Title: Well done everybody Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, October 9, 2007, 23:09:10 Well played everybody. I'm sorry I was playing media whore, it was only the last one I went looking for.
It was a turnout a thousand times better than I was expecting. I was terrified that it would be the same 40 fans again, but there was a good crowd. Well done to anybody who chatted to people at the game, and told them what was going on. Of course it sort of shows how immaterial the whole protesting thing is, because in the end it might mean nothing, but at least we got our voices heard. Title: Well done everybody Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, October 9, 2007, 23:10:24 Well said Ben. We all left the protest to the tune of "Ben is a media whore" tonight which was quality as well :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Title: Well done everybody Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, October 9, 2007, 23:19:24 being an attention seeking media whore I was loving it.
But seriously it really was much better than I and I guess most of us were expecting. So fair play to everybody. It was only when I got there that I realised how much the club does actually means to me. It clicked that I wouldn't know any of you peeps if it wasn't for the club, and you're all ace. I did make it half way up the stairs in the reception before I got asked to come back. Olive gave me an ace distraction by shouting abuse at me and the stewards just let me pass. It was a quality covert operation that nearly worked. It was the sort of random thing which made me realise that there's something in common that we all share. And it's worth doing our best to save.

BBC Swindon did some good coverage to be fair. Title: Well done everybody Post by: herthab on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 07:40:09 Were you stood next to Larwood during the protest Lady?
I think it'll have a pretty big piece on tonights programme. (I didn't join in the sit in, as I wouldn't have been able to get up again!)

I hope they have a good piece on it. As for sitting down, I struggled after cracking my kneecap on the seat in the stand. I can barely bend my leg this morning.

Title: Well done everybody Post by: Panda Paws on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 07:53:53 I almost got clobbered by a copper when someone tried to get in the front door! :shock:
Title: Well done everybody Post by: red macca on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 08:03:10 Some prick copper said to me if he hears one peep or if i go near that entrance he will make it his duty to have me banned for life :D

Title: Well done everybody Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 08:31:57 'Good night everybody, theres no one here' as she walked off waving her truncheon. She was sarcastic about it all. Causing a fuss and agro all night.
Title: Well done everybody Post by: Kinky Tom on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 08:36:51 Well done all, very pleasantly supprised by the turnout after the game - sorry I left a little early, found my Dad about 10 and he wanted to drive home. :evil:
We certainly got our point across though, we'll see if anything comes of it.

I think it'll have a pretty big piece on tonights programme. (I didn't join in the sit in, as I wouldn't have been able to get up again!) was that you at the back by the fence looking a bit crippled? i nearly came over and said hello but couldn't remember what you looked like to be fair! fair play to you for travelling from yovile with a broken leg for that though :D Title: Well done everybody Post by: herthab on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 13:33:07 Quote from: "sonic youth" Quote from: "herthab" Were you stood next to Larwood during the protest Lady?

Even my lad, who usually has no interest in the off-field activities, was concerned when I told him about the very real possibility of no league club in his hometown. Title: Well done everybody Post by: Luci on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 13:34:58 Ohhhhhhhhhhh I saw someone on crutches stood by the fence! :D
Title: Well done everybody Post by: Summerof69 on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 15:21:04 I kinda enjoyed last night, because it felt we were actually doing something.
It would've been nice if Bob 'Pinnoccio' Holt , Diamandis and co. were there taking the flak, but you can't have everything Title: Well done everybody Post by: Phil_S on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 15:26:03 I think rushing the door was stupid. It started with a few lads pushing everybody from the back, & was quite deliberate. If one of the coppers had hit someone with a truncheon or it had carried on, then it would have been labelled as "the hooligan element" by the press. (deserved or not) As it was, we were (unfairly) refered to as a"mob".
We HAVE to keep it peaceful to maintain credibility. (As much as I hate the b'stards) Title: Well done everybody Post by: red macca on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 16:51:51 Quote from: "Phil_S" I think rushing the door was stupid.
