Protests?

[Mexicano Rojo]

i will be cheering the team on and after the game i will be protesting outside the arkells.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

i won't be protesting. whats the point? they aint going to listen anyway. what is it going to achieve. what does it aim to achieve? more bad feeling between the board and fans just when we have got over that

Are you going to blow up your fan of the year trophy in front of the Exec entrance?

Maybe you could sell it and donate the money to the trust towards buying Petr Brezovan?

Rich if you are prepared to let this go then you deserve everything they give to you

Do you not realise

1) No one can work with Diamandis/Dunwoody. Power was not a greedy property developer he was a genuine football man- yet he could not work with Mikey D- thats why he left

2) As above- ditto Wise

With this man and Dunwoody in charge we have NO hope.

1) No new investors will come in- would you want to plough in your own money to work with this lot- run by an incompetent ex banned director making the decisions

2) The council wont work with them so no redevlopment

3) No decent manager will work with them- any one with an ounce of football knowledge/professionalism will run a mile- hence the cheap option

So you tell me how we can allow them to maintain the stranglehold they have on the club

[Simon Pieman]

He was saying that a protest wouldn't stop the stranglehold they have on the club.

Still it made a good read, even if irrelevant to richy boy's post

[Spencer_White]

Yeah it will. A proper protest would.

As Reg says re Kings dismissal, people moaned and moaned about King on the internet for years. But it wasnt until 50 or so fans were angry enough to protest that they sacked him, and straight away too. That was 50 fans, a proper protest would instigate them leaving.

yes Bart i agree but the point i was making was that what the hell is the protest going to do? sod all. nothing will change, in fact things will get worse! so why bother?

yes but that was a different situation. this involves the Board themselves. they won't step down. if anything the Wills family will pull out and we'll be totally fucked

[Spencer_White]

This sort of attitude is why I do like to see the way Italian fans operate.

They dont take this sort of shit. They are rediculous. But they wouldnt tolerate this sort of mismanagement and leadership that favours the pockets of individuals rather than the good of the club.

[Simon Pieman]

So what do you think will happen if you protest?

The board will leave? In an ideal world that would be excellent but who's going to come in?

I don't like it, but STFC is a private company. Of course the shareholders will look to fvour themselves, although as of yet, there is no evidence to suggest dodgy payments or the contrary.


And Italian football is full of backhanders and fraud and full of individuals that favour themselves.

[yeo]

Whats the alternative sit and hope?

I dont think so. I dont think that any real pressure has been applied so far (only internet discontent), and they are already panicking like fuck (statement last tuesday). They are unprofessional and you would have to believe their threats that they are wreckless, childish and stupid enough to cripple the club.

So it is risky though, as you say. Thats what restrain many fans. Sounds like blackmail to me. I just want rid, cant see any progress with them, only recession, non league and STFC eventually dieing on its arse. So whats better? Fuck em.

ive been doing that for years im still sitting and hoping they notice me sitting and hoping
