Saturday

[bigbobjoylove]

The problem is the same as it's been from the start, getting information out. The Club can come out in the Adver, on the OS and in the local tv media. What can we do? If the Trust say something the club counter by saying that the Trust is a minority of supporters and then proceed to dismiss them as busybodies, or out for their own agenda. Most fans will swallow this.

Exactly.

Kingston Robin from myonlyswindon.com basically shows what the average head-in-the-sand supporter is like.

i ddoubt i'd travel to chippenham for footy. i'd probably just watch supermarine now and then.

i don't understand the argument that protests aren't worthwhile. even if they weren't, what's the problem with at least trying? i'd rather waste my time on futile efforts than sit idly and watch things unravel.

Absolutely spot on there mate.

If we get a message out and at least give it a go, then if the worst does happen at least we tried. If we went under and I'd not done anything I'd be forever kicking myself.

I think all fair points.

Bless him.

  The little spats you have with him make for great reading.

He's possibly the most annoying poster ever though as he seems to think that football manager games are reality and if it doesn't appear on the official site then it isn't real. He also has this superiority complex with us still think we are a big club which confuses me to be honest......the worrying thing is that he has a kid

:shock:

Had him down for an Oxford/Reading wind-up merchant for ages until I read he'd met up with quite a few people before the Millwall game.

Some of the stuff he comes out with utterly beggars belief at times. He keeps the place interesting though to be fair.

Just an aside. Wouldn't a protest be better BEFORE Saturday?

[deltaincline]

While there is still a club to fight for I will attend a protest irrespective if the "self appointed professional strategists" deem it futile. For some on here it seems more like a tussle over inflated egos rather than standing up for what is right despite the odds being stacked against you.

It seems some fans only want to be part of a large protest with a guaranteed outcome. Unfortunately if you added to the numbers instead or reading about them in the adver then attendances would have been higher.

Has Diamandis given up despite his past record and future issues. You bet he hasn't, and as proud Swindon fans neither should we. I won't be beaten into silence or non attendance by him or others who have given up. I'd would prefer to protest and lose than sit in the pub and say I told you it wouldn't work.

That post sums up my feelings as well. Reading through this forum late tonight it seems to me that one or two plastics would rather have a dick-waving contest majoring on 'I Told You So' politics rather than rally round and support SOME sort of action against a corrupt board that has piled misery on us fans.

Granted, Sturrock backed the board when the last protests looked like having an effect. The trust were cunts for falling for his 'this is the last time I'll get involved, but I'm going to back (the wankers) anyway'. They bottled it in favour of not upsetting sturrock but ultimately shot a big fuckoff hole in the protests. Forgive my ignorance though, but why does anyone need the approval of a load of STFC plastics (or the fucking trust) to protest against the cunts in charge? I honestly don't get it; Is the systematic destruction of the club over the last decade or so not enough to prompt a final, if ultimately futile, effort to get Fitton in and to rid ourselves of the cunts that are ultimately responsible for the crock of shit that we're in?

for fucks sake you cunt say what you really fucking think.

Agree with the sentiments to a large degree delta, but I think it's a bit harsh calling people plastics because they're worn down by the whole thing. That said, while I can understand the "here we go again, what's the point" frustration but one way of guaranteeing any protest has no effect is to not bother turning up because you're fed up of it all.

Don't pussy out paul. Fight him. Fight him like you would fox hunters and people who eat veal topped with foie gras. You big lefty nazi.

Nah, I'm a lover not a fighter. And I'm not great at that

Oh and delta. Of course there is going to be a bit of dick waving on here. It's an internet forum, which means the only thing you've got to identify your posts are your avatar, your name and what ever crazy stuff you put up in that box to the right of them.
