Anything?  Nothing?  Just accept what's going on?

Any ideas?

Without wishing to be pedantic mate, you've already said you're not going anymore?

Think i'll just let it die

He may not want to go to the game and give the club money, I think he was inferring about protests

Completely different thing

I'm not sure there is a lot we can do Jan. Protests might not get the numbers as per usual. And even if they did it could still be too late. It's a bit of a bitch.

If anything is gonna be done it needs to be planned now.

We've got 4 days.


The clock is ticking..................

Whatever is decided, It needs to be independant in my view

The Trust / SC should approve of any action but not be responsible for its organisation

Well we've got to be more vocal. Not 200 people and 4 banners but 1000+ and frankly, a bit more hostility than "Sack the board" over and over. I'm not saying start chucking bricks about but it's time to step things up.

I'm right behind you Fred!

What do you want us to do?

 :?

The post was tongue in cheek Fred, but someone needs to take the lead.

I tried to keep the march going the last time but got hardly any interest in it and was actually advised by many to drop it.

We need people with experience, who are respected, to take charge.

I'm ruled out on both counts..........

In all fairness how many people will actually turn up?!! People talk the talk, but when it comes to crunch day no-one is anywhere to be seen.... :|

I think it's time to hit them hard and get personal.

Wills needs to be told quite frankly that he needs to grow some fucking balls and make decisions for himself rather than being a puppet.

And Diamandis needs to be put in his place. He needs a reality check. It's not his fucking football club, he is not God. We need to make him realise that he's not going to get a single fucking penny out of anybody.

 :D  It made me laugh

I'm gonna cook some Skate wings for my lunch and, for once, get behind any protest. As long as it's not cold or wet. Or i have to pretend i can fight. Or throw anything. Otherwise i'm game for anything this time.

Although you can't stand behind me if Fred won't let you herthab. The Mexican can't either, he's from Brighton...

Your average Joe has something to be pissed off about now.People struggle to understand all the boardroom issues but im pretty sure they will be pissed off about Sturrocks departure.

My point is though, statements like this (http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1177119,00.html), you average Joe will swallow hook, line and sinker. As before.

If you guys need to sort out any TV stuff again I can speak to ITV if you want?

Me too, can;t believe Fred didn;t see that one coming.  

PS I think the avatar helped.

As for Dave's comments, I know exactly what you mean, didn't take it as being pedantic at all.  It's a dilemma I really don't want those people to receive one more penny of my money but I don't feel like I can just sit back and do nothing!!

Holt's at it again  :roll:

It sounds positive at least. Looks as though it's with the legals again, so fingers firmly crossed.

We'll be saying the same thing this time next week though Sam. We said it last week.

"Fitton has expressed surprise at the latest Adver headline"

Didn't he say exactly the same thing about the last takeover!!

Also how come in hasn't had a go at the club's official local paper WDP for yesterday's takeover gossip.

Yet again he's trying to sweep all the crap under the carpet.

And coincendently Fitton is out of the country on business.... :-))(

Are you having a laugh Sam, or have you been popping some happy pills or something?

It sounds like a knee jerk reaction from the club.

Well, judgfing on his track record, I believe the takeover IS in trouble

saturdays game is possibly the worst game to protest at likely to be about 4 thousand at the game .

Maybe we can get the FGR fans involved?? A lot of Swindon followers amongst them.

How many will they bring?

I have been on the FGR forum for a week now and every man bar none has been sympathetic to our cause, and at least half say they have or do follow Swindon as well or their friends and family do.

Could be possible.

Not necessarily so. The protest after the Cheltenham game was the only one to have any impact, and there were 2,000 at that match.

The Adver/Radio Swindon needs to press Bob Holt on Friday and ask him to answer yes or no to the question "So you said the deal would be done by today, has it been?" If the answer is no they should splash that everywhere on Saturday morning. It was the £18m headline that stirred up the hostility the night of the Cheltenham match, and it will take something like that again.

FGR have sold 1,000 tickets so far and have requested today another 750 so they may well be bringing 1,500ish.

Having another clubs supporters, support us in our protests agains't our board, would surely send quite a powerful message.

If they were not half hour down the road i would agree but doubt anything will happen saturday anyway

FGR are bring 1,500?  :shock:

Thats damm impressive for a club of that size.

Folks i do not think normal protests will work. I think it is time to get personal and nasty- we are  in the last chance saloon here

Might be worth mentioning on one of their forums then??

And nice of them to bring more down to Swindon than they get in an average home game!

Yeah I was just looking at their gates! They average between 700-1200 !!

Doesn't help with comments like this from the EA site



These are the exact people I keep going on about. Rose tinted specs.

It's the biggest day in Forest Green's history (well, apart from two trips to Wembley and another Trophy final at Villa Park). Their supporters, while sympathetic, are coming to enjoy themselves and to see their team win.

Here's my idea.

Internet petition with an open message of support to Andrew Fitton.  I would hope we could get 2,000 or so signatures.  The petition would need to be publicised in local media for the benefit of those who do not frequent STFC internet sites.

I think, as a show of numbers, this might be more effective than a physical protest...in that people would be less reticent about coming forward.

It's not perfect...just a thought.

You crack on then Bart and when Diamond Mike and his legal team are opposite you in court you can share the whole experience with us.

nooooooooooooooooooooo not intenet petitions

I refuse to sign any internet petitions because they are gay, don't work and harm any cause more than they help it.

On a protest note. I've sort have given up. If someone with charisma and good leadership comes along and starts the organisation ball rolling then I might jump on board, but at the moment it all seems a bit late.

I think there's no point protesting anymore, most supporters will always believe the spiel that the board throw at us and thats just a fact of life im afraid.

Protest arent going to make a blind bit of difference to the cunts that are currently in charge. They have no souls! :evil:

I am afraid I just cant sit back and watch all this die around me.

I have to try and do something, I would never forgive myself if I at least did not try

I admire your fighting spirit but we all know nothing will stop these fuckers from taking our Club down, i just cant believe that this can happen in the 21st Century!!

There's is no 'these'. Just the singular - Diamandis.

He's the only one stopping this takeover from going through.

So we just sit about with no club then?  Do we have to wait until STFC is no more for people to realise what this board have done to this club?

Any protests or any action whatsoever within the law count me in.

So the plan is...nothing because there is no point.

I realise complaining nothing is happening helps nobody, if I had an idea I'd share it, but I don't.

Pro Fitton/anti board  chants are all I can think of. The average person just doesn't care. It's going to take the media picking this up to stir them.

???? anyone ???

Are we protesting then?
Same time and place?

TUMDFC

Ok mate

\ :D /

Why don't we all wear orange  :wink:


On a serious note, I'm hoping to be back in Town for Saturday (with my Yankee friend who some of you met at Wycombe) so count me in for anything that may be happening!

Could he get hold of any US Hardware ?????

(joke)

We need to do something about Diamandis- is there anyway the revenue/FL can hlep us

I was thinking more along the lines of a Nuclear weapon.......... :D

They wont get involved Bart

We need to forcibly eject him from the ground with a

"and dont fucking come back !"
