Andy Cryer you talk utter pap. The low attendances ARE because of relegation and nothing else. All these fans that are hiding behind the boycot til kean is gone. Why didnt they boycott last season? Ill tell you why because we had prem football. Do your job proper pal look at attendances the last time we was in the championship, and attendances before Jack walker turned the club into his own little play thing, which inflated attendances by around 10k

Don't be a moron all your life.

I've been a season ticket holder for the last 30 years - so have the 5 friends that are now not going to Ewood - but we will return when he has gone, regardless of the division we are in - how long have you been a season ticket holder wrigglers ??? (also we ARE going to games - AWAY games).

We boycott the club this season because it is the only protest Mrs D has left opened to us - if we had stayed up last season we would still have boycotted this season.

Don't you understand that by supporting your "team" you are over the longer term killing the "club".

Don't tell me that even Venkys arn,t concerned about the amount of fans that are staying away - because they definately are - whatever you self proclaimed (appeasers) "spartans" - (how pathetic is that) say - without a big chunk of fans that are currently staying away THERE IS NO BRFC - not longterm, not in the upper echelons of English football - you wrigglers (and your fellow appeaser mates) might be too stupid to understand this but Venkys are not (do you expect them to subsidise the club longterm - no chance).

Those who are staying away are empasising a message - "listen to your customers or suffer the consequences".

The appeasers who currently give this disgusting regime money are giving the opposite message "you can treat us any why you like, it dosent matter, we'll still just turn up and give you money".

It is great to be top of the league. Unbelievable even. But Rovers won't tempt the waverers back by playing like we have at home so far. It is refreshing to come home with a win but I don't think we have played well at all. I think all visiting team will have been gutted this year to have come away without something. Oh to have a manager to fire this lot up.

As I posted yesterday, if you have been a Rovers fan for so long you will have seen them on a lot worse position than they are today.
25 years ago we would have been over the moon to be top of what is basically the old second division.
Also have a look at Portsmouth and Coventry. Both bigger clubs than Rovers and I imagine their fans can't believe Rovers fans. We have just spent £8M on one player. Yet we still moan.
As I have said lots of times before I want Kean out as much as the next man but I also want to support my team.
Look past Kean and support the team!
We are going up!

Andy, your views are so short-termist.

There is a cancer at the club, which an unbeaten run cannot disguise and only an intensified boycott can get rid of.

Its disappointing that a start of season run can make anyone so blinkered that they lose sight of the bigger picture. Also the unbeaten run, albeit welcome, has only taken place because we are in a division where it is possible for Rovers to achieve this feat. And we are only in that division because of the lies of SK and Venky's in the first place.

We have been pilloried for being 'fickle fans' in the media and by other supporters. By getting off Kean's back we prove ourselves to be that. By continuing to protest we show ourselves to be fans who stick by our principles for a long term goal.

It takes more than 6 games for a leopard to change its spots.

Supporting the team i am killing them in the long term?? Ok lets say your right with the boycot and each and everyone of us doesnt buy st's merchandise. Now im no business man but i think with no income coming in that would lead to administration and the assured death of the club would it not?? You keep up your boycot thinking it will work.

This is were i become a bit of a hypocrite and think kean should of been sacked last season. Football is a results based business and whilst the team are getting those results the owners will not rock the boat.

Do you reallly think the venkys money men will of sat around close season and thought well we will stilll get pennies in the pot? No they will of accounted for the loss of income and offset it through all the sales they made and slashing of the wage bill. Next season if we go up and fans stay away they will get this seasons investment back through payments from the premier league. if rhodes continues like he is they will sell him on for a nice profit which will cover the loss of your season ticket prices.

The odious one will be relieved of his duties come the end of the season come what may, in my opinion ?

All away games I have attended thus far and intend to carry that on.

After much deliberation I attended Tuesdays game although the game and atmosphere were terrible, but the result glosses over the very real nature of the problems that beset BRFC.

Thousands and thousands of supporters staying away is a very real problem that Venkys must address soon.

I've come to the decision that the odious one is not going to spoil or impair my dedication to the club I have supported for nigh on 40 years and I will pick my games at home. I will not purchase a ST until the odious one as left.

The wringing that this guy as put me through will never be forgotten, but our/my club comes first and I only wish for the very best for it and at this time(warts and all) things are going the way that was the prerequisite of the odious one and Venky thus in my opinion we have to put aside all differences and support that which is on offer at this time.

I will not recognize or acknowledge the odious one for any success that BRFC achieve, and I believe he will be given the push come the end of the season ?

Just a thought folk's ?

You are right - you are no businessman.

Why - because you think to SHORT TERM - you talk about "next season" and "selling Rhodes for a profit" - without a big chunk of fans returning there is no BRFC in the upper echelons of football for the long-term.
Venkys must be losing £4m this season from the stay away fans and sponsers - but that is £4m THIS SEASON - if Venkys don't get us all back that could be £4m EVERY season - thats the simple point you and your fellow appears don't understand but that I'm sure Mrs D does - and that is why you were right - you are NO BUSINESSMAN.

Keeping customers - LONG-TERM - and its not just ST holders, what about corporate - that has fallen off a cliff, even the PT didnt want their name on the shirt for FREE.

