Re: Dwindling Home Support?
 

The second article seems very contradictory. He talks a lot about Stanley's problems and says , yet we know Greg Clarke's views on Stanley from this weeks visit :rolleyes:

Maybe this forum is running short of news for the LT to pick up on and the journalist concerned is just trying to find another way of not having to leave the office and find some news :D

Because, what he said!!! ;) :) :)

Re: Dwindling Home Support?
 

Some very interesting points of view in this thread from both people.

Everybody knows my view on those idiots still messing about around our club.
Whilst they are still at the helm, there is no way we will ever progress that is quite clear to all.

As with the ground, its clearly not up to standard as we all know, its Blue Square standard at best, yet we wont do anything to try and improve it in the long term.
Its always "just in time" to satisfy the next regulation. Its embarrassingly poor in terms of League 2.

As for the flag ban, it is ridiculous , and no doubt in my mind it has destroyed everything the Ultra's have tried to do at games since there inception. Yes it was ridiculous to set a smoke bomb off, when they had been warned, but as others have pointed out, with CCTV why not just ban the individual , and not kill the entire ground atmosphere.

In my view, it is quite clear the club want shut of the whole "ultra's" movement which considering what they have done for the club in the last few years is an absolute disgrace.

My own personal opinion is I want a community club that the fans have a key role to play in now and for the future, that is the way forward in my mind.

Nobody is bigger than the Club

So, reading between the lines, I assume that means you want 'em out.

Now I suppose you'll come back and accuse me of putting words in your mouth.

Were you a politician in a previous life? ;)

Re: Dwindling Home Support?
 

No just somebody brought up with a trait of respecting people:o

Re: Dwindling Home Support?
 

I know Google Page Ranking and he is nothing like a politician, rather than sitting on his backside moaning he is the chair of the OSC and commits a lot of his time to things associated with this. The OSC is one of the avenues we should be utilising in order to try and move things forward whether that be through protesting or engaging in conversation with the Management at the club.

Re: Dwindling Home Support?
 

Me too. But people have got to earn respect. The people who currently run this club have done nothing to earn the fans' respect. That's why it's no good telling us we're all in it together from the top to the bottom. Until O'Neill and Whalley have gone, there will be no togetherness at this club no matter how much you might want it to happen.

Re: Dwindling Home Support?
 

It was a tongue-in-cheek remark, hence the winking smiley, but never mind. I don't sit in my backside, I turn up for most home matches and a fair few away ones too, therefore I'm entitled to express my opinions, even if they clash with the chairman of the supporters' club.

Re: Dwindling Home Support?
 

My remark was just to back up my opinion of Google Page Ranking wasn't meant to demean you in respect of your support for the club as I don't know you personally. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion as well, just like you I go on all the home games and any away games that I can.

Re: Dwindling Home Support?
 

If you look at my original post I did say "that is how it should be"

It's no use infighting that helps no one

Re: Dwindling Home Support?
 

OK, no offence taken, mate. It's O'Neill and Whalley we should be directing our venom at!

Re: Dwindling Home Support?
 

Is this some form of momentum ?I was going to include Google Page Ranking's original reply to but he changed it ;)

Re: Dwindling Home Support?
 

Agreed! When's the first protest? :D
