Title: ORANGE REVOLOUTION - SATURDAY
Post by: Fred Elliot on Tuesday, December 12, 2006, 18:48:09
I make no excuses for starting a new thread on this.

Whilst all credit for this needs to go to Janagge, the Trust fully backs this fans initiative.

Saturday is going to be one of, if not THE, biggest home gates of the season and Janagge's idea to launch at this game is absoloutly correct.

Various items of orange headwear etc will be available to be handed out to the fans on their way into the ground.

There will also be 5000 orange leaflets to distribute, giving the rationale behind the fans movement. These obviously can also be held up at kick off as a mark of protest.

Obviously logistically this needs to be co-ordinated to such a level that we get the maximum exposure possible and as many leaflets and hats out to the fans.

It is with this in mind that I ask that anyone who can spare a little time on Saturday to help distribute these items and to "pitch in" and help.
Rob will be meeting with fellow volunteers at the Trust offices at 13.00 pm where leaflets and headwear will be distributed to hand out.

This is a real opportunity to make a difference.

BUT we can only do it with help from you.............THE FANS !!!

Please I urge you to give a little time to make our voice heard.

Thanks

I've got an orange towel.....which I thought about wearing as a sort of hijab...it would also have the advantage of rendering me anonymous, when lobbing satsumas at the board.

  If the stewards try and refuse me entry, then I'll have them on the grounds of religious discrimination

Erm, off the top of my head, email/text/send pigeons to all your mates and tell them to wear orange on Saturday oh and join the Trust obviously. And a postcard to the PO Box would be nice - no-one ever sends us postcards.

Do you really think the board will care.

Dont get me wrong ill be wearing orange and im willing to help before the game because i hate seeing this club getting dragged down with the Newbury propety developers an want them out as much as the next bloke but i have just got a feeling more direct action is required (protesting after the game etc.).  I find it hard to believe that everyone wearing orange will affect the board, personally i feel they will just be laughing at us.

This will show our solidarity, because it can bring fans together not divide them. It's what the orange represents - the dismay over the running of the club, the lies, the pathetic petty statements, the stupid games re the takeover bid.

I think it's fair to say the majority are pissed off about something in one form or another, yet this could all be expressed by the orange thing.

If the media and newsgroups get involved (and they will) potentially the coverage and pressure on the board can be far greater than 2 lines in the Adver detailing "a small group of 80 or so fans voiced there protests after the game. The club was unavailable to comment"
