I was not at tonights meeting so im only going on what i have read tonight. From what i gather though there isnt anything planned as such.
What i think we need
A non trust member (or a couple of people) to take control and organise this properly
One protest that everyone gets behind. Im not 100% sure what the best idea is. I dont think a pitch invasion will work though. Maybe something simple like a mass protest outside the ground could still work, especially if we had far bigger numbers, like in excess of 1000. We need to decide an idea fast. But its important we choose one idea and we all go with it. Having several small ideas is not as good as one powerful idea that everyone backs.
A clear objective to be made clear to everyone. It is still a minority of people that are aware of the current situation and how bad it really is. We need to:
a) Make people aware how bad the situation is and how much we need there support
b) Make clear exactly why we are protesting
c) Make clear what we aim to achieve
This then needs to be put in the adver, back page, along with the protest plans. We can also use other sources like all the different fan message boards, face book, word of mouth etc to get as many people on board as possible.
We also need to make sure we get local and national coverage of the protests and get our point across to the nation.
For all this to work, we need a leader, organisation and unity. And fast!

What Mex said. The board would absolutely love it if an individual took charge of this just so they can say "That Give_us_an_S is a right troublemaker, blame him for everything".
This needs a collective effort from everybody. Having one person as a media mouthpiece may be an idea, but that's all they should be - spokesman, not leader.

Bit late for that though sam . The adver the wdp and all the radio stations have already said that this was a trust meeting and the trust have passed all 4 motions so it does not matter surely.
Pitch invasion is a stupid idea in my opinion and will ruin all the good work of the march in the day

Also if we manage to help save the club, what is the point in getting caught for this and banned from games for life? If the club get wind of this they will be out to catch people who do this I assure you. Stupid. Think about it a bit guys. |

Pitch Invasion is not a good idea IMO.I think it shows us as yobs like Leeds fans V Ipswich last year. Fans would just be banned anyway and the club would try to arrest people and release their pictures to have them arrested. I dont think a pitch invasion will endere us to the rest of the fan base it will make us look like hooligans unless a banner is taken into the centre circle or whatever...

Well I think they all need putting straight that this was not a Trust meeting, it was an open fans forum and merely facilitated by the Trust. |

Stupid. Think about it a bit guys. Had you been there you would have realised that this was an open meeting. The idea was proposed from the floor, the idea was voted on by everyone. The Trusts role was to investigate whether there was a legal way to do this on behalf of those wishing to do so. FWIW I think it is a terrible idea, it is illegal and will not be allowed by the club/OB. The point is us "guys" did think about it and voted accordingly, people have different opinions and that is up to them - but count me out. |

the meeting was held, arguements were raised, everyone was heard, votes were taken, decisions were made. thats that in my book. if you want to argue about it why didnt you come last night and state your opinion? there were people there who had the same viewpoint as you who put there case but at the end of the meeting a vote was taken, now for fucks sake lets get behind that vote instead of petty squabbling.
let me stress again get as many people as possible to attend the events on saturday. this is our chance to really prove how much this club means to us.

As I was not there last night I guess I can’t comment and have no right to comment and retract saying a pitch invasion is a stupid idea that will make us look like yobs. I wont squabble and suggest others don’t as well. Either get behind the idea then or don’t join in the pitch invasion simple I guess.

I'm sorry I couldn't get there batch, I have a few personal issues going on at the moment, so don't fucking have a dig at me because I wasn't there!! I would of been if I could been. Doesn't mean I don't care or do not want to get involved. We are all going to different opinions on this I agree with you. |

I have to admit I don't know how we can legally invade the pitch when the act of going on a pitch is illegal ... if you see what I mean.

Wasn't meant to be a dig, more an explanation of what happened in light of the "stupid, think" comment. Anyhow, the point is that the meeting covered all viewpoints and there should be enough going on to be inclusive for anyone wishing to protest. |
