I agree without fans in the stadium all concerned have hasn't it easy as us loyal followers have had to suffer in silence

Without being pernickety, I am not sure that the heading of this thread is correct. CM is a part owner and recent posts by certain fan groups put their weight behind him and his backers (I am not sure if their details are in the public domain).

ok,  protest against the majority shareholder. The one that has a controlling interest in the club.

I'm pretty sure that
  a. if Able came out with some transparency then they'd get treated based on their merits by fans groups too.

it's not some matey Clem clique. if a better offer is genuinly on the table then great.

 b. yes Morfuni's other backers (if any) aren't in the public domain either. I don't know how far the trust got with due diligence in them tbh.

Change is 100% needed, I can't see that being controversial.

You have to go with the best option based on what evidence you can see. surely. The alternative *may* be better. But with no way of knowing you can't back then based on Powers say so.

I say this having only rejoined the Trust last week.

Clem doesn't have any other backers, he doesn't need them. Its him and him only with regard to his bid.

It was suggested otherwise on this forum.

With the utmost respect to him, we didn't know for sure that Power had 'other backers' until about 18 months back.

I have messaged them regarding it. In recent times i can understand why they wouldn't support it but they have nothing to lose now

Did you hear anything back?

It seems very hard to get close to the stadium though at the moment, and no one seems keen to get one organised either.

How close can you get, isn't the bit behind the Arkells a PROW if it isn't I assume so far into the site past the CGH is possible. Key would be to ensure that its sensible and peaceful (to avoid any lockdown complaints), make sure the media cover it (At least locals and then get picked up by nationals) and a few interviews with fans querying why we are apparently so skint admin is required yet all these security staff are being paid for a closed door game and go from there.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification

Don't need to get close to the stadium per se, front of the car park has much more visibility to passing traffic on the Magic Roundabout. It's not like it will make any difference as to whether or not Power can hear people chanting etc. He isn't suddenly going to undergo a Damascene conversion

Can we not get a plane, they always get media attention.

Drones are cheaper than planes, can be controlled from a fair distance away from any area that is controlled by the club and do cause the game to stop....

Just an observation.

Exactly this. We kept hearing the "there's only me Shaaawwwnnn" and then the skeletons started falling out of the cupboards.

This isn't a dig at Axis (or Able come to that ) but based on our track record of ownership I am hugely wary of any potential owner.

Kieran Maguire (The Price of Football) is talking to BBC Wilts Sound today about the financial implications of our relegation.
