Independent Blackburn Rovers Fan Issue Board

Local media have been banned from covering the club, including the Lancashire Telegraph. Fans rely on independent local coverage - I'd raise getting the ban lifted and normal access restored

What is the ownership's long-term plan for the club? The playing budget is reported to be in the division's bottom six - below clubs with far smaller attendances - while player sales generate substantial fees every year. Fans want the club's leadership to set out its ambition and where that money is going. Submission edited manually to meet site guidelines, meaning unchanged.

Rename the Riverside Stand at Ewood Park as the Tony Parkes Stand, recognising one of the most important and respected figures in Blackburn Rovers’ history. Parkes dedicated decades of service to the club in a number of roles and represents the loyalty, continuity and identity that supporters associate with Rovers. This would be a fitting, supporter-focused tribute to a true club legend.

A really big issue is understanding the direction of travel for the club. How does it intend to stay financially viable through the coming months and years. We honest grown up, consistent dialogue about this.

The present match day pricing is keeping lapsed fans away from Ewood and deterring new fans Whilst understanding the approach to boost ST sales would it not be possible to introduce a ‘membership scheme’ or similar where walk up fans get discount for Cat A games if they attend at least 2/3 other fixtures etc? Also discount for children etc? We need to boost attendance and attract new supporters and currently we’re not.

Basically half time is a gamble, if you go down on the half time whistle, you aren't served by the time the games kicked back off. This isn't new, its been a problem for as long as I can remember.

Fans often note/question that they have no idea when away tickets will be released for away games. Can the club, proactively seek this information, and release that information - even if its - We have contacted (AWAY CLUB) for a date on 12.09.2026, for our game on 19.10.2026, they do not know the date yet. We will ask again on 21.09.2026.

Time for a replacement. Technology has moved on and it is looking dated. When sitting in the Blackburn End it is near impossible to read or see anything in detail which is on there. Especially now they are encouraging you to scan QR codes which are on it.

Why should wheelchair supporters be limited to seating at the front row? Many stadiums nowadays have platforms etc accommodating supporters to watch the game at a level similar to supporters without a wheelchair.

I like the tannoy presenter and have no problem with content but it is too loud in the jw upper central. Can talk to anyone whilst its blaring

Our sports bar no longer shows live football. Used to be a great meeting point before and after game.

Why does the club continue with radio silence and not communicating with fans? Nothing has been done to explain the clubs objectives and ambitions for the season ahead. We nearly got relegated last season and there’s been nothing to address this. How can fans feel part of the club and want to buy their season tickets when the club doesn’t want to work and appreciate the fan base

the season pass to stream live games for international fans is not working, and staff are not replying to emails

We have already taken part in a survey regarding the kits for next season. Ahead of then, are we able to be presented with a choice of the shirts that we can all vote on?

I think as a season ticket holder we should be able to access viewings to the youth teams games. I understand away fixtures can prove to be difficult for this, but our home fixtures at the academy should be streamed in my opinion.

Happened a few times last season where Riverside bars (particularly one near Darwen End) runs out of (usually lager), which after queuing and missing a fair chunk of the game is more than irritating. Happened against Middlesbrough on the first game of season which doesn’t fill me with confidence.

I actually feel a bit bad saying this but the drumming is getting to much for us. Rhythm sometimes off too and there are not many breaks from it. The constant bang bang bang is actually is making me s bit angry. The drum, if there is a need for one, should be down at the front, not in our ear holes. It's starting to ruin our games.

Loads of people in the Blackburn End prominently vaping during the game. Shouldn’t be happening