I also see that you didnt answer that last part of my statement - fans that stay away make a point - you have to listen to your customers and fans that are now appeasing this regime (like you) are giving Venkys the message - trample all over us, treat us with utter contempt, it dosent matter we'll still give you our money, no matter what.

Venkies must think the 8,000 ST holders the biggest mugs on earth.

Sorry wrigglers but it isnt Cryer that is talking pap as you put it. If you knew anything you would know there is a deliberate boycott of home games. There are thousands of long standing fans who have had enough of being lied to and treated with utter contempt.This is a deliberate campaign, many are hurting at none attendance and wont come back until a capable manager is installed. Fans did boycott last year! Any club will attract fair weather fans when they achieve a degree of success, but to say people are not turning up due to relegation and nothing else shows your total lack of understanding of what Venkys and Kean have done. If you are a rovers fan I find it very distasteful that you would describe the club as Jack's little play thing. That's the sort of comment that was thrown at us by jealous rivals who couldnt stand the fact we had gatecrashed their party

What about all the lost sponsorship money? corporate spending etc? There are lots of hidden figures that make up income. Plus loss of corporate image?
The Venky's would not keep bombarding me and others with emails if they were not missing my attendance at Ewood.

Narcissistic;

1. excessive self-admiration and self-centredness

2. personality disorder: in psychiatry, a personality disorder characterized by the patient’s overestimation of his or her own appearance and abilities and an excessive need for admiration.

Sound like anyone you know?

I also see that you didnt answer that last part of my statement - fans that stay away make a point - you have to listen to your customers and fans that are now appeasing this regime (like you) are giving Venkys the message - trample all over us, treat us with utter contempt, it dosent matter we'll still give you our money, no matter what.

Venkies must think the 8,000 ST holders the biggest mugs on earth.

J C Rishton I am afraid it is you that is NO BUSINESSMAN.
If you assume that Rovers crowd is down 5,000 people, this would be a crowd of 18,000.
There is no way that Rovers crowd would be more than 18,000 having just been relegated. Previous history proves this point.
So lets assume it is 5,000 season tickets at an average price of 350 pounds.
This equals £1,750,000
Then the extra sale of food drinks etc. Shall we say 8 pounds each
That would be 8 x 5000 = 40,000 pounds per match
There are 23 league matches this season.
23 matches times 40,000 pounds equals 920,000 pounds
So the extra income if Kean gets sacked would be £2,670,000
This figure is not profit by the way the figure of £2,670,000 is turnover.
So now we know the figures please answer me one question.
Do you really think Venkys are bothered about that amount of money?
They will make twice that figure at the tribunal for Hoillett.
So I thank god you are not running my businesses.
However, the point of the post is to highlight that all these people that think that staying away is bothering Venkys.
Look at the above figures and have a rethink.
I agree that Kean should have been sacked but he hasnt been.
So you either go and support the team and forget about Kean or continue to put up a futile ' I am not going' stance to try an hurt Venkys.
They are multi millionaires, do you really think £2m turnover is bothering them that much, particularly when Rovers are top of the league????

Regardless of what "the Spartans" or "the true supporters" say, they can't deny that the boycott isn't working. If rumours are to be believed, venkys now know what the problem with attendances is and finally understand that BRFC starts with the 20,000 people who WANT to give their money every week. Nor can they say that the boycott is damaging the club or the team as the league position contradicts this. I personally think that venkys are merely look

Don't be a moron all your life.

We boycott the club this season because it is the only protest Mrs D has left opened to us - if we had stayed up last season we would still have boycotted this season.

Don't you understand that by supporting your "team" you are over the longer term killing the "club".

Don't tell me that even Venkys arn,t concerned about the amount of fans that are staying away - because they definately are - whatever you self proclaimed (appeasers) "spartans" - (how pathetic is that) say - without a big chunk of fans that are currently staying away THERE IS NO BRFC - not longterm, not in the upper echelons of English football - you wrigglers (and your fellow appeaser mates) might be too stupid to understand this but Venkys are not (do you expect them to subsidise the club longterm - no chance).

Those who are staying away are empasising a message - "listen to your customers or suffer the consequences".

The appeasers who currently give this disgusting regime money are giving the opposite message "you can treat us any why you like, it dosent matter, we'll still just turn up and give you money".

Supporting the team i am killing them in the long term?? Ok lets say your right with the boycot and each and everyone of us doesnt buy st's merchandise. Now im no business man but i think with no income coming in that would lead to administration and the assured death of the club would it not?? You keep up your boycot thinking it will work.

This is were i become a bit of a hypocrite and think kean should of been sacked last season. Football is a results based business and whilst the team are getting those results the owners will not rock the boat.

Do you reallly think the venkys money men will of sat around close season and thought well we will stilll get pennies in the pot? No they will of accounted for the loss of income and offset it through all the sales they made and slashing of the wage bill. Next season if we go up and fans stay away they will get this seasons investment back through payments from the premier league. if rhodes continues like he is they will sell him on for a nice profit which will cover the loss of your season ticket prices.

I think our Indian owners will be more worried about losing face, something very important in Indian culture. This Friday night is a perfect opportunity to hit them where it hurts with thousands of empty seats on Sky. It must be made clear that attendances will not improve until Kean is removed regardless of where we are in the league. I think we're at a stage now where it's who blinks first. Hold our nerve, don't give in and we could have a decent manager very soon and then we can all stop this in-fighting and unite behind the team which in the end is what we all want surely.

