Warning over Ewood fan exodus (From Lancashire Telegraph)

two down here, count us out.

Bombard venkys with emails
KEAN OUT KEAN OUT KEAN OUT

Cant believe there are 5 -6 thousand who would want to watch that tripe.

3 not buying here. Why give money to Venkys and Kean? The 5-6000 renewers should be ashamed. You are Agnew's wet dream. He will spin your presence at Ewood for all it's worth.

well they need to start letting people know what is going on with kean etc whats all this keeping it quiet fromthe fans on his future? its not like venkys and kean to have a lack of comunication with the fans is it?

I have tried them all, they just bounce back... even been on their twitter and business recruitment sites... The Venk's know how strong the feeling is about them and the pratt Kean. Thing is they just don't care..

I'm surprised it's only 20%. I don't know anyone who is renewing with Kean involved in any capacity. It is time all that has gone on is laid bare for all to see. Just what power does Kean have at Ewood and how has he managed to gain such power?

Me and my brother are 2 of the people that won't be going until Kean is removed and drastic changes are made to how the club is run. And I'm not sure that will happen until new owners are brought in. It's gonna hurt not going, but hopefully it's gonna hurt Venky's more.

Whichever way they try to dress this debacle up Venkys have just stuck two fingers up at the lifeblood of our club.How can any fan have respect and confidence in anything they are trying to do.Time and again when the opportunity to put things right and attempt to build bridges and have rappor with the fans they blow it big style.I think between 5 and 6 thousand season ticket sales just goes to show our disgust , but obviously it still falls on deaf ears,nothing short of a total boycott will rattle these idiots so dont listen to any lies that start comming out of Ewood especially now Superfan Agnew is in position Kean out ,Venkys out.

I am sure he will be able to bounce the email on to the appropriate email account.

5-6 thousand! Wow! The atmosphere at Ewood next season's going to be ELECTRIC!!!

Kean in=fans out.
Kean out=fans in.
It couldn't be much simpler. Send that to agnew.

Didn't tthink it'd take long before a flee bitten B*rnley hyena commented.

Yeah...6000 season ticket holders whilst the club is in melt down.

That's half your average home attendance.

Howe many ST's have B*rnley sold?

As far as I'm concerned anyone drawing a wage from this mess - and claiming to be a Rovers supporter - is a mercenary. That goes for Agnew and Robert Coar. The latter should be particularly ashamed.

I'm not trying to argue with you here, but if you were employed at Rovers as a life long fan working in admin or something like that, would you quit?

I'm not talking about Agnew here, never even heard of him till tuther day, just asking like.

James Fallon, 25, of Blackburn: “I am one of the few who will be renewing because I am supporting the players and the club. I believe having more fans in the stadium will make us a more attractive proposition to any buyers out there.
No you are lining the pockets of the criminals in charge.....

My anger is so great at the moment that i will try anything.... However, a quick Q for you.... do you believe that the Venky's care a jot about what the fans think? It is my belief that even if they were visited by the ghost of "Uncle Jack, they would continue to "rape the rovers"

James Fallon said "I believe having more fans in the stadium will make us a more attractive proposition to any buyers out there."
This is not so. Any prospective buyer will be well aware that attendances are only down because of the present situation and will revert to normal once Kean, and preferably also Venkys have gone.

Yet again the tripe about Mrs Desai being the only stumbling block to Kean's exit is wheeled out. Is ANYONE buying that garbage anymore?
Kean has relegated the club, which will cost tens of millions this season alone, he has driven away supporters which further reduces revenue and he is also about to visit a law suit on the club. Yet Mrs Desai thinks he should stay because she likes shopping with his wife?
We have been asked to believe the unbelievable all season, and guess what, it has been a pack of lies from start to finish!

The Venky's had and still have an opportunity to get the fans back on board with one act. Get rid of the monkey. There may well be others, but to make no statement of intent at all makes me think they don't want to build bridges. If kean keeps flying over saying everything is ace, when the balance sheets go back he can no longer hide it with ****.
If they want the fans back dunk the doughnut, its that simple.

REMEMBER

There is still time, you CAN ask for a refund, this is happening as we speak, don't put money into there pockets until At least Kean has gone,

Don't tell me you are supporting the club and the players, the clubs in turmoil and watch your beloved players leave one by one very shortly.

Don't buy a ST and if you have get a Full Refund, you can do this by law, it's not to late,

Come on be a real supporter and save your club!!

Andy, is there any way you can find out if that tool and his wife have f*cked off on some exotic holiday ? I'm wondering if that's why it's gone silent ... he's probably bigging himself up in Jamaica after a few cocktails and a spliff. If you find out, please let me know the address. Thanks in advance.

BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT - don 't give them any of your money. Freeze the cash flow - remember the short term pain of administration will be eased by the long term gain!

They behave like we do not even exist.

I cannot believe the sheer contempt they are treating us with.

It is astonishing.

Venkys will not even think about selling the club whilst still being funded by people lining their pockets. Seems some fans are just as stupid as kean n venkys think you are. Unbelievable. Hope your happy with the 20-30quid you have saved. Kean is laughing at you.

If kean stays im not even watching games online for free.

have already got my season ticket for next season but wont be going with this crackpot at the club.will be going to chorley to support a couple of old rovers players.stuff kean and the horse he rode in on.

I haven't renewed - and won't until Kean is dismissed. I was actually one of the few prepared to give him another chance at the start of last season - he has had his chance now - it is time for him to admit defeat and resign. The longer the club persist with him - the more foundation they give to some of the (what appeared) ridiculous rumours going around. The Venky's couldn't have done a better job ruining our club if they had been Burnley fans - now there is a thought !

Maybe one or two of the 5-6000 muppets which have renewed would like too come on here and explain why............anyon
e...........I'm still waiting. Funding this regime is NOT supporting your club.

BOYCOTT IS THE WAY FORWARD!! Hold them accountable for their gross mis-management of BRFC. Just don't renew and don't go!!
It's simple . . . . .
HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE !!

Message to all those who have or who are thinking of renewing their season tickets:- if they are of the view that Kean should be completely removed from the club, or even Venkys as well, can they not see that putting money into their coffers is only prolonging the time to when this aim can be achieved? As long as the Venkys can financially sustain the club they will still be here, so as painful as it may be to withdraw financial support for the club, in the long term it will be well worth it.

This mrs desai thing is aload of rubbish its a excuse to keep kean in a job because she's apparently clueless! Dont be fooled none of them are clueless there doing a great job in stripping our club. No other chairman in all 4 divisions would of kept kean on with his record and the way he's turned fan against fan. He's lost the dressing room and board but who do they sack? Yes the one's that want the best for the club! He's in on the grand plan to strip us down to the core then fob us off with the other crooks "one that cant be mentioned". Me and two mates all from lancaster and season ticket holders for over 15years will not be re-newing till they've all f**ked off be it league 2 or unibond we'll be back when there gone and they've done there job! Away games only next season RTID.....

Madari the snake charmer says:

Bunch of liers, this has nothing to do with venkies or kean.

The fact of the matter is that all these deluded glory hunting fans have for a long time thought that being in the premier league was/is a `Devine right`and now they know that they will NEVER EVER be in the top flight they are all blaming the good Mr Kean & the Venhies......Hahahah
aha!!!!!get real get lost into oblivion....hahahaha

Can't expect anyone in there right mind giving this lot there hard earned money. What for? Lets just hope no news is good news and keanocchio as gone and then maybe there can be some hope for the future cos at the moment we are doomed!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's time to stop the fighting amongst ourselves... You call the people that have bought ST's "muppets" to a v large degree i too believe that they are misguided and that their actions support both Kean and the Venky's, however, I can also see their reasoning that they wish to show support to the players (what few we have left).
Whilst fans continue to argue amongst themselves we are simply wasting time and energy that could be used against the "real enemies" Kean and the clueless owners...

Madari.

Shouldn't you be at school? Also, it's 'divine' not ' devine' by the way.

Pot the monkey

Used to have a neighbour whose husband treated her like a punchbag. She'd go but come back because "I love him!" Time after time. After many visits to A+E and many years she finally left before he finished her off. After 20+ years she's almost the person she was before she met her husband.
It's not quite the same but if you buy a ST you are being used and abused. You keep going back for more because "It's my club and I love it." Sometimes it takes courage to walk away and say enough is enough until kean and venkys go. I won't be a victim any longer.
It breaks my heart after 46+ years of support but I can't support these people in any way any more.

Not worried about the fan exodus, they'll always come back. A bit more concerned about the player exodus and who would want to come in. Now thats a problem.

Madari who gives a flying f**k what your opinion is your just an anoying little tick get back to whence you came dingle t**d!

I wouldn't call it 'fighting among ourselves'. It's just trying to make the fans who are renewing see that it is just prolonging the agony. In sure the players know that it is the management we are against, not the players (especially if they read this paper).

What a set of top supporters - keep using the "I am not renewing until Venkys/Steve Kean/Anderson/Kentar
o are removed" etc etc excuse, whereas we all really know that you don't fancy forking out to watch Peterborough United at home and THAT is the real reason no matter how you attempt to dress it up.

I don't know how many season tickets we've sold, I haven't seen it mentioned and I haven't asked. Why do you replace the 'u' in Burnley with an '*'? I'm curious.

Can someone ask this new Director of Communications one simple question:

"What will Steve Kean's role be next season?"

Perhaps he can communicate this to us all and earn some of that new improved salary.

If he doesn't answer that perhaps he can answer a second question:

"Does he actually know himself
what Kean's role will be next season?"

It is staggering that we are still in the dark. Are Venky's really taking the mickey here or what? Appointing a new Director of communications whose first statement is to say he will endeavour to improve communication and then leaving everyone in the dark?

Not worried about that either. In fact the quicker they leave the sooner the club goes t*ts up and we get a new owner in with a new manager. Then the fans will come back and we will be more attractive to players

15000 saeson tickets sold last season,i make that between 7 and 8000 who paid to get on the last match against Wigan for the last Premiership match, depite knowing exactly what was going.Wonder where they fit in?

Blimey. Lot of kids playing truant today!

For all you people out there who have bought Season Tickets,I say you are prolonging the sickness that is now Blackburn Rovers.
I know you say you want to support your team,but it is no longer your team but a toy to be played with by the owners.
I must then ask who the real owners are? there are many theorys one being that Kean and his agent have part of that ownership. If that be the case anyone investing in the club by means of tickets,shirts etc are just lining the pockets of those who have ruined who have ruined it.

Since the departure of Paul Hunt there has been no-one at Ewood to contact to register our displeasure with developments.
I therefore agree with earlier comments that the only thing that fans can now do is to bombard Venkys with emails.
I'm already writing to Venkys every day and if all the fans on this forum did the same it may well influence their decisions.

For the 20/30 quid you have saved make a statement and get a REFUND, it's not to late, I am not having a go at loyal supporters who have misguidedly bought a tickect thinking we would still be in the PL but we aren't now so ask for a refund and support the cause, it's not to late.

as can be seen above with the usual tripe from the dingles filled with vehoment jealousy.... we have to be careful how the we approach 'this boycott' which seems to be the accepted way to deal with these leeches.

Make no mistake the fans money does make a difference.

But we leave ourselves open to two problems:

1. The old dingle chesnut about support
(I know .... boring boring and a load of crap) nevertheless we can show that to be nonesense by boycotting home games but selling out every away game and showing our support their.
Whilst I appreciate there still is a financial implication it highlights to the media that we are not going to be a party to the dismantling of our club.
And it satisfies the genuine issues some fans have with the premis we should support our club through thick and thin .... a genuine and admirable point.

2. A warning from the past.
When Rovers won the FA Cup in 1960, there was a big furore about mishandling of funds and the sale of tickets.... many Rovers fans missing out, whilst the usual Players selling hundreds on the black market etc...
A section of Rovers fans boycotted the games the next season and never went back again because they felt like their grievances were never properly dealt with.
Now if that should happen with the 1000's that are refusing to go next season and they decide that what the hell its too expensive and they need the money for other things ..... so now they have broke the habit .... then we have a similar problem to the 60's when we lost and never recovered a huge number of fans.

I am just thinking how to galvanise the protest/boycott but still keep the fans with the team as worried it could turn into a disaster and destroy us completely.

Agreed, for me too many under performed and I'll be glad to see the back of them MGP, Dunn & NZonzi are the main 3. But what sort of player can we now attract, over paid, under achieving has beens? Roberts and Heskey front 2 next season!

Two from Wales won't be renewing while Kean is still there.
KEAN OUT VENKYS OUT.

Yes, I'm actually waiting for that Scoobi Doo moment. When someone pins down the Janitor that is Steve Kean, rips off his rubber mask revealing Andy Payton underneath, and he would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for those pesky kids.
Send in the mystery machine.

I imagine their intentions are to wait until the Euro Cup and hope the distractions will amount to little reaction within the media.
The greatest insult to fans, would be to retain conman Kean in ANY capacity within the club.
These supporters that have renewed before knowing the set-up for the future of the club NEED TO GET INTO THE REAL WORLD !!
Then again, there is non so blind as those that cannot see...
For the thoughtful majority of supporters they can see there is more then meets the eyes and NEVER will the present owners/managers offer any real passion and EVER be accepted again after the debacle of the last 20 months.
THEY (VENKY,S & KEAN) DO NOT SHOWN ANY HONEST CONCERN TOWARDS THE FANS AND OBVIOUSLY HAVE THEIR OWN AGENDA.
IT IS TIME TO RETURN THE COMPLIMENT AND FOR A 100% BOYCOTT ON ANY SUPPORT, NO MATTER WHAT IS FORMAT....UNTIL THEY GO.

