Blackburn Rovers win Modeste appeal
2:14pm Wednesday 11th April 2012 in Sport
BLACKBURN Rovers have won their appeal against Anthony Modeste's red card at West Bromwich Albion.
Modeste was sent off for violent conduct on Saturday and was ruled out of last night's defeat to Liverpool as he started a three-match ban, with an appeal not able to be heard until today.
But that appeal has now been successful and the striker will be available for the weekend trip to Swansea City.

Like sports shoes. In the UK they are called 'Trainers' as they are worn when you are training.
In Ireland they are called 'Runners' as they are worn when you are running.
And in America, they are called 'Sneakers' for when you are sneaking to the fridge.

The last full season in the Walkers trust control the average attendance was 23,479
The first full year in Venkeys control the average attendance was 25,000
This season the average attendance is 22,301 which is a 5,413 fall in attendance from 1996.
I predict next season depending on which division we are playing in….20,000 in the PL big teams will always boost the gate…….14,000 if in the championship…alarm
ing but inevitable.

My point is this why was the hearing delayed until after the Liverpool game? Man U played QPR on Sunday the day after we played....well were beaten by West Brom. Shaun Derry's appeal was heard yesterday ahead of their game tonight, so where is the logic here??
Or did we not put in the appeal until it was too late....it must be an administrative error on the part of BRFC because the Premier League would surely not put our appeal behind the Derry appeal.
To me it is another example of a poorly run club from top to bottom.
That said he is little more than useless, along with Goodwillie et al. Thankfully Yak and Junior have kept fit.

Well, only two (maybe three) defeats away from the final conclusion to the season and no more of the old & pointless clichés coming from conman Kean and Dunn (what was that all about "we have to stick together".....well they certainly did that v Liverpool ....because the marking and Dunn,s performance was very much lacking & Sunday pub team football standard at best....and that would be after a heavy night on the booze !!!).
Do the club really deserve your monies for next season tickets after the lack of
leadership from the top down to team manager and on the field performances PLUS the lack of respect re the long-standing concerns of the supporters and sponsors.
I think NOT ....

n not if we are relegated, it should be a free for all for every fan to express themselves in what ever way they want protests, pitch invasion etc, and last but not least not renewing season tickets, hopfully then these c*nts at our club will leave.

for the Prem maybe its time to try something different in midfield or to do what Sam did as points are more important than pretty football as if we ever get anything better than Sam used to serve up.

If we stay up it will be only a matter of time before we are relagated with with Venkys and co in charge so maybe this is a good thing (in a sick way) that we go down to hopefully get the club back in the town by the fans owning it (if money can be raised in such tough times) and get rid of the Venkys and co!

I will be at MY EWOOD long after the Venkys have gone!

“We are very proud to be associated with Blackburn Rovers, a team with whom we share many values

Blackburn Rovers as a truly global brand. We will absolutely respect the Jack Walker legacy and will be
actively supporting the organisation to ensure that Blackburn Rovers remains one of the best run clubs

If you don't make a stance for change at ST renewal then your comments afterwards as far as Venkys are concerned are as important as a snowball in hell.
.
Having been going since 1965 I will not knock any Rovers fan if they renew or don't as these are strange days - but just think on if you are unhappy at present then thousands of fans not renewing in the short term is the best way to get them to take notice?