Get off the fence and support the obviously passionate boycotters and get rid of this awsomely disreputable manager. You might even get a few more readers...or even another job.

The odious one will be relieved of his duties come the end of the season come what may, in my opinion ?

All away games I have attended thus far and intend to carry that on.

After much deliberation I attended Tuesdays game although the game and atmosphere were terrible, but the result glosses over the very real nature of the problems that beset BRFC.

Thousands and thousands of supporters staying away is a very real problem that Venkys must address soon.

I've come to the decision that the odious one is not going to spoil or impair my dedication to the club I have supported for nigh on 40 years and I will pick my games at home. I will not purchase a ST until the odious one as left.

The wringing that this guy as put me through will never be forgotten, but our/my club comes first and I only wish for the very best for it and at this time(warts and all) things are going the way that was the prerequisite of the odious one and Venky thus in my opinion we have to put aside all differences and support that which is on offer at this time.

I will not recognize or acknowledge the odious one for any success that BRFC achieve, and I believe he will be given the push come the end of the season ?

Just a thought folk's ?

After a bad performance and result maybe there is a case for such comments, but every article? Very sad and narcissistic.

Narcissistic; 1. excessive self-admiration and self-centredness 2. personality disorder: in psychiatry, a personality disorder characterized by the patient’s overestimation of his or her own appearance and abilities and an excessive need for admiration. Sound like anyone you know?

I don't disagree with the anti-kean sentiments, but the point i was making is we are all going through the same **** so why do some people feel the need to talk about the same things in every article everyday. Come Friday night most probably there will be a good reason again for getting on Kean's back, therefore there is ample opportunity for people to vent their feelings.

Don't be a moron all your life.

I've been a season ticket holder for the last 30 years - so have the 5 friends that are now not going to Ewood - but we will return when he has gone, regardless of the division we are in - how long have you been a season ticket holder wrigglers ??? (also we ARE going to games - AWAY games).

We boycott the club this season because it is the only protest Mrs D has left opened to us - if we had stayed up last season we would still have boycotted this season.

Don't you understand that by supporting your "team" you are over the longer term killing the "club".

Don't tell me that even Venkys arn,t concerned about the amount of fans that are staying away - because they definately are - whatever you self proclaimed (appeasers) "spartans" - (how pathetic is that) say - without a big chunk of fans that are currently staying away THERE IS NO BRFC - not longterm, not in the upper echelons of English football - you wrigglers (and your fellow appeaser mates) might be too stupid to understand this but Venkys are not (do you expect them to subsidise the club longterm - no chance).

Those who are staying away are empasising a message - "listen to your customers or suffer the consequences".

The appeasers who currently give this disgusting regime money are giving the opposite message "you can treat us any why you like, it dosent matter, we'll still just turn up and give you money".

Supporting the team i am killing them in the long term?? Ok lets say your right with the boycot and each and everyone of us doesnt buy st's merchandise. Now im no business man but i think with no income coming in that would lead to administration and the assured death of the club would it not?? You keep up your boycot thinking it will work.

This is were i become a bit of a hypocrite and think kean should of been sacked last season. Football is a results based business and whilst the team are getting those results the owners will not rock the boat.

Do you reallly think the venkys money men will of sat around close season and thought well we will stilll get pennies in the pot? No they will of accounted for the loss of income and offset it through all the sales they made and slashing of the wage bill. Next season if we go up and fans stay away they will get this seasons investment back through payments from the premier league. if rhodes continues like he is they will sell him on for a nice profit which will cover the loss of your season ticket prices.

You are right - you are no businessman.

Why - because you think to SHORT TERM - you talk about "next season" and "selling Rhodes for a profit" - without a big chunk of fans returning there is no BRFC in the upper echelons of football for the long-term.
Venkys must be losing £4m this season from the stay away fans and sponsers - but that is £4m THIS SEASON - if Venkys don't get us all back that could be £4m EVERY season - thats the simple point you and your fellow appears don't understand but that I'm sure Mrs D does - and that is why you were right - you are NO BUSINESSMAN.

Keeping customers - LONG-TERM - and its not just ST holders, what about corporate - that has fallen off a cliff, even the PT didnt want their name on the shirt for FREE.

I also see that you didnt answer that last part of my statement - fans that stay away make a point - you have to listen to your customers and fans that are now appeasing this regime (like you) are giving Venkys the message - trample all over us, treat us with utter contempt, it dosent matter we'll still give you our money, no matter what.

Venkies must think the 8,000 ST holders the biggest mugs on earth.

