The Spirit of '69 and our Day of Action

Seriously
Holloway should keep away from being dragged into anything related to Morfuni, running of the club and frustrations from supporters about these matters.
However what I have seen and heard he has improved onfield performances excluding Colchester
So he would get my vote. So far

Next you will say Donald Trump is a cunt ?

He is

No ones disagreeing with that

Is this a serious question?

[Robinz]

The majority of voting Americans don't agree with you.
Perhaps there is some of the "green eyed" monsters showing here ?
Personally, I think the world needs Trump as Britain need Nigel Farage 😉

I think the spirit of 69 organisers need to get honest with themselves. The protests aren’t about the quality of the food offering, the pre- match entertainment, the signage around the ground or the toilets… they’re about RESULTS. We are in danger of going out the league, that’s what it’s about, if we were in the top 3 the protests wouldn’t be happening. As someone who wore an orange hat yesterday my major concern is this could drive a massive wedge between Clem and the supporters . Clem will say fuck it, I’m going to stop investing, I’m going to sell our best players and by the way I’m still not going to sell the club until I’ve made my money back and then some. That’s the danger here.

You make it sound as though these are independent outcomes.
The reason we are in this state is because of systemic under-investment and mismanagement.  Barring a miracle the scenario of us being at the top of the table with this regime is fantasy. Of course the protests aren't directly about the factors you've listed; they're symptoms that are further indications of the harm being caused to this club.

And if Clem thinks that driving the club further down, as you suggest he might, is anything other than a sure fire way to eliminate any value from the club then he must be crazy as well as incompetent!

Are you trolling here?

Clem’s not investing. It’s all loans he’ll want it back. It’s lending, not investing & its entirely possibly the money he’s lending the club is directly coming out the club as ‘admin fees’

Even with the so called ‘investment’ every single thing related to the club has declined. Everything.

He already sells each & every player that a bid comes in but also lets high earners go for free. We’ll see that again in January

….and I haven’t even mentioned Kiely, Hart or Austin.


I’m not sure why I even engaged with this post…

Are you for real ??,  if you can’t see he’s doing that already then you’re blind.

Have heard that Grimsby fans wearing orange hats were told by stewards that if they did not remove they would be ejected.  Can’t confirm that but I know that a fan in the town end was told by stewards to remove an orange tabard,  under what regulations ??.  Stewards on an ego trip, I’ll continue to wear whatever i want,  fuck ‘em.

Why wear the orange hat then?

The whole movement is not results driven at all, it's about the absolutely diabolical way that the club is run, the lack of comms, the lack of decent football staff at the club, the lack of any cohesive plans put in place to take the club forward. Where is the investment in the training ground, the academy, the actual ground. According to initial plans Clem put in place, we should by now have a roof on the SB. The bloody thing is more or less condemned. The director of football and Danny Rose have just upped and left for Salford, the marketing guru STILL hasn't been appointed and the club is selling the majority of its stock via a third party vendor. The reason results aren't good is because the business is being run by a load of chancers, who evidently (it's about 4 years into the process) DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING and trying to do things, on the cheap.

Of course if we were high in the league the protests wouldn't be quite so vociferous, but the facts of the matter we've dropped to our lowest position in history, because of the malaise behind the scenes. Clem won't stop funding the club because then it goes into Admin and potentially he doesn't get a penny of his investment back.

I've been a member of this forum since day 1 and have to say, this thread contains some of the most remarkable posts I've ever read. Take a bow Robinz and Bob1978

To be absolutely fair wearing an orange tabard is going to make you look like a steward, I can see why they wouldn't be keen on that.

I assume that the tabard has potential to clash with stewards or other match day ground staff…
