Rovers Fans Forum welcome more support

THE Blackburn Rovers Fans Forum is welcoming involvement from a greater number of supporters in an attempt to restore contact with owners Venky’s.

Nine members of the club’s official fans forum travelled to India in October, to express their concerns about the running of the club.

They returned feeling reassured about Rovers’ future but have now expressed their disappointment that they have no communication from Venky’s since then.

The forum, however, is keen to keep working with the club to improve relations with supporters and has invited more fans to get involved.

A statement said: “When Venky’s invited a group of fans forum members to join the club’s trip to Pune in early October we had high hopes that this represented a commitment to improved communications with the fans.

“During our meeting with Balaji Rao we were led to believe that this was the opportunity for a new start.

“Since we returned we have had no communication from the owners and we are disappointed expectations set at that meeting have unfortunately not been followed through to date.

“Nevertheless our relationship with the management team at Ewood Park continues to be good and it is clear that they are committed to continuing to work together with us.

“We hope that through local management we can develop clearer communication links with the club’s owners in Pune and will continue to provide a voice for all Rovers fans.

“The forum recognises that many fans feel remote from its work. As a result we plan to open up our pre-meets, which are held prior to the meetings with the club and set the agenda for those meetings.

“In addition vacancies on the forum occur from time to time and we would welcome new applications for membership.”

Anyone interested in becoming a member or attending a pre-meet can email secretary John Wareing at roversfansforum@hotmail.com

so, in summary we went all that way to india and the venkys nodded and smiled at us and then ignored us.
.
the outcome of the fans forum attempts to discuss the plight of rovers is the same as messrs wild and bettersby, jack straw, BwDC, finn and williams, Lancashire Telegraph, protesters, ordinary supporters.
.
lets be clear the venkys have no obligation to talk to anybody - when has nay chelsea supporter group discussed all matters stamford bridge with comrade abramovich, similarly cuddly ken at dirty leeds..... however, all the above are desperately concerned about the future of
their club and at the very least want genuine reassurances from the owners.
.
never mind at least the pies are warm.

Unfortunately they may be well meaning but they are a bunch of naive fools to even consider that the Venky's are going to communicate constructively with them. The past is a very firm indicator of what Venky's are like. They bought the club to promote their brand and this is what they have achieved all be it in a way they didn't imagine!! They have no interest in the club and never will have. They will bail out at some point when their so called "honour and keeping face" amongst their own community allows .

If after speaking with them in pune and got the message that they would be happy to discuss with the fans, and are then completely ignored like all the rest that have tried to have dialogue with them,the message must surely be loud and clear, they have no interest in the fans,its sponsors,the local media and even politicians.As far as i am concearned the quicker they leave the better.Then the club and its loyal followers can start to build back the bridges that Venkys have obliterated.

I feel sorry for the Fans Forum previously they seemed to have influence with the club on issues like unreserved seating now they can only communicate with an ineffective group of administrators at Ewood who have no overall control of what is going on.

Does anyone at Ewood have the power to remove the manager? If not then naturally ticket sales, merchandise and inevitably revenue will decrease. The whole situation is illogical Venky's have removed so many people from positions and then not replaced them.

The answer of course is for new ownership, sadly it doesnt look forthcoming

Well said midas.
We can keep saying until we're blue (and white) in the face that if you want some dialogue with someone you don't start off by calling the all the names under the sun - even if they do deserve it.
I said months ago that, while all true supporters may feel more angry than they've ever been, it's no good using vitriolic poison in the posts against Venkys, Kean or the man who shall remain nameless. What we need are articulate, well-reasoned arguments without the abuse, and then maybe - albeit a very small maybe - we might get somewhere.

Spot on. Exactly what I have been saying all along.
-
The Venkys see everyone else as being below them, and themselves superior as owners, they therefore believe they owe us no explanation or two way communication. The fans forum was all a token gesture to make it look like they were listening to us, as they needed to appease the fans based on all of the protests and unrest.
-
Looking back on it, I am surprised they even did the fans forum in the first place...its goes completely against the policy of completely ignoring everyone associated with the club and screwing everything up blindly without any care or concern for the club!!

Dan11 says...
1:31pm Wed 15 Feb 12

The Venkys do not realise that football is a public servce, a public service to the fans. If you do not have fans you do not have a football club. Therefore, the one thing you do not do is lie and screw over the fans because if you do that you lose money and you lose the club!!
-
I guess its too late now for my lesson on football ownership to the Venkys!!
-
Football is not a business and it never was you idiots!!!

Don't you think that 4 months from the venkeys meeting they may have at least responded to our very serious concerns about the total lack of management leadership from them. Times up get, wake up it's tooooooooooo flipping late. They are a complete ambaressment to our club, and their spokesman just takes the Michael out of us every time he opens his mouth. Just support the team that's put out on the field and hope, wish and pray we get out this shambles.

