Even the protest group no longer is a protest group. not like you that singe having a cheap shot at PtB For me, they’ve kept their profile up, kept supporters informed, been calm and their communication updates have been measured. It would have been damaging to have encouraged protests and break government Covid restrictions and risk the safety and well being of our fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did outline a vision - championship in five years if I recall correctly; he just never outlined a plan that would give the vision any possibility of becoming a reality.

Lee Sinnott2 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I appreciate the good work you're doing, Matt, but I honestly can't understand why you are giving this guy air time.

He’s gone (finally), let’s not even give him the time of day to win people over with his lies. It’s clear he’s not a fan of OAFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a chance to hold Barry Owen to account and not to let him get away with platitudes or bland pronouncements.

It would have been damaging to have encouraged protests and break government Covid restrictions and risk the safety and well being of our fans Not a cheap shot, more said ironically. Apathy is rife, the majority have given up. Nonetheless, I don't think we have to be devoted to PTB to recognise where they are excellent and they might not be right. I know they can take feedback on the chin. For example, it's fair enough saying Covid restricts things and illness caused delay, but you can't dig at the Trust for not doing anything in the same timeframe whilst also having illnesses, since seeing off the attempted coup. And it is not right that there are only a dozen fans (between PTB , Foundation and your work to get Away Days only active ) out of several thousand. PTB have done really good stuff, but need to be ready for the new season and fans back in, I am sure they are preparing hard. Working with the Foundation is great news, differing objectives and complementary skills working to try and save the club. But action could be planned. For example I follow a Spanish team Recreativo Huelva, because they stayed in the hotel we were at before they played Barca in 2003 in La Liga, even though they were at home. They're the oldest team in Spain formed in 1889. On Saturday they will be relegated to the 5th tier, due the vagries of Spanish footballl means 2 relegations in one season! Their trust has been in disaray. Council now own them & ground and are 16m euros in debt. Limited fans are back in on Saturday and they are all wearing black and releasing black balloons. It won't save them, but it ris something aises awareness. This week saw us ranked 20th of the 92 for fan engagement, a farce. There needs to be greater awareness of our plight or attempts to salvage the club by more of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One club, can't recall which, had the PANTS protest, where the crowd brought a used piece of underwear and threw it on the field at a given signal.

That somehow over the past 5 or 6 years of him being on the board he continually told the owners what they were doing was wrong. Like some fucking Tinpot Nuremberg Defence. Also, I'm sure Matt even stated on the podcast a few episodes back, just after Shitpeas got the boot, that he could see no reason why he should be on. He was up to his neck in it until, unsurprisingly, the owner had absolutely no further use for him. He's been a constant parasite in the club and has revelled in the total megalomania that's swallowed it up. Fuck him, and fuck his bleating is what I reckon.

It's always good to hear stuff from the horse's mouth, however objectionable the individual is. Oxygen of publicity. Let's see what the jobsworth has to say for himself.
