What the petition asks
Before the takeover from Venky's (India) Limited, a subsidiary of V H Group, through Venky's London Ltd in 2010, Blackburn Rovers were an established Premier League club. Since this time, attendances have dropped significantly and the club struggle to survive in the Championship.
The club has also built up an almost overwhelming amount of debt. Throughout this period, the FA have paid no interest to the questionable running of the club, and the fans have had enough. Venky's are destroying the club, and are destroying Jack Walker's dream. Enough is enough, we will not have the heart ripped out of the town. Venky's Out.