I registered my displeasure with the club via the website, under the 'Contact us' link. You're wasting your time though. I just got a standard response...."thank you for your comments.....can't respond to individual ones....have noted your views and will take on board etc etc. blah blah blah.

"WHEN THE ROVERS WON THE FA CUP IN 1960"!!!!!!
What is that about? They LOST the FA Cup in 1960, to Wolves. 3-0. I was there. How long have you been a fan?

'support our players' -- isn't it about time they supported us, i.e. Dunny the life-long Rovers supporter.

56% not renewing, I think the figure will be higher than that. The venky's have lost 5 renewals with me and my family. There were not a lot of people not renewing where I sat on Blackburn End. These are people who have had ST's for many years even when we were relegated previously.
I will be attending Ewood on matchdays to protest. If all those who don't like what is happening stay outside the ground it'll send a very clear message.

I dont understand the reasoning behind the comments sacking kean wont make everything ok not in the slightest.

For all you know they could sack him and make bring in a new Steve Kean or better yet an Indian version of him.

Kean has alot to answer for yes but it took them this long to get rid of Kean but how long will it take to get a new manager?

I wonder about some people on here 'i will renew when Kean is gone' ok then just give your money to the the people who paid him to what seems to be deliberately relegating us.

I am in no way sticking up for Kean I want him gone as much as anyone but your an idiot if you think such a small decision would change anything.

If it's true that Kean is staying then it will be nothing less than a total disgrace.

Forget about season tickets next season. Those that want to go shouldn't be abused in any way for doing so. Those that do go hate Kean just as much as the rest. That's what will hurt them just as much.

It shows that those who want to stay away hate Kean. And those who just want to go and watch Rovers still hate Kean.

Where are the Kean supporters then?

Steve Kean is still at our football club, but which fan supports him?

He is a total and utter disgrace. No-one wants him at Rovers.

46 years a season ticket holder but no more until the Venky's leave.

46 years a season ticket holder but no more until the Venky's leave.

2 not buying here. Kean out, Venkys out.

Make no mistake the fans money does make a difference.

But we leave ourselves open to two problems:

1. The old dingle chesnut about support
(I know .... boring boring and a load of crap) nevertheless we can show that to be nonesense by boycotting home games but selling out every away game and showing our support their.
Whilst I appreciate there still is a financial implication it highlights to the media that we are not going to be a party to the dismantling of our club.
And it satisfies the genuine issues some fans have with the premis we should support our club through thick and thin .... a genuine and admirable point.

2. A warning from the past.
When Rovers won the FA Cup in 1960, there was a big furore about mishandling of funds and the sale of tickets.... many Rovers fans missing out, whilst the usual Players selling hundreds on the black market etc...
A section of Rovers fans boycotted the games the next season and never went back again because they felt like their grievances were never properly dealt with.
Now if that should happen with the 1000's that are refusing to go next season and they decide that what the hell its too expensive and they need the money for other things ..... so now they have broke the habit .... then we have a similar problem to the 60's when we lost and never recovered a huge number of fans.

I am just thinking how to galvanise the protest/boycott but still keep the fans with the team as worried it could turn into a disaster and destroy us completely.

"WHEN THE ROVERS WON THE FA CUP IN 1960"!!!!!!
What is that about? They LOST the FA Cup in 1960, to Wolves. 3-0. I was there. How long have you been a fan?

I thought that but I get where he is coming from if people change their spending habits they may never return we get the majority back but that few thousand always made a difference to the atmosphere

it would be excellent to have mass away support next season wherever we go.

I will be attending Ewood on matchdays to protest. If all those who don't like what is happening stay outside the ground it'll send a very clear message.

I agree. That's what we should do. I'm going to be there with you (I don't agree with knocking those who want to attend though).

We know who is to blame - Kean / Venkys / Anderson. Why would they care so little about the fans? Don't they know how important a football club is to it's fans? They are a disgrace to football.

Kean out=fans in.
Pot the monkey.

To the five or six thousand that have saved a few measly quid by renewing early.... You should be ashamed... You are just as guilty and responsible as VENKYS KEAN Anderson and the criminals!!!

Well done!

SCABS!

12k max on Ewood for the first home match - unless it is against Burnley, Bolton or Blackpool or maybe Leeds or one of the Sheffield clubs.

Obviously they have asked the wrong 100 fans in the more wealthier parts of Blackburn where they can afford to give their money away. I dont believe for a minute 54% represents the majority.

I have renewed my season tickets and will be there for as many games as I can next season trying my best to encourage whatever team we manage to put out!

One very simple reason, I am a fan and always will be.

I don't see it as a choice it is what I am. I was there long before Kean (is he really worse than Jim Illey?) and will be there long after.

You might think I am a muppet, I really couldn't give a monkeys, where have all you protests got you? If you put the players off in just 2 games, you are as responsible as the management for our relegation

Rovers' pre-season plans are taking further shape with the confirmation of another local friendly.

Steve Kean's side will take on Rochdale at Spotland on Wednesday July 25th, kick-off 7.30pm.

The rovers website seems confident he will still be in charge for pre season.

My father (87) has watched Rovers since he was 9, Me (49) have watched Rovers since I was 9 and my son (17) has watched Rovers since he was 7, that is 128 years in total, but we will NOT be back until this parasite Kean has gone. What do we have to do to get the message thruogh to Venky's?

Oh, and I e.mailed our new Director of Comms yesterday but have not had a reply, but nothing new there then.

Somebody voiced an opinion that not buying a St will put off potential buyers. Well I say it won't. All potential buyers will be aware that the fans will return in their droves as soon as SK and the Venky's are gone. Me included after nearly 60 years of support. I am NOT giving a penny to this regime. I like to buy merchandise from the shop but no more til they are gone!

Results don't matter, relegation doesn't matter, having a video with him caught swearing and abusing fellow managers and engaging in abusive talk with supporters doesn't matter. Alienating most of the fans doesn't matter, getting a conviction for drink driving doesn't matter, spinning lie after lie doesn't matter. So please tell us dear owners, what does matter?

The B**tards aren't getting any of my money
Thieves and vagabonds the lot of them.

I've said since last October that I wouldn't give Venkys another penny, and I'm sticking to it.
Last few anti Kean/Venkys stickers are available (ebay items 270967138045 and 270967139156)

Allowing these parasitic, devious scoundrels to take advantage of YOUR:

Loyalty
Commitment
Devotion
Passion

Is **** eyed beyond belief.

Supporting your club does have a limit in what your prepared to allow ?

If what you have witnessed thus far is acceptable then, in my opinion, you are shirking responsibility at a very high cost to this 136 year institution.

We always knew that BRFC was in need of restructuring and, along with this could come some lean times but, what we should all demand is that the club is protected from that which as unfolded.

Let us not forget here this has not been achieved through mindful consideration but, wanton vandalism of the most brutal kind.

Egoistical lunacy.
A total and acknowledged lack of experience in this particular field.
An absolute disregard for our dignity, honor and beliefs for our club.
Zero communication resulting in promoting mass upheaval from both parties.
Lies that have made many peoples eye water and, still they carry on.
Accusations that have tarnished both parties in so far that it may never be repaired ?

And in the middle of this the most important element:

BLACKBURN ROVERS FOOTBALL CLUB

Both parties are now locked in a battle of wills.

Thus far they have done nothing to install a believe that they have the best interests of BRFC at heart.

Just look at the latest mind boggling non decision making. Still we wait for a decision on Keans future.

Our club is in total paralysis and, if last seasons pre-season is anything to go by which resulted in relegation then the omens do not look good for this season.

I will not allow these people to take advantage of what I know I possess for BRFC until they begin the process of achieving stability once again for this great club.

Do not allow these purported owners to royally shaft that which you loyally hold until they begin the process of reciprocating.

18 months of abject failure.

Do not relent.

Fans who pay money out of their own pocket to renew or newly buy a season ticket are condoning everything that Venkys/Anderson/Kent
aro/SEM/Kean/Agnew have done to BRFC and its supporters.

At an absolute minimum KEAN OUT and his malign influence ostracised from the club.

Three fans not renewed last season following Wolves and Everton farces at home. Remaining two not renewing until KEAN OUT.

For the 20/30 quid you have saved make a statement and get a REFUND, it's not to late, I am not having a go at loyal supporters who have misguidedly bought a tickect thinking we would still be in the PL but we aren't now so ask for a refund and support the cause, it's not to late.

As is being said it is quite hard to understand those getting ST's now in order to save a few quid, when they admit to and agree that Venkys and Kean are bad for BRFC and must go.
When they claim they are not doing it to save a few quid but to support the players and the club;
Firstly, the majority of the players care not a fig about you, and they get handsomely paid whether you are there or not. And that is all that matters to them.
Secondly, this 'club' you say you are supporting? I know of a Venkys FC that play at Ewood, but thats about it. BRFC as far as I am concerned is, for the time being in hibernation and will re-emerge with the departure of Venkys and Kean.
So for the time being they can run their circus without me there.

I think you need to grow a pair, pal.

Clearly Desai has decided to strategically delay the announcement to keep Kean on at the club, as she knows it is unpopular and she wants to reduce the bad feeling that she knows will be created. If she waits until Euro 2012 to kick off on June 8th, the news will be buried in the mass media with most of the attention on England.
-
I had thought though that Desai atleast understood about the finances. It is financial suicide to keep on Kean as manager, as the supporters will simply boycott the club in droves if she keeps him on. The protests will also continue and not create a nice atmosphere at the club either, to move the club forward.
-
So in conclusion, clearly the decision has been made to keep Kean on at the club. The communication has been delayed as Desai is deluded enough to think that by delaying it she can reduce the anger that will be felt at this decision.
-
I am sorry DESAI we are absolutely furious and whether you wait until the day before pre-season starts to announce this or whatever- if Kean is at the club we will boycott and we will protest. YOU UNDERSTAND PLEB?

What also angers me even more is that she thinks that if she delays the announcement then this somehow makes the decision less badly received. As if we will somehow forget and all will be forgiven. What an arrogant clueless idiot this Desai is and her goffer brothers are!

Guilty and responsible as Kean. Listen to yourself and get a grip.

You are actually doing the worst thing possible by dividing the fans so stop.

All these people ae premiersh*t fans and only ever went to deadwood to see their favourite teams anyway!!

Here's a simple question - I'm not having a go at anybody, just asking:
.
Which scenario is likely to force change quicker?
.
1, An empty stadium every week, no money spent on tickets, food or merchandise?
.
2. A full stadium, watching the same setup and ignoring the problems surrounding the club but we look good to potential buyers?
.
I'm truly not trying to start an argument and I'm not calling anyone any names but surely we shoud unite and do what's in the long term best for our club?

Perhaps all you ST renewers could at least forfeit the first home game of the season to show the owners that you strongly disapprove of them. Or perhaps refuse to enter the ground for the first half hour or so. I am sure there will be a mass protest outside the ground for the first match so you could at least join in with that first.

venkys are not listening and there need to go and kean what we want is the club sold,we been true 18 months of hell.

The fans are rightly so going to stay away who can blame them.

This club is on its last leg.

The long term best interests of the club are KEAN OUT VENKYS OUT. This has been the case since the end of last season. By starving a parasite you end up killing them.
-
Once they are gone we can be purchased by good honest British owners who will run the club well again, like it was before the Indian parasites got their hands on the club and asset stripped everything to **** and got us relegated.

whatever way you look at this 5-6k supporters is shocking and relevant to the times we face at present. I think we are all of the opinion SK will be at Rovers in a 'management' capcity even if they bring an understudy to do his job. The silence following last weeks showdown talks speaks volumes and the simple fact of the matter is..the club belongs to Venkys who will run it as they see fit. Traditions are out of the window, they don't give a flying doodaa about the legacy of Jack Walker and the fans are just that, we have no vested interest in the club, we just support.

The club sinking ship must continue in order for the vultures to have fed enough and fly on...we will be left with a rotten corpse of a club that only the brave and genuine can follow. As a fan, and a season ticket renewer, I do not accept 'shame' for supporting the club I have been watching over 30 years. The decision is based on what I know and enjoy, the players who will perform against the likes of Derby, Barnsley, Burnley, will of course try their best and that is what I will do in support....the owners and management of the club can go to hell as they mean nothing to me, therefore we share a mutual respect.

The club however means the world to me and whilst BRFC is still in exsistence, then I will remain, its a point of principle and in the end, unless we die, we go nowhere as supporters, however the club owners and their followers eventually do!!!

Pp...although I fully respect your choice to renew. "the owners and management can go to hell...." sorry but they won't whilst people who renew continue to give them money. Once their income has dried up they will vanish forever.

Agree absolutely however, 'the mystery surrounding Kean' quotes are a red herring...and bo!!ocks............
Theres no mystery he is Venky's puppet and will remain so this next season.....Totally fed up with Equivalent of a 'Carry on managing a Football team ' Bollywood production...
Left Rovers half way through last season now supporting Chorley - Gary Flitcroft/ Matt Jansen Team.....Anyone else for a change???

