should the game against brighton go ahead, perhaps their fans would lend their support to similar action?

anyway the videos are well worth watching...

Good watch.

Should we consider (peacefully) doing the same?

I think it's too little too late, we had our chances but the majority of fans didn't want to know.

ON THE PITCH! ON THE PITCH! ON THE PITCH!

On a serious level we really need to step up the protest's if we do manage to get to the Brighton game.

I know. I was part of the crowd that stood outside the Arkells singing for the head of the board ...

But ...

I refuse to give up until we default on a fixture and get kicked out of the league - and that hasn't happened yet.

Anything, at this point, is worth a try if you ask me.

What haven't we tried that's:

a) Peaceful

b) Legal

Most people now want to do illegall not legal, the fans have done things legally for far too long now.

The thing is...if we get to the Brighton game and stand outside i bet it will be the same faces as per usual as most Swindon fans seem to think that a miraculous pot of Gold will make an appearance and save us from going under.

GET A FUCKING GRIP YOU CUNTS.

I honestly don't think we'd ever be able to match protests like that, the majority of our fans just can't get home soon enough or believe the lies fed to them.
I mean FFS we've spent over a year trying to make it clear what a state this club was in..........what was the thanks abuse, the tag of being 'busybodies' and on the whole ignored by most.

Apathy rules supreme unfortunately and looking at the Brighton videos it just makes me more angry.

You say that but, my old man who has not been at any of the protests said.
'You'll start seeing alot more older fans now, including myself'.
One last fucking time, make it a goodun and lets start sorting it now.

I don't think attacking other fans, who for whatever reason, (Probably that they don't come onto the forums) decided not to protest is helping.

The blame lies firmly with one small group of people: SSW, MD and JW.

All this bullshit about fans 'not caring' because they didn't chose to protest is way wide of the mark imho, the club has done a first class snow job.

It's not been apathy, it's been ignorance........................................

I agree wholeheartedly mate and will continue to do all I can but most of our fans just have ignored everything and will probably continue to do so.

You are right Hertha and I agree with you but on the flip side there have been alot of people who have attacked the Trust, protests etc that do use forums and had access to the facts. These chose instead to ridicule protesters and just ignore facts when presented right in front of them
