It could start by people demanding season ticket money back thatswhat the protest should be about.

I was just thinking the same actually, as long as people come throught the turnstile they dont care! Maybe if people started staying away & stating its because of Ridsdale they are staying away, maybe the rest of the board would act & get rid of the lying thieving prick!

Another option is to have a demo outside the main entrance whilst the game is going on?!

The other side of it is, that with mostly season ticket holders, the money is already banked.

TBH I don't think they care wether the ST holders turn up or not and unless you can get the walk up fans to stay away then it's pretty pointless - IMO

My other concern against people not going to matches would be the effect it has on the players. We're still in the middle of a promotion charge and would hate to see that go down the pan because of off the field situations.

We boycotted all our home games for half a season around 12 years ago, we didn't win one league game in that period. We did however double our travelling support although it obviously didn't help much!

Firstly If a march is decided as the best form of protest i'd turn up but not go to the game but another possibility which in my opinion would have as much effect as any protest march would be if you could coax,plead,cajole or even beg people not to enter the stadium for five miutes or so when game has kicked off let them see an empty stadium at three o clock on a match day the biggest problem youve got to any protest is communicating your intentions to the majority of fans.

It has occurred to me that the main reason Borley and Co are against demos is that it might affect the walk up attendance. If that was the case then we should demo at every game and do it BEFORE the game for maximum impact.

The club wont be able to handle that for a long period and will have to act.


that would only affect Compass, the rights to that were sold long ago!

FAO Any shareholder going to Wednesday's EGM, can you specifically ask the details about the deal with Compass and get figures to what we get out of it?

Also ask do we OWE them any money?
