    Agnew is quietly confident with the S/T sales thus far all things considered ?

    Just another posturing prat with attempts at putting a shine on an abysmal declining support.

    Likening these attendances to the last stint in the Championship is utter folly, and in my opinion fudging the the figures. Although according to him he doesn't fudge the figures !

    8500 S/T's quoted as sold ? This is at least 10,000 down on previous seasons and this is with the very reasonably priced S/T's.

    Equating 2012/2013 S/T's to that of 1999/2000 is preposterous considering the price was higher than that which it is now also the club even after the relegation had the machinery and ambition coupled with, and most importantly - a club that was run by FOOTBALL people with decades of achievement under their belt.

    40 years I have followed our beloved club over land & sea and never have I felt the need to question the wisdom of those who ran our club - ever !

    This lot, and in particular the 'Odious One' have isolated, ostracized and humiliated me with the shabby disrespectful way they have gone about wrecking BRFC.

    The whole lot of them who purport to have the best interests of BRFC at heart are liars, blagueurs and amateur at best and I will not renew or attend whilst these rotters are at the helm and BRFC are at their mercy.

    It is wrong and looks like the wrong thing will carry on until someone comes along and kicks these tinkering meddling b'stards into touch.

    Failing that then this supporter will never set foot down at Ewood Park until at the very least they rid us of the 'marginalized odious one'.

    Pathetic.

    Arte et labore
    Woody - We sold 20,000 ST's in 2010.
    .
    If we have sold only 8,000 (should we believe any figure?) despite extending the early bird discount for 4 months until nearly kick off time (perhaps it should be renamed the crispy duck offer?) then that shows how strong the fans are prepared to be with this.
    .
    Ewood will be like a morgue. Can't see many walk on fans and if away fans in the championship are much lower you could have a 31,600 stadium about a quarter full.

    Kean out!

Turk set for loan after impressing on Rovers tour

BLACKBURN Rovers will look to complete the loan signing of Colin Kazim-Richards this week after the Turk impressed on trial in Nijmegen.

The Galatasaray striker played in Rovers’ behind closed doors 0-0 ‘training match’ draw with NEC Nijmegen, after the initial fixture was called off by Dutch Police due to the threat of crowd trouble.

The 23-year-old did enough to convince Rovers he was worth pursuing their interest in him and they will bid to capture him on a season-long loan over the next few days.

Rovers are also set to complete the signing of Portuguese midfielder Diogo Rosado from Sporting Lisbon after he passed his medicals on Friday.

The Lancashire Telegraph understands the 22-year-old attacking midfielder will put pen to paper tomorrow, to become Rovers’ fifth Portuguese signing of the summer.

Rovers are also still waiting to hear whether there bid has been accepted for Huddersfield Town striker Jordan Rhodes, as they look to replace long term injury absentee Leon Best.

Kazim-Richards can play either on the wing or as a striker and had prev-iously been on trial at West Ham.

The 25-year-old played for Bury, Brighton and Sheffield United earlier in his career, before moving to Fenerbahce in 2007.

He moved on to Galatasaray in 2011 but was on loan at Olympiacos last season.

Rosado joins Rovers on a free transfer having impressed during a loan spell at Portuguese first division side Feirense last season.

Liverpool and Chelsea have been reported to have shown interest in him in the past, with his Sporting Lisbon contract now up.

Meanwhile, Stoke City are understood to be preparing a loan bid for want away midfielder Steven Nzonzi.

Rovers are prepared to let him leave the club temporarily but still believe he has a part to play in the club’s future.

Summer signing Dickson Etuhu made his Rovers debut in yesterday’s behind closed doors training match against NEC Nijmegen, following his move from Fulham on Friday.

Rovers fans were unable to see him in action though after the fixture at NEC was called off by police in fear of crowd trouble.

A training match was hastily arranged between the two sides elsewhere, with fans not allowed in on police orders.
