Blackburn fans in new protests this weekend

Blackburn Rovers supporters will demonstrate against the Ewood Park hierarchy ahead of Saturday's Premier League home match against Aston Villa. A section of Rovers supporters called BRFC Action Group have released a statement outlining plans for three marches that will set off simultaneously around an hour before the 3pm kick-off and then join together at Ewood Park - described as "the largest and most attended demonstration in the history of our club."

Rovers fans have launched a new share investment scheme in a bid to buy the club from the current owners Venky's and today's statement said the marches this weekend would "symbolise a vote of 'no confidence' in Venky's...and will carry the message 'Venky's sell the club'."
