It will not matter. Fans can't get anywhere close to the stadium with fencing and security down there. Will not bean exaggeration to say the closest will,be the CG garden
Indeed, the security today is very strong with nobody allowed anywhere near the stadium, they have been there since 1pm.

Hence the ‘heavies’ already parading around the ground.

Have they been told they may have to wait for their financial dues?

based on the trust twitter post within the article it seems like the trust is asking the fans to speak up and show discontent for the owner. Why haven't they raised their voice and rallied the fans properly. Instead of asking for bedsheet photos they should be asking for numbers to show up for true coverage and effect.

All fair comments but right now, with covid restrictions still in place, and the fact that any direct action could lead to minor disturbances, the Trust aren't currently in position to formally organize protests this weekend.

That said, as individuals, if fans mobilize they're entitled to protest in which ever way they see fit.

And then potentally getting arrested. Leaving the Trust free of culpability or responsibility...  Hmmm

It seems the fans really need an official voice, more than ever right now, not one that is going to hide behind them.

I understand the difficulties RE: covid but they have an opportunity to win a good bunch of fans backing here with a very good publicity stunt. The drone idea and/a tennis ball machine/launcher are both good ideas that the Trust could arrange with little organisation. Maybe all the tennis balls should just say "Power Out" on them. Or the drone, carrying 1879 Red & White balloons (admittedly I haven't tested this payload) with "Power Out" on them to then be dropped into the stadia on match day.

Or even hire the "Trump" blimp, and get a huge print out of Lausanne Lee's face tied to it, whilst wearing a huge "Power Out" Tee.

Come on, there's tons of stuff that could be done that don't need plaquards and pitchforks. Get creative. Make the cunt look stupid to some degree. Humiliation is better than tanked up/beered up rage/anger any day  Pint

I'm really not sure how you can take umbrage at me saying people have the right to protest in any way they see fit. A grossly unfair accusation that we're in some way hiding behind fans rather than working endlessly as a group of volunteers to represent them.

If fans were at games this would be very different but the current climate and the sheer workload that the Trust is dealing with right now, added to the information we have, led us to a unanimous decision that trying to organize a Trust-backed protest this week wasn't the best option. 

Its fine to disagree with that, but please do so respectfully and don't use your weird issue with me to offend the others on the Trust board who are doing a phenomenal job in their spare time.

I don't think the weird issue is just with you.

both the tennis balls and drone idea would be illegal and the individuals could face charges. As said I'm very much up for something if organised correctly but obviously the trust wouldn't be able to support illegal acts.

I would say that being a few days before the last game that nothing can be done anyway and power would have safely made it through the season.

I genuinely think that if this was a first time event at another club the rising would have been greater. the fact that this happens to us so often there's a more of an acceptance

Trust membership is up to 1,000. now. Hat's off to them for the movement. Starting to make Power's mocking of it previously look a little foolish.

I tried to sign up but couldn't - because PayPal can be a bit of an idiot at times.

I know I've been critical of the trust in the past, but this lot seem capable and active.
