Title: Hello all Post by: SJBradleyNY on Sunday, November 27, 2011, 23:10:04 Hi Guys.
My name is Steven and I live in NYC. I'm actually English and have only been over here since August. The truth is, I have supported Blackburn Rovers for my entire life (20+ years) but can no longer accept the corruption that is going on at the club and to be honest the way the Premier League operates is killing my interest in what used to be a very special game for me. I have always held a soft spot for Swindon and actually grew up with Jonathan Smith - We are still friends to this day. Your club represents to me what football should be. You have no idea what we have had to put up with, with Venkys in control. I'm not interested in starting FC Rovers or any of that bullshit. I want to watch a team with ambition and a team with a history and that is you guys. So as a more regular follower, I wanted to introduce myself and wondered what are the main things I should know about the club? I appreciate that this is an odd thing to do but the prospect of following you guys is far less frustrating than the prospect of continuing to support what is now the zombified corpse of Blackburn....Venkys FC. Thank you all, Steven. Title: Re: Hello all Post by: chalkies_shorts on Sunday, November 27, 2011, 23:13:33 Stick with the team you support through thick and thin.

Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Boeta on Sunday, November 27, 2011, 23:17:09 nothing wrong with the venkys when you compare them to a chap called michael diamandis

Title: Re: Hello all Post by: deltaincline on Monday, November 28, 2011, 00:05:00 Fuck off Steven, you fucking plastic, doughnut-munching cunt.
How the fuck can you turn your back on the club you've allegedly supported all your life, then try and adopt another one that your mate just happens to play for when your own club are in the shit? What a cunt.

Title: Re: Hello all Post by: yeo on Monday, November 28, 2011, 01:28:26 Ahh that famous warm Wiltshire welcome.
Welcome along to the forum. I dont have a problem with you switching you allegence to us,footy fans are way to precious about that sort of thing including our friends above it would seem.We've had our fair share of board troubles,infact there were times when some Indian Chicken tycoons would have seemed an attractive proposition.But all is well at Swindon now,even last seasons relegation set back has been forgotton about.Some people dont like PDC but we aren't allowed to mention that.. I dont go to football anymore,I think I prefered the bad times.I never felt more a part of the club than when I was protesting against our past crooked regime.These days I dont care much for it,Swindon seems sterile and souless.Fans are thought of as customers/units and games/players as product. So with that in mind I propose a swap deal.You support Swindon and i'll become a millitant Blackburn fan,that way we may both gain that something we both seem to be missing from our lives. Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Boy About Town on Monday, November 28, 2011, 01:54:23 You plastic cunt. You follow a team through thick and thin. Your as bad as an MK Mong fan. Always follow your team. Now fuck off.

Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Nomoreheroes on Monday, November 28, 2011, 07:16:49 I see the young internet warrioring children have come out to play!
I suspect our newest recruit will always have an affinity with BRFC, but I have no problem with him taking an interest with a club his mate plays for. Its hardly like we have such a massive fanbase that we can afford to be choosy about who follows us! Welcome and board and enjoy the frustrations of following a team like BRFC was pre-benefactor. Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Notts red on Monday, November 28, 2011, 12:08:04 I've heard lots of people say on here that they have 2nd teams ! bought a Blackburn shirt a few years ago when they won the league ahead of Man U just to piss my brothers off who both supported United.
Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Benzel on Monday, November 28, 2011, 12:15:29 Yeah we don't need new fans! We've got 7.5k already!

Fabulous post couldn't agree more, except for the bit about Swindon Town FC becoming soulless....

You miserable gits. :) Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Ralphy on Monday, November 28, 2011, 13:56:37 The guy talks alot of sense.
Must be crap supporting a Premiership club run by tycoons who have no interest in football or the history and heritage of the club. They're only in it for the money. Makes me grateful we have a real football fan as our chairman. Even if he is Hammer. Used to like watching Blackburn when Shearer, Sutton, Batty and Sherwood for playing for them. Title: Re: Hello all Post by: iffy on Monday, November 28, 2011, 14:41:14 Can you see the problem with this argument?
1: "I hate the way football is being ruined by money. They treat us like we're customers, not fans" 2: "I'm annoyed with Blackburn, so I'm shopping around for a new team" If you don't want to be treated like a customer, don't act like one. Title: Re: Hello all Post by: jonny72 on Monday, November 28, 2011, 14:47:01 They're only in it for the money. I can only think of three clubs owners that are in it for the money - Leeds, Liverpool and Man Utd. For everyone else it's just a tax write off isn't it? Maybe I've missed something but the only dumb arse move the Blackburn owners have made that I'm aware of was sacking Allardyce. Sure the football might not be pretty but you're guaranteed a top half PL finish with him on a small budget. Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Benzel on Monday, November 28, 2011, 14:51:21 They've got some good players - along with sacking Big Sam their other big mistake is giving Steven Kean a new contract!
Title: Re: Hello all Post by: jonny72 on Monday, November 28, 2011, 14:58:48 Still makes me laugh that one of the reasons for them sacking Allardyce was them wanting a top four finish and that he wasn't the man for that. Sure, he probably wouldn't have ever got a top four finish (I doubt anyone would with Blackburn) but he wouldn't have got them relegated either which is the most likely outcome for them this season.
Title: Re: Hello all Post by: chalkies_shorts on Monday, November 28, 2011, 16:58:14 Steve Keen is the most delusional manager I've come across in a long time.
Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Bosey on Monday, November 28, 2011, 17:17:15 Fuck off Steven, you fucking plastic, doughnut-munching cunt. How the fuck can you turn your back on the club you've allegedly supported all your life, then try and adopt another one that your mate just happens to play for when your own club are in the shit? What a cunt. Saw a young lad no older than ten at the Shots game, He was telling his dad "you were right dad, now I have been to see Swindon I do support them instead of Man Utd... Shud we tell that "Cunt" to fuck off to Old Trafford? Title: Re: Hello all Post by: DMR on Monday, November 28, 2011, 19:15:47 That the lot of you have bought this as legit without question sickens me.
What a bunch of fucktards! Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Hammer on Monday, November 28, 2011, 19:43:33 Makes me grateful we have a real football fan as our chairman. Even if he is Hammer. Shucks. Thanks Ralphy. I don't mind if you just call me Jezza. xxx :-[ Title: Re: Hello all Post by: leefer on Monday, November 28, 2011, 19:51:29 Can you remember those club badge sticker albums as a youngster,i had a deep affection for the shiny Red and Black colours of Charlton Atheletic....the WBA throstle and the Blackburn badge were sought after also.
