Title: to conclude and onwards
Post by: mexico red on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 21:51:01
I feel last night was a great success, not only in terms of numbers but mainly down to the increased coverage in the media. The greater the pressure we can excert on the board through these outlets the better, the embarrassment that this coverage involves is a vital cog in the wheel of removing these shysters once and for all.

So where to now? Already mentioned is the idea of a march, which personally i think is a great idea, however, we need somebody to take the reins and go about this with a zeal that only football fans could possess. My initial suggestion would be Alan due to his past experiences, however i dont want to press gang anyone. Volunteers?

The idea of a fans united day is again an excellent one. Having witnessed the Brighton and Hove Albion day it was fantastic, but again we have to move fast if we are going to do this for Tranmere. We need to contact fan websites, trusts, and the media if we want the full impact of embarrasment and anger.

There are a lot of bright ideas on this site and a lot of users who have skills in varying departments. Lets grasp the nettle and go for it. This is our opportunity to try and fucking do something. If we dont try, well lets not think about it.

We love this club and i wont sit back and let it die. fight apathy and do everything you can to protest and encourage others.

I would be more than happy to organise a march.

Having been er, previously involved in several I know the SP, rules and have local fuzz contacts because of it.

Just as long as I don't get beaten to death for carrying a "Forest not stadium" placard  :P

Seriously though, I would suggest waiting until the Trust's Open Fans' Meeting on Monday to see what the consensus is on what we are going to do next.

If the collective decision is to do this then I will go full pelt to make it happen. I have a fair few media contacts but some assistance would be great.

I think Alan would be a great person to organise stuff but I think the figurehead should be outside of the Trust and any previous stuff to do with stadiums etc. Not thinking this personally, but people are going to pick holes in every little thing no doubt.

Good point. Happy to organise, but I shouldn't be the face in the media.

They're fed up with my ugly mug anyway.

I agree lady mex done a sterling job and im sure alam knows a few people who will come along to this. We really need this to happen at the tranmere game .

I have emailed Chris kamara and im hoping i will be able to get him to do some sort of story at least, be good if maybe the adver could speak to him and a few other ex players

The only problem with that is isn't Mex on the Trust Board?

Has anyone soken to the Official Supporters Club? I know they aren't political, but it's gone past that now.

Think the fan meeting Monday is an obvious focal point,need as many people as possible to go to it.

Everyone who got interviewed on the tv did a fantastic job :D  Know its something i couldn't do,my only contribution was shouting hysterically at the directors box  :oops:  Though i would be more than willing to do it again!

Going by what bennett said in todays adver herthab i would not even bother asking them, We do not condone protests but understand the fans concerns or something along those lines

I stopped my standing order for the 50/50 draw when that prat from the supporters club started slagging off the orange campaign.

Hopefully there will be a rep from the SC at Monday nights meeting as it would be good for all supporter groups to back any action that is decided to be taken and then the club cannot try their divide and concur act.

Perhaps if there is a march we should all wear masks of Diamandis

That would be good. If supporters club came out it would really confirm to the club that it's not just us busy bodies

I know its difficult for them because of their previous involvement with Power, But its time the Trust came out now and publicly backed protests. Theyve been holding back for too long IMO.

It has been on occasions.

So we ( by which I mean other more dedicated people than me) were all sorting out media getting involved and stuff and nobody thought to tell Paul? You bastards.
