Or maybe this one, with a little ultras lyrical magic!!!!

have been in contact with the Police regarding making a start on 'officialising' the march.

There are numerous hurdles but one of them is that we must provide some form of marshalling/stewarding.

Volunteers please.

I can help, can get a vest easy enough lol what is required to keep police side happy? I Won't be in ground tho ?

stewarding will just be up to the ground - once at the ground the public become the responsibility of the stewards there.

katei77 · 14-02-2011, 21:58

get sum flyers out for the crewe game how many do u really need?

maccawozzagod · 14-02-2011, 22:26

as many as possible and people to hand them out. You want to organise it?

ukcowboy · 14-02-2011, 22:30

Macca, happy to help stewarding, however would find it hard to make the full march on foot for obvious reasons!

maccawozzagod · 14-02-2011, 22:34

well as a footnote (no pun intended) I was gonna add that should anybody wish to join the march but be unable to walk the distance then please join us as the hospital traffic lights. Please let people know as you talk to them but please stress that anybody more able really should join from town to swell the numbers

Just a thought!

I don't think a protest outside the main office would be a good idea, as you are on private land, and will probably get shifted. I am all in favour of peaceful protesting, but make sure of the legal aspect. A protest away from the terraces, but still within the boundries of the club may get difficult - as you would be causing an obstruction.

Sparks may fly, and it could get out of hand!

As I said, just a thought!

Whilst I agree with the previous post, the sparks may fly bit is a little far fetched I think. Who in their right mind could disagree with what everyone thinks apart from maybe 2 people

As far as I see it, there is only one person causing an obstruction and that is the person who legally owns 51% of the shares. I think that any protests should be directed at him and continued to be directed at him until he steps down and let's Stanley go forward. As long as he has his 51% Stanley will go nowhere exept into non-league. The sooner he goes the better. O'Neill quitting will solve nothing so any protests directed at him will be wasted. The media must be informed in order that all of football will know that this person is not wanted by Stanley supporters and the community of Accrington.

there may be a stumbling block with regards to the police. i have spoken with Inspector Claire Cooper who informs me that any lawful Protest March, whilst perfectly legal and we are entitled to, needs to have correct marshalling (stewarding) and must be covered by Public Liability Insurance should anybody be injured (for any reason) whilst under such a march. Any organiser (of whom technically anybody who has offered any sort of help, advice or ideas could be judged as one) could be held liable in the event of any injury or mishap.

i'll look into what insurance would cost (unless anybody already knows) but we might have to find an alternative.

Her advice was that a gathering in a place ,private or otherwise, would not need the various legal hurdles jumping, but would then be policed accordingly and only public disorder ramifications would come into play should anything happen.

And yes Jeff is correct, it is Eric that needs to go in order for anything positive to happen, but in my opinion O'Neil surely needs to go as well for he is the owner that hasn't a pot to pish in with regards to covering the bills

Bullseye, Jeff.
Don't need an 'insured' march, just make your feelings known before, during, and after the match.