J C Rishton I am afraid it is you that is NO BUSINESSMAN.
If you assume that Rovers crowd is down 5,000 people, this would be a crowd of 18,000.
There is no way that Rovers crowd would be more than 18,000 having just been relegated. Previous history proves this point.
So lets assume it is 5,000 season tickets at an average price of 350 pounds.
This equals £1,750,000
Then the extra sale of food drinks etc. Shall we say 8 pounds each
That would be 8 x 5000 = 40,000 pounds per match
There are 23 league matches this season.
23 matches times 40,000 pounds equals 920,000 pounds
So the extra income if Kean gets sacked would be £2,670,000
This figure is not profit by the way the figure of £2,670,000 is turnover.
So now we know the figures please answer me one question.
Do you really think Venkys are bothered about that amount of money?
They will make twice that figure at the tribunal for Hoillett.
So I thank god you are not running my businesses.
However, the point of the post is to highlight that all these people that think that staying away is bothering Venkys.
Look at the above figures and have a rethink.
I agree that Kean should have been sacked but he hasnt been.
So you either go and support the team and forget about Kean or continue to put up a futile ' I am not going' stance to try an hurt Venkys.
They are multi millionaires, do you really think £2m turnover is bothering them that much, particularly when Rovers are top of the league????

With only one point leading the other 4 teams, I don't see there's anything we should be proud of. Our goal difference is only 5 with 4 games won, did you see who convincing Blackpool won their previous games?

We all are supporters of Rovers, but the current management is who we are against and angry with.

Do you really think your £2-300 will really make a difference to the Venky's?? They will lose in the region of 30m this year on trying to get the club back where THEY want us to be. I respect your stand off but not going for not wanting to give them 'your money' doesn't make much sense. Besides we're top of the league and the club is on the up. The only people going in the wrong direction is the 'Kean Out' brigade. Kean doesn't mind, & the owners certainly don't so you may as well join us! COYB!

And if as those that go say, they don't like Kean, it would also show support for the anti Kean brigade. Those that like him could just stay where they where. Then everybody would know the state of play.

Yeh can you imagine Holloway growling on the touch line like he does for 90 minutes, just the kind if manager we need, at least when his teams come out after half time they look motivated, a quality our idiot cannot do.

As a one off come and join the boycotters on Friday night, lets show the Venkys what we think of there Mupett. If you have to go then go with my blessing, the Spartens and the Boycotters are all the same FANS of BRFC, just shout Kean out as often as you can.

Thought so; ah well, life goes on........ You couldn't ask your old man to send down a lightening bolt or two on to the home team bench tomorrow night could you? Thanks in anticipation.

You dont half talk some fertiliser Darener, which is ironic a syou are not even qualified as a Rovers fan following all your rhetoric about following Darwen FC instead of Rovers, or was it Chorley or Stanley..who cares
To all the Antifans, just go away and buy your Chelsea and Man U tops and spout off how you have been life long fans of whichever glory club you choose (Barcelona have a nice top, comes in all sizes inc |C|ouch Spud for all you that cant get off one)
Just stay away if you dont like the set up. but don't keep bigging youself up as heroes as you are not, not even man enough to weather troubled times and see the job through, supporting your team not this childish boycott nonsense.
You sound like spoiled brats, if your kids behaved like that you would give them a slap. That is what you are kids, stamping your feet because you can't have the sweeties you want, like most of you did over Sam.
Don't dress it up as some noble crusade, wimps.
If ther is anyone I have not offended I apologise, I will try harder in future.
Either get to the ground and support or please stfu, no go? No Fan

what rubbish...there were 5 years and two other managers at Blackpool after Hendry and before Holloway took over. Not saying he is a bad manager (about a zillion times better than SK) but try and get your facts right when you are using other clubs to make your points....and oh by the way we are above the tangoed ones in the league....! Anyway it does not matter in the least what other clubs do - concentrate on your own.

YES French Rover, well aware of there has been other managers at Blackpool since Hendry left and Holloway took over , but it was Grayson who came in after Hendry and miraculously managed to keep Blackpool from being relegated into the lowest tier in the Football leagues, Blackpool were doomed and Hendry got sacked ,Grayson took over and managed to win 4 out out of the last 5 game to keep them up.
Blackpool`s defence was woeful , HENDRY a decent player but is a clown of a manager /coach.

J C Rishton I am afraid it is you that is NO BUSINESSMAN. If you assume that Rovers crowd is down 5,000 people, this would be a crowd of 18,000. There is no way that Rovers crowd would be more than 18,000 having just been relegated. Previous history proves this point. So lets assume it is 5,000 season tickets at an average price of 350 pounds. This equals £1,750,000 Then the extra sale of food drinks etc. Shall we say 8 pounds each That would be 8 x 5000 = 40,000 pounds per match There are 23 league matches this season. 23 matches times 40,000 pounds equals 920,000 pounds So the extra income if Kean gets sacked would be £2,670,000 This figure is not profit by the way the figure of £2,670,000 is turnover. So now we know the figures please answer me one question. Do you really think Venkys are bothered about that amount of money? They will make twice that figure at the tribunal for Hoillett. So I thank god you are not running my businesses. However, the point of the post is to highlight that all these people that think that staying away is bothering Venkys. Look at the above figures and have a rethink. I agree that Kean should have been sacked but he hasnt been. So you either go and support the team and forget about Kean or continue to put up a futile ' I am not going' stance to try an hurt Venkys. They are multi millionaires, do you really think £2m turnover is bothering them that much, particularly when Rovers are top of the league????

Chri$t, I thought I was boring.

You are.....

Thought so; ah well, life goes on........ You couldn't ask your old man to send down a lightening bolt or two on to the home team bench tomorrow night could you? Thanks in anticipation.

