin our club.

Think you've got the wrong person, I never campaigned for anything. When big sam was sacked I said it was the wrong decision to do it at that time. If they'd have kept him I would have carried on as always. I must admit I hated big sam football but, there is a big difference between campaigning for his sacking and agreeing with it when it happened. At the time I said they should have waited until the close season. Others have said on here also, at the time we didn't know they were going to promote the line painter, we were expecting someone like hughes or o'neil so why do you guys continually cry over spilt milk? Sam has gone and he aint coming back, ever. You never know when they sack Kean the may promote the hot dog seller, or worse still, they may even send one of the brothers to play a bit of fanatasy football. And at what stage do me and my chums possibly have any say with what goes on at the club, I didn't know I had such power. Maybe I'll start running the first team myself. Get a grip lad everything is Venky's fault, thats where the blame falls. But if it makes you feel better, you keep blaming those who you can have dialogue with then carry on.

Merry Christmas Little Dick.

We are probably doomed after the last couple of results. We need to rebuild the squad, starting with the manager. No effort should be spared to be rid of him. A clear out is also needed as the current squad is clearly not good enough. Dunn, Formica, Rochina, Vukcevic add nothing, get them out and rebuild for the probable promotion push of next year. 80% chance of relegation now.

You could hardly blame venky for not attending games down at the fleapit,Maybe when deadwood is closed down and made into a 'cricket ground' They will bother to turn up, I may even bob down myself. I like to watch a game of cricket,

Well done WBA Boing boing boing
Up the baggies

God save the kean...

Anyone want a treble ticket for Tuesday, mines going absolutely free.

I cannot go down whilst this manager and these non-existent owners are in charge.

I went down yesterday and the atmosphere was terrible, the players did not have a clue.

When Dunn got injured for three minutes two players went over for a drink on the touch line and Kean did not say a word to either of them, please please please put us all out of our misery and get the shambles sorted, we are the laughing stock of the football world.

SHAME ON YOU VENKYS

SHAME ON YOU KEAN

SHAME ON YOU LET, YOUR INVESTIGATIONS AND DELVING INTO BRFC THIS LAST TWELVE MONTHS HAS BEEN AMATEURSIH AT BEST.

As I have said before when you see this Motley crew of names whom a team as to be selected the mind boggles,and right away I despair, I mean Pedersons gone from wide player(winger) to midfield to full back what's next goalkeeper,why does he not play the full backs he bought.Salgado is saying in one tabloid that he is going because they can't afford is wages!.A reporter in the Mirror called Ian Winwood writes in his article Blah,blah Despite my personal dislike of Blackburn Rovers I find myself warming to Steve Kean blah blah what has this guy got on everybody,even Roy Hodgson is saying he should be given more time,like he was at Liverpool not.The Bolton result is immaterial now even if we win we are still in the mix and that's Keans winnable games over and no more points from the next lot of games coming up.Why doesn't the L.E.T.ask kean outright is he in any way a shareholder,I know the answer would be hard to believe but worth a try maybe

I can only conclude that the majority are still behind him-WHY?????????????

I can take getting beat, but getting beat without a fight is not acceptable.

Before its too late!

Some of us knew shortly after Venky's bought the club, but couldn't rouse the rest of the fans to remove their blinkers, get their heads out of their arses and stop waffling on about 'get behind the team'.
VENKY's are the problem. VENKY's have killed our club. Once Venky's decide to remove this ineffectual manager what then? What decent manager will want to be associated with Venky's and unfortunately Blackburn Rovers? While Venky's own our club they will never see success. If only the fans had been united about how useless Venky's really were before it became too late......idiots. VENKY's OUT!!!!!!!

You bstrds will beat bolton tomorrow. Whether its the last game you win this season who knows? Coyle is turning out to be a worse manager than Keane.
You will go above wigan on goal difference and will be only one point from wolves and sunderland. Sunderland will begin to pull away once o'neil has had a few weeks with the squad and the money he'll have to spend in jan.
Wolves are the ones who'll go down with bolton. Its you or wigan to join 'em.
