League one forever Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 4 minutes ago, basilrobbie said: No, we never did that. We probably got down to around 1,000 or so going into home games. Drew Arsenal at home in the FA Cup, only sold 4,000 home tickets. Reached a play-off final with Exeter and again only took 4,000 (we'd taken 32,000 and 38,000 on the two previous occasions). Probably 75% of the home fans at those two games weren't regulars. I think you are entitled to be angry. But I also think you have got them rattled. Yeah, they definitely don’t like the negative media attention. No question. In addition when fans did protest inside the ground, it brought about the biggest noise. So I have some sympathy with the view- of going again to keep the pressure up. I just can’t bring myself to pay money to protest, and I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that. I think the major difference between us and you though, is that you had a much more united and engaged fanbase. So while they weren’t going to games they would still turn up outside the ground every week- etc. I’d like us to go down this route personally.

peanuts2 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 i think the two recent at game protests have got them rattled first was the smear campaign on social media via they're proxies and now this definitely got under theyre skin and now like bullies the world over they are lashing out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboy Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Ive known Nathan for many years and he is one of the most loyal Latics fans ever.Home and away every game. If thats the way they treat such loyal fans then it beggars belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs a major national to run this story. One of the more reputable ones preferably. Not sure how many people read it, but to be fair Suzanne Geldard writes some excellent columns and match reports. She is pretty much the only source of information for fans in relation to normal football matters at the club. Much more than the club itself. Any coverage that she is able to provide is good coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wroteforluck87 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 There are two types of football banning orders criminal and civil both have to brought to the courts by the police then enforced by the courts,a criminal one would come after being arrest for criminal behaviour, a civil one would come by the police submitting evidence to the courts that a certain individual is persistently committed in acts of anti social behaviour.. These bans are for 3 years for first ban and 5 years for a second, the terms of the bans are for home and away games (sometimes with restrictions of travelling to the town or city of away games) and to surrender your passport when England play abroad. In the case of these 3 lads I sense foul play.. I think the mastermind of these letters wants to dress this ban up at as if it was a legitimate ban when it isn't, I urge these lads to get intouch with the Football Supporters Association.. there will be someone there with the relevant knowledge and experience who will help.
