snowball Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Absolutely. They have a local pride that just seems to be absent in Bolton. Very rarely do you see United and Liverpool shirts up round there. Utter Bollocks. And St Pauli are scum as well Quote
Clean Shirt Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Utter Bollocks. And St Pauli are scum as well Spent a lot of time up there don't think I met one United fan. Few Burnley, few Bolton, rest Blackburn. Maybe I just got lucky! Also found that a lot of people who weren't really arsed about football, would describe themselves as Rovers fans and at least have a small interest in how the team was doing.

You must have. Just as many 'glory fans' in Blackburn/Darwen as in Bolton. And a lot of people in Bolton feel exactly the same about the Wanderers. Edited September 13, 2013 by bwfcdan Quote

Maybe I don't associate with weak minded people Yeah that second point is true, there are plenty, but it's quite noticeable up there I think. Quote

royal white Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 If I was looking at investing money in a club there are a lot more attractive options than us Quote

Mounts Kipper Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 If I was looking at investing money in a club there are a lot more attractive options than us It depends how you look at it now if Eddie wiped the debt and with the infrastructure we have in place it becomes more saleable however the cost of players salaries and the egos of players would make me think twice of getting involved with any football club as its a sure fire way to burn money.

Zico Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 I heard that we had a buyer lined up if we went up lastseason Apparently we had one from the far east lined up had we stayed up Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 If we build it they will come... Didn't we have about 19k on for Marseille in, potentially, the last game we'd ever see competitive European football at The Reebok? We're lucky to have a local 'lad' backing us...I suspect the only other investor we'd attract would suck us dry then toss us to one side - which sounds quite good, but only transposed to another situation. Let's run down the bloated contracts of this toxic group of big-time attitude/small-time level of commitment players and get some more new blood onboard, players with something to prove, 'hungry' if you like?
