jsslatic Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I still don't understand what they're protesting. The banner doesn't make any sense. There's plenty to have been unhappy about in recent times but without a cogent message and clear goals it's embarrassing and impossible to even consider supporting.

Bristolatic Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I think they're all just on an ego trip. Doomed to fail with any luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Surely even the most ardent supporter of the present situation at the club must realise that anybody has the right to free speech-whatever they wish to say, within the constraints of acceptable behaviour. Why on earth anyone thinks that it is correct to have a poll on it I find very strange and a bit worrying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth anyone thinks that it is correct to have a poll on it I find very strange and a bit worrying! I'm puzzled as to why you think it's strange. There are things to whine about. I want somebody fantastically wealthy throwing money into my club. I don't see how this group will achieve this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth anyone thinks that it is correct to have a poll on it I find very strange and a bit worrying! Some people still claim loudly that the earth is flat, I've seen them protesting it in that there London many times... moronic though that is. This protest is badly timed, pointless and their banner is factually incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddySmoker Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Changing your tune because (currently) 95% disagree with you? It is probably the same 95% who thought in an earlier poll that we would attain more points with Bambi in the team. The poll results only showed once I signed out but you will quite obviously choose to ignore that fact or dispute it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth anyone thinks that it is correct to have a poll on it I find very strange and a bit worrying! I wanted to see the sort of split there was. Hard to tell exactly when people are back and forth over lots of pages. Not sure why it's wrong to have a poll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I don't see anything wrong with this. It's a good snapshot to judge how fans feeling/likely to act at this moment in time. I wonder if the protest group did anything like this at their conception and now just before their first planned protest today. If they did and seems that Westy is still frequenting this forum, can I see some feedback please? Thanks I wonder if the club will watch this thread too..hmmmm Edited July 16, 2016 by underdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc21 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I do agree with some of the views they are trying too put across,but, now is not the time to unsettle the new manager and his new team he is trying to put together, my personal view is I've got a gut feeling this new manager is the right man for us and let's see how it pans out, any protest off the field at the moment is only going to be a big distraction for mr Robinson when at this present time he needs to be concentrating 100% on assembling a new squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The concept isn't completely without basis. The appointment of a promising enough, but unproven, manager and a handful of players doesn't change the fact that there are issues. Yes, the whole thing lacks direction but I find the eagerness to round on these guys pretty distasteful. Corney's really ground us down over the years if appointing a first-time manager and half building a squad out of unknown players equates to a positive buzz about the club.

Corney's really ground us down over the years if appointing a first-time manager and half building a squad out of unknown players equates to a positive buzz about the club. The problem I have with the protest is there's a lack of clarity about what it is they're trying to achieve, a closed ranks mentality and only appearing to snipe at fans they should be trying to get on side. All things the club has been guilty of for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfluff1985 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 They get criticised because they won't share any plans etc outside their closed Facebook group and not once has any one of them been able to have a reasonable debate on the subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagger Lee Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 If people answer no to joining this protest, it doesn't necessarily mean they're entirely happy with everything. Exactly My main gripe has been the piss poor communications with the fans, ironically it is the easiest and cheapest criticism for the board to fix. Do we have a right to know most things - No But if you want fans to stay connected to the club, even through the direst of times, then open honesty is the way. But to protest about the club and be secretive about the protest ....... hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Think you'd struggle to find anyone happy with everything that happens at the club mate Definite questions to be asked and I think some valid points have been raised. In terms of the protest though, it's all a bit 'Islamic ray guns'. As for having accountants looking into the books, I reckon they'll find we're not doing too well out of the whole deal in an entirely legal way (which is common knowledge).

Makes me laugh how secretive they are. Of course there are things that could be improved. We're not at a protest stage or anywhere near for me. That with the accountants is ridiculous. Like Corney and the rest are into some serious embezzling ? Absolute crusade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Definite questions to be asked and I think some valid points have been raised. In terms of the protest though, it's all a bit 'Islamic ray guns'. As for having accountants looking into the books, I reckon they'll find we're not doing too well out of the whole deal in an entirely legal way (which is common knowledge). That "Islamic ray guns" thing was a rather funny meme, until you actually paid attention to what the drunken semi-literate fool was saying. Whilst he was quoted with the preceeding statement, it's clear to the open minded observer that he was saying "Islamic rape gangs". It might be amusing to mock his badly articulated statement, but was it untrue to suggest gangs of men who were supposed believers in Islam were committing multiple rape? I think this is/was a cautionary event, even for liberals like myself. It's a good time to start asking questions rather than accepting vague answers.