The players we have at the club now are no way good enough to get us out of the championship. It needs good old fashioned British grafters. By the time all this management upheaval is settled it will be too late to bring in the required players, after the mass exodus that will shortly happen. We will be starting the season with free transfers and academy players not likely to start the season with a bang.

You've not thought this through at all. 5-6000 season ticket holders will make us a nice profitable League 2 side after all Venky said they wanted to run a "profitable club" by renewing you will help them achieve this goal.

Season ticket sales of around 2000 will stop the club being profitable at any level and a new strategy will be needed. The argument that "I will always support the team" will take us further and further down. The best way to help your team is to starve Venkys of cash. Nobody is expecting you to stop watching for ever but you are correct, the protests so far have got us nowhere as the owners are not present so this is the logical next step.

If you are simply looking for something to do on a Saturday afternoon then there are other clubs who would welcome your support eg Chorley, Accrington etc. I personally am off to Fleetwood at the start of the season until this mess is sorted out.

For some people going to Rovers of a match day is like going to church.

If it's true that Kean is staying in any capacity at Rovers then I'm not going to be there, but I would never hold it against someone who just always wanted to go to the match. It doesn't mean they dislike Kean any less.

We certainly shouldn't be abusing or even cajoling anyone with their decision to renew ST's. Everyone knows what's going on, everyone knows how deeply unhappy we all are with Kean, but the truth is this new protest of not buying season tickets may not even work. I agree with it wholeheartedly, but no matter how much we want it to, it may not work.

The best thing to get our message across would be on match day, those who feel they want to go being united in chorus of "Kean out" with the thousands outside the ground.

It would show that none of the fans at all want Kean anywhere near our club.

Don't give up the fight - reduce the cash flow so that even the money coming in from the transfer market doesn't help.
.
Come on Rovers see it through to the bitter end, fan power and all that. Administration will allow BRIC and BRIST and Khan etc to purchase the club at a reduced price.
.
Administration isn't the end and who knows, you could actually win a few games this season so that the 10 point deduction doesn't hamper you too much:-)

The Championship is a physical tough league, played at a much higher tempo than the premier league. Rovers poorest results last season, came against the bottom 8 clubs- the games in which we needed British bulldog fighting spirit to win.
-
I expect that the players we get next season will be more dodgy foreign players, with no experience of the english league. These are purchased primarily due to the influence of agents and to benefit from the bungs and the sell on fees involves down the line, and not for good of the teams performance.

The odd free transfer cast off here and there, and supplemented as you say with some youth players.
-
The transfer policy is not designed to get us straight back to the premier league it is designed to milk more milk from the cow.

told they could buy a premiership club and have no day to day running of the club, he would sort thatout, they could invest in the club , take their initial investment out and over the next 2-3 years take 10-15 million out of the club. They would run the club down and by the time it all kicked off if necessary they would put the club into liquidation. Blackburn were the lucky club!
The longer people renew season tickets and give any cash flow to the club the longer the Venkys will stay. Vote with your feet to try and damage the reputation of Venkys as a brand and dont go back until they have left. See you in league 2. Sad Rover.

I don't see it as a choice it is what I am. I was there long before Kean (is he really worse than Jim Illey?) and will be there long after.

I think you need to grow a pair, pal.

It's not about growing a pair, it's about making their own decisions.

We are all fans and we are all trying to do what's best for the club, in whatever way we see fit.

Our protests so far have got us nowhere it seems. What we need to be therefore is united not apart.

I personally think we shouldn't be attending the match and should instead be protesting outside (the more the better), but I appreciate some would rather attend.

We all want what's best for the club.

Don't lose sight of who the enemy is by turning on each other.

As with any rival true fans there is bound to be banter at the others misfortune. As a true fan of BFC I can commiserate with those fans of BRFC who are of the same ilk.

As a BFC supporter for over 60 years I have been through all the highs and lows to have some empathy towards true BRFC fans and that is why they are renewing not because they consider themselves of supporting the owners/manager.

Whatever the reasons/cause for Venky buying your club whilst they own it they make all the decisions which can only be taken away from them is if the club goes into liquidation. What is deplorable are some of the comments made implying violence to the manager and his family - no matter how bad a club is doing justifies such deplorable statements.

As a true fan of the game I wish BRFC good luck next season they will need it with 8 extra games to play and the rounds of Tues/Sat matches that come in the thick of winter and of course they will really need it when the meet BFC

Ironically having a smaller crowd may make us a more attractive proposition. Poor sales mean Venkys will have to ask for less and any potential buyers will know that there will be a huge increase in revenue once the club is sold.

Yes he's worst than Illey,he got potted after after a dozen games or so this Idiot just keeps on and on.

If you follow the logic on here, if you go to a game and shout as much abuse as you can at the management and the owners it will mean that the team are more likely to lose the game.

If it was as simple as that then no one would ever win an away game unless they had a huge following!

Upon first hearing this over 18 months ago, I believed it...


Paul Egerton – Vernon, Chairman of the Jack Walker Settlement Trustees said:
“We are very pleased to be passing on the Rovers to the Rao family. ….We are particularly pleased that the Club will continue in family ownership and that the existing management team at the Rovers led by John Williams will continue unchanged.

Anuradha J Desai, the Chairperson of Venky’s, said:
“We are delighted, proud and humbled to be associated with Blackburn Rovers. …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 within the Premier League. We are particularly pleased that the deal has the full support of the Walker Trust, the Chairman and the management team who will of course remain in place with our full support.

Now I can see that this was the first of many lies to come from Venky's/Rovers

I'll be lending my support to Accrington Stanley until this farce is over

Can't see Venky's wanting a manager who is going to 'have his own mind' they really don't like that...........so if he is replaced it will be another Venky puppet...

The future is bleak

Come on, Paul Agnew. You have just been promoted, apparently, to Director of Communications. These negative comments about the future need countering, and it is your job to do so. Get promoting a true positive image.

Even Mr Agnew cannot defend the indefensible!

Even the BBC Sports section is linking to this in its breaking news seciton: surely the new Director of Communications has to acknowledge something which is now national news, even if the Venky's manage to remain blinkered.

I'm going down tomorrow to buy a season ticket, it's going to be like watching a pantomime every match day!

The problem is that the Venkeys are illiterate peasants who dont understand business.I would suggest that they got lucky selling chickens and their business accidently becam big but not big enough to finance a premiership club.I personall buy 2 STs but wont this year unless Kean fully leaves the club and the owners start telling us the truth.

I see the Rovers website is reporting on a group of scouts camping on the pitch. Best use it has been put to for two seasons. Next season why not have a few caravans as well. Might as well be put to good use.

These people and their advisor have kicked the Rovers fans in the teeth. Kean out or we stay out. Unbelievable arrogance!

Couldn't agree more Highbury B&W. Sometimes you have to make a sacrifrice to get what you want. Hit them in the pocket and they'll pluck off. Anyone renewing your season tickets you are simply lining their pockets, the only players coming in are 3rd rate like Modeste & Orr. Is that what you really want to watch because renewing will only prolong the agony for us all. Venkys dont care about you, they're in it for something else. No decent organisation would run a company this way.

I will be going next season as i have since 1979. For all sorts of reasons some wrong ones but unlike some of the fans on here who probably sang "Rovers till i die" last season i am just that and cant stop the bug.

Dear Mr Agnew

Are you communicating the content of this article and its ultimate impact to your fellow directors and the owners?

The most significant reason for substantially reduced gate receipts, hospitality interest, sponsorship,merchand
ise and food sales will relate directly to the employment of one person - Mr Kean.

I will not spend one penny of my money whilst that man has any - and I mean any - kind of role with Blackburn Rovers. I am sure there are many others who hold the same view.

For sure this attitude will harm the club - but the time for change has arrived, painful decisions have to be made to maximise the negative impact this man has had on the reputation of the club we all want to support.

Do the Venkys not realise that they are a laughing stock and that ultimately their core business will suffer - maybe they do not understand football - but surely they understand the basic principles of public relations, positive marketing and effective communications - all of which presumably is now part of your job description.

Do you therefore bring some form of salvation or - as many people expect - are you in this role to protect Mr Kean against himself - if you are then hang your head in shame Mr Agnew.

I will certainly NOT be buying a season ticket until the position of Steve Kean is made clear.
He is the man to take us back to where we belong and I don't want a new bloke who may not know what he's doing.
Steve's had 18 months valuable experience through the worst of times, from which he can only have learnt.
This knowledge he can apply next season and into the foreseeable future.
Let's all hope the Venkys stay on board to provide him their continuing loyal support.

We will return irrespective of what division we are in once Kean at least goes. We are under no illusions, we do not expect to get back in the PL in the foreseeable future. So go **** Yourself.

James Fallon said "I believe having more fans in the stadium will make us a more attractive proposition to any buyers out there." This is not so. Any prospective buyer will be well aware that attendances are only down because of the present situation and will revert to normal once Kean, and preferably also Venkys have gone.

Agreed, and if you stay at home - but travel away - and boost away attendances it will only emphsise the fact that there is much latent support awaiting Keans removal.

More chance of me buying a season ticket for the dingles and that is no chance,so The Venkys and Kean have no chance,not only will i not be renewing i will not attend till they are all gone.

Burnley: Even Steve Kean can't put a positive spin on it!!!

hugofakenham I sincerely hope your comments are a wind up either you are a dingle or an inmate who has found an hole in the asylum fence!!

Let’s play pretend. I want to pretend to be the new Communications Director answering a concerned Mrs Desai who is worried about the season ticket renewals and the report by ING Direct that 56% of STHs will not be renewing.
This is my pretend e.mail hoping to convince Mrs. D that all in the garden is rosy.

From P.Agnew
To: Mrs. A. Desai, S.Kean
cc: V.Rao, B.Rao, Veneeth, Mahesh, Gandhi, Robert, Karen, S.Hunt
Subject: Season Tickets 2012/13 and ING Direct Report

Dear Madame Desai and Steve,

Before ansering your concerns may I first thank both of you for my recent promotion and salary increase. I guess it shows that not everything at Ewood got sacked this year.

Onto season tickets – I would like to re-assure both of you that there is nothing to worry about and contrary to received wisdom, we may see an increase in revenue from the mugs we call supporters. Let me explain my logic:

2011/12 16,000 STHs paying an average of £275 (inc concessions and more expensive seats). TOTAL REVENUE £4.4m (form 19 games)
2011/12 an average of 3,000 walk-ups every game (19 games) paying an average of £25
TOTAL REVENUE £1.4M

2012/13 Assume 44% renewal 7,000 sold TOTAL REVENUE £1.9m. A shortfall of £2.5m
However – we assume that the average 3,000 walk-ups will still be retained and there is one extra game – generating an extra £100k
But – as you know Steve has guaranteed promotion and we should, consequently, expect more walk-ups than last year. Given our guaranteed promotion, we calculate that an incremental 5,000 of the disaffected supporters will attend the 20 home games over the season. At £25 per ticket this will bring in £2.5m – this is exactly the shortfall in season tickets.

So, you see Madame D that we actually forecast an increase in gate revenue year-on-year of £100k. The recession is over, the green shoots are emerging and there is gold at the end of the rainbow.

Let me also assure you that the £48m parachute payment over three seasons is secure for you to do what you and your lovely brothers choose to do.

I hope this allays your fears

Love and Kisses – as always
Paul

PS – did I say thanks to you and Steve for the promotion and the extra mullah.

As I said at the top of this note – it is just pretend.

As far as I'm concerned anyone drawing a wage from this mess - and claiming to be a Rovers supporter - is a mercenary. That goes for Agnew and Robert Coar. The latter should be particularly ashamed.

I'm not trying to argue with you here, but if you were employed at Rovers as a life long fan working in admin or something like that, would you quit?

I'm not talking about Agnew here, never even heard of him till tuther day, just asking like.

No, just talking about those with influence. I know 2 people that work at Brockhall and I wouldn't lump them in on this in any way.

Who are the biggest winners in all the goings on at Ewood Park. I would say the residents of Ewood and nearby plus the bus company's. They will be able to park their cars outside their homes and the bus schedules will be easier to maintain. With a lot less traffic in the area on match days they will be in heaven, whilst the rest of us are in hell!

I would like to know how accurate the 5000 - 6000 tickets sold number is. If that has come from info provided by BRFC how can we believe it when so many lies have been told! No-one I know has yet renewed (or has any intention to) until Kean is removed. How many of the 5000 - 6000 are free tickets given to staff / players /academy etc?

Venkys and Kean have effectively stuck two fingers up at Rovers fans, any other business who treated their customers with such contempt would have no customers left. I refuse to support Venkys as they have destroyed our club, so I won't be renewing my season ticket (BTW I still followed the team home and away the last time we were relegated). I appreciate some people want to support the club but the basic facts are that if you buy a season ticket you are financally supporting the scum who have ruined our club. They totally ignore our protests so what else can we do to make them take notice?

Yeah I concur, its much easier to write Bumley, it even looks right.

Or 'ShitOutofBumholeley

as reported at the beginning of May in this very paper Burnley have sold 7000 season tickets on the early bird option, which is more than you fair weather fans, I thought following your team was about sticking with them through thick and thin and voicing your complaints as best you can, as we did when Laws was in charge, true fans still go to watch their club but try to make their feelings known as vocally as possible, we got rid of Laws eventually, it just shows that unless your in the prem many fans won't come to watch. I hear your tickets were only £200 quid last year and you still have **** attendance, just shows the lack of strength in your fans and club, league 1 for you lot in the not too distant future.

