  Anybody who has not bought a season ticket and believes that it will bring venkys to their knees are deluded,attendances went down last year but venkys sat back while Rome burned.I have not renewed beacause I no longer get anything out of watching my club stumble from one disaster to another I just think its time to get on with it.
  Iwill add that when I was younger nothing would have stopped me attending it just felt right I can understand fans who have bought season tickets and no way do I class them as traitors they just want to watch their team play I hope we do well and I hope they all enjoy the matches
  I hate Kean for the way he has made me feel about match days but if he gets promotion I'll be glad for the fans.
  So lets stop slagging fellow fans off the fact that it seems easy to set fan against fan is one reason that demos have been a failure because the fans were never prepared to stand together.

  My family of four, my sister's family of four, my two work colleagues - one have bought season tickets. Half of us have been season ticket holders for over 30 years, Iv been going longer than that. It doesnt matter what anybody on here says, you can not make any arguement to support the suggestion I/we must not really be proper fans. Iv seen it all at Ewood believe me - until last season - and I got to the stage where my feelings of anger and frustration at not being able to influence what was going on, completely overtook the actual football. I stuck it out to the bitter last game and what a farce of a circus it was. Last season, I witnessed, Kean on almost a daily basis stuttering delusional predictions to the press, releasing damaging accusations about fans, fans being body searched at the gates, fans arguing and fighting in the Blackburn End, chickens on the pitch, drunks on the pitch, pundits calling us muppets, thugs, disgrace, accusing us of racism and making death threats, arguments amongst my family after games. I could go on but Im sure most of you know what Im talking about. It was the most cr#p season I can remember and it was all down to a small group of deceitful, incompetent, irresponsible, clueless, dishonest people who have no connection with Blackburn Rovers and dont give a fly's **** about those of us who do. Now excuse me if Im wrong, but nothing has changed, it's got worse. The major player in that fiasco Kean, is still in his job and we have now got the pleasure of another imposter to help him. Against that backdrop, Danny Murphy coming to get his last pay off is completely insignificant to me. I want to make this point on behalf of everybody who has made the heartbreaking decision not to renew tickets. We have not done it because we think we can starve Venkys of enough money to make them throw in the towel. Of course it wont make any difference to them. We are however doing the only thing we can do to let them know we are not prepared to be fed any more of that chicken s''t like last season, we are not lemmings that will trundle along whatever they serve up or whatever lies they give. Why is that so hard to understand? For me, if Venkys had sacked Kean this summer, I would have reconsidered because it would have been one gesture to the fans that they recognise they made a big mistake and want to rectify. Until such a move is made - not recruiting a failed PR bloke to General Manager and a Malaysian no-mark to Global Advisor and 35 year old Danny Murphy to our useless midfield. Not what most of us wanted.

  not hard to understand at all.