WILL VENKY’S SEEK LEGAL ACTION??
With the Venkys brand name in tatters throughout the world due to their association with the failing Blackburn Rovers, will Venky’s seek damages for being badly advised by the people they employed to advise them?
If they consider they have been damaged both professionally, personally and financially they could seek legal redress for damages.
Just who they would do that from is not clear because according to their ‘advisor’ Jerome Anderson neither he or his company have played any part in policy at the club, as he stated publically on Sky TV Sports News on 10th January 2012. Anderson denied any involvement in matters including the departures of manager Sam Allardyce, chairman John Williams, and chief executive Tom Finn. He also denied any involvement in the appointment of the worst manager in Blackburn’s history, Steve Kean or the recruitment of any players including his son Myles, on a Premiership contract. So that’s alright then! So who do Venky’s sue?
On their own admission the Rao family stated they had no knowledge of running a premiership football club and were appointing advisors to do so. According to press reports those advisors were allegedly SEM Kentaro Sports Agency, headed by Jerome Anderson and including his associate director / advisor Charlie Nicholas. However in the face of Anderson’s denials just who has been advising the Venky’s?
If Blackburn are relegated from the Premiership, which is looking more than likely, the Venky group could claim damages in excess of seventy million pounds in lost revenue and probably more besides.
Could it be that the reason Venky’s have failed to invest in new players of any stature and kept Steve Kean in place, when managers all around him are being fired left right and centre, Is that Venky’s embrace relegation so they can seek legal redress and possibly even place the club into administration.
OR IS THAT TAKING CONSPIRACY THEORIES TO FAR? YOU DECIDE!
With the lack of transparency coming out of Ewood Park and India, theories as to the demise of Blackburn Rovers are bound to happen.
Finally if Venky’s do take legal action for damaging and expensive advice could Blackburn Borough Council and Blackburn Chamber Of Trade not do likewise against Venky’s for the loss of the status of a Premiership Town Club and the damage to business and industry in the area.

When they stop abusing the supporters, traditions and people of Blackburn by there lack of care, professionalism or common decency, perhaps then we could find some common ground and all the abuse may stop. But do not put the blame squarely on the shoulders of genuine supporters who only want whats best for Rovers and Blackburn. As for racial stereotypes have you forgotten andersons tv interview where he made shrouded hints at racism from the supporters, for that disgraceful strategy he deserves our utmost contempt. When will people realise that all this so called whingeing from fans is a direct result of the behaviour of venkys and kean. Could an increase in numbers using the forum mean anderson and his cronies madly banging out emails under various 'names' trying desperately to make themselves look better. Grow up, only a retard would seriously think our supporters started ,carried on or escalated this situation. Venkys created this with lies and apathy, showing no regard to fans or local culture and traditions, kean supported his beloved leaders by trying to drag fans into his delusory world talking about super signings, telling the fans how well we lost this game and that, and generally DISTANCING HIMSELF from the fanbase. Dear God how much do you expect Blackburners to take before fighting back

Ian Whittam - I think Venkys will hear us loud and clear in a couple of months at Season Ticket renewal time?
.
Thats when Rovers fans can speak with one voice. I would suggets even those who will want to buy one eventually hold off for a few weeks to get the message accross.
.
Whats the betting they suddenly come out with a big PR push of futrue promises around that time?
.
Will anyone but KDG believe them though?

I havent done or heard any of this. Ive heard requests for Venkys to leave us alone which I think is the fans right given the appalling management of the club and blatant lies and reneging on promises but honestly, you must be the most gullible person in Lancashire to believe that is what has led us to this massive stalemate with the owners, whats driven a rift the size of the Grand Canyon between us is a section of fans chanting. When the PM does something that displeases the nation, he/she has to face up to their reaction. Does the PM retreat into the wilderness for months neglecting the job? They are neglecting their responsibility and there are no excuses

I really do not know what 99.9% of Rovers supporters have done to warrant being ignored by the club's owners. I agree that some of the postings on this site are unacceptable but this does not justify a policy of silence. This football club is for many the only thing that is left in Blackburn and for that reason it is not unreasonable to ask the Venkys to contact at least Jack Straw, who after all is the town's Member of Parliament and a Blackburn Rovers supporter and brief him as to what their intentions are and plans for the future of the club. In my opinion this is not asking a lot.

Thats just about how it stands,i certainly can't even see any of them bothering to attend a match again after Wigan,and if they havent even got the common courtesy to reply to members of the British Parliment,they won't have an ounce of respect for the fans who have caused them nothing but trouble till they silenced the protests with their contacts in the media..To adapt a well known line ; Basically my Dears ,They don't give a **** !!!

Talk has got us no where,

BOYCOTT the games, there are less and less fans going each week, this is the only thing that will bring these silent owners to there knees.

This is the only major issue they are worried about and is being spoken about at a high level on a weekly basis, if you dont believe me just watch soon, a bundle of cheap tickets are on there way out again to get fans back.

BOYCOTT the games, short term pain for us fans but long term game to get this lot out.

When will people realize that Venky`s are not the owners but just figureheads used for dirty dealings by certain agents.
Can anybody tell me why Kean has stopped going over to India? My answer is simple, its a ballache. Was easy at first and Kean was keen to do it. Now Venky`s have been told to keep quiet because quite frankly their utter tosh was going to get everyone rumbled.
But rest assured one day when a few get greedy and the bickering starts, tongues will start to slip when under the influence and next day it will be all over the national press.