The Kean luvvies or thickos are renewing.

I stopped going many games ago, but rest assured I will not set foot in Ewood again as long as that drink driving, back stabbing, conniving con-man Kean retains any sort of influence at my football club.

To keep Kean on at this point either means the Venkys are utterly stupid or corrupt to high heavens.

Good luck finding your next job in football Stevie boy. No wonder you're clinging onto this job for dear life, taking the pieces of silver whilst destroying our beloved club. No shame at all have you?

I don't think boycotting will actually hurt the Venkys finacially. This is a common misnomer I've since posted here for a long time now.

Most football clubs revenue comes from sponsorship, TV deals and player sales. Our individual season tickets/match day tickets are small fry comparatively.

BUT, boycotting is good purely for a PR backlash. It will be an embarassment for Kean and his other corrupt cronies. There's no way you can put a positive spin on an empty ground (no doubt they'll try though).

I still can't believe that youtube vid that exposes Steves true colours hasn't led to his sacking. We now know that this 'positive', 'dignified' persona he's been cultivating is nothing short of a lie. For Venkys to do nothing suggests they are happy with someone behaving in this manner.

Any idea if the protest organisers have given their official stance re the renewal of season tickets?

The only problem for me is that the Burnley idiots like the poster above sees an opportunity to state that Burnley get better attendance figures well I hope they do next season as with such poor figures as theirs we are bound to influence the Venkeys to dismiss Kean.Banana brain claret please tell me when you last had higer attendancies? Not in your lifetime saddo.

e...........I'm still waiting. Funding this regime is NOT supporting your club.

I've renewed, been coming down for over 30 years, through thick and thin. I have nothng but respect for the Pompey fans I hear chanting 'we want our Pompey back' at every game - I don't think they are muppets, or fans of other clubs who still turn up despite being the club being in a mess. If you're not happy with that then that's your problem, I think it's interesting that a number of the anti-renew posts turn to insults very quickly.

And for what it's worth I can't stand Kean!

Steve Kean/Venkys fan?

Not worried about that either. In fact the quicker they leave the sooner the club goes t*ts up and we get a new owner in with a new manager. Then the fans will come back and we will be more attractive to players

Agreed, for me too many under performed and I'll be glad to see the back of them MGP, Dunn & NZonzi are the main 3. But what sort of player can we now attract, over paid, under achieving has beens? Roberts and Heskey front 2 next season!

I don't think you can see a player's real ability when he is being lied to and asked to cover up or else. When he sees his collegues treated like rubbish and not allowed to speak up, then disappear. This is not a true reflection on their ability. Forget about good players, only desperados will want to come whilst these thieves are in control.

It is my personal belief that the only way to get rid of the cancer that has spread through BRFC is to starve them of money..
However, I understand that some fans will feel compelled to attend.
put v simply, diff strokes for diff folks. But I must commiserate with you as I'm certain that next seasons football will be even worse than this one... but good luck to you anyway, just make sure that Kean and Venky's hear your voice...

I don't think boycotting will actually hurt the Venkys finacially. This is a common misnomer I've since posted here for a long time now.

Most football clubs revenue comes from sponsorship, TV deals and player sales. Our individual season tickets/match day tickets are small fry comparatively.

BUT, boycotting is good purely for a PR backlash. It will be an embarassment for Kean and his other corrupt cronies. There's no way you can put a positive spin on an empty ground (no doubt they'll try though).

I still can't believe that youtube vid that exposes Steves true colours hasn't led to his sacking. We now know that this 'positive', 'dignified' persona he's been cultivating is nothing short of a lie. For Venkys to do nothing suggests they are happy with someone behaving in this manner.
-D.K.O

Any business that now sponsors BRFC are obviously Venky/Kean lovers. I would suggest that they do not renew their sponsorship and all Rovers fans boycott any sponsors that continue to support them.

No idea.

At this point the line between 'protesters' and 'regular fans' is a grey area to say the least. We're all in this together now, the fans are pretty much united.

I'd wager that 90% of all fans (and that's being quite generous) want to see Kean, and failing that, Venkys, get out of our club. Bunch of liars and crooks that they are.

I'd be interested WHEN the survey mentioned in this article took place, as in the last few weeks seeing that nothing is being done has led to more cancellations.

I would not be suprised that if Kean is not removed from our club it could be a near empty ground come our first game of the season. Spin that one Agnew and your corrupt cronies.

as can be seen above with the usual tripe from the dingles filled with vehoment jealousy.... we have to be careful how the we approach 'this boycott' which seems to be the accepted way to deal with these leeches.

Make no mistake the fans money does make a difference.

But we leave ourselves open to two problems:

1. The old dingle chesnut about support
(I know .... boring boring and a load of crap) nevertheless we can show that to be nonesense by boycotting home games but selling out every away game and showing our support their.
Whilst I appreciate there still is a financial implication it highlights to the media that we are not going to be a party to the dismantling of our club.
And it satisfies the genuine issues some fans have with the premis we should support our club through thick and thin .... a genuine and admirable point.

2. A warning from the past.
When Rovers won the FA Cup in 1960, there was a big furore about mishandling of funds and the sale of tickets.... many Rovers fans missing out, whilst the usual Players selling hundreds on the black market etc...
A section of Rovers fans boycotted the games the next season and never went back again because they felt like their grievances were never properly dealt with.
Now if that should happen with the 1000's that are refusing to go next season and they decide that what the hell its too expensive and they need the money for other things ..... so now they have broke the habit .... then we have a similar problem to the 60's when we lost and never recovered a huge number of fans.

I am just thinking how to galvanise the protest/boycott but still keep the fans with the team as worried it could turn into a disaster and destroy us completely.

The worst of it is the Dingles have nothing to be jealous of any more. RIP Our Club.

Thier waiting for it to be too late to cancel your renewal and then they'll announce that Kean will remain as manager.

It all seems very simple to me, Rovers must have a database of say 20-22k season ticket and walk up ticket buyers from the last season, so why does or new PR guru not contact each and every one of them with a simple survey for asking who will and who will not be attending next season and why. This way they will get a very accurate picture of the fans feelings.

I suggest you read the battered wife analogy earlier. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions for the long term good.

Paul hunt responded to my sending back my st renewal. Form unfilled in by asking me to reconsider. I assume he sent it to all those that haven't renewed so they know why we are not renewing.

ossy ,were all rovers till we die ,i know how you feel but we have to make a stand against these cretins ,feeding them is not the answer ,many people have already given genreously last season and for what? to have the p!ss taken out of them ,its supposed to be enjoyment but now its like a continuous death march ,there will come a day whilst these are in charge that there will be no rovers and so no rovers till i die , please dont go ,,stand outside and protest but for sure will go away games ,cheers

Forgive me for answering on his behalf but I think he is a fan of what was once the great Blackburn Rovers Football Club and would like to see it return.

All who have renewed season tickets, please think again. An average renewal of 15000 down to between 5 & 6 thou.

Many of these will be company bought by sponsors and avertisers. A lot of the well known pundits on TV have not batted an eyelid at the poor ownership and extreemly poor results at Ewood. They make a very good living from ignoring disasters created by their employers and friends.

We have to work out for ourselves what is going on from the snipits we find out. It's not good.
If you could get refunded for your ST we could then re group and have their full attention,not necesarily in a nasty way but to take back some control of how they want to spend your money.

Having minimal season tickets sold is a two fold victory, the false praise from employees can't cover up empty seats, and they don't have a year's supply of your cash to make more unexplained decisions with.
Even if you don't believe they are asset strippers, you will have the cards to deal at your leisure. No one can say it was the wrong thing to do, but it's always good to have a little more control, and if you think you can voice your dissapproval in the ground, think again, they own it and can evict anyone they choose.

If the club owners were outwitted by the fans it would be a first, and the it would be a strong platform to rebuild the club to it's former greatness.

As a supporter if you can forget about the positive hype and spin, you know in your heart that no one, be it Manager or player will get us out of the Championship with this set up, they won't come to the club unless despeate or blindfolded, the only way is to help the owners to decide to leave. Now that would be worth celebrating.

I am a fan of 137 years (-2 years of Venky/Kean) Rovers history including winning cups /leagues. Players past and present, Robinson, Yak, Dougie, Garner, Metcalfe, Brotherston, Pickering, Dougan, etc etc etc. I could go on.
I am a fan of nearly 60 years, standing, sitting, attending Ewood Park.
But there is a limit to my attachment to the club. If I see myself getting robbed by people only interested in them selves then I am afraid I have reached the end of my patience and will only return to the fold on the withdrawal of the present guardians of our wonderful club. Now going to wrack and ruin.

Just about the 'getting us out the championship' point, I very much doubt Venky's will achieve that. However, I never expected us to get into the old Div 1 under Saxton, Mckay etc - that's not the reason why I go or don't go to watch Rovers.

Not renewing is a very direct way of registering protest - However, I'm not sure it will impact upon them personally as I'm sure they will just continue to cut the on costs at BRFC including staff and all other business associated with it. So I guess on the face of it Venkys are screwing us every which way - so I won't be asking for a refund and I doubt I'll ever stop going to watch Rovers either, and as I said earlier if that upsets some poeple then that is their problem.

What about Pompey fans who still go, Darlington, Leeds, Notts County and so on and so on - what I admire is seeing those fans turning up week in and week out when their clubs are going through really bad times - so heart breaking as it is even if/when it gets worse I'll still be going.

Well said. As fans this is truly a last resort, we want this corrupt regime out of our beloved club, there is nothing else we can do.

Besides we are fans of Rovers, NOT Steve Kean or Venkys. If dp1978 or any other of Agnews cronies are upset by this then I guess you could get these L.E.T comments closed down again.

So what is your plan? Go and shout "Kean out, Venkys out" every game even though they are not there to hear it? Go accept what is going on and keep giving Venkys the money? Go on a march before each game which Venkys will not be aware of? Can you not see the only thing they understand or are aware of is the money coming into the club.

For a start, all you Burnley fans can **** OFF. Pub team or Sunday league team, we will still be able to beat you.

If you're a Rovers fan why would you get a season tick for Stanley??

You must have been in a coma let me explain. Recently BRFC has been bought by a company called Venkys who have sold/ released most of our top players, this resulted in us being relegated. This summer more are due to be sold and we are going to use 17/18 year old children in their place. Some of us feel this is wrong and are planning to stay away until our concerns are recognized.

There now you are up to date.

Thank you for your explanation, you are doing what you feel right for your reasons.

Please don't do what pundits do, smog the issue with, look at other fans they do this or that. We are experts at our own club, and they may have their reasons for doing what they do, we are responsible for what we do from what we know.
Venks are a breed unknown.

Quote from a comment on Sportsmole website:

"The Indian conglomerate Venkys promised to being top class names like Ronaldinho, Maradonna and Kaka to Rovers and promises of Champions league football, and with that, hope to bring Blackburn's segregated and divisive communities together. Instead they appointed a rookie without a clue as manager and destroyed a premiership club and demoted it to the championship league, and created even greater animosity towards Blackburn's asian communities with many a hidden racist taunt masked in the comments made.

Thanks Venkys. Now get out of our town and take that lying, pompous yes-man with you."

Speaks for itself I'd say.

I live in Stafford and get up to Ewood as much as I can with my teenage son. I've no intentions of coming again whilst Venky's or Kean are around. This isn't out of any thoughts that we have a divine right to be a Premiership team and Championship is just not good enough, I carried on coming last time we were relegated. No, this is simply down to the fact that our club has had its heart ripped out and thrown away by incompetent fools who simply don't know what they're doing. People who have no respect whatsoever for the supporters.

Absolutely amazed that 5 - 6000 morons have renewed their season tickets- unbelievable - there are a few local hospices that would have benefitted from that kind of money. All I can say is that those morons better sing their heart out for Steve Kean and venky's next season and NO MOANING in the ground or you will be slated by the Venky's publicity machine and probably the national press!!!

whatever way you look at this 5-6k supporters is shocking and relevant to the times we face at present. I think we are all of the opinion SK will be at Rovers in a 'management' capcity even if they bring an understudy to do his job. The silence following last weeks showdown talks speaks volumes and the simple fact of the matter is..the club belongs to Venkys who will run it as they see fit. Traditions are out of the window, they don't give a flying doodaa about the legacy of Jack Walker and the fans are just that, we have no vested interest in the club, we just support.

The club sinking ship must continue in order for the vultures to have fed enough and fly on...we will be left with a rotten corpse of a club that only the brave and genuine can follow. As a fan, and a season ticket renewer, I do not accept 'shame' for supporting the club I have been watching over 30 years. The decision is based on what I know and enjoy, the players who will perform against the likes of Derby, Barnsley, Burnley, will of course try their best and that is what I will do in support....the owners and management of the club can go to hell as they mean nothing to me, therefore we share a mutual respect.

The club however means the world to me and whilst BRFC is still in exsistence, then I will remain, its a point of principle and in the end, unless we die, we go nowhere as supporters, however the club owners and their followers eventually do!!!

I'm not going to condemn anyone of you who are getting ST's, the last time I looked this is still a free country.
What I would say is that as these crooks are going to milk our club until their's nothing left and they will get away with it because they know that there are always going to be supporters who love their club enough to keep going no matter what. My wife is a nurse as says the government can get away with treating nurses poorly because they know they are the type of people who will not strike because they love what they do. It's a similar thing.
Please think again and do not renew your tickets for the long term good of the club we all love.
Only by sticking together can we rid the club of these crooks.

