We need this man and potentially the owners out now! They have taken the p*** out of the Blackburn public for too long now - and continue to do so ... and you renew your season tickets? As big a numpties as Kean, vote with your feet and hit these people in the pocket, that way things get sorted out quicker!

Anyhow - the latest 'stunt' comes tonight - we've only gone and ripped up years of tradition (Keans' style!) and moved to the away dugout - with no tickets sold in and around this area - lol! Masterstroke request from Kean again - anyhow the club is a mess ... just think of the squad of players Venkys inherited and look at this c*** now!

Enough is enough - hopefully tonight shall be the beginning of the end!

They ask us to show some faith in them, well they can start bringing in a competent manager who we can all get behind. We've all seen this before - Harford, Kidd, Ince and now Kean. His statistics don't lie. For god's sake, put him out of his misery.

Hi LP I think you are correct, however if the "worst" happens, and Rovers start winning games, I fully expect the crowds to increase. Whilst there is hatred for Kean, supporting a "winning team" is attractive and some will return - not everybody, as some posters on here are a stubborn as me with their views, and will "stick to their guns" and wait, and then pay for the taxi for Kean!!

People that still pump money into the club are akin to a parent that continues to feed junkfood to its obese child. They claim they do it because they love their child (club) and want to make it happy, however in reality their blind love and faith that the child will not die of illhealth (that Venkys will not kill Rovers) is absolute delusion. They don’t understand what tough love is – sometimes you have to do things that are painful in the short term for long term benefit. Just as a parent of an obese child may go into denial about their problem and will continue to feed them junk some fans still fund the destruction of their club by financially propping up Venkys out of misguided affection. It is this affection, although admirable, that is the problem. It is also this affection that those at the club are exploiting you for.

Steve Kean is on £25,000 per week. If you are still financially supporting Rovers YOUR money is partly funding his lifestyle.

No wonder other fans and media folks say that there is something fundamentally wrong at our club when Rovers fans think that the Rovers winning is the 'worst' thing that can happen...

by now everyone north of Australia knows all about the Venkys and Keans reign that has caused the terrible troubles that resulted in our relegation, but really as Rovers fans first and foremost then we should all want to see the Rovers start winning games again.
That is what it is all about. And always has been.

No, renewing your season ticket was not a vote for Kean. I have stated on here before, some fans will not turn on their TEAM, no matter what. This does not mean we want that pr!ck in charge or agree with what he has done. Respect, to the people who are voting with their feet and us ST holders fully understand why this has been done, and I only wish I could have done the same but I can't!!
If things don't work out on match days then we have to make the difference inside with getting this idiot out, but I'm afraid I am RTID and always will be, so please don't shame us, as we don't shame you for staying away - We all want the same, and the day this happens cannot come soon enough.

Only by doing this can he give the shallowness of the media and the ignorable Venky,s the impression he is in control of his little world....and be able to continue his deceit and lies through misquotes and suggestions of a togetherness via his favourite desperate players within the squad and his conman performance making out he is changing things continuously for the better...WHEN IN TRUTH, HE HAS BEEN GOING BACKWAYS FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS...
We are told that he now has the "standard & calibre" of player that we (THE SUPPORTERS) are all now enjoying down at Ewood !!!!
He thinks the odd win & draw will see the return of supporters in their thousand...that we are so fickle we shall forget & forgive the damage he has (& continues) to bring and the discredit brought upon the club during his time has manager.
A "Conman" to the extreme....

Hull are expecting to take around 3000 tonight and generally are at this level a well supported team on their travels.You may touch 14k if you are lucky tonight but your really bad gates will come if you start badly and also play some of the poorer supported teams on their travels eg Watford Palace Bristol City Peterborough and Charlton.Rovers are lucky that over two thirds of the Championship this season are clubs in the North and the Midlands and mostly clubs that will bring thousands eg Burnley Bolton Blackpool Leeds Huddersfield Forest Derby Leicester Wolves and Sheffield Wednesday.That fact alone will distort Rovers real support base and I wouldn't be surprised if Rovers actually increase numbers of away supporters at Ewood this season that last season in the Premier League.

i am not wallowing in any facts Benal13....and the only brown nosed Kean 'luvvies' on here are Burnley fans.

Surely you can not think there are ANY Rovers fans in existence that can even tolerate or 'like' Kean - let alone 'love' him.

I just stated my opinion that (despite Kean and Venkys) we should all support the team and hope they get the wins we need.
Not going (and not wanting the Rovers to win) will not get Kean sacked, that has already been proved. The odious one seems invincible for what must be some very dark and deceitful reasons.

