Disconnected

Am I the only person who is feeling increasingly disconnected from Rovers the longer the farcical circus that is Venky's continues?

I mean, of course I still adore the club, having been a fan since I was knee high to a grasshopper, but the longer VenKean is in charge, the less I seem to care about results and it seems like I'm just being ripped away from Ewood.

I Just wish for some "warts and all" honesty and truth to come out, and at this point, to be honest I don't care if it IS "we're asset stripping", at least I'd understand that, even if I didn't like it!

We sureley must have those with Rover's Hearts burning to 'spill' Maybe John Williams? Tom Finn? SKA? the Admiral? I can't believe there's any truth in the "keep Schtum" deals, maybe I'm too naiive...

I hope people close to the club do come out and spill the beans as I would love to know what goes on behind closed doors. Shame it hasn't happened yet, hopefully it will soon. Would add some much needed support against what is happening to the club.

As I'm hopefully going to be off to uni this year, coupled with the fact that we might not be in the PL for a long time after this season, I really want to see a game before the end of the season. However, I want that last home game to be like the old(er) days, where I could go to a game knowing we could potentially get something, rather than going thinking we haven't a chance.

Under the current regime I'm not going to go to that last game, I may reconsider if things change, but I doubt it will do. I just hope that the potential break from Ewood doesn't sever ties completely.

Jerome "I cannot walk around Blackburn" why would you want to? I don't suppose you pop into Greggs for a sausage roll, apparently you don't do any paid work for the club and frankly I wouldn't recognise you if you bit me on the behind.

Kean and his children being bullied, sorry child with learning difficulties. Sorry are his difficulties relevant? And frankly having a role model like you automatically puts him at a disadvantage! He lives down South, now frankly 18 months ago nobody had heard of Steve Kean so I take it every child called Kean is getting bullied?

Absolute pile of horrendous toss and basically defamatory!

It is comments like that which sum up the situation at Rover's which other fans don't seem to understand. People feeling the need to stay away from the club they have supported their whole lives due to a regime that has taken away the joy the club used to give to so many people. Ewood was and always will be to me a special place, it is a shame that part of what made it special is being taken away and won't return until we have a change at the top. What is sad is that it is not just me that feels like that, it seems like it is the majority.
RTM08, I hope it is not the complete severing of ties from Ewood for you, as like me I am sure it has given you a lot of joy (as well as sadness) over the years!

I'd love to see how MOTD, SSN etc would explain an empty Ewood park on a "big match" just tumbleweed and silence. Would put the "some fans" or "small minority" to bed, but conversley that little bit of My Blue and White heart would disappear that day, that's when hope is all lost.

I think the half-r r r r r ed (See what I did there? those are "R's" ) Journalism thinks Fans are upset because we may get relegated, not because of the state of the club. To be frank, With SA & JW at the helm, I wouldn't care if we were in League 1! as long as we kept our soul, even if it was an engineered soul that was portrayed!

Reading back through this thread actually gives me some confidence.

The fans remain the heartbeat of any club.

One day....

Just passing through but in response to the OP - no, you're not the only one. I've lost a hell of a lot of interest in the entire sport of football because of the situation to be honest.
