Protests: Straw Poll [Archive]

From a personal perspective, I honestly think the club is hurtling into oblivion and I’m getting angrier by the day. At what point do we, as supporters say, enough is enough and protest our feeling outside the club?

Here’s a straw poll.... how many supporters on here are willing to protest?

I’m not interested in the “what good it will do” argument... we’re well beyond arguing the toss about that and I’m not opening up a debate.

A simple yes or no will suffice.

Re. your first question, "At what point do we, as supporters say, enough is enough and protest our feeling outside the club?", do you think we 'dare' hold off until 10th July? (Not opening a debate, just clarifying question ;) )

Agreed. I'd say give this week as last chance for some kind of genuine clarity to come from the club/AH/IPS or all. On that basis I'm a yes after July 10th.

Swale its not been good enough for many years, l am off on holiday on Friday l am hoping there maybe positive news B4 l go, but l will not be holding my breath.

If we protest it might be a good idea to go to Hardy Towers Bleasby & meet at the Wagon & Horses & charge the Drinks Bill to Hardy Towers, after all what's a few hundred quid more on his debt.

I'm a big yes, sort of agree with the after the 10th of July but if others are turning up before I will support.

Can I ask Banjo why he is a "big NO"? Do you object to people wasting their own time or effort? Its back to the old "its his club and he can do anything he wants with it" discussion.

Unless anyone's got a pile of money under their pillow, it's pointless.
Hardy isn't allowed to give the club away, nobody will pay what he wants and needs.
Who are we actually going to pointlessly shout at on the street corner?

It's beginning to look like the only useful thing that can be done is to contact the people who got the supporters Trust up and running last time, ask their advice and hope we've another gem like like Haydn Green hiding somewhere.

I am livid. Never felt so low as a Notts fans. If I lived in the UK, I'd absolutely be up for it - as long as it's clear we are protesting about the lack of information surrounding the club's future, not relegation and financial issues (as that's all water under the bridge now).

We need to force the club to be open about what's going on.

25-06-2019, 06:34 PM

In June 2009, 93% of the Supporters' Trust members who cast a vote elected to sell the club to Munto Finance, and the vast majority of other non-Trust fans supported that decision at the time, publicly or privately, having grown sick of the financial limitations of fan ownership.

The reasons were entirely understandable, but the fact is that everybody who did so - me included - effectively purchased a ticket for the lottery that is putting your football club (back) in the hands of private ownership, be that an individual or a consortium. It has remained in private ownership ever since.

Private owners have sole control to do what they wish, and the club belongs to them, not the fans. I'm not saying that the alternative would have worked any better, but the reality is you take your chances as to whether private owners deliver you to heaven or hell.

Frigiliana Pie 1

25-06-2019, 06:54 PM

I’d have thought it would be worth waiting for two things before starting any protest movement.

The first would be the outcome of the efforts being made by the local MP. As I understand it, she undertook to seek a meeting with Hardy to obtain as much information as she could about what is happening to the takeover and the club. It might be that she gets nowhere, but surely it’s worth a short wait to see if she makes any progress.

The second is the court hearing on 10 July. If the plea being made to the court goes something like “we need a bit more time for the takeover to go through, but we expect that another 4 weeks will be enough “ , then the court is entitled to start asking some detailed questions this time, rather than accepting a bland assurance - which is what it has seemed to do so far. The replies to these questions, “who?” “Why a further hold up beyond the timescale previously presented?” and “What’s the issue beyond the club’s control?” could be revealing. That’s if the court asks them.

GranthamPie

25-06-2019, 07:43 PM

But still begs the question, what good will a protest do

It will put pressure on the current owner to reveal, who, what, if, when. To be more transparent with the very people who pay their wages. To stop hiding behind fictitious NDAs and SAs consortiums.

To do nothing is no longer an option... either sit on your hands and let the club die or do something about it. Your choice.

Perhaps that’s exactly what the owner wants you to do?

To be honest i really don't care what the owner wants.

I personally think it would have a negative effect, a protest would draw media attention, as always with notts for negative reasons that make us even more of a laughing stock, if we are going into next season as we are and don't fold then that negativity may transfer to whats left of the playing and coaching staff destabilising us even further

The lack of information coming out of the club regarding our future. I think most of us have now accepted that we're a crap non-league club with no money, and that's fine, but as the lifeblood of the club, we expect to be kept in the loop (to the extent legally possible) about what the hell is going on.

This is where I’m at. The club has been up for sale since January. The lack of any form of transparency or openness about a takeover is concerning. If it is indeed true about NDA’s being in place then that is fair enough, but we have heard nothing but snippets and tit bits.

The would be new owners must also realise how much a lack of takeover is impacting on the club and it’s supporters with each passing day.

