The muppets are on the move.

Wrexham have sold more tickets than B/Burn

Posted: **Wed Jan 24, 2024 10:52 pm**

It’s a place of misery!

Posted: **Wed Jan 24, 2024 10:57 pm**

Venky's must be quivering at the thought of this.

A 6ft banner, that'll show them.

Posted: **Wed Jan 24, 2024 11:03 pm**

What these brain donors don't realise is that even if the Venky's left tomorrow, wrote off all the debt and sold the club for £1, there won't be a queue of people wanting to take over a club losing hundreds of thousands of pounds a week (400k a week in 21/22).

It's a bottomless pit that the Venky's keep feeding.

A banner advertising Bitdefender?!

After letting their captain go out on loan and their run of results can they afford to can JDT?

Posted: **Wed Jan 24, 2024 11:28 pm**

It's interesting that at 15,428 their average gate is the lowest in the Division except for soon to be relegated Rotherham.

So thanks to the Venkys they are actually punching well above their weight in terms of income.

The natives are getting restless.

Living over here in Darwen is starting to become very interesting all of a sudden.

Start communicating? With the fans???

Well that’s going to pee this messageboard admins off…other clubs do it too

Isn't the reason they don't go is because one of them was attacked?

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 7:49 am**

Lost a few again have they?

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 7:55 am**

Imagine the prospect of facing a protest from the most gutless spinless fan base in the country.

Even Reading have shown more fight than the most self entitled lot. Just a shame they didn't draw Man Utd or Liverpool at home again to show everyone else just how plastic they are.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 7:57 am**

With jow they are shipping goals should they not be complaining about Shitdefenders ?

It’s a bit of light relief after a bad result for us watching this lot gradually implode.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 7:59 am**

Imagine how they feel about never seeing the owners in the country never mind just blanking them outside the ground.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 8:09 am**

1. The ultimate aim is for Venky's to sell the club to ownes who are present.

3. If there is no response from the initial aims, (so presumably to Venkys selling the club) the protest movement enters it's next phase.
Ohhh very fiendish is this...... "At that point I will get out my 6 foot banner"

Is this poster for real???

And never doing interviews with local press, or attending games

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 8:12 am**

Didn't they do something weird once a few year back where they announced they were going all make a late entrance for a game on Sky to highlight how hard done to they are and about 20 turned up during the first half.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 8:16 am**

Perhaps the terrifying prospect of a six foot banner could be used in Ukraine to frighten the Russians into leaving.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 8:25 am**

They should be careful what they wish for. Probably not a massive queue of potential owners who want to take on a loss making business.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 8:39 am**

Would the banner not need to be in the Riverside Stand to be seen by the TV cameras and unleash it's full terrifying effects?

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 8:45 am**

May I suggest getting relegated, might get the attention of the owners.

15,428 is a decent average for the Championship. Didn't we get promoted with fewer watching us in 2014?

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 8:53 am**

I’m sure we could find someone to hire a plane pulling a banner behind it over deadwood with a message on it to rile up the few who attend?

Their average crowd is vastly inflated by giving away teams up to 7000 tickets, unlike anybody else in the division.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 9:09 am**

Their average gate is surprisingly high tbh, although artificially bumped up from the games with Leeds and PNE

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 9:21 am**

They are artificially inflated.

They reckon about 6k were actually in attendance for the Huddersfield game.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 9:26 am**

“ 1. The ultimate aim is for Venky's to sell the club to new owners who are present, communicate with the fans and have the best interests of the club & fans at heart, and
the community it is part of.”

There's the first stumbling block…

The delusion that they think someone out there has the money to buy the club and its debts and treat it as a priority is astonishing.

The aim should be just for Venkys to engage more in the club

The next phase is very strongly worded letter.

They could threaten a cavalry charge on their "ahem" special friends.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 9:39 am**

Feeling down? Feeling under the weather? Got the January blues?

Have a look at this and laugh your arse off.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 9:53 am**

They were very fortunate that Venkys bought the club. Walker Trust were delighted and Venkys must now have massive regrets. Can't imagine a Wrexham style takeover at Deadwood and surely the saner types who support them must realize this.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 9:58 am**

Don't really understand the criticism of anti-Venky Rovers fans. They bought an established Premier League club and turned it into a crap Championship team (with a stint in League One thrown in). It's a disgrace that that club runs with such losses and under decent owners it wouldn't.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 10:03 am**

I’d hazard a guess they’ve run at a loss most years since about 1991.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 10:12 am**

Rovers fans are revolting

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 10:19 am**

I'm hoping the Venky's sell to a Notts County/Oldham/Barnet/Darlington type ownership group/individual.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 10:22 am**

Just a duplicate from the transfer rumour thread, but apparently they have turned down an £18.5m bid from Crystal Palace for Adam Wharton. They must be expecting to be able to get even more money for him to turn that down.

Blackburn Rovers aren't big enough to spend decades in the PL they were always going to fall from grace once the Walker money had either gone or the PL became so big it was no longer a factor.

The losses are incurred because the Venky's throw £20 million into them every season because otherwise they aren't really big enough to be at the top of the Championship either.....

Is that logic not entirely backwards? The losses aren't incurred because Venky's throw money in. Venky's throw money in because they are running the club at a massive loss. Because the club is not being run well. The solution to that it not Venky's forever, it is better owners.

Isn't there a guy down the road in Bury who can help us out and
cock things up, even better than the chicken Georges of this world.

Give him a bell !!!!!

Virtually every team in the Championship runs at massive losses, it's nothing to do with the owners (other than they all keep subsidising it). For the past 5 years total wages in the Championship have been higher than total revenues.

Preston are a good example, generally around mid-table each year but still need big subsidies from their owner.

Really surprised we arent in for him, hes a fantastic young player thst would fit in nicely alongside Berge.
Possible that hes told us where to go already of course.l being from down the road

I didn't think about that. Quite a few Championship teams have huge away followings given the possibility. The away fans there must make so much more noise than Rovers'.

What a bunch of sad, pathetic, Lonsdale slip on
Wearing wet wipes these lot are.

I feel another boycott approaching....

Mind you, who'd notice?
