Colocho Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/5261/40442213.jpg Nice new club crest for Blackburn... The Anthropologist in me cannot resist. As GM said, that crest had no relation to the Rao Family (who I believe are Hindu, Indians) at all. There is no potential for growth in Blackburn, it makes no sense. I'd agree with you if you were looking at the size of the club as it is, but if you look at the demographics of the area, then it becomes clearer why Blackburn in particular represents an interesting portfolio to an Indian investor. Pakistani's and Indians get on famously of course. 69.22% White British (national average for England 89.99%) with significant Indian (14.31%) and Pakistani (11.45%). More Indians than Pakistanis in Blackburn ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 One of the first acts of Blackburn's new Indian owners has been to announce plans to rip up 120 years of history by renaming Ewood Park. Full story: Daily Express “We need to improve the brand Blackburn Rovers,” she said. “The management thus far has done a good job but has not been proactive enough. We are looking to change that. “Arsenal named their stadium The Emirates after their main sponsors. Ours could be called the Venky’s Stadium or could adopt the name of another sponsor.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I can see Wheater scoring a lot up front for Blackburn, his face is too big to miss. Pederson could just drill the ball of it, if it his Wheater's chin it be like a rocket shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 One of the first acts of Blackburn's new Indian owners has been to announce plans to rip up 120 years of history by renaming Ewood Park. Full story: Daily Express “We need to improve the brand Blackburn Rovers,” she said. “The management thus far has done a good job but has not been proactive enough. We are looking to change that. “Arsenal named their stadium The Emirates after their main sponsors. Ours could be called the Venky’s Stadium or could adopt the name of another sponsor.” Wish I hadn't laughed at this now. Anyway... Jason Roberts has apparently said (606 last night) that he and Salgado won't be playing another game for Blackburn as it will trigger a clause in their contract that will extend their stay at Ewood Park another season. Venkys have said they can't be played as they can't afford to keep them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Anyone else hear Lawrenson's snidey comment to Shearer on MOTD about how 'Blackburn just bought the title'. His attempt at humour sadly i think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