I can certainly ask, but he gets a bit up his own árse with the whole 'showing of power' thing, besides the lightening bolts thing is more my uncle Zeus' fortay and he is still miffed at be portayed by Liam Neeson..

The 'let's get over Steve Kean' moment will last as long as the Rovers remain on good form and top of the Championship. As soon as the team's form dips, as it inevitably will during a long season, the pressure on the manager will resume to its previous intensity. The facts remain that Mr Kean is a poor manager and a long time ago lost the confidence of the fans. And not just for performances on the field. The LET and other news media continue to fail to get to the bottom of his continued presence at Ewood Park. Any sensible owners would have brought in change long ago.

What's with all the ridiculous comments about Venky's not missing the season ticket money from the stay-away fans? Just because they're rich doesn't mean that they can afford to lose a few million quid. Also, the unsavoury situation they've created by failing to relieve Kean of the reins hasn't just antagonised a large section of the fans, it's also driven the vast majority of sponsors away and failed to attract any new ones. If they didn't care about the loss of revenue then why are they continually offering special ticket prices to try and entice supporters back? The club ARE concerned by the home gate receipts but they're hoping that our results will bring fans back in their thousands, although I wouldn't be holding my breath if I was them. If we somehow hadn't managed to win all our home games, in spite of our performances, then I'm pretty certain Kean's future would already be looking far more bleak. A defeat or two will surely see Kean's position come under more scrutiny. Until then nothing is going to change.

You are absolutely right - utter moronic comments "Venkys are rich so do you think it bothers them that you boycotting fans/ex-sponsers are costing them £4-£5m per annum - er YES !!!!

Are these "spartans" (they are usually called collaborators in other walks of life) don't realise that last year we made the largest losses in our clubs history and this year it will be even greater - but Mrs D won't bother about that cos she's already rich ? yeah right.

Also, we don't acually KNOW the current financial position at Ewood as Venkys are currently breaking UK laws as they have failed to file their accounts on time - still as long as we are top of the league then all these self proclaimed "spartans" don't seem to give a parrots **** about small inconveniences like the clubs finances or our owners failing to comply with UK laws.

This protest would work for me as it cannot be mistaken for anything but a clear message to the owners that we want kean out. But try getting everyone to do it is another matter.

You call me an arsehole and yourself a "spartan" - you have no brain and you are a disgrace to BRFC - you should be ashamed of yourself.

Who is your biggest hero, Steve Kean or Paul Agnew ? (another self proclaimed "life-long fan" who is in co-hoots with these criminals - but to be fair to Agnew - at least he gets 30 pieces of silver to betray the club he claims to support - whats your excuse "Spartan"?.)

Going back to the article I wrote which you slagged me off - I don't think I mentioned the word "ADMINISTRATION" - I simply pointed out a fact - our accounts are OVERDUE (which is against the law) I also said that "because of this, non of us know what state our accounts are in") - and you have taken offence - WHY - because you really are a VENKY-KEAN-AGNEW appologist !

Andy Cryer you talk utter pap. The low attendances ARE because of relegation and nothing else. All these fans that are hiding behind the boycot til kean is gone. Why didnt they boycott last season? Ill tell you why because we had prem football. Do your job proper pal look at attendances the last time we was in the championship, and attendances before Jack walker turned the club into his own little play thing, which inflated attendances by around 10k

What's with all the ridiculous comments about Venky's not missing the season ticket money from the stay-away fans? Just because they're rich doesn't mean that they can afford to lose a few million quid. Also, the unsavoury situation they've created by failing to relieve Kean of the reins hasn't just antagonised a large section of the fans, it's also driven the vast majority of sponsors away and failed to attract any new ones. If they didn't care about the loss of revenue then why are they continually offering special ticket prices to try and entice supporters back? The club ARE concerned by the home gate receipts but they're hoping that our results will bring fans back in their thousands, although I wouldn't be holding my breath if I was them. If we somehow hadn't managed to win all our home games, in spite of our performances, then I'm pretty certain Kean's future would already be looking far more bleak. A defeat or two will surely see Kean's position come under more scrutiny. Until then nothing is going to change.

You are absolutely right - utter moronic comments "Venkys are rich so do you think it bothers them that you boycotting fans/ex-sponsers are costing them £4-£5m per annum - er YES !!!!

Are these "spartans" (they are usually called collaborators in other walks of life) don't realise that last year we made the largest losses in our clubs history and this year it will be even greater - but Mrs D won't bother about that cos she's already rich ? yeah right.

Also, we don't acually KNOW the current financial position at Ewood as Venkys are currently breaking UK laws as they have failed to file their accounts on time - still as long as we are top of the league then all these self proclaimed "spartans" don't seem to give a parrots **** about small inconveniences like the clubs finances or our owners failing to comply with UK laws.

Speaking about MORONS, so what you are saying is your club is going to post an even bigger loss this year and this is something to be proud about?, what an arsehole you sound. If you are intent on putting your club into administration and are willing to risk it folding forever. You are an absolute arsehole of the highest order. ARSEHOLE

The club won't go into administration as there are still millions of pounds to come from parachute payments over the next couple of seasons. The stay-away fans are telling the owners that they won't put a penny into the club until Steve Kean has been sacked. Until that day comes Venky's will have to make up the lost revenue from their own pockets, something that they didn't seem willing to do until it was too late and, no-doubt, something they won't relish doing again should we fail to get promoted. Even they're not so stupid as to let the club get into financial difficulty for the sake of one man.

