Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: lambourn red on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 06:39:34 With only 12 hours to the kick off of our season at home do you think there might be a Statement at the eleventh hour ? If nothing is forthcoming by 6 pm tonight I can see this being an uncomfortable evening for Wills and Co, back of the Arkells anyone ?
Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 07:13:05 Doubt it , this sort of thing would be heralded by a press conference, and nothings been announced, would imagine that would need at least a days notice

Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: Batch on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 08:14:44 It'll happen or it won't happen in whatever timescale it takes. I'd imagine they could release a statement saying it is complete and call a press conference for a later date.
The most critical thing is it is seemingly preventing any more singings... Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: red macca on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 08:14:57 we done that last year fatters and the numbers were not very impressive i would be amazed if we got any where near the same amount this time to be honest

Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 08:26:02 it's taking way too long and the transparency (or lack of) is pathetic, but i can't see how a protest on any scale will help.
Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: lambourn red on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 08:40:16 I guess things may change if we get a "the investors have pulled out" statement blaming BP for issuing a writ. Then a few people need to shake their heads to remove the sand that they have been buried in and start to do something about this situation.
Hopefully I am wrong and the investors do exist and take full control of the club pay off the debts and give PS some transfer funds. It is about time we had something to look forward to as a set of fans that is a bit longer term rather than lurching from crisis to crisis and the only way that is going to happen is to remove MD and his henchman from having any involvement. Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: sonic youth on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 09:54:30 the protests last season were a waste of time, i can't imagine them suddenly becoming worthwhile.
Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: STFC Bart on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 09:58:58 If the fans really wanted rid of the board- they could get rid.
1) Boycott all programmes, mechandise 2) Boycott a home game- painful as it would be drastic measures are required Fan power as has been proved in the past WILL get them out but it now requires more than a few orange hats/ 2 dozen behind the arkells Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 10:01:26 Thanks Bart, we really needed to hear that for the 1,109,731,734th time.

Posting the same things on the internet again and again doesn't count... Its a case of wait and see what happens, theres nothing else anyone can do at the moment.

Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: figgis on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 10:16:42 hes right though. the board have shown utter contempt for fans opinions. money talks at the end of the day.
Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: The_Plagiarist on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 10:19:51 Protests are always worthwhile, if you believe what you're protesting for is the right thing.
As for further protests, when these bullshit investors "miraculously pull out at the last minute because of Bill Power/The Trust/20 or 30 busybodies*" delete as applicable* then I would hope everyone will finally pull their heads out of their asses and get together to remove these fuckers for good. I fear apathy will win the day as always though.

That'll be two programmes running so far. maybe they'll leave each week on a cliff hanger, like the old B&W Flash Gordon series, and we'll have to read the next exciting instalment. Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: figgis on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 10:59:12 shows the utter contempt they have for the ones who know what they are like compared to the ones who they call fans as the ones who they can pull the wool over their eyes.

Title: 12 Hours to make a Statement Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 11:41:16 There's not enough people who give a shit to have big protests. Until there's some giant disaster event which has a sudden impact on the footballing side there won't be. Obviously it's being steadily affected. Sturrock's already moaning, but you need that sort of big bang to start it off. Like a points deduction from the Football League.

Sturrock's already moaning, but you need that sort of big bang to start it off. Like a points deduction from the Football League. The protests in 90 were good, but rather missed the point....the march around town was ace, and apparently the biggest ever seen in Swindon's history. There was also a fair turnout of folk to watch the march...trouble was that none of the tossers making the decision saw it. Loads of money was raised for a fighting fund for legal action, but it seemed to disappear somewhere....fuck knows where. Think I'll do a GCHQ commemorative march in Cheltnumb...next week but just go in pubs on the route. I always seemed to get someone like the Gay Trade Unionists Collective fronted by Peter Tatchell, marching behind me which can be slightly unnerving.

That said, if a properly organised (Trust or otherwise) protest were to happen I'd probably join in.

Quote Robins in £10m deal Swindon are set for a £10million takeover by mystery Portuguese investors this week. The Robins have kept a lid on the identity of the group looking to take control at the County Ground but it is understood the consortium includes agents who would want to bring Portuguese players to the League One outfit. 10 million - must be having a laugh? |