Please go off and support a team that can provide the kind of support your individual special needs require.In one last vane attempt at clearing your clouded tiny mind; everybody welcomed the venkys at first, we all wanted them to be the ownersTHEY promised they would be. It cannot be good business to throw your toys out of the pram when millions are at stake, but you suggest we have hurt the poor old venkys.... well at least we are not destroying them like they are destroying our club, our town and our community. Whats more you always get offensive idiots ( much like the one I am aiming this at now) who just like to be obnoxious. Any racism cannot be tolerated and any racist attack through this forum should be dealt by banning the poster... Goodness knows how much they are paying you, just remember respect works both ways.

It was you who suggested the reason for Venkey's silence was due to the abuse. So when asked if you thought the people named were guilty of that, you changed your line of debate. As I said before, you really dont think things through
I'm sorry I misunderstood your post. Do you actually think that the Venkys differentiate between different types of Rovers fans??? Priceless!!!

Don't you think that 4 months from the venkeys meeting they may have at least responded to our very serious concerns about the total lack of management leadership from them. Times up get, wake up it's tooooooooooo flipping late. They are a complete ambaressment to our club, and their spokesman just takes the Michael out of us every time he opens his mouth. Just support the team that's put out on the field and hope, wish and pray we get out this shambles.
Agree with you,seems like the CHOSEN FEW forum have realized that the majority of fans have actually moved on in a different direction to them and have had there eyes wide open in whats been going on for twelve months.Rather than be passive towards venkys childish attitude more fans are becoming very active with other fans forums and protest meetings, the fans forum say they want to improve relations with the owners? when did we have any to improve it,You can talk till the cows come home with those running things down at ewood local level but they are not going to change anything its venkys themselves who ultimately take any decisions within the club,it is venkys who should start to communicate with the fans,only them who know the future for the club and them who need to answer the fans most important questions, not the caretakers.Seems to me the forum is going to be used as a tool for any of venkys disinformation and to confuse and maybe split fans opinions on what they are doing with the club. Sorry forum were have you been all this time to little to late and to passive towards venkys.

But do not put the blame squarely on the shoulders of genuine supporters who only want whats best for Rovers and Blackburn. As for racial stereotypes have you forgotten andersons tv interview where he made shrouded hints at racism from the supporters, for that disgraceful strategy he deserves our utmost contempt. When will people realise that all this so called whingeing from fans is a direct result of the behaviour of venkys and kean. Could an increase in numbers using the forum mean anderson and his cronies madly banging out emails under various 'names' trying desperately to make themselves look better. Grow up, only a retard would seriously think our supporters started ,carried on or escalated this situation. Venkys created this with lies and apathy, showing no regard to fans or local culture and traditions, kean supported his beloved leaders by trying to drag fans into his delusory world talking about super signings, telling the fans how well we lost this game and that, and generally DISTANCING HIMSELF from the fanbase. Dear God how much do you expect Blackburners to take before fighting back
But it YOU that want to talk to THEM!! . I don't know why the hints were shrouded, you just have to read some of the posts that have been left on the LET site to realise that, for some, there is a racist angle. . I wonder how many abusive emails have been sent directly to the Venkys HQ in India? Enough for them to probably think - F*** em we will let this club rot!
I seem to recall it was only about 3 weeks ago you had a post deleted because of its inference to race and slavery. You then took umbrage claiming it was a joke
I cannot recall the post but my "umbrage" will probably have been at the witless fan who complained. Was it a post about Samba and how we stopped forcing black men to work against their will some years ago?

Do you include Jack Straw M.P., Graham Jones M.P., Jake Berry M.P., the leader of BwD BC, the M.D. of WEC, John Williams, Tom Finn, Martin Goodman and many more who have been unable to obtain a response. You really don't think things out Midas.
Its their perogative! They can speak to whoever they please. Jack Straw, Jake Berry who are they? Do they have a legal right to force someone to speak to them? Perhaps they have as much respect for jack Straw as some of the posters on here!

You are the ones trying to build bridges, the ones trying to establish contact not the Venkys and perhaps you may have to bite your tounge and not DEMAND but treat with respect, afterall they OWN Blackburn Rovers
Please go off and support a team that can provide the kind of support your individual special needs require.In one last vane attempt at clearing your clouded tiny mind; everybody welcomed the venkys at first, we all wanted them to be the ownersTHEY promised they would be. It cannot be good business to throw your toys out of the pram when millions are at stake, but you suggest we have hurt the poor old venkys.... well at least we are not destroying them like they are destroying our club, our town and our community. Whats more you always get offensive idiots ( much like the one I am aiming this at now) who just like to be obnoxious. Any racism cannot be tolerated and any racist attack through this forum should be dealt by banning the poster... Goodness knows how much they are paying you, just remember respect works both ways.

Oh yes we all remember how you fawned over their arrival "we will be the richest club in the world" how you all gloated and salivated at the thought of these untold riches. Who were the marquee signings going to be? Champions league here we come!!!

Why do the LET keep suspending the comments section for Rovers fans? Wouldn't be down to the abusive and liabelous comments would it?
