Didn't think Bolton displayed a huge amount of talent. Big fairly fast lads trying to bully us out of it. Nothing more to their game. Ngoo fell foul of that through inexperience and impatience.

Is that definite?

Very annoying as I've already paid 80!

Home?! Official coach still on the M60! Horrible weather and traffic.

Fair enough!

Get down to the ticket office. I've just swapped two standing tickets for seated!

It would have to be funny to be humorous. The one bit that was funny was one of them loudly complaining about "those computer people" who stopped us signing Evans. Presumably by that he meant anyone capable of operating a computer?

Agree they are a complete bunch of pillocks and should be ashamed. Interesting that it went quiet ten minutes before half time when the bar opened. They have been pillocks since I started sitting near them when the lookers closed and no doubt will be for many years in the future.

Exactly this

Well I'd be up for doing that. Anyone else?

Having a brief skim through the supporters direct website it seems you are right. You can however change the constitution of the trust with a 75% majority of a meeting (if our trust's constitution is the same as the model one). Presumably an easier thing to do would be to bring a confidence vote up at the next trust meeting? The website doesn't seem to say when the next meeting is. How would you go about putting a vote of confidence on the agenda?

Well I'll ask again as nobody seems to know, how do we as members remove him from the chair of the trust? If Corney still wants to keep him on th board then so be it but at least he can't claim to represent me!

I think it is clear that most are against this signing. Even so, in what way has the club sought to ascertain the views of its fans as Barry Owen himself said was the most important thing to do in December? Owen out of the trust!

I agree. I am massively against this signing but also the way it has been handled by the club especially by our so called fans representative. If I do go on Saturday (I am in two minds) I will be wanting to vent my displeasure, particularly against Barry Owen. Ps does anyone know if there is a formal way for members to remove the chair of the trust from his post?

I see what you are saying but I think it only right that the club and anyone else for that matter see the majority of fans' displeasure at the events of this week and particularly how our so called representative has behaved.

Right, what form do we think the protest if any should take? Or prob deserves a new thread I agree.

I think the majority are agreed that Barry has let down the fans badly in this episode even if he wasn't the "driving force" behind it although I happen to think he would have been given his previous actions. The question is what are we going to do about it? I think we should attempt to force him to stand down as chair of the trust. Some kind of protest on Saturday? Can we force an extraordinary trust meeting? If a significant proportion of fans sing "we want Barry out" during the next match there has to be some kind of reaction? Am I right in thinking that all season ticket holders are members of the trust? In which case we should be able to hold a vote of no confidence. If SC chooses to keep him on the board in a different capacity then that is up to him.

He's certainly been no stranger to the pie shop since he left us!

Thanks, looking at the map the Wetherspoons Sheaf Island is a bit closer so might try there if we have time.

Having been impressed with the official coach's ability to get us to the match in time for a quick pint (I hadn't got on the coach for years before recently), I have booked myself and my dad on it. I've read above that the nearest pub for away fans is ten minutes away from the ground, my dad isn't so good with walking too far - is that a brisk ten minutes or is there anywhere nearer? Or will we have to make do with the bar in the ground? Thanks

Excellent point that. Sounded like a good game. We need Forte to stay fit.

Not sure, the Western Sydney Wanderers have a good old fashioned football name. They have however only been in existence for only two seasons I think.

I miss plakilakki or (however you spell it) and 'Ronnie Moore, horlympic manager'. Baffling but hilarious.

You'll be fine with the beer Sam, you will just have to drink more of it!

Didn't do anything special. Just clicked the link on my iPhone.