As for this 'Spartan' nonsense, if only the people attending Ewood Park are true supporters can you explain the arguing amongst fans that has happened at EVERY home game so far this season. Also, explain the, "one-nil and we want Kean out!", chant that reverberated around Ewood Park when we played against Hull City?

Last I heard it was on-going and that Venkys had failed/refused to answer a list of questions the UK Sports minister had submitted to them directly in Pune (ie not via SS at Ewood). I understand the questions mainly related to the purchase of BRFC and who actually owns the club.

They were given a time-line to answer and failed to do so (surprise surprise) so the UK govt has since made a formal complaint to the Indian sports ministry and asked them (and received agreement) that the Indian sports ministry who try to put Venkys under pressure to answer this list of questions.

That would have been late July/early August and thats the last I've heard.

Although I'm sure I'll get slagged off by that "collaborator", RUInsane for implying his heros Venkys, Kean etc etc could possibly be under any kind of investigation into any wrong doing because according to the gospel of Saint Agnew (of which RUInsane is his leading disciple) they are really stand up people who are fantastic leaders of our club and if it wasnt for those pesky "boycotting" fans and ex-sponsers then we'd surely be in the Champions league by now - just as his hero, SK predicted, live on talksport.

As I posted yesterday, if you have been a Rovers fan for so long you will have seen them on a lot worse position than they are today.
25 years ago we would have been over the moon to be top of what is basically the old second division.
Also have a look at Portsmouth and Coventry. Both bigger clubs than Rovers and I imagine their fans can't believe Rovers fans. We have just spent £8M on one player. Yet we still moan.
As I have said lots of times before I want Kean out as much as the next man but I also want to support my team.
Look past Kean and support the team!
We are going up!

You hit the nail on the head. In less than two years the clowns running the show have put the club back 25 years....Spot on.

So whats the point of continuing this boycott. Someone yesterday suggested to attend one home game and then not attend the next. This protest would work for me as it cannot be mistaken for anything but a clear message to the owners that we want kean out. But try getting everyone to do it is another matter.

NO EMPHATIC, NO,IT WONT WORK ,ONE WEEK FULL NEXT WEEK EMPTY COULD NOT TRUST YOU COLLABORATORS ,(SPARTANS) TO BE HONOURABLE AND STICK TO YOUR WEEK EMPTY ,YOU WOULD ALL TURN UP LIKE SHEEP.

See what I mean about you and name calling, can't help youself can you. Still I should expect no less from a premier league glory hunter. Spartans are honourable, they just keep going, they don't throw in the towel like you soft spined slugs. In order to be a spartan requires backbone and bollax. Look like you'll have to go shopping instead then.

"If we equal Blackpools acheivement"

You compare BRFC to Blackpool, a few facts for you to digest,
1. OO spent a long time in jail for very serious offences.
2. OO declared large payments to himself from BFC income
3. CA took BFC to court over non payment of bonus.
4. BFC sell players for profit. % of profits went to individuals
5. IH was not sacked when relegated
6. BFC concede goals and did so in the prem
7 IH did not get bfc promoted last year
and still did not get sacked
8 IH has managed 3 clubs that were relegated.
9. a true indication of our true league position is top
So Blackpool are very similar to ourselves , apart from fans not going.
We got relegated deal with it.

Why does it make a "mockery" of what I am saying ? - what I have told you HAS HAPPENED - I'm sorry if that upsets you to think that you're favorite woman, Mrs D may not be all you have made her out to be.

I also don't understand some fans who go this season (like you and RUinsane) You seem to have to try to justify you're going to Ewood by refusing the possibility that all may not be like it seems behind the scenes at Ewood and that you have to defend Venkys and Kean to the hilt ?

Well - you don't - you can go and "support the lads" and ALSO accept that the club has not been well managed since Venkys took over (to put it mildly).

I posted earlier Venkys hadnt filed our accounts yet (3 months late) - and one of your fellow St Agnew disciples slagged me off for it.

Dosent it concern you in the slightest that our accounts have not yet been filed ?? - and so breaking UK law ?

Also, usually (but not always) it is a sign that a company either has financial problems or there is something in those accounts that they don't want the whole world to see - only time will tell.

Anyway.. We are Charging towards promotion with a safe Financial situation and a better squad, Therefore please cut the negativity out and give over about Kean and the Venkys. Lets look at the positives as I've already mentioned, Be true supporters and turn up to the home games regardless of who you don't like , Yes we are aware of what Kean has done wrong! but for crying out loud lets give over and look forward rather than back! attendances is around 13,000 at the moment, 7,000 less than previous seasons in the Top Flight when are average attendance was 20,000 even under Big Sam and Hughes, clearly its due to playing against teams like Barnsley rather than Man Utd or Liverpool..that proves its down to smaller oppositions rather than blaming Kean for the 7,000 lesser fans at home games...Come on! everyone pull together and help Kean, The Owners, The Club, and the Team get back into the premiership league!!!