Colours nailed to the mast, no surrender. I will be happy and clapping tonight for sure Stone, supporting my Rovers, not the owners not the manager. My Team. They will come and go, times will be good or bad as always but I will be there in Blue and White halves reversed as the shirt should be...
We will win, first of many I hope and the gate will be above 16k, that is my belief and no I am not deluded or stupid.
I simply refuse to join this self destructive stance of staying away. Without us there is no club...

Now we have to listen to the odious one claim that wins are going to see fans return in droves ?

When are they and the odious one going to understand that many, many folk will not return regardless if our team wins under this preposterous situation.

The odious one took the reigns of this club through shear skulduggery on his and others part thus creating this fractious environment mainly down to his inability in achieving that which he so gleefully spouts day in day out, week in week out, month in month out, and year in year out resulting in alienating more and more of the seasoned supporters, who cannot accept that this abject loser is still being given license to fail.

Those who attend tonight will see just what is on offer, and unless we get one of the 'rabbit out the hat' games the odious one is capable of then I will predict another 20 minute barrage(with a goal) then we will sit behind the ball non- plussed whilst the odious one sits in his now opposite dugout.

I have reached new levels of disdain toward the odious one and I absolutely believe our team is now a 'premature ****' under this current regime. This abject failure is very close to being allotted a place in the 'Guinness Book Of Records' for the guff that as flowed out of his gob.

I am so very angry with this on going charade that besieges our embattled club, and a vast majority of it's supporters are isolated.

1400 attended Ipswich Saturday, and I'm sure most would agree with me should our team repeat the showing of that then a positive result will not be forthcoming regardless of which side of the divide you sit on.

For all those attending in the main I expect them to back the team right the way through the game no matter what the result, performance etc for what is the reason for your attendance otherwise ?

It is a chuffing travesty that this situation still exists, and I will never forget the reasons why until they show some mettle and boot this imposter out the door.

To all my fellow Rovers supporters who attend tonight I expect you to create the atmosphere for our team with no recriminations for is it not that you have made your choices in attending thus you have no real cause to criticize that which you openly condone under this imposter ?

Just a thought folk's ?

I hate Kean and all he represents with regards to Blackburn Rovers (nothing against him in his private life) As with many other fans I will not invest any more time or cash in supporting the club whilst he is the manager (season ticket for over 30 years, 1st game 1957, followed them away to some right S--t hole grounds)

However if he is sincere about mending relationships with the fans then he needs to show both contrition for his part in the sorry saga but also humility by respecting the clubs traditions and realising just what the club means to the town and it`s supporters.

Until then, my own personal protest will continue, no season tickets and I have also given up my car park space on Albert road 1 (as rare as rockin horse s--t) what I can`t believe though is that we have sold 9,000 season tickets! how? or more importantly who? are there really 9,000 supporters who believe Kean is doing a good job? no matter what you say to justify buying your season ticket, the fact is each season ticket purchased was a "YES" vote for Kean, shame on you.

When are they and the odious one going to understand that many, many folk will not return regardless if our team wins under this preposterous situation.

The odious one took the reigns of this club through shear skulduggery on his and others part thus creating this fractious environment mainly down to his inability in achieving that which he so gleefully spouts day in day out, week in week out, month in month out, and year in year out resulting in alienating more and more of the seasoned supporters, who cannot accept that this abject loser is still being given license to fail.

Those who attend tonight will see just what is on offer, and unless we get one of the 'rabbit out the hat' games the odious one is capable of then I will predict another 20 minute barrage(with a goal) then we will sit behind the ball non- plussed whilst the odious one sits in his now opposite dugout.

I have reached new levels of disdain toward the odious one and I absolutely believe our team is now a 'premature ****' under this current regime. This abject failure is very close to being allotted a place in the 'Guinness Book Of Records' for the guff that as flowed out of his gob.

I am so very angry with this on going charade that besieges our embattled club, and a vast majority of it's supporters are isolated.

1400 attended Ipswich Saturday, and I'm sure most would agree with me should our team repeat the showing of that then a positive result will not be forthcoming regardless of which side of the divide you sit on.

For all those attending in the main I expect them to back the team right the way through the game no matter what the result, performance etc for what is the reason for your attendance otherwise ?

It is a chuffing travesty that this situation still exists, and I will never forget the reasons why until they show some mettle and boot this imposter out the door.

To all my fellow Rovers supporters who attend tonight I expect you to create the atmosphere for our team with no recriminations for is it not that you have made your choices in attending thus you have no real cause to criticize that which you openly condone under this imposter ?

Just a thought folk's ?

Hi RR.....love the rant sir, some great points made. Hope you can contain the anger and be at peace soon.

This so called manager has succeeded though in a couple of things, turning fan against fan, alienating a large number of longtime and loyal supporters, and fooling his employers (if indeed they are fooled) into thinking he has the towns support and that he is doing a good job and will get there in the end? That he has not been ousted yet is almost beyond belief. He must be the holder of some dark and terrible secrets. Or some Rovers shares.