2 more here NOT renewing after 20+ years of having one....will be using my renewal money for beer tokens for away days !!!!!

also can you knock the annoying fecking ads off PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!

This is the bit that has always puzzled me. Venkys are Indian Hindus and IMO Blackburn is predominantely Pakistani/Punjabi Muslim or Gujaratti Muslim. It would have made more sense for them to buy Leicester.
.
I would agree about the hidden racist taunts though!

My oh my, what a lot of asterisks, can't you spell? You are right about one thing, you may well be a pub team before long. Unfortunately the bit about this being your country is a little of an overstatement isn't it? In footballing terms I think you'll find that the country, at the moment, belongs to Man City, a proper "big" club.
By the way, there are no skyscrapers in Burnley last time I looked and even if there were, as much as I hate Wovers, I wouldn't wish any other football fan dead, not even you you sad little twerp.

Here we go again,boycotting games we were never going to in the first place.

It's not quite the same but if you buy a ST you are being used and abused. You keep going back for more because "It's my club and I love it." Sometimes it takes courage to walk away and say enough is enough until kean and venkys go. I won't be a victim any longer.
It breaks my heart after 46+ years of support but I can't support these people in any way any more.

Ooh look!! Finally the intelligentsia set of Blackburn have woken from their studious slumbers. Perfect example of the Further Educational systen that abounds in this woe begotten town.

Such a well written prosaic example of a good education the writer must have started out at either QEGS, Westholme or St. Oswalds and then gone on to successfully take the Oxbridge Exam.

Congratulations to you being a shining example of such a classical education and the type of fans thge game can do without.

In case you think you have been complimented, ask your Mummy or Daddy; there again perhaps not, they will probably think it is a compliment to them for your upbringing!

I always thought Her Maj was the Duke of Lancaster and belonged mostly to her. Goes to show we do not have the same high facilities in Burnley.

But at least our team is not the laughing stock of the game and staring bankruptcy and oblivion in the face.

Many of these will be company bought by sponsors and avertisers. A lot of the well known pundits on TV have not batted an eyelid at the poor ownership and extreemly poor results at Ewood. They make a very good living from ignoring disasters created by their employers and friends.

We have to work out for ourselves what is going on from the snipits we find out. It's not good.
If you could get refunded for your ST we could then re group and have their full attention,not necesarily in a nasty way but to take back some control of how they want to spend your money.

Having minimal season tickets sold is a two fold victory, the false praise from employees can't cover up empty seats, and they don't have a year's supply of your cash to make more unexplained decisions with.
Even if you don't believe they are asset strippers, you will have the cards to deal at your leisure. No one can say it was the wrong thing to do, but it's always good to have a little more control, and if you think you can voice your dissapproval in the ground, think again, they own it and can evict anyone they choose.

If the club owners were outwitted by the fans it would be a first, and the it would be a strong platform to rebuild the club to it's former greatness.

As a supporter if you can forget about the positive hype and spin, you know in your heart that no one, be it Manager or player will get us out of the Championship with this set up, they won't come to the club unless despeate or blindfolded, the only way is to help the owners to decide to leave. Now that would be worth celebrating.

Just about the 'getting us out the championship' point, I very much doubt Venky's will achieve that. However, I never expected us to get into the old Div 1 under Saxton, Mckay etc - that's not the reason why I go or don't go to watch Rovers.

Not renewing is a very direct way of registering protest - However, I'm not sure it will impact upon them personally as I'm sure they will just continue to cut the on costs at BRFC including staff and all other business associated with it. So I guess on the face of it Venkys are screwing us every which way - so I won't be asking for a refund and I doubt I'll ever stop going to watch Rovers either, and as I said earlier if that upsets some poeple then that is their problem.

What about Pompey fans who still go, Darlington, Leeds, Notts County and so on and so on - what I admire is seeing those fans turning up week in and week out when their clubs are going through really bad times - so heart breaking as it is even if/when it gets worse I'll still be going.

Thank you for your explanation, you are doing what you feel right for your reasons.

Please don't do what pundits do, smog the issue with, look at other fans they do this or that. We are experts at our own club, and they may have their reasons for doing what they do, we are responsible for what we do from what we know.
Venks are a breed unknown.

Thanks and I'm not sure if I'm doing what pundits do or not, it's a genuine feeling. I heard Pompey fans singing for Blackburn when they played at Blackpool this season. I think other clubs would suggest that their owners are a breed unknown, or that Peter Ridsdale is, or the Glazers, Lerner, all the various interests in Pompeys, the dictator who owned Man City for a while. The fact is the Premier League (probably more so than the football league) has very minimal standards when assessing who is fit and proper - so really our protests could be at them as much as our owners - although they would argue than any solvent individual who can deomonstrate that they comply with the financial & legal requirements is a fit and proper owner. For example, how is it that a football club can be hundreds of millions of pounds in debt but still win the league or even survive in the premiership with 100mil of debt?

So I will live in my own smogged up world and continue to support Blackburn and I appreciate the respectufl tone of the debate, unlike a lot of comments on this site.

Please can somebody explain what a "hidden racist taunt" is and provide an example if possible.

Could this be some objection to the name of our town?

Didn't tthink it'd take long before a flee bitten B*rnley hyena commented. Yeah...6000 season ticket holders whilst the club is in melt down. That's half your average home attendance. Howe many ST's have B*rnley sold?

Checked for fleas this morning and have given myself the all clear. It's going to be a good day!

Get a second opinion, and not from yer sister.

BTW: You didn't answer my question, how many season tickets have B*rnley sold?

I don't know how many season tickets we've sold, I haven't seen it mentioned and I haven't asked. Why do you replace the 'u' in Burnley with an '*'? I'm curious.

Yeah I concur, its much easier to write Bumley, it even looks right.

Or 'ShitOutofBumholeley


"

as reported at the beginning of May in this very paper Burnley have sold 7000 season tickets on the early bird option, which is more than you fair weather fans, I thought following your team was about sticking with them through thick and thin and voicing your complaints as best you can, as we did when Laws was in charge, true fans still go to watch their club but try to make their feelings known as vocally as possible, we got rid of Laws eventually, it just shows that unless your in the prem many fans won't come to watch. I hear your tickets were only £200 quid last year and you still have **** attendance, just shows the lack of strength in your fans and club, league 1 for you lot in the not too distant future.

What a load of self righteous tripe.

You have no idea what is going on, do you?

Don't come on here with your B*rnley myths about being a bigger and better supported club.

Infact, in my life time you never have been.

B*rnley's support is a myth - more than that, it is a lie.

Lets get some basic facts straight:

Statistics go back to 1889, 122 years.

There have only been 32 years out of 122 years when Burnley have averaged higher attendances than Blackburn Rovers - the last time being just over a quarter of a century ago in the 1900's, 29 years to be precise - 1983.

Below are the average attendances of both Blackburn Rovers and Burnley when they have either (a) been in the same league together or (b) when they have been in the same league at different times or (c) when Blackburn Rovers have been in a lower league but have still managed to average higher attendances.

It is also worth highlighting the fact that the Blackburn connurbation consists of Darwen; population approximately: 135,000.

The Burnley connurbation consists of Read, Simonstone, Paddiham, Brierfield, Briercliffe, Worsthorne, Nelson and Colne; population approximately: 150,000.

The 1950's were a very thin period for Blackburn Rovers. 1949-1959 were spent in Division 2 (1966-1992 spent in Division's 2 and 3) while Burnley spent the 1950's in Division 1 winning the Division 1 Championship in 1960 - in 1960 Rovers still managed to average bigger attendances than Burnley.

Still, Rovers attendance figures during the 1950's compared favourably with Burnley,as can be seen below.

Blackburn Rovers 1950s
1958 2 22.708
1957 2 23.091
1955 2 26.928

Burnley 1950s
1958 1 22.251
1957 1 22.493
1955 1 25.094

Burnley's fortunes relative to Rovers' throughout the 1950's, 1960's and the 1970's were far greater.

In 1960 Burnley won the Division 1 Championship and Blackburn Rovers narrowly avoided relegation, finishing 17th.

Blackburn Rovers
1960 - 27.299
Burnley Division 1 Champions
1960 - 26.978

Both clubs slowly went into decline during the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's.
Rovers fortunes then slowly began to improve as the 1980's progressed.

Rovers' decline began in 1966.

Burnley's decline began in 1977.

Blackburn Rovers in Division 3
1975 - 12.651
1974 - 7.432
1973 - 9.214
1972 - 8.256

Burnley in Division 3
1985 - 4.177
1984 - 6.625
1982 - 6.936
1981- 6.469

At the end of the 1997-1998 season, Rovers were relegated to Division 1, now renamed The Championship.

This allowed Rovers to renew their rivalry with Burnley with two memorable victories for Rovers - on and off the pitch.

Blackburn Rovers in The Championship
2001 - 20.740

Burnley in The Championship
2001 - 16.442

Burnley finally gained promotion to Division one, now renamed The Premier League.

This allowed them to renew their rivalry with Rovers with two memorable victories for Rovers - on and off the pitch.

Blackburn Rovers in The Premier League
2010 - 25.428

Burnley in The Premier League
2010 - 20.654

•Statistics go back to 1889, 122 years.

•There are only 32 years out of 122 years when Burnley have had higher attendances than Blackburn Rovers.

•Of those 122 years, Blackburn Rovers and Burnley have only ever been in the same Division together during 39 of them.

•In 15 years out of the 39 years when the two clubs have been in the same Division, Burnley have averaged higher attendances than Blackburn Rovers.

•In 24 years out of the 39 years when the two clubs have been in the same Division, Blackburn Rovers have averaged higher attendances than Burnley.

•The other 17 years when Burnley have averaged higher attendances than Blackburn Rovers have come when Blackburn Rovers have been in a lower Division.

•Burnley have never averaged higher attendances than Blackburn Rovers when in a lower Division than Blackburn Rovers.

•Blackburn Rovers have averaged higher attendances than Burnley when in a lower Division than Burnley: 1955; 1957 and 1958.

Who's fickle now?

If you're a Rovers fan why would you get a season tick for Stanley??

I have been going to Watch Stanley for many season, when Rovers play away.. Been going to Rovers since I was 8 years old..Never thought I'd want to stop going..Even in the crappy division 2 days, it wasn't this bad.. Things are going to get a hell of a lot worse with this lot..I don't care what division we end up in..Long as we get shut of these terrible owners & pathetic manager..I will only go back when I know the club is in good hands, being run by people who care.

Wouldn't it be good if this was a forum for real debate instead of a platform for idiots to spout their pathetic insults at each other.
There are serious issues to discuss and why are Burnley supporters on here anyway. Nothing going on at your club ?

Not sure as of right now but this time last year it was 10,500 (as opposed to your 15,000 in the prem). I believe it may be slightly down on last year but 40% down? I don't think so. So on that note I think we'll leave you with that hole in your foot from shooting yourself in it.

Oh, has the argument shifted?

So, B*rnley have only managed higher attendances in 32 out of 122 years - however, you claim a moral victory because.... B*rnley sold 10,500 tickets in the Chumpionship and Rovers sold 15,000 in The Premier League?

What as sad a*cking argument you make.

Who the **** are you to tell people what to do with their money? I'm renewing my ticket because I want to go for a pint with the lads and watch football on a Saturday, I've done it for years and I won't let a corrupt manager and two bit chicken plucking company change that.

I hope you have cancelled Sky if you're not renewing.

Thank you ever so much for trying to drag this debate down to your ridiculous level.
I was born a Dingle, moved to Blackburn before I was old enough to realise what that meant and still have Claret sympathisers within my family. Thankfully, they have a much higher standard of intellect and appreciation for what is going on than you do. I truly hope you don't end up in the same situation we are currently in: i.e. with incompetent owners who are in thrall to a Scots looney who wouldn't know the truth if it bit him somewhere private.
I find it telling that the vast majority of non claret / non BRFC fans who post on this or similar threads have the brains to understand what is going on and can contribute to the debate in a sensible way. I think you might find that anyone of the supporters of those teams reading comments such as yours would be stunningly unimpressed with your compassion.
Just to point it out once again to you and others of your ilk, no true BRFC fan thinks we have a god given right to be in the PL. We do however have the right to a competent ownership / management structure which is transparent and conforms to business norms amongst all football teams throughout the PL and FA.
Thank you very much for your comments. Yet again, you have reminded me why I don't tend to make much of my heritage: people like you make me ashamed.

I question the racial aspect as I suspect some of them will be similar to calling Kean a Scottish so-and-so but it certainly wont help matters in a town with a large indian population which is so divided.

James Fallon said "I believe having more fans in the stadium will make us a more attractive proposition to any buyers out there." This is not so. Any prospective buyer will be well aware that attendances are only down because of the present situation and will revert to normal once Kean, and preferably also Venkys have gone.

Agreed, and if you stay at home - but travel away - and boost away attendances it will only emphsise the fact that there is much latent support awaiting Keans removal.

