Venky's want inputs from Rovers fans, to bring them to India?

About 10 Months ago the Pune-based Venky's (Venkateshwara Hatcheries Group) owned by the Rao family bought the English Premier League club Blackburn Rovers. Things on and off the field have not been really smooth for the new owners since then, but they are trying to make things better while also getting to know and understand the business of football better.

On Saturday Blackburn Rovers did beat FC Arsenal 4-3 in a sensational game to score their first win of this English Premier League campaign, but Scottish manager Steve Kean is not really a fans favourite with the Rao family's popularity going down along with that of the manager.

The Venky's realise or have been made to realise that they need the Rovers fans to run a successful football club. Now there is a unique idea on the table to invite a hand-picked set of fans to India at the Rao family's expense to try and understand what long-standing fans thing of their running of the club and decisions they have taken since the takeover.

The interaction trip could happen in October during the next international break. If it will change the fortunes of Blackburn Rovers will have to be seen, but such interaction would surely help the Rao's understand the local sentiments better.
