Do you know, sometimes it is reliant on the little man to implement big changes.

It is all too easy for the big man to force through small changes, simply beacuse he is a big man.

Now, who decides who is the big man and who is the little man ?........ certain areas of society do, they make decisions based on the car you drive, the suit you wear, the  cash you splash.

Society in general does not look at the "man" but looks at the facade that he creates.

I have for so long been a massive advocate of one, person one voice, and if the collective of those voices sing the same song, then people need to understand the consensus of opinion.

My friends, as we sit here today, ignorance reigns supreme.

See no evil.   Hear no evil.   Speak no evil

The time has come people to ;

open peoples eyes so that they may see !

talk to people so that they may hear !

encourage people that they may speak !

It is time that we started to break free from the apathy and acceptance that has gone surrounding our beloved club for so long.

There is only one group now that can positively influence and pave a way through for a new beginning for this magnificent club.

And that is us !

The journey began on September 27th last year, it is time to refuel the tanks to get us to the destination.

Together, all of us can make the change

Please make it happen !

Andy

Nope

came home early mate

I was just thinking that people think of us as little men and little voices, but when hundreds of little men and little voices get together then we turn into a massive voice that cannot be ignored

Andy - you have become an activist.

Fair play mate.

I'll tell you, it only happens to somebody when they are personally threatened by the actions of others that will hurt something close to their heart.

In my case it was Shaw Forest and the stadium plans that fired me up.

I will tell you a short story...

On Wednesday I rushed back from work to give an interview and have my picture taken by the Adver over the University of Bath pulling out of the Coate  deal. The photographer, Stuart Harrison (nice bloke, known him for a long time) took me to one side and said:

"You know Alan, I have been watching you and your campaigns for a fair while now and have been interested and bemused about why you do it."

"I tell you what, now I know, because my fucking leisure centre is under threat because some fucking pricks think that it should be shut down. Hence my boys won't be able to go swimming or play football any more."

He was seriously angry about the Cricklade Leisure Centre issue and is almost at the point of suggesting violent action.

If the threat is there then your eyes are wide open and you have to do something about it.

I saw a passion in STFC supporters during the Shaw thing that made me want to get involved and to come along and watch the football and to do something about the shit that the club were in.

You are not alone Andy.

Well said Talk Talk and Andy. Different stories and backgrounds maybe, but the same sentiments apply.

Cunts have been running the club for too long now. Wills and Diamandis need to sod off and hand the club over to people who know what they are doing and will take the club forward with the goodwill of the fans.

Excuse the pun, but fan power is on the up!
