RIVAL PROTEST TONIGHT

Tue Feb 09, 2010 9:32 am

How about all the sniping twats who criticise us for peacefully demonstrating our feelings at the mismanagement of our club, have their own pro Ridsdale rally.

That way instead of slagging off the few hundred people that want to express their feelings,they can show how much support they have for PR and back up their claims that we are in the minority.
Yes the vast majority may not want to demonstrate either way, but just because they ain't at the demonstrating at the PR out demonsration it don't mean they are happy with the way things are being run.

However the snipers would have you believe that those that don't demonstrate are obviously in the pro PR camp.
So time to be counted, if you are in the pro PR camp, then make yourselves visible and back up such claims.

That way, when the truth of the mis-management comes out, at least we will know who to point the fingers at.

Gwyn it's far easier to snipe behind a keyboard so we wont see them anytime soon.

Sniping twats, mmmm!
That'll help.

By suggesting people don't agree with the protests you automatically assume they're pro Ridsdale. Most people have no knowledge/experience of how a boardroom works so thy presently have no idea what action to take, people are bewildered! A protest outside the stadium cuts no ice as not one of the 'Ridsdale Out' brigade has been able to offer a suitable alternative. Please don't suggest a current member of the board as they are equally culpable. Where's the accountant, who audits the accounts, why doesn't the (presently impotent) Supporters Trust gain more publicity, influence.

All I'm saying is, to lay all blame solely at Ridsdae's door is at best naive, there are enough people around with 'the clubs best interests at heart' who should have insisted upon a more active role.

I think this V Clee should put some spunk into our impotent Trust and stand for election...he seems to have all the ideas. I will be proudly standing with those demonstrators Tonight...peacefully puting my fears and dissatisfaction across. The Trust will be doing all it can politically to get answers and re assurances from the current board...all the fans have been treated with contempt and disdain and so far Ridsdale...the man that is paid a fortune...has got off quite lightly.

As for this bollox about no one else would take the job...I don't buy that at all...It is a huge wage and there are competent people in Britain more than able to do the job...although they will have to make drastic changes to get us out of this current mess. Leaving Peter Ridsdale in charge to continue building up huge debts on top of the ones already here makes no sense at all to me.

A lot of the people such as accountant/financial director, club solicitor etc. are people that Pr has brought in and surrounded himself with.

Now if you go back and read my post, i think you may understand the point I was trying to make, i.e. just because people don't take part in the demo, it doesn't mean they are against the demo, or for that matter in support of the PR regime. But the snipers has I have referred to them are mostly from the official board (which is well out of touch with grass roots feeling in my opinion).

Quite a few have implied because the demo numbered less than 500, then the vast majority of those at the game must be happy with the way the club is run, and surely even the most blinkered one eyed donkey will know that ain't anywhere near the truth.

The trust should have more teeth, totally agree and that's why I was one of the first on board, surely the sudden surge in membership will demonstrate that others feel the same way and rather than leave it to the few willing volunteers, now realise that to help their club being part of a powerful trust with a voice representing a good percentage of fans is the best way forward.
