Irate Blackburn fans to hold 24-hour protest

Disgruntled Blackburn Rovers supporters will hold a 24-hour protest against the ownership of Venky's Group.

The Lancashire outfit sit at the foot of the Premier League table and the fans are fed up with continued negative results and will stage a demonstration against the owners as well as manager Steve Kean prior to Saturday's visit of Fulham.

"Despite organisers arranging no protest for the last seven matches the club has failed to deliver on the promises and pledges they made," read a statement from the fans group.

"This protest will be aimed at Venky's, the legal owners of Blackburn Rovers football club.

"The aim of the protests, as from the start, will be about the removal of Steve Kean as first-team manager, Venky's as owners of the club and now the removal of the board of directors.

"The intensity of the protest will increase substantially.

"As Blackburn Rovers fans we have no choice but to try to ensure we preserve the legacy left by the late Jack Walker.

"While we appreciate that this era is in the past, the failure by Venky's and the current board of directors to build on his legacy leaves fans with very little if anything to cling on to."
