Personal view is that throwing stuff on pitch is puerile and not really fair on players or stewards.

 

If you must attend then I think it would be good to see the North Stand completely empty.

Protests cant rely on people to not do something when they have for the past 40 years or more. 

They rely on active demonstration. To drown out the apathy.

'Process of financial restructuring'

 

'Changing the club's model of recruitment'

 

Sounds truly chilling.

Just what I thought. Orwellian.

254 (sectioned weirdo’s) there. Well done to each and every one of them. Top supporters. 

#respect

Wouldn’t it be hilarious after this if we were promoted

Long live Abdallah

So if we do get there, the club and players can't count on your support then.

Don't worry about me, I’ll be there. Wembley’s not far down the road.

Will you still think that if we get a good win that could take us nearer to the playoffs?

Yes

If you attend this fixture you need to be sectioned

As I see it, the recent ‘momentum’ was not all encompassing. There was a clear difference between those who made the decision not to renew season tickets and/or boycott games as opposed to those who, whilst unhappy, made the decision to continue their support. This was reflected in the reduced number of home fans in attendance on Saturday - down by 750 to 900.

 

The fact that we had an 18 day break between games also played a part in calming things down. This did allow the Trust to organise a fans meeting to gauge fans views and draw up a written statement. The next significant milestone will be if/when we get a response from Abdallah to the Trust letter; specifically the nature of that response.

 

The ‘bitching and the odd grumble’ will always be part of this forum. As you point out, the level will rise if results are poor. 

 

 

To not renew your season ticket while still attending home games is going out without a whimper.

Anybody who is doing that should have some backbone.

Looks like all momentum has seeped away. No shock there.

Back to bitching on here and the odd grumble when we lose a few on the spin.

Not sure they would I'm not sure they actively bought us to become public enemy number 1 in a random town in Northern England.

They took the game on because of Scholes, now that narrative has run on. An obvious protest would give them something to talk about.

I was half expecting Lemsagem to try for a Monday 2pm kick off of the rearranged Tranmere match

Surely the game to boycott, if any, is the Mansfield TV match, even Sky wouldn’t be able to ignore the fact that the crowd only consisted of 500 Mansfield fans!!

 

Theyd actively welcome it if anything. They hardly picked us for our scintillating atmosphere, and it would help with their narrative around Scholes

Nothing will happen Andy. The club is sleep-walking into oblivion. 

Should be looking into the creation of a phoenix club. 

You’re worried we’re ‘sleepwalking into oblivion’ yet want us to make an entirely new club?

Interesting

In all honesty this could be good news if it's called off it will give time to organise a better more effective protest.

And it would be funny because it’s Tranmere

A near empty stadium would be a far more powerful message.

Never works cos you can’t mobilise enough people

Stuff like this always reminds me to think twice before criticising players now

You have no idea what’s going on in people’s heads, especially in a competitive environment

Very commendable for Jose to admit to that battle on camera. He’s never been a cult player solely for his footballing ability

There were over 4000 Sunderland fans at Donny the other month, surely a cup game will be a smaller home attendance and it’s a bowl stadium so should accommodate as many away fans as necessary, I’d have thought. Don’t see a reason we won’t be given more tickets.

Bet you can make a right din in there too

We are the Oldham, we love a bargain

Wonder what the home crowd will be like for this one

If it’s Scholes at least we’ll now be left with only Ibby and his Dowie shouts next time we get a new manager

What a hard question!  Do you take the man that has produced our best result for twenty years, I rank away to Fulham as better than the win at home against a much poorer than now Liverpool side, or do you take Scholes with all his experience as a player?   What relevant experience as a coach or manager does Scholes have or is he just a name that makes Abdallah happy with the possibility that a few more will turn up to watch.

 

Teams win when they are confident, know what they are doing and have sufficient players of the appropriate standard (and it could be said have nutrition by Antoine).  We have spent the season under Bunn questioning what he was doing.  Didn't hear anyone question the 4 2 3 1 or the substitutions Wild made.

 

When you are on the crest of a wave why jump off?

That Liverpool side would’ve battered Fulham. They had Luis Suarez up front for starters...

We’ll take 4,000 again, clubs always take big followings in the fourth round.

 

I remember Huddersfield filling the RRE in 2008 and then only bringing about 1,200 for the league game a few weeks later.

We will take a few thousand I’m sure. Hopefully a big following will give the game the magnitude that Fulham away naturally had to some of the foreign lads who perhaps might not know the meaning of this to the club. I’m sure Doncaster will be up for this one far more than Fulham were.

I almost feel more resigned to losing this than Fulham. Let’s hope whoever the manager is he can get them up for this one...
