It really hurts
Ahead of tonight’s game with Wigan and with Rovers on the brink of relegation I just can’t help thinking the worse days are still to come. Nearly every decision made by the owners, Manager and Board have been decisions which have ultimately got us in this position. The excuses are beginning already with Kean claiming the loss of experienced players has cost us dear. Well wait a minute, but they didnt just float out the door, you sold them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every year teams get relegated, its part and parcel of the game, as supporters its hard to take, but we deal … Continue reading
The day I met Kean’s bodyguard
Friday 23rd December and the BRFC Action group carried out their first non match day protest against Steve Kean. This was held at the Brockhall Training centre. It was a cold day, but at the time it was felt by the group members that it was the natural progression to have a protest away from Ewood. I arrived at the Training centre where many supporters had already made the choice to brave the sub zero conditions to continue to air their voice that Steve Kean was not the man to take Rovers forward. This week also coincided with the Lancashire … Continue reading
Is this really Blackburn Rovers as we know it?
Blackburn Rovers supporters yesterday once again took to the streets in protest against the Management of Blackburn Rovers. Its been 7 months since the first protest took place prior to home win against Arsenal, but those 7 months have left more questions than answers. Supporters worldwide have concerns they wish to be answered, However to date the club have dug their heels in. What started as a campaign to have a Manager removed whose record was appalling, and has continued to be so, has turned into a full scale campaign to get Venkys to sell the club to someone … Continue reading
You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.
A win against Fulham, a draw at Everton, the jubilation of being out of the bottom 3, then I choked on my tea as Bolton pulled of a surprise by beating Liverpool. Was I surprised because the £5 accumulator I put on for Bolton, Huddersfield, Anderlecht and PAOK to win had come in, or that Rovers had given themselves a mountain to climb by sticking with Steve Kean when all logic pointed to him being replaced months ago Blackburn currently sit in the relegation zone and the next 9 days will prove to be the most crucial in over 20 … Continue reading
Lets concentrate on root of the problem
After nearly four months of protesting, personal plea’s from Local sponsor Wayne Wild (MD WEC), Jack Straw MP, Ian Battersby, The supporters of Blackburn Rovers are no closer to knowing what Venkys long term ambitions are for Rovers. Agent Fees are up by 300% Operating losses have risen from less that £2 Million to over £18 million in Venkys first 6 months in charge Rovers are Bottom of the league Barclays hold debentures on ALL rovers assets and future income as security of the increasing debt, which is £26 Million Reports of players not playing for financial reasons. Reports of … Continue reading
Supporters hearts broken but resolve remains
Another game goes by and with it another defeat, Blackburn have recorded just 2 wins in 16 league matches this season and remain rooted in the relegation zone. All season we have heard comments from Manager Steve Kean saying the team is in a false position and we have not had any luck. Is this the truth? I strongly believe there is 7 or 8 teams in the Premiership who have much worse squads than us, but the table does not lie. We are in this position because we deserve to be. Steve Kean has managed just 7 wins in … Continue reading
Solutions not problems
Being a Blackburn Rovers supporter is certainly becoming an emotional roller coaster, and one like I have never been on before. I have always supported my team and go to games to support them to win. Saturday was no different, I was confident of a win and even predicted the 4-2 win on my post on BRFCS, sadly that was not all I predicted. If we win a section of supporters lay into supporters who have actively been protesting and showing their displeasure at how our club is being run both on and off the pitch. If we lose then … Continue reading
Rovers hit rock bottom
A third of the way through the season and Rovers are Rock Bottom, In 12 months Venkys and Steve Kean have turned a top 10 side who was recognised in the football world as role model of how a club should be run, and turned it into something like the old milk advert were “If you don’t drink lots of milk you will only be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley” All the things that was right about Rovers are now all the things which are wrong about the club. In a meeting I had with the club a … Continue reading
The clouds gather in the stands as this is now Personal
Another weekend passes by and another game were Rovers have failed to bag all three points. I woke up yesterday in buoyant mood, looking forward to going to the DW stadium. With Wigan on an 8 game losing streak, and struggling for goals, I genuinely thought that no other outcome than a Rovers victory was possible. I met up with lots of supporters around 12pm as a massive following from Blackburn took over Wigan Town Centre. The supporters were in good spirits although a bad taste in people’s mouths was evident after more crazy comments from the Manager with his … Continue reading
Rovers Til I Die
Its been a pulsating last 12 months as the team that runs through my blood, Blackburn Rovers has gone from a well run proud town team to a Steven King nightmare (There is no other words I can write to describe it, without breaking my sensor rule) Jack Walker seems a long distant memory, as every value he rebuilt our club on, has had the life strangled out of it. I have been going to watch Rovers since 1983, but it was not until around 1987 that I really understood how special it was to support the team from the … Continue reading
