Protests

[sonic youth]

"History can never be made by one man; we must smash this one quickly.

History is made only by the masses of the people this is clear.

Even a cursory glance at the fallacious presentation of history by the American capitalist system will demonstrate just this.

Take George Washington as bad as he is; put him in the middle of Valley Forge by himself surrounded by the British he can do nothing.

Take Martin Luther King as righteous as he is; put him in the middle of Birmingham by himself, speaking out against racism he would be lynched.

But you take this same King, you take this same Washington. Put them in Valley Forge, put them in Alabama.

Surround them with thousands of people who have the same ideas they do willing to make those ideas reality and the situation changes drastically."

What Fred Elliot called the Peacefull approach is over. I expect that the Battle for STFC is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of our football club. Upon it depends our own Sanity, and the long continuity of our traditions.

The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Diamandis knows that he will have to break us supporters or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, the debts may be paid  and bill power may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the County of wiltshire, including salisbury, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of the money grabbing bastards more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if swindon town were to last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."

Ah                     a classic Winston speech

[Fred Elliot]

Richard III's was slightly better in my opinion

[glos_robin]

Just a thought, is there any relatively unused STFC messageboard or forum anywhere that protest efforts could be coordinated on. I'm wary of using this board for example as it could cause Sonic and Whits some grief which may be a bit unfair.

[Simon Pieman]

If it's not libelous, then it shouldn't be a problem. Unless violence or criminal damage was talked of, but we're not talking about that

[Samdy Gray]

"I am Fred Elliott and I see a whole army of my fellow STFC fans, here in defiance of tyranny! You have come to fight as free men. And free men you are! What will you do without STFC? Will you fight?"

"Two thousand against ten?" DV85 shouted.

"No! We will run - and live!" cried Maverick

"Yes!" Fred Elliott shouted back. "Fight and you may die. Run and you will live at least awhile. And dying in your bed many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance, to come back here as young men and tell our enemies that they may take our lives but they will never take our STFC!"

 

[Fred Elliot]

Richard III all over again

nice one Sam

I can set up a forum on my website if needs be.

[sonic youth]

No reason why Whits would get any hassle if everything is kept reasonable, i.e. no death threats you cunts or I'll kill you.

[Fred Elliot]

Not here, not now

I'll call you mate

[glos_robin]

Fair enough was just a thought though as we all know Diamandis and co will resort to a dirty tricks campaign and target individuals

[Fred Elliot]

Give me an hour and Ill bring this forward a step lads

let me make a couple of calls

[Samdy Gray]

Surely Whits could add a new sub-forum and only grant access to known people?

[Frigby Daser]

sit in after a game?

I'll sit on (and then in) Diamandis' car. For no reason other than it'll piss him off to a tiny fraction of the amount that he's pissed me off.

I'm well aware this'll serve no purpose other than light entertainment.
