I don't think it will be too hard to organise, if/when Sturrock leaves we wont have to worry about it just being 50 of us.  I think its safe to say we should have at least a few hundred, everyone I know thinks Sturrock is brilliant and could take us places.  If he was to go it will be a very active protest IMO.

You are being a bit previous here. Nobody has left the club yet. As above, if it were to happen you wouldn't need to organise anything really, 'fan power' would   surely make it happen spontaniously.

Just wondering what you would be protesting about ??

Not sure you will get many takers for "come and protest coz they haven't told us enough about the takeover".......

I am as frustrated as the next man - but I am not sure what can be achieved at the moment.  The team are doing OK on the pitch - the takeover is happening, the CVA will be paid when the deal is 100% sorted and PS will have funds for new signings...

This is what the average fan on the street sees and understands - under those circumstances I cant see many going for protests....

I said before the season stated he will be gone by October and I have heard nothing at all that makes me change my mind on this

sturrock leaving will be a major problem for us imo.its obvious he wont want to leave but things going on behind closed doors may force him out.
look at the progress we are making under him.it would be crazy to unsettle the way things are going.with a bit in the transfer kitty that the sale of brez will provide i'm sure sturrock could get in a couple of decent players to make our squad even stronger.and the jobs sturrocks coaches and backroom staff are doing shouldn't be forgot either

Hasn't Sturrock dug his own grave in a sense though, in the summer he was coming out with the statements about how he met the new "potential" owners and was happy with their plans for the future of the FC, and was in all meetings between them and the Board.

Now he has said he has to speak to the new owners to find out their plans for the future, and we hear rumours of him being unhappy with players being forced on him, will be down to Brevett to agree his players etc

However much I rate Sturrock I do feel he has brought things on himself, if he kept quiet in the summer with all the takeover talk then perhaps things may have been slightly different.

It does make you wonder though who he actually met in the summer though ??!!

Wasn't it only a week or so ago you were slating people who were expressing unease about the "new owners"? Now you want full-scale protests "sorted".

I don't see any reason why doing a 360 on his opinion of the board/new board/new investors would mean digging his own grave. People are aloud to reform there opinions as people start to treat them different.

If he had kept quiet about new investors etc in the summer, just as many people would have jumped on him asking what his opinion was etc. Why's Sturrock not said anything? Think he was probably in a bit of a no win situation there.

maybe sturrock was spun a story by the board  that didn't come to fruition?
they do have a proven track record of  talking bollocks

[Pedantic Note] I think it's a 180...  A 360 is full circle which means nothing has changed[/Pedantic Note]

I was working in Radians. He span about on the spot 57 times before splaying out on the floor a bit dizzy pointing about a 3rd of the way around.

I can't for a minute believe that the board have lied to Sturrock, they would never lie to anyone, residents, fans, council, press or manager. After all it's well known how much respect they have for all of us.

But Sturrock stated he had met with new owners and had discussions with them before they was announced.

For once I don't think it was the board....
