Todays Protest

[Bogus Dave]

I missed the funeral  :x  so cant comment. But if im honest, i was abit dissapointed with the aftermatch protest. Numbers were dissapointing, and why did everyone bugger off after half an hour? We wanted to make a stand, and leaving after half hour is giving up easily.

and the lady steward touched my willy

I said earlier in the other thread that having 100 people or less, i heard it's actually more like 50 is pathetic and also not many behind the arkells after the game, you wouldn't think we were on the verge of going bust, it seems most fans just don't give a toss, it's harsh but it's the fucking truth.

It was cold and wet to be fair.

Yes i heard it was but if i was there i would protest even if it was bloody -5 and snowing, nothing would stop me, people should forget the weather the club is more important, we should be fighting for our club, i bet the board thought it was a right joke.

It wasn't advertised much outside the forum though was it?

[Bogus Dave]

Its ok, it wasn't a serios excuse. If i can stand their with waterlogged feet freezing my bollocks off, their is no excuse. The apathy of our fans is shocking.

[Ardiles]

Swindon is possibly the most apathetic town in the country.  I really think it's that simple.

I thought it was mentioned in the adver, with trust backing. If not then that is shocking

[Simon Pieman]

Ah the Trust, you mean the boys who cried wolf.

I think the Trust do a lot of good work, but kinda blew it the last time.

Ooooh you bitch!

[Simon Pieman]

I'm just saying what a lot of people are thinking Jan. Apathy, coupled with excuses to not protest will always prevail. The tide seemed to be turning at the open meeting in the GW Bar, I saw a few people who had belittled the Trust and protests turn out to that. They were genuinely going to get involved.

It's all in the peoples with/without the money hands.

[OneAndrewFitton]

I expected alot better and really thought this would be the best protest yet and that it would make the board stand up and take notice, however they are probably wetting themselves laughing thinking what a fucking joke.

[Simon Pieman]

So how many turned up after the game then?

[OneAndrewFitton]

I agree that when sturrock said not to protest and the trust backed down that ruined everything, i have since gone off the trust a little as i feel they let everyone down by abandoning the protests and it has cost us, they should have carried on regardless and no matter what sturrock said.

So how many turned up after the game then?

I heard between 50 and 100 at best.