Don't make me laugh with all this talk about away games, last season you 'premeirship giants' only took 500 to man city as just one example.
Its clear now that the money has gone and you're returning to the pre-walker days, only the true loyal fans will remain as before. I've no doubt that many of you will return to doing things other than watch lower league football, wigan perhaps!. As for the younger bstrds, a lesson in life that everyone wants to be associated where there is glory but loyalty is displayed when things are tough. And look at you lot, true colours shining through!
Welcome back to the footballing middle class, that's quite a fall you've had and your pride must have taken a bruising. So do you lot stay and fight your way back?...oh no...walk away...say's it all!
Any of you silly bstrds been on the land registery website to find out who has title, etc. over the mental hospital where you train or do you continue to look at each other in that stupid bstrd way only you lot can manage in wonder as to who owns what?

I think its a bit ott to call supporters morons just because they have renewed their season ticket somepeoplesay.

Not really. All quiet on the Burnley front now we are in the close season. The only football entertainment just now is at Rovers.

By the way, for all you Wovers who like a good conspiracy theory, the anagram of Steve Kean is East Venke (okay, not quite Venky but it's near enough). I wonder what the next twist in the tale will be, could he be the long lost brother of Rai? Stay tuned on this channel folks, don't touch that dial.

Once again we get the usual stream of insults. Meanwhile, it seems as if Steve Kean, Paul Agnew and the others in charge of running the club, have gone on their holidays and will be back at the start of August.

But at least our team is not the laughing stock of the game and staring bankruptcy and oblivion in the face.

At St. Mary's College, at least we were taught how to spell 'system'.

I think it is the continual reference (or prefix) that some people persist in using to describe the billionaire industrialist owners as "peasants" or "chicken farmers" the implication being that they are low income, little education or low social standing, often used about someone from a 3rd world country.
.
It is an unusual phenonenom, perhaps unique to this dispute, that the owners source of wealth is used against them.
.
When we used to here cries of Teasdale out, you never heard anyone mention he was an accountant with Multipart, when Wolves fan complain about Morgan you never hear them call him a "fu***** builder" nor the Spurs fans describe Sugar as "that fu***** entraprenauer or business mogul".
.
The "hidden" element is perhaps because the people shouting it are closer to peasant status than the Venky family - but because they are white they feel superior.

Didn't tthink it'd take long before a flee bitten B*rnley hyena commented. Yeah...6000 season ticket holders whilst the club is in melt down. That's half your average home attendance. Howe many ST's have B*rnley sold?

Checked for fleas this morning and have given myself the all clear. It's going to be a good day!

Get a second opinion, and not from yer sister. BTW: You didn't answer my question, how many season tickets have B*rnley sold?

I don't know how many season tickets we've sold, I haven't seen it mentioned and I haven't asked. Why do you replace the 'u' in Burnley with an '*'? I'm curious.

Yeah I concur, its much easier to write Bumley, it even looks right.

Or 'ShitOutofBumholeley "

as reported at the beginning of May in this very paper Burnley have sold 7000 season tickets on the early bird option, which is more than you fair weather fans, I thought following your team was about sticking with them through thick and thin and voicing your complaints as best you can, as we did when Laws was in charge, true fans still go to watch their club but try to make their feelings known as vocally as possible, we got rid of Laws eventually, it just shows that unless your in the prem many fans won't come to watch. I hear your tickets were only £200 quid last year and you still have **** attendance, just shows the lack of strength in your fans and club, league 1 for you lot in the not too distant future.

What a load of self righteous tripe. You have no idea what is going on, do you? Don't come on here with your B*rnley myths about being a bigger and better supported club. Infact, in my life time you never have been. B*rnley's support is a myth - more than that, it is a lie. Lets get some basic facts straight: Statistics go back to 1889, 122 years. There have only been 32 years out of 122 years when Burnley have averaged higher attendances than Blackburn Rovers - the last time being just over a quarter of a century ago in the 1900's, 29 years to be precise - 1983. Below are the average attendances of both Blackburn Rovers and Burnley when they have either (a) been in the same league together or (b) when they have been in the same league at different times or (c) when Blackburn Rovers have been in a lower league but have still managed to average higher attendances. It is also worth highlighting the fact that the Blackburn connurbation consists of Darwen; population approximately: 135,000. The Burnley connurbation consists of Read, Simonstone, Paddiham, Brierfield, Briercliffe, Worsthorne, Nelson and Colne; population approximately: 150,000. The 1950's were a very thin period for Blackburn Rovers. 1949-1959 were spent in Division 2 (1966-1992 spent in Division's 2 and 3) while Burnley spent the 1950's in Division 1 winning the Division 1 Championship in 1960 - in 1960 Rovers still managed to average bigger attendances than Burnley. Still, Rovers attendance figures during the 1950's compared favourably with Burnley,as can be seen below. Blackburn Rovers 1950s 1958 2 22.708 1957 2 23.091 1955 2 26.928 Burnley 1950s 1958 1 22.251 1957 1 22.493 1955 1 25.094 Burnley's fortunes relative to Rovers' throughout the 1950's, 1960's and the 1970's were far greater. In 1960 Burnley won the Division 1 Championship and Blackburn Rovers narrowly avoided relegation, finishing 17th. Blackburn Rovers 1960 - 27.299 Burnley Division 1 Champions 1960 - 26.978 Both clubs slowly went into decline during the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. Rovers fortunes then slowly began to improve as the 1980's progressed. Rovers' decline began in 1966. Burnley's decline began in 1977. Blackburn Rovers in Division 3 1975 - 12.651 1974 - 7.432 1973 - 9.214 1972 - 8.256 Burnley in Division 3 1985 - 4.177 1984 - 6.625 1982 - 6.936 1981- 6.469 At the end of the 1997-1998 season, Rovers were relegated to Division 1, now renamed The Championship. This allowed Rovers to renew their rivalry with Burnley with two memorable victories for Rovers - on and off the pitch. Blackburn Rovers in The Championship 2001 - 20.740 Burnley in The Championship 2001 - 16.442 Burnley finally gained promotion to Division one, now renamed The Premier League. This allowed them to renew their rivalry with Rovers with two memorable victories for Rovers - on and off the pitch. Blackburn Rovers in The Premier League 2010 - 25.428 Burnley in The Premier League 2010 - 20.654 •Statistics go back to 1889, 122 years. •There are only 32 years out of 122 years when Burnley have had higher attendances than Blackburn Rovers. •Of those 122 years, Blackburn Rovers and Burnley have only ever been in the same Division together during 39 of them. •In 15 years out of the 39 years when the two clubs have been in the same Division, Burnley have averaged higher attendances than Blackburn Rovers. •In 24 years out of the 39 years when the two clubs have been in the same Division, Blackburn Rovers have averaged higher attendances than Burnley. •The other 17 years when Burnley have averaged higher attendances than Blackburn Rovers have come when Blackburn Rovers have been in a lower Division. •Burnley have never averaged higher attendances than Blackburn Rovers when in a lower Division than Blackburn Rovers. •Blackburn Rovers have averaged higher attendances than Burnley when in a lower Division than Burnley: 1955; 1957 and 1958. Who's fickle now?

Save yourself some time and just repeat - Burnley, not bigger just better.

There are lies, dammed lies and statistics and thats where you fall down.

There are serious issues to discuss and why are Burnley supporters on here anyway. Nothing going on at your club ?

We had 15,000 season ticket holders in the prem and there would have been more but for having to leave room for passing trade and visiting support. When you take into account the fact that we are only a small town with about half the population of Blackburn I don't think that's bad do you? Rovers average when we were both there was about 3,500 more than Burnley. Your bigger ground means that for the games against big clubs your average would be artificially bolstered by the odd upper twenty-thousand crowd, you know, the ones were you sell your tickets to United fans and the like. You will certainly miss the visiting 3/4 thousand next season. Your population lets you down every season and will continue to do so in a major way next season. I do admire the fact that you are pre-empting the loss of prem hangers-on by blaming it all on Uncle Steve though.

Ooh look!! Finally the intelligentsia set of Blackburn have woken from their studious slumbers. Perfect example of the Further Educational systen that abounds in this woe begotten town. Such a well written prosaic example of a good education the writer must have started out at either QEGS, Westholme or St. Oswalds and then gone on to successfully take the Oxbridge Exam. Congratulations to you being a shining example of such a classical education and the type of fans thge game can do without. In case you think you have been complimented, ask your Mummy or Daddy; there again perhaps not, they will probably think it is a compliment to them for your upbringing! I always thought Her Maj was the Duke of Lancaster and belonged mostly to her. Goes to show we do not have the same high facilities in Burnley. But at least our team is not the laughing stock of the game and staring bankruptcy and oblivion in the face.

Thank you ever so much for trying to drag this debate down to your ridiculous level. I was born a Dingle, moved to Blackburn before I was old enough to realise what that meant and still have Claret sympathisers within my family. Thankfully, they have a much higher standard of intellect and appreciation for what is going on than you do. I truly hope you don't end up in the same situation we are currently in: i.e. with incompetent owners who are in thrall to a Scots looney who wouldn't know the truth if it bit him somewhere private. I find it telling that the vast majority of non claret / non BRFC fans who post on this or similar threads have the brains to understand what is going on and can contribute to the debate in a sensible way. I think you might find that anyone of the supporters of those teams reading comments such as yours would be stunningly unimpressed with your compassion. Just to point it out once again to you and others of your ilk, no true BRFC fan thinks we have a god given right to be in the PL. We do however have the right to a competent ownership / management structure which is transparent and conforms to business norms amongst all football teams throughout the PL and FA. Thank you very much for your comments. Yet again, you have reminded me why I don't tend to make much of my heritage: people like you make me ashamed.

In reponse to your comment;

Firstly; I placed a sympathetic post as a true football fan having watched BFC and BRFC for more years than you have probably had on this earth.

Secondly; the post elicited no response that is the usual banter between true supporters, then along came the abject response that I replied to which seems to have raised your ire.

Thirdly; Being born in Padiham does not make you a citizen of Burnley it makes you known as everyone in this area is aware of, "A Padiham Thickneck"

Fourth; You should make a lot of fuss about your heritage and not be ashamed Padiham Thicknecks rank among folklore in the same way as the Sabden Treacle Miners.

Fifth; read my first post then you will understand the sarcastic post I made to the idiot who infers indecent language just as bad as the other fecal matter "Cold side of the Pillow"

Sixth; I posted on this blog because it is in the general sports section not specifically BRFC and did it in the same manner that BRFC people post on BFC matters

Seventh: You are just a paying fan (if you have a season ticket or a match day purchaser) The only rights this gives you is to go on the ground, watch the game and nothing else. You have no voting power, it does not give you shares in the club and does not make it "Yours". It just makes you a supporter. Judging from a lot of the naysayers who are not going to continue watching BRFC I would surmise they are all really just Premiership supporters like a lot of the "New ardent fans" BFC acquired when we were promoted and disappeared over the horizon after relegation.

From a neutral view I can look at the situation that is happening at Ewood and have great sympathy and I do consider it appalling. However, a lot of the posts from some of the "so called fans" are terrible, there are a lot from genuine ones but sadly a lot of what they infer can only be conjecture with no true inside Board information.

I hope you feel this that shows an unbiased view and you now understand my sarcastic comment.

Yep and they always conveniently ignore mainly Rovers supporting strongholds such as: Chorley, Rishton, Accy, Church, Haslingden, Great Harwood, Whalley, Oswaldtwistle etc etc when they use the "What about Pendle argument"

Well, I hope agnew, our director of communications (or whatever grand title he is using) isn't claiming his salary yet. Because he has given us nothing information wise. And apparently he and all the others in the know have turned their phones off. What contemptable people they all are.

I personally think they are doing all this to assert the power they think they hold over us and to punish us for all the abuse. All there're doing though is hightlighting to all the media how clueless and conceited they really are.

Not really. All quiet on the Burnley front now we are in the close season. The only football entertainment just now is at Rovers. I'm getting a bit excited waiting for the next episode, it's like a good soap opera, there's even a good soap villain in Keano, you know, the kind you love to hate. There are the rumours about who is leaving this week and, just when you think it is too far-fetched to be believed, along comes another twist in the plot. Marvelous stuff. Unfortunately, as far as the prem is concerned, it doesn't look like there will be a Rovers Return this side of Armageddon.
By the way, for all you Wovers who like a good conspiracy theory, the anagram of Steve Kean is East Venke (okay, not quite Venky but it's near enough). I wonder what the next twist in the tale will be, could he be the long lost brother of Rai? Stay tuned on this channel folks, don't touch that dial.

Ok so what you are saying is there is nothing else in your lives other than what's going on at Blackburn.

And your not embarrassed to admit that ??

In only 32 years out if 122 years have B*rnley had higher attendances. Fact. Get over it.

It really is desperate that before the season has even started, with Rovers in free fall and a mass fan boycott and therefore the faintest whiff of finally achieving higher attendances, only now do you raise the old B*rnley attendance myth.


It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

You don't get it. Do you?

I DON'T SAY "CATCHMENT AREA", I SAY "CONURBATION"

Look at the Burnley "urban conurbation". It is an unbroken urban conurbation that includes: Read, Simonstone, Paddiham, Brierfield, Briercliffe, Worsthorne, Nelson and Colne.

The "catchment area" that you refer to: Chorley, Rishton, Accringtony, Church, Haslingden, Great Harwood, Whalley, Oswaldtwistle - are separate from the Blackburn urban conurbation - they and lie between Blackburn and B*rnley - they are not connected to Blackburn - both clubs pull in fans from this "catchment area" - that is why it is called a "catchment area".

Stop weasel wording and mealy mouthing.

The season B*rnley won the Division 1 Championship Rovers got bigger crowds, and we were almost relegated that season.