You compare BRFC to Blackpool, a few facts for you to digest,
1. OO spent a long time in jail for very serious offences.
2. OO declared large payments to himself from BFC income
3. CA took BFC to court over non payment of bonus.
4. BFC sell players for profit. % of profits went to individuals
5. IH was not sacked when relegated
6. BFC concede goals and did so in the prem
7 IH did not get bfc promoted last year
and still did not get sacked
8 IH has managed 3 clubs that were relegated.
9. a true indication of our true league position is top
So Blackpool are very similar to ourselves , apart from fans not going.
We got relegated deal with it.

Wow rant over? I was referring to their 4 1 win nothing more!

Dont like facts then do you but you are happy to quote Blackpool as a comparison to BRFC but overlook things that have gone on.

Wriggler...re your last paragraph...nice try but the stay aways will still be stay aways. We want the ground as empty as possible. That will be the best way to show we are serious in not returning until Kean is gone.
As for paying the players wages your money won't even pay for having his car washed.

Well I'm going down to represent Rovers for you cause thats the kind of person I am. I will do this just for you guys, I will never give up my shirt or lay down my flag for no-one, If you haven't got the knackers I will do it for you. One day there will be a film about this, how the 8000 spartans defended the honour of the man bags and saved the history and heritage of Blacburn Rovers even for the deserters who didn't know what was best for them.
You can thank me later :0).

What's with all the ridiculous comments about Venky's not missing the season ticket money from the stay-away fans? Just because they're rich doesn't mean that they can afford to lose a few million quid. Also, the unsavoury situation they've created by failing to relieve Kean of the reins hasn't just antagonised a large section of the fans, it's also driven the vast majority of sponsors away and failed to attract any new ones. If they didn't care about the loss of revenue then why are they continually offering special ticket prices to try and entice supporters back? The club ARE concerned by the home gate receipts but they're hoping that our results will bring fans back in their thousands, although I wouldn't be holding my breath if I was them. If we somehow hadn't managed to win all our home games, in spite of our performances, then I'm pretty certain Kean's future would already be looking far more bleak. A defeat or two will surely see Kean's position come under more scrutiny. Until then nothing is going to change.

You are absolutely right - utter moronic comments "Venkys are rich so do you think it bothers them that you boycotting fans/ex-sponsers are costing them £4-£5m per annum - er YES !!!!

Are these "spartans" (they are usually called collaborators in other walks of life) don't realise that last year we made the largest losses in our clubs history and this year it will be even greater - but Mrs D won't bother about that cos she's already rich ? yeah right.

Also, we don't acually KNOW the current financial position at Ewood as Venkys are currently breaking UK laws as they have failed to file their accounts on time - still as long as we are top of the league then all these self proclaimed "spartans" don't seem to give a parrots **** about small inconveniences like the clubs finances or our owners failing to comply with UK laws.

Speaking about MORONS, so what you are saying is your club is going to post an even bigger loss this year and this is something to be proud about?, what an arsehole you sound. If you are intent on putting your club into administration and are willing to risk it folding forever. You are an absolute arsehole of the highest order. ARSEHOLE

The club won't go into administration as there are still millions of pounds to come from parachute payments over the next couple of seasons. The stay-away fans are telling the owners that they won't put a penny into the club until Steve Kean has been sacked. Until that day comes Venky's will have to make up the lost revenue from their own pockets, something that they didn't seem willing to do until it was too late and, no-doubt, something they won't relish doing again should we fail to get promoted. Even they're not so stupid as to let the club get into financial difficulty for the sake of one man.

As for this 'Spartan' nonsense, if only the people attending Ewood Park are true supporters can you explain the arguing amongst fans that has happened at EVERY home game so far this season. Also, explain the, "one-nil and we want Kean out!", chant that reverberated around Ewood Park when we played against Hull City?

Its easy to explain the chant against hull, We want steve kean out, we are not saying lets keep him as manager for the long haul.

Someone commented earlier saying who's fault is it we are in this mess, whilst the finger can be pointed at the venky's. We the fans also need to take some of the blame. As soon as venkys came in we all wanted rid of big sam for a better style of football. Well what didnt imagine is no-one wanting the job bar kean.

Stay away thats fine, me ill turn up and cheer on the SIDE that is on the pitch, not the men in suits. My money isnt going in venky's pockets its going in the players pockets in way of wages.

Parachute payments well I would say they have thrown the first one of them into the playing side of it after realising they made a huge mistake over the last two years in trying to reduce costs too quickly, its backfired on them big time, they know it and we know it.


Everyone is saying stay away tomorrow night as the game is on sky? Wouldnt it be better to fill the ground and everyone where the protest colour of yellow and stay silent that will send a clearer message to them. First thing that will be said about an empty stadium is well weve been relegated, its a friday night people are shattered after a hard days work and with it being on sky and miserable weather they stayed at home to watch the game

Operation 'Empty Ewood Park' should see the end for Keanochio the King of the Pan Stars before the end of 2012 AD.

Whats all this Spartan rubbish. It makes you sound like a right nob or maybe your 9 years old, then I appologise. Put your milk and Oreos down, have your say, but drop the Spartan stuff its cringeworthy to say the least.

