Place of Misery protest

Post by Spike » Wed Apr 19, 2023 8:12 pm

Are we going to do something in the 20th minute to highlight the fact that the ticket allocation is so unreasonable
I don’t propose making the playing surface Orange because that would improve it
In Spain they did a white handkerchief protest where everyone simply waived one then peacefully put it back in their pockets

Do what you like, kidder.

Best response is probably to just pump them again.

I think the best protest we can do is absolutely batter them

let's hope we are Champions after Saturday and are 3-0 up at Ewood after an hour, 30 minutes of 3-0 to the Champions would sound rather nice !

I’d rather we let QPR have a point and spend Tuesday night chanting “We won the league, at Ewood Park”!

Stand up for the champions
That’s why your staying down
Couldn’t sell all your tickets
Rovers came to Burnley and hardly touched the ball
23 23 undefeated
Who put the ball

There should be a decent rotation of songs for this game. And even 2k can make a racket as Cov proved last night

The comparison is way off, a spouse( lost or otherwise) refers to a loved one.

Those of us that have been fans since when we were s**t are not likely to do that

Our dislike of them and the hope that one day we'd be beating them again kept us going at times

Plus, what is football without local rivalry?

(without the stupid hooliganism aspect of course)

I was thinking something similar and am now wondering if I perhaps ought to be flagging it up to the Moderators and getting him banned?

It’s been done plenty of times, but I’d go for the rather simple banner held up across the front that says ‘football without fans is nothing’.

Individuals/owners that run clubs that that actively deter or stop fans from coming to the ground, especially for such petty reasons like this this, need to get out of the game.

Rovers are ****. Always have been. Always will be. How’s that for rivalry. I’ve hated them for over 70 years and will continue to do so as long as I am alive and probably when I’m dead ! Oh and congrats to the Coventry keeper last night lol

A Wovers forum has a thread on the Dingles that at present stands at 163 pages!! how is that for obsessed? posting anything on there slightly poking fun at them gets you an instant ban

Some of the comments recently come very close to inciting violence against Clarets fans. They really are a sad and bitter bunch.

Just a simple banner saying COWARDS would suffice.

Along with plenty of inflatable trophies

No guarantee we are going to get anything at Ewood. Get the job done on Saturday to save a massive embarrassment if they beat us.

I’ve looked on now and again, weirdly 90% of the posts are from closet Blackburn fans, really sucks up at times so they don’t ban him, makes me cringe 😂

Obviously Burnley's modern education system has served you well.