With Rovers fans talking of a mass boycott, only now do you bring out the old myths of being bigger and better supported.

In only 32 years out of 122 have B*rnley averaged higher attendances, Fact. Get over it.

Your bigger ground means that for the games against big clubs your average would be artificially bolstered by the odd upper twenty-thousand crowd, you know, the ones were you sell your tickets to United fans and the like. You will certainly miss the visiting 3/4 thousand next season. Your population lets you down every season and will continue to do so in a major way next season. I do admire the fact that you are pre-empting the loss of prem hangers-on by blaming it all on Uncle Steve though.

Wait for it......we have a bigger catchment area!!!

In only 32 years out if 122 years have B*rnley had higher attendances. Fact. Get over it.

It really is desperate that before the season has even started, with Rovers in free fall and a mass fan boycott and therefore the faintest whiff of finally achieving higher attendances, only now do you raise the old B*rnley attendance myth.


It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

My Dad is bigger than your Dad...

really! 42?!!

The Venkys, Kean and anybody else involved in this scam utterly disgust me. I never wish to have any dealings with any of them; complete garbage the lot of them.

Yes.... little things like "facts" are really awkward, aren't they?

Really childish are "facts", aren't they?

Really need to "act my age" and stop telling the truth, shouldn't i?

Those pesky little flies in the ointment called "facts" are just silly and childish.

Silly me. Grow up.

Yep and they always conveniently ignore mainly Rovers supporting strongholds such as: Chorley, Rishton, Accy, Church, Haslingden, Great Harwood, Whalley, Oswaldtwistle etc etc when they use the "What about Pendle argument"

You don't get it. Do you?

I DON'T SAY "CATCHMENT AREA", I SAY "CONURBATION"

Look at the Burnley "urban conurbation". It is an unbroken urban conurbation that includes: Read, Simonstone, Paddiham, Brierfield, Briercliffe, Worsthorne, Nelson and Colne.

The "catchment area" that you refer to: Chorley, Rishton, Accringtony, Church, Haslingden, Great Harwood, Whalley, Oswaldtwistle - are separate from the Blackburn urban conurbation - they and lie between Blackburn and B*rnley - they are not connected to Blackburn - both clubs pull in fans from this "catchment area" - that is why it is called a "catchment area".

Stop weasel wording and mealy mouthing.

The season B*rnley won the Division 1 Championship Rovers got bigger crowds, and we were almost relegated that season.

With Rovers fans talking of a mass boycott, only now do you bring out the old myths of being bigger and better supported.

In only 32 years out of 122 have B*rnley averaged higher attendances, Fact. Get over it.

OK let me get this straight ..... you are seriously, I mean seriously suggesting that areas such as Rishton, Great Harwood, Oswaldtwistle et al do not have a vast majority of Rovers fans in comparison to any other supporter then?

Try answering the question you big girl instead of getting all sweary and silly:

I will repeat it for you in case you are too slow to find it: Do you really think that areas such as Rishton, Great Harwood, Oswaldtwistle et al do not have a vast majority of Rovers fans in comparison to any other supporter then? If so whether they are conurbations or catchment areas or what, the fact is you have other towns and villages in your area where your draw your support from outside of Blackburn and Darwen - am I correct?

Blah blah blah blah.

Do you know what, I don't even know if what you say is true or not and don't actually care. I started watching Rovers when they had been relegated to the old 3rd division in 1979 and Howard Kendal was appointed manager. Been a supporter ever since through bad, good and bad again. Only care about my own club and have no interest in other clubs including Burnley.
Bored now, going to get back to my life but you feel free to come back with more pathetic comments. I'll have a read later on when I've a spare min.

Please can somebody explain what a "hidden racist taunt" is and provide an example if possible. Could this be some objection to the name of our town?

I think it is the continual reference (or prefix) that some people persist in using to describe the billionaire industrialist owners as "peasants" or "chicken farmers" the implication being that they are low income, little education or low social standing, often used about someone from a 3rd world country.
.
It is an unusual phenonenom, perhaps unique to this dispute, that the owners source of wealth is used against them.
.
When we used to here cries of Teasdale out, you never heard anyone mention he was an accountant with Multipart, when Wolves fan complain about Morgan you never hear them call him a "fu***** builder" nor the Spurs fans describe Sugar as "that fu***** entraprenauer or business mogul".
.
The "hidden" element is perhaps because the people shouting it are closer to peasant status than the Venky family - but because they are white they feel superior.

More boll0cks from the livestock bothering dingle.

60+ years of going on Ewood have come to an end for me,I am not renewing and probably never will.I won't find fault with anyone who has renewed most I have spoken to consider Rovers their club and will not let Kean make them stay away.
The present situation at Rovers shows where me and other fans fit in the scheme of things,mushrooms thats all,at least mushrooms don't pay to be kept in the dark.
Fans must not fight among themselves,KEAN is very clever helped by his friends he turned fan against fan to hide the truth He is doing it again by not speaking out now about his position at the club.
So lets use this forum to build a fan base that is united in their hatred of Kean.Football is tainted by money and greed fans are forced to attend games any day of the week any time of the day,We must get our club back for the future but the time is not long off when fans must unite to get football back.
While I'm at it cab we starve the Dingless of the attention they crave by ignoring their inane humourless posts.

Because your GP was right to diagnose you a thick c*nt last year.

When asked if B*rnley had a chance of winning the next World Cup did you smash it? replied, "It's possible y'know."

NURSE! 50 CC's of CUNTOXIN for did you smash it, PLEASE!!

I did not renew our two season tickets last season ,Not trying to say i told you , But you could see he was crap , Without Sams points we would have gone down then.
I did not like the thought of giving my money to these 'No hope owners and manager' and on the night they did manage to show up at Ewood for there big night out and two minutes of fame i did not clap then for them either, The only clapping they will get off me is when they are both gone.
Baldy and venkys are two cheeks of the same ar5e in my book.
.
While i respect anybody who wants to renew there ticket i think all they are doing is feeding there pockets and giving them a platform to keep using the phrase'Its only a small minority of fans who are protesting'
When quit clearly we know its a lot of the fans who are not happy ,But also who are been ignored by the Indian missfits.
.
They and Kean have done a job with the press of trying to make the fans the bad guys in all this, Kean not bringing his son or family due to safety etc, Him with the body gaurd , Its all a joke and rubbish to make good honest hard working people look like people who want kill him or have a pop at his kids....Utter rubish.
.
So as to some comments about been at Ewood with your voice to let them know your un happiness, Well all i can say is you can shout at them as much as you want your voice has fallen on def ears, They have not given a dam about what the fans think, So why line there pockets is my point.
.
But no dout they will have a spin doctor on why numbers have dropped so much, But whatever they say , It will not be Venky's or Kean's fault, It will all be the fans fault one way or another.
.
Sad but true what someone has said on here, Some times you have to make a stand....
By the posts on here that is what a lot are doing , But remember ,It not Kean's fault, Its not Venky's fault , Its the fans fault , For having a voice..

Jeez there's some pointless arguing going on here.

I appreciate feeling are running high at the moment, but still, why are we giving them the time of day?

Don't get me wrong, don't stop the witty banter. That soap opera one for instance, with the long lost brother was genuinely funny.

But harping on about attendances. Surely there's got to be something more fulfilling to do than take the goons on with that. We've been doing that one since we were allowed to put comments on this site.

The thing is you can't put people on ignore here, so if you're looking at things on your mobile and it's bad signal, it's a pain to scroll through the pointless. In these desperate times we need news as soon as we can get it!

Can someone ask this new Director of Communications one simple question: "What will Steve Kean's role be next season?" Perhaps he can communicate this to us all and earn some of that new improved salary. If he doesn't answer that perhaps he can answer a second question: "Does he actually know himself what Kean's role will be next season?" It is staggering that we are still in the dark. Are Venky's really taking the mickey here or what? Appointing a new Director of communications whose first statement is to say he will endeavour to improve communication and then leaving everyone in the dark?

Spot on - You have to appreciate the irony here. A total black-out of information on the future of Keano at the same time as appointing a Communications Director with a seat on the board - you could not make it up, and if you did no one would believe you!

My oh my, what a lot of asterisks, can't you spell? You are right about one thing, you may well be a pub team before long. Unfortunately the bit about this being your country is a little of an overstatement isn't it? In footballing terms I think you'll find that the country, at the moment, belongs to Man City, a proper "big" club. By the way, there are no skyscrapers in Burnley last time I looked and even if there were, as much as I hate Wovers, I wouldn't wish any other football fan dead, not even you you sad little twerp.

Why don't you take your fist out of your sister, you sad tw@t? F*ck off home, and post sh*t about your own club, eh? B*rnley are sh*t. You know it, i know. I'm 42, and never as long as i have been old enough to understand footballing rivalry have B*rnley been bigger, better supported or more successful. You're second fiddle. B*rnley are a small club with sh*t support. Now shove off shitehawk, and peddle your your poison on your own discussion forum. There's a good kid. T!t.

You are 42!!!! Jesus I was forgiving of most of the foul mouthed rubbish you write because i thought you were a teenager! . Grow up.

Unfortunately my sister died 18 years ago but she still has more life in her than Ewood next season. Now grow up sonny (42? The answer to life the universe and everything) and learn to spell.

You use the dead carcass of your sister to make a point? And you call me "childish"? Are there no depth to which people like you will plummet in order to score a few points on an internet message board. Get out of your basement and enjoy the sun. You silly-little-man.

Anybody out there just want news of our club and get bored to death with this banality?

kean out venky out

i will not be returning till kean as gone .anyone who wishes to go and support kean ,venkys(which is the case if you have renewed)will not be welcome at ewood when they up sticks (kean,venkys)as far as i am concerned.
anyone renewing is a traitor to the memory of jack walker and what he believed in.

so to all kean ,venky luvvies you go not to support rovers
.our rovers no longer exists till we get it back (TRAITORS)

YOU DINGLES NEED TO ADMIT WE ARE THE BETTER TEAM, always have been, always will be.

I hate Burnley and everything to do what that town, full of scum...
so I won't be apologising for anything, thanks.

Don't expect any new for a couple of weeks. Kean and his family have left today for a two week holiday in Barbados.
The man has no shame.

Mr Agnew

Where are you

Press officer where are you

The fans are waiting for your first words of wisdom

Where are you

Any body seen the press Officer

Hellooooooooor Agnew where are you

Not a good start Mr Agnew keeping the fans waiting

Note to myself must do better

Obviously Agnew = silence!!!

So we have a new Director of Communications or should that be Non-communication. Situation continues - totallly ignoring the fans and treating them like dirt but yet convinced that we should all renew our season tickets. It beggars belief that they seem intent on continuing this downward spiral of our great club. Venky's out, Kean out and all the other arse licking cronies.

**** to them, this will be my 3rd season not renewing my season ticket. shame on those fools who have renewed i am surprised it is so many. Sent email to club to explain i will not set foot in ewood till venkys and mrs spotheads toyboy are gone and had not 1 but 2 replys saying they are aware of the situation?

Anyone seen or heard from Agnew?

You are, of course, right. It is demeaning engaging with the B*rnley skip rats in this manner. However, i do talk all things BRFC and demolishing the Blackburn-B*rnley attendance myth is just one of them. I love presenting them with the facts and then watching as they lie, squirm, wriggle and then slowly descend into spittle sodden rants, spraying their PC monitors as they pound their keyboards from their bedrooms, (before they pound their sisters). It's childish as f*ck, i know. But as i said to a B*rnley guttersnipe earlier, what's more childish, "facts" and "stat's" that are sourced and provable or bar room hearsay and school yard myth? did you smash it and house claret (who dug up his sisters carcass to make a point) leave me feeling a bit dirty actually. It's taken a story about a fan boycott for them to start regurgitating that old attendance myth. It's all they've got. And it's really sad. No more will i bother with them.

Well said Jack, and thanks to Cold Pillow, good of you to zip up and walk way from that perpetual pointless p155ing contest.

We want Agnew

We want Agnew

We want Agnew

Has any one actually seen Agnew, does he exist,can he speak, is Agnew Kean in disguise?

Answers from BRFC please.

Agreed, and if you stay at home - but travel away - and boost away attendances it will only emphsise the fact that there is much latent support awaiting Keans removal.

Don't make me laugh with all this talk about away games, last season you 'premeirship giants' only took 500 to man city as just one example.
Its clear now that the money has gone and you're returning to the pre-walker days, only the true loyal fans will remain as before. I've no doubt that many of you will return to doing things other than watch lower league football, wigan perhaps!. As for the younger bstrds, a lesson in life that everyone wants to be associated where there is glory but loyalty is displayed when things are tough.

Loyal my rse.