It’s sad that people are saying they are not bothered and don’t care anymore. We can’t stand by and just let our club die. It’s not the Notts County way. The fans and the club have been through a lot and yes it’s at its lowest ebb. We have 157 years of history at stake here. But like other clubs we can rise again.

If fans want to protest then that is their choice, and I fully sympathise with fans frustrations and anger. It’s growing by the day the longer this saga continues. It’s what the protest is about that needs to be made clear.

I still don't understand why the club accounts have not been published on the Companies House website from June 17 to June 18 as they were due four months ago. So that will mean a fine.

Down here, Brisbane I think, we have had green ferals super glueing themselves to the main roads in the city, to protest the massive planned Adani mine. Indian owned and a hugely unpopular decision by the Qld gov't to give the go ahead.

Notts County Protest.

Date: Saturday 6th July.
Time: From 11am.
Place: Jimmy and Jack statue. Meadow Lane.

Protest to be continued at the Nuneaton game.

We as Notts County supporters need reassurance that our club will be safe after the HMRC hearing on the 10th July.

We are aware administration could be a possibility but we want to know there is still a club and a future for it.

Our grievance isn't towards the club or staff. Our grievance is with regard to the lack of information communicated over the current position and future of the club since being relegated in May

Our main question and fear is over liquidation, which would see the end of our beloved club.

Mr Hardy we ask "Are Notts County safe?"

We ask supporters for a lawful and peaceful protest with no violence or threatening behaviour.

- Please wear Notts shirts/black and white.

- Appropiate banners. E.g. All Notts aren't we!
What would Jimmy Say?

Let's show Alan Hardy, it's history and it's fans are valued and worth it.

ALL NOTTS AREN'T WE!!

You have forgotten that Hardy is a huge fan of Notts - thats why he bought the club and saved in the first place!!. Just bloody wait till things are sorted as they will be very shortly.

You’re getting all worked up again... why? And you seem very sure things will be sorted “very shortly”. Explain

Btw.... we’re doing this... and we’re boycotting and protesting at all games until we get the truth.

How do you expect Notts supporters to be patient when no clarity from official sources is forthcoming.
People who have paid for season tickets are concerned as are most notts supporters, we all feel we deserve to be kept more informed about what's happening.
Why do you believe that it will all be sorted soon?
Do you have inside information or you just an optimist, glass half full etc

Things aren't getting sorted though we know that all the staff haven't been paid and that Tim Bradd has jumped ship it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out why.

Stop burying your head in the sand we pretty much have 13 days left as a football club I guess he can fit his legendary 7-10 days time frame into this again the fact he is saying nothing is worrying I don't expect a 24 hour update but some corporate line would do.

Its no wonder Paragon have gone under if this is how he runs his other business interests.

Exactly, he doesn't support NCFC, if he did he would do the right thing.

How many times does it have to be said that he wasn't? I doubt that before his interest in owning a football club that he'd set foot in Meadow Lane, and if he did it would have only been a handful of times. Doubt that he would have seen Masson, Bradd, & co.

He is a supporter of local football and that is all he has ever said and at that level Eastwood I think was his team.

It was only last year (iirc) that he discovered that Lifeline existed and didn't he then unilaterally change the prize?

Oh, and the only thing he is a huge fan of is Alan Hardy. The rest was supposed to be a means of getting adulation. Worked for a while but it doesn't pay the bills.

Saturday:

Notts County Protest Group
Admin · 4 hrs

Our protest at Meadow Lane this Saturday 6th July from 11am is to show solidarity between the fans and that we care hugely for our club.

We are not willing to step aside and want our voices heard and questions answered.

(1) When will staff and players be paid their June wages which they were due last Friday?

(2) In early March you said the sale of the club could be concluded within a month. In early June you said it was imminent. When will a sale be completed?

(3) Why are you still in talks with a consortium that includes a convicted fraudster Alex May?

(4) Who are the backers behind the South African consortium which you say wants to buy Notts County?

(5) Has there been any correspondence with the FA regarding either of these two groups?

(6) What guarantee can you give the 1,500-plus fans who have already bought season tickets for 2019-20 that they will not be left out of pocket?

(7) Will you be able to pay the minimum £250,000 tax bill which Notts County to the HMRC before the deadline of the court hearing of July 10?

(8) Have you personally, or any company of which you are the sole director, been paid any money by the club in the past four weeks?

(9) If the club is unable to pay the debts it owes, is it currently trading whilst insolvent?

(10) If a sale of the club is not agreed within the next week, would you be willing to place Notts County into administration in order to save the club?

This isn't a witch hunt for a man whose position and ego got the better of him. This is a show of support for a much loved and valued club that deserves a stable and prosperous future.

See you at Meadow Lane this Saturday.

ALL NOTTS AREN'T WE!
