This shower of shit deserve to be booed, if you pay your money to attend and you want to boo, crack on I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored 3 goals n felt nothing Watched every minute No booing from me No clapping either Felt far worse at Northampton the other year Was inevitable we would go down this year IF: > JS to be in charge of current squad retention or release > JS to be in charge of recruitment targets and team selection > Pricing structure for U16/18s to be reviewed > Regular updates on sale of the Club I might attend some games next season If not am not going at all next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yard Dog Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I was at the protest yesterday. Maybe it was just me and how I was feeling but it l felt a bit subdued compared to the protest earlier in the season. To be expected perhaps with our fate sealed. David Eyres walked past the protest crowd on his way into the club's main entrance and as far as I could see I was the only one who recognised him...until he was spotted by one of the protest speakers. Felt a bit embarrassed that one of our favourite players of the last 20 years didn't get some attention. He looks exactly the same as well - the lad is wearing well.

Very subdued and almost funeral like. Really sad it has come to this. Managed to speak with Eyresy before he went in and he said he didn’t know why he had come to the game. Only came for Shez. Wasn’t impressed with the ownership. He is still running his own football agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protest thing was done in January, as said before can't switch it on and off when it suits and expect to be taken seriously, boycott thing is last throw of the dice but even that looks half hearted. Ultimately people have had best part of two years of being told what to do and who they can see so can understand the weariness, use of terms like regime that suggest we are on a war footing don't help along with the idea that wanting to go and support your team is a bad thing. Those involved in the supporter groups have done plenty of good work and my suggestion to them would be to stick to the background stuff. Cue the replies from the usual suspects accusing me of trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue the replies from the usual suspects accusing me of trolling. ‘Cue the replies from the usual suspects accusing me of trolling’ Here’s the thing @deyres42… the majority of your posts tend to read like trolling, hence the accusations. And I suspect that you know this to be true. As a fan base we hold differing opinions and adopt differing approaches to how we deal with ‘protesting’ against the current owners. This is always the case at any club you look at. You are correct when you talk of a weariness - that is inevitable after years of protest that don’t seem to have improved the situation. As in every walk of life, there are some who take up the baton - the supporter groups have been at the forefront of the protests, bringing our plight to the attention of the nation and yet you write that they should ‘stick to the background stuff’… In my opinion, these groups should be more visible going forward. They should continue to lead the fans protest and continue to hold the current regime (the appropriate term) to account. Abdallah has stated that he is willing to sell.

But I wouldn't blame in the slightest the leaders of those groups from being weary at having put in an awful lot of effort but to be faced with almost constant criticism for not getting everything absolutely right all the time.

If you stand up and speak out then there will inevitably be some who are critical of what you say. I would argue that there is a minority who constantly criticise but also that the vast majority are supportive (and grateful) for what the supporter groups are attempting to do.

In fact regime is a perfectly apt description as it encompasses not only the Chuckle Brothers but Knacker of the Yard and the system of control at the club as well.