I do have a team, I do have a season ticket and I support my Team Blackburn Rovers, YOU do not and don't have a say about a team that you don't support, obsessed by a manager of a team you have no ties to is bordering on idiotic, get over it and move on you fools. I continue so support MY team and enjoy each game that I attend, so much better this year without the morons who constantly dragged the atmosphere down by the endless winging and moaning. My team I have one, COYB

Spoken like a true spartan, our numbers are growing, soon we will fill ewood and the stayaway naysayers will watch soccer sat on TV where they used to be before 95

Whats all this Spartan rubbish. It makes you sound like a right nob or maybe your 9 years old, then I appologise. Put your milk and Oreos down, have your say, but drop the Spartan stuff its cringeworthy to say the least.

Yeah I know. Just trying to be as annoying as possible. Isn't it really annoying when someone keeps papping on every day saying the same stuff?? Now you know what it feels like. Every day, every chuffing day, Kean out venky out kean out venky out FFS, so I come up with my own annoying bullsh@t to fit right in with the bulshisters and annoy the living sheite out of them like they annoy the living sheite out of me.
Works a treat.
One of the 8000 soon to be more.

"If we equal Blackpools acheivement"

You compare BRFC to Blackpool, a few facts for you to digest,
1. OO spent a long time in jail for very serious offences.
2. OO declared large payments to himself from BFC income
3. CA took BFC to court over non payment of bonus.
4. BFC sell players for profit. % of profits went to individuals
5. IH was not sacked when relegated
6. BFC concede goals and did so in the prem
7 IH did not get bfc promoted last year
and still did not get sacked
8 IH has managed 3 clubs that were relegated.
9. a true indication of our true league position is top
So Blackpool are very similar to ourselves , apart from fans not going.
We got relegated deal with it.

Wow rant over? I was referring to their 4 1 win nothing more!

Dont like facts then do you but you are happy to quote Blackpool as a comparison to BRFC but overlook things that have gone on.
have a look back at some of your posts and look at what u`ve been saying about sk and venkys

For goodness sake I have POSITIVELY NO interest in Blackpool F C I was only saying that if we do not at least equal their score against MFC then we are in a false position in the league.

So get down ewood and live the dream.

RUinsane I was told by a regular poster on here that you in fact supported Burnley and came here as a wind up, now another regular informs me that you in fact work inside the club??

Anyway my fellow Boycotter lets see if we can beat the record low in over 20 years for the third time this season on Friday night.

That would make a lot of sense and I'm not really surprised, the dirty tricks have been going on for a long time at Ewood, remember the 1%.

interesting about Agnew junior, might as well keep it in the family.

No, his comment was a reference to the Blackpool's win over Middlesbrough and each sides current league position. That was all. You decided to make it into something that it wasn't based on previous comments made regarding one of the teams in question. There really wasn't any need for you to do that.

Well, what an interesting day! I have just ploughed through the above comments. What strikes you right away is the sudden surge in pro Kean Venky contributors. The PRO at Ewood, who ever he may be this week is obviously on overtime. He is furiously typing away at his keyboard constantly inventing user names to add to the Dingles who bombard us with their inane ramblings. Usually consisting of trying to insult the boycotters, who in the main are long standing fans simply fed up with the goings on at Ewood Park. Between doing this he sends out thousands of emails to the stay awayers urging them to get down to watch the team. I get a lot of junk mail but now I seem to get most of it from Ewood Park. They must be getting very desperate. I may reply to one telling them that the moment Kean goes then I will return. Hopefully all the other boycotters will also follow suit. What a party that day will be. I can't wait.

Well that says it all J C Rishton you talk utter rubbish, you are not a Rovers fan that is obvious and you are not a supporter that is obvious too, so stop obsessing about a club that you don't support and have disowned you are just a nobody jumping on to the band wagon trying to be the big I am, with look at me! Look at me!.... get over it! I am a fan of Blackburn Rovers and I am a supporter, I hold a season ticket and cheer on my team each week, it is my team because I support them, it's not your team you have disowned them, grow up and get a life! Blackburn Rovers is better off without the wingers and moaners like J C Rushton, fare weather supporters with no sence of loyalty and of no back bone. We don't want you back at Ewood! I will support MY club and my team COYB!

What utter rubbish from Cryer. It's not just about Kean. It is the Venky's who were instrumental in ruining our club, Kean is just their puppet. So we are at the top now because Venky's see it as the only way to save their money. If Kean goes people will return but they will always have reservations over Venky's. Personally I thinks they are not capable of financing a Premier league club so that remains to be seen.

The feedback he has personally received from fans has been more encouraging in recent times, much more.

We get lots of emails and hand written letters. Any time you meet people in town it's all positive messages.

Kean I suggest you read the bloggs on the LT and stop lying.

The feedback he has personally received from fans has been more encouraging in recent times, much more.

We get lots of emails and hand written letters. Any time you meet people in town it's all positive messages.

Kean I suggest you read the bloggs on the LT and stop lying.

Kean 90% of fans wang you out NOW.

It makes you laugh doesn't it, when has Kean ever met anybody in town? and we Rovers fans must be the most literate of all supporters of any Club constanly penning letters to the deluded one.
Now where's my quill, one must scroll a letter to Mr Teflon, oh what to write....
How about 'Kean Out' It doesn't sound like he's got one of those?

It has got a bit silly hasn't it?
