A SECTION of Blackburn Rovers fans have organised a protest march against boss Steve Kean ahead of Saturday’s home game against Arsenal.

The protesters are calling for a change of manager after growing concerned over the club’s start to the season, which has left Rovers bottom of the Premier League with one point from their first four games.

A press release was sent out by fans yesterday confirming the march will start at 11.30am at the Havelock Inn in Havelock Street and finish at Ewood Park ahead of the 12.45pm kick-off.

“We are meeting up at 11.10am and the reason the march is so early is we want it to be finished well before kick-off,” said Glen Mullan, 33, a season ticket holder who has been involved with the organisation of the march.

“We don’t want it to interfere with people coming to the game who don’t want to be involved and we want it finished by 12.10pm or 12.15pm so everyone can support the team.

“It will be a peaceful and professional protest.

“At a conservative estimate I’d say there will be 1,000-plus on the march.

“There have been a few people who have said they don’t think it’s the right thing to do but I’ve had hundreds of emails of support.

“I think this march will make a difference.”