I know you will hear the Cheers and the Jeers from your front room this evening and I understand how hurtful and hard that will be....but you know that I believe your exile is in vain RR, the man they call Odious will not go because of either losses or lies - he has had too many of both of those already and yet he is still very much present.

My suggestion would be for the Rovers to start winning games and move up the table and we get full houses at Ewood - where 30000 Rovers fans can gather and ALL sing Kean Out through the match. Now that would be a powerful voice/sound/message that would be heard everywhere - even in deepest India.

3-1 to the Rovers tonight Woody! Best Wishes.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and it's up to each individual whether or not they want to buy a season ticket. However, there seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding people's reasons for doing one or the other.

For those saying that by purchasing a season ticket, replica shirt, etc., fans will be lining Venky's pockets, thus delaying the sale of the club or removal of Steve Kean as manager. This isn't true. The only way that Venky's will sell is if an outrageous offer comes their way, their other businesses suffer or we fail to gain promotion in the next few years - after all what good is a Championship club when you're using it to promote your brand?

Steve Kean's departure, if it ever happens, will have nothing to do with the financial side of things at Blackburn Rovers. If anything, the lack of funds in the club's coffers will probably delay his sacking and also hinder the appointment of a decent manager, should that bridge ever be crossed. After all, ticket and merchandise sales are usually allocated towards to paying of all club staff and the upkeep of the stadium.

As for those who have bought season tickets and referred to stay-away fans as 'not real supporters', shame on you. The decision to stop attending home games is obviously a very difficult one, but ultimately one taken as it's the only way to try and get the message across to Venky's that until Kean is gone the club WON'T be the big, happy family that they want it to be.

Granted, this message will be hard to get across when Kean's misleading comments are seemingly printed without any questions asked or a footnote added stating that these are not the views of the majority of fans.

Also, any fan stating that they'll be attending Ewood Park to support their team - not Steve Kean - is only fooling themselves. The training, team selection, tactics and substitutions are all decided by Kean. Therefore you are supporting Kean's choices so, as a direct result, supporting the man himself.

You may feel better by telling yourself otherwise but, alas, this isn't possible, let alone true.

I suggest all the in-fighting stops now. By all means slate the manager, players, owners, staff, tactics, results, Burnley, etc. Just stop slating each other.

You have no financial interest in the club, you have no voting rights. Your £225 per year counts for nothing compared to the Sky money we will receive back in the Premiership and we stand a much better chance of getting there without you. Anyone chanting Kean Out at tonight's game should be forcibly evicted.

Hi Mr French....

The pull to go down tonight and rid myself of the stance I hold is strong.

It isn't of no matter if we win, lose or draw Mr French for as you know it's the participation that is paramount.

We always want our team to win, and this is why your comments are endearing in your wishes for our team. Yours(IMO) isn't rose tinted glasses, but a great positive desire that as never become tainted, and that in my opinion is what is positive and ambitious about our club even in this diversity.

We all know the matter(s) for our reservations, and if I'm going to crack and return then I have to buy into this vision, ambition of the odious one with no complaints and hope our club can turn the corner(which as we have said we always do) eventually.

That is the dilemma facing me here as you know ?

Stick or twist ?

Best regards Mr French and it is on the way to you as we speak :)

Maybe if we filled the ground on Satuday and did this it would show everyone that we are 100% Rovers and 0% Kean/Hendry/Venky's and then choose to boycott after that match. A large visible statement is required as nothing else seems to have worked.

I cannot condemn people for going on, my best mates are both there tonight. I have openly told them I disagree with them, but, it would tear them apart not to go. They are true supporters of over 30 years, went all over europe, meaningless friendlies at Aberdeen, you name it they did it. They just love Rovers more than they hate Kean etc.

I hate all the divisiion amongst the Rovers fans at the moment. What would Uncle Jack think of all the in fighting between us all. It would crucify him to see what has become of his and our Rovers. Sadly, there is no easy answer as the people that mae the decisions have their heads well and truly buried in the Indian sand.

Good luck to one and all tonight. Stay safe.

That's the biggest load of **** since Kean last opened his mouth. So do we lie down and carrying on having the p1ss taken out of us? £225 a year may count for nothing to Venkys but to me and thousands others that have spent tens of thousands (in my case for over 30 years) it means a hell of a lot. If the 'KEAN OUT' brigade boycott the games, the 'KEAN IN' brigade (all 5 of you) may as well sit in the dugout with the lying b4stard whilst we drop down the leagues. He is a management disaster and until he's sacked Rovers are doomed. Are you a dingle? Or Keans rent boy?
