Title: Rovers Petition Link
Post by: stfctownenda on Thursday, April 26, 2007, 15:08:30
Those that are against it then sign and those that are for it, please ignore the link and in no way mock me  :soapy tit wank:

We don't know how far along discussions are but if we get enough people to sign this then it will show the strength of the opposition against this move.

I agree Sippo, if anyone actually sends that petition in, it wuold be laughed at.

On line petitions are gash.  I will not be signing, one because it's a crap petition and two I really don't feel that strongly about the whole issue.

Someone needs to start a proper petition on this....we dont want em here, not after today.
Apart from anything, if the trust were to set up a "say no to wovers" campaign, stock may well rise sonsiderably within the local community if the bottom line was "Trust says we dont want wovers here"
Just a thought....

The problem is the board have their rose tinted glasses on. They just see it as a money making opportunity. What goes on outside, with regards to violence, they won't be bothered about as they see it as the police's jobs to sort that.

I made the point that it won't make too much money when you look at the additional costs policing will have.

People say that Rovers will pay for the police, but after yesterday I can see we're going to have to step up policing for our games in case. That's not going to come cheap.

Saturday was another example of why we need to put a stop to this.  I created the petition to try to make a stand against this after people at my work (non footballing fans) said how much they were against a move and was there something to sign against it.

When I did the same petition for Downing Street it was turned down.  I find the critical comments from Plagerist, Sippo and Jan poor standard unless they are currently  typing an alternative.  FWIW 100+ have signed it and until there is something better up I will continue to promote it.

No offence intended, my comments were aimed at the kind of comments put on there, no the actual petition itself.  For example

"Rovers are scum"

"Micheal Pook I love fatbury"

"who the fu*k are rovers !! we dont want rovers here"

Not really gonna be taken too seriously, imo.

I will say though I don't really like Online petitions there seems to be an on line petition for everything nowadays.

If it helps then fair play to you.

FWIW I've signed it, but it would have far more impact if people didn't dick around on it.

Cheers Jan understand your point of view and agree on most you say there, just took some of the posts as being critical on me which is justified to an extent because of poor spelling  :oops: but as I said wanted to be active in stopping any potential groundshare.

So will the people moaning about the petition carrying on moaning if the ground share goes ahead and they get caught up in any sort of trouble when Rovers play here? i think they will.

He started a petition as that is the way he see's the board MAYBE hearing what the fans are saying (for a change), fair play to Dave for doing so.

I'm on the case! I have already emailed several board members, the western daily press and the adver and i'm pressing ahead with other things as well.

As demonstrated on saturday that sort of thing will be happening on a weekly/fortnightly basis if rovers groundshare with us, this cannot go ahead!!

The potential groundshare just shows that all the board see is pound signs and they do not care about the fans of swindon or the people of swindon.

If they did then they would not even consider sharing the ground with rovers after what they did at the home game this season and after smashing up that pub and causing trouble on saturday etc etc i could go on and on........

I am not moaning about the petition I just don;t agree with the "fuck off rovers" comments on there, you wouldn't get those kinda off comments on written petitions, which is why I think they are better than on line ones.

That's all.

And ST-enda didn't pass comment on your spelling as I'd say that is completely irrelevant personally.

Yes it did thank god was bit of a depressing journey home but we tried to get couple of songs going on train back to Swindon including the slow version of 'Oh when the reds....' was quite good fun especially with the egg chasers singing bent songs.

Good to meet you though Glos and share a nice rant against the board and the teams performance.  Will be in CGH before Walsall game on Sat with Spuddy, Give_us_an_S and Swindon Tartan Army come in for a pint if your around  :beers:

Maybe a petition would work better if we piggy-backed another major cause. How about...

China should withdraw from their illegal occupation of Tibet and no to Rovers at the county ground.