Howe the lads

Once again another fine example of bitter hatred from the envy brigade, who show no compromise in their quest to prove that Burnley football club is bigger than Blackburn Rovers. What is it with you lot? Time and time again I come on here and question this poison hatred & rivalry that clearly means so much more to Burnley fans than Rovers fans. Get over it. We were are a club rich in tradition, as is Burnley. We ended up in an absolute rut, as did Burnley. Burnleys crowds in the late 70's early 80's were abysmal, as was Rovers. Then we got lucky and rich. So what? Is that what all this angers about? We won the league, got relegated, got promoted and had a steady ship until this lot took over. So what is this fascination with us? All I hear from dingles is ooohh our supports better than yours, we took 2 million to Wembley ooh we had 600,000 at Turf against Leyton Orient in the old 4th division. The week before that you had a crowd of 2 thousand! So fookin what. Were all hard cases and wanna fight b*strd fans, lets have it! Embarrassing. Are you one of them no ney never? Are you another hard dingle who wants to fight Rovers fans? You sad tw4ts. Get over us. It happened. We had 20 good years and it's over. Our tough sh1t. Our problem. We'll deal with it. So what happens come derby day? Are you gonna 'do us' this time? 34 years of humiliation, scaling roofs, smashing up town centres (your own!) and general hatred and abuse might just come to a head if you finally get what you've craved and dreamed of for years, to beat Rovers!! That's all you want isn't? Your obsession with Rovers is comical. Derby after derby you mouth off what your gonna do then SMASH...we win again. If by miracle (considering the shambles of a club we are at the minute) we get the usual 6 points, I fear for your sanity. Could you dingles cope with little Poxy Rovers, with our crowds of 2,000 cos we're all glory hunters, with no money, 5h1t team, worst manager and owners in the history of world football once again humbling Burnley, the mighty self proclaimed best supported club in Lancashire? The football world owes you nothing dingle. Your an insignificant zit on the football map, so insignificant, your existence and success is based on the failure of Blackburn Rovers. Pathetic but funny. See you derby day....bet your all excited about the fixture list aren't you. Maybe the good folk of Burnley (and there are some, I know few) will get a day off work on derby day seeing it means so much! RTID

This isn't out of any thoughts that we have a divine right to be a Premiership team and Championship is just not good enough, I carried on coming last time we were relegated. No, this is simply down to the fact that our club has had its heart ripped out and thrown away by incompetent fools who simply don't know what they're doing. People who have no respect whatsoever for the supporters.

That pretty much sums up the situation in the most eloquent way I have seen.

VENKYS AND YOUR STOOGE KEAN TAKE NOTE.

Does anyone remember that other waste of space named Agnew (Steve) who I think we signed from Barnsley,got injured and hardly played a game for us,not an unuasual scenario for us though is it.

Is there any way that we can get an e-petition going to get rid of Kean? I'm not really familiar with the working or setting up of such petitions, but I am confident that a great many football supporters, regardless of which club they support, will want to see the back of this imposter of a manager. Apart from his wife and Mrs Desai, everyone else knows that he is a bluffer and a bullsh*tter.

The present situation at Rovers shows where me and other fans fit in the scheme of things,mushrooms thats all,at least mushrooms don't pay to be kept in the dark.
Fans must not fight among themselves,KEAN is very clever helped by his friends he turned fan against fan to hide the truth He is doing it again by not speaking out now about his position at the club.
So lets use this forum to build a fan base that is united in their hatred of Kean.Football is tainted by money and greed fans are forced to attend games any day of the week any time of the day,We must get our club back for the future but the time is not long off when fans must unite to get football back.
While I'm at it cab we starve the Dingless of the attention they crave by ignoring their inane humourless posts.

I agree with your most of your sentiments Eddie particularly your comments regarding Dingles!
I do have an issue though with anyone who considers Rovers as 'their club' anymore. The club we grew up with, loved, and supported through generations no longer exists!
We should all stay away until the opportunity arises to 'Reclaim Our Rovers' then and only then should we return in our thousands to get behind the team once again.
Kean Out! Venkys Out!
R.T.I.D.

I just saw a short article on Life's A Pitch...more journos now taking the mess seriously:

Steve Kean may have taken Blackburn Rovers down, but he’s got no intention of leaving any time soon. In fact, according to reports, he appears to have convinced owners Venky’s not only that he is their best chance of returning to the Premier League, but also that he can persuade the soon-to-be-out-of-co
ntract starlet, Junior Hoilett, to sign a new deal. The Life’s A Pitch panel isn’t so sure.

“I think it’s turned toxic and the only way to sort this out is for him to go,” says the Daily Telegraph’s Jason Burt of Rovers boss Kean. “They need to cleanse the whole club. He doesn’t deserve to stay as manager, he didn’t do a very good job as manager. He’s created an atmosphere where Blackburn are seen as a pariah.”

Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror’s John Cross believes Kean’s chances of convincing Hoilett to stay are non-existent. “I can’t see that in a million years. If Junior Hoilett was going to stay, come what may, then why not sign a new contract? He’s a good player, but he’s another player that underachieved last season. That should raise question marks about him, but, more importantly, about Steve Kean and his ability to manage – motivate and man-manage. And I think he’s got so much left unanswered that I don’t see any way that he should remain in charge.”

In fact, such is the chaos at the club now that even surviving the Championship might prove to be a challenge, says The People’s Tom Hopkinson. “It’s been a crazy 18 months-two years since Venky’s came in. ‘Shambles’ is the only way to describe the whole scenario. Unless they cleanse it, I can’t see a way forward.”

Why oh why didn't/couldn't they see all this earlier?

I also read an article by Iain McIntosh about Kean on the same Life's A Pitch site:

It is an honest admission that the media should have listened to the Rovers fans all along:

For 18 months, their football club has been run into the ground and they have had to pay for the privilege of watching it happen. No one listened when they said that it would end in tears, no one believed them when they said their manager was hopelessly out of his depth. Then when relegation finally came, people said they were disgraceful for getting all upset about it. Who’d be a Blackburn Rovers fan?

Venky’s have treated those supporters in much the same way that they treat their chickens. They’ve kept them in the dark, ignored their clucking protestations and doomed them to a messy end. Let me count the ways they failed. Their first error was employing an agent, Jerome Anderson, to advise on football matters. Experienced manager Sam Allardyce was quickly sacked, allegedly for not being enthusiastic enough about Anderson’s clients. He was replaced by a rookie, someone who was far more enthusiastic about Anderson’s clients, mainly because he himself was one of them. And Steve Kean wasn’t the only horse from the Anderson stable to get a run-out. John Jensen arrived to take up the assistant manager job. On merit, I’m sure. The problem with getting an agent to look after recruitment is that the more cynically minded might suggest that vested interests were at work. Fortunately, Anderson emphatically allayed those fears by signing… erm… his own son, Myles. He still hasn’t played a single game.

Venky’s have been a disaster. From their space cadet ambition of finishing “fourth or fifth”, as if there wasn’t much difference between the two, to their bold claim that, “if we need to spend £5million, we’ll spend £5million” they have turned the club into a laughing stock. But the giggles ended abruptly last December when Barclays were forced to order them to deposit double that amount into their account just to cover the wage bill. It’s one thing not to invest; it’s another to barely cover costs. And then there’s the rumour, well-placed and multi-sourced, that they were unaware of the concept of relegation. It might not be true, but it’s a measure of their incompetence that you can’t be sure.

The much-maligned Kean, as I said here at Christmas, isn’t the biggest problem at Blackburn, but he isn’t very far down the list. He has won just 13 league games in 18 months. Wigan have won six since the end of March. Kean appears to live on a different existential plane to the rest of us, some kind of pink-clouded nirvana of rainbows and sugarplums, Ronaldinho and impending Champions League football. The fact that he hasn’t immediately cleared his desk and walked away to think about what he’s done is staggering. What would constitute resignation form in Kean’s world?

Sure, his dignity under fire was commendable, and there can be no justification for the death threats and promises of physical violence that he received, but he would have had a far quieter life if he was actually any good at his job. His selections have been confusing, his tactics have been worse and the sight of his imperilled players failing to muster a shot of any kind against Tottenham last weekend will live long in the memory for Blackburn fans.

Those fans, of course, realised all of this long ago. You can blame them for focusing their firepower on Kean instead of Venky’s, but given that the owners hardly ever turned up to a game, they’d have had to shout pretty loud for them to notice. They’ve been blamed for protesting during matches and not supporting their team, but what were they supposed to do? Don the face paints, hold a party in the top tier, link hands, sing “Kumbaya” and then throw a tantrum when everyone had gone? What would have been the point of that? They’re livid and they’ve got every right to show their fury.

Manchester United fans can sow discontent with green and gold scarves and everyone applauds. Liverpool fans can shout “get out of our club” at their ruinous owners and chant for the return of Kenny Dalglish and everyone salutes their pluck. But when Blackburn supporters rage and roar against the usurpers who seek to annihilate their football club, they’re a disgrace? There are double standards at work here.

Venky’s are a shambles, a plague of stupidity visited upon a team that needed to box clever. The Premier League are a disgrace for allowing yet another club to be savaged by morons. The hapless Kean should never have been given the job in the first place, let alone been allowed to keep it for 18 months. Of all the parties involved, the supporters are the only ones who are innocent. They don’t deserve our contempt. They deserve our sympathy.

Well said Iain but again its all a little late mate...

James Fallon said "I believe having more fans in the stadium will make us a more attractive proposition to any buyers out there." This is not so.

Agreed, and if you stay at home - but travel away - and boost away attendances it will only emphsise the fact that there is much latent support awaiting Keans removal.

Don't make me laugh with all this talk about away games, last season you 'premeirship giants' only took 500 to man city as just one example.
Its clear now that the money has gone and you're returning to the pre-walker days, only the true loyal fans will remain as before. I've no doubt that many of you will return to doing things other than watch lower league football, wigan perhaps!. As for the younger bstrds, a lesson in life that everyone wants to be associated where there is glory but loyalty is displayed when things are tough. And look at you lot, true colours shining through!
Welcome back to the footballing middle class, that's quite a fall you've had and your pride must have taken a bruising. So do you lot stay and fight your way back?...oh no...walk away...say's it all!
Any of you silly bstrds been on the land registery website to find out who has title, etc. over the mental hospital where you train or do you continue to look at each other in that stupid bstrd way only you lot can manage in wonder as to who owns what?
Loyal my rse.

Howe the lads

Once again another fine example of bitter hatred from the envy brigade, who show no compromise in their quest to prove that Burnley football club is bigger than Blackburn Rovers. What is it with you lot? Time and time again I come on here and question this poison hatred & rivalry that clearly means so much more to Burnley fans than Rovers fans. Get over it. We were are a club rich in tradition, as is Burnley. We ended up in an absolute rut, as did Burnley. Burnleys crowds in the late 70's early 80's were abysmal, as was Rovers. Then we got lucky and rich. So what? Is that what all this angers about? We won the league, got relegated, got promoted and had a steady ship until this lot took over. So what is this fascination with us? All I hear from dingles is ooohh our supports better than yours, we took 2 million to Wembley ooh we had 600,000 at Turf against Leyton Orient in the old 4th division. The week before that you had a crowd of 2 thousand! So fookin what. Were all hard cases and wanna fight b*strd fans, lets have it! Embarrassing. Are you one of them no ney never? Are you another hard dingle who wants to fight Rovers fans? You sad tw4ts. Get over us. It happened. We had 20 good years and it's over. Our tough sh1t. Our problem. We'll deal with it.

Well said.

Your post was from the heart.

Were you the person who was talking to a Sheff Weds fan about local derbies and the Sheff Weds fan didn't even know were B*rnley was?

Priceless.

I promised i wouldn't engage with any more B*rnley kids (especially on in such a nice day) but you're not a B*rnley fan and this isn't the attendance p*ssing contest.

Which we win anyway.

A few people have pointed out the vile and immature nature of many of the B*rnley posters.

I mean, they're not even funny, it's just guttersnipe skip rat potty mouthed name calling.

One of them even dug up his dead sister's carcass to make a point about his dead sister having more life in her than Ewood Park.

Seriously.

Would you ever do that?
And doesn't it make you fell, y'know, "dirty" engaging with them?

Scroll past their names as soon as you see one.

Believe it or not, i sometimes manage to do that.

I make a solemn pledge - I will never reply to a B*rnley shitehawk again.

(The comic genius that is) KDG - over to you.

My oh my, what a lot of asterisks, can't you spell? You are right about one thing, you may well be a pub team before long. Unfortunately the bit about this being your country is a little of an overstatement isn't it? In footballing terms I think you'll find that the country, at the moment, belongs to Man City, a proper "big" club. By the way, there are no skyscrapers in Burnley last time I looked and even if there were, as much as I hate Wovers, I wouldn't wish any other football fan dead, not even you you sad little twerp.

Why don't you take your fist out of your sister, you sad tw@t? F*ck off home, and post sh*t about your own club, eh? B*rnley are sh*t. You know it, i know. I'm 42, and never as long as i have been old enough to understand footballing rivalry have B*rnley been bigger, better supported or more successful. You're second fiddle. B*rnley are a small club with sh*t support. Now shove off shitehawk, and peddle your your poison on your own discussion forum. There's a good kid. T!t.

You are 42!!!! Jesus I was forgiving of most of the foul mouthed rubbish you write because i thought you were a teenager! . Grow up.

Unfortunately my sister died 18 years ago but she still has more life in her than Ewood next season. Now grow up sonny (42? The answer to life the universe and everything) and learn to spell.

You use the dead carcass of your sister to make a point? And you call me "childish"? Are there no depth to which people like you will plummet in order to score a few points on an internet message board. Get out of your basement and enjoy the sun. You silly-little-man.

Anybody out there just want news of our club and get bored to death with this banality?

I wondered when you'd stick your arrogant snout in.

Not too banal for you to read and post a comment on though, was it, eh?

You even managed to get through a post without creepily mentioning Mrs O'Keefe.

Nothing more banal than your monochrome mediocrity, fella.

I do have to ask, what is this thing about Mrs O'Keefe that keeps getting brought up?
