As you say, proper fans.

Know their football.

.. All this meeting for protest ideas is *******s .. Only thing that will work is leaving early and not going at all. I'd struggle not to go if I was in the same situation mind ..

Your supporters sat back. Left it until your club was ****ed. Third Division before you knew it.

Good to hear Bob.

Hopefully this will force the fat **** out.

The difference is that Short has morals that meant he has stepped aside sold up AND paid off the debt accrued on his watch. And their lot still bad mouth him after turning their backs on the club when they were needed to support it, and now they are scampering back league one or not. Pathetic and embarrassing. Them not turning up had nowt to do with Short selling up. Does Ashley have such morals and a bit of integrity? Does he feck.

well who ever you ot get in
(hm hm )
i hope they have money
the bird from the beginning of the year didnt
ash didnt

and they will be handcuffed with a huge amount just to buy it
sorry
these lot have been going for years in some kind of guise

if you want to believe they are doing things behind the scene then so be it

a bunch of footy shirt wearing carers in a room (all 400 of them )and i doubt looking at the pics there is that many can convince ash or the stanbury bird to part with 400 mill

hope you do
but you wont

are you sure the do wasnt organised by the bloke who owns the club/pub for extra wednesday night takings

Instead of deriding the number of supporters attending the meeting (as is your want) why dont you simply applaud their integrity.
Remember Erin Brokowitz (apologies if misspelt) & the odds stacked against her in her quest for what is right against a massive Corporation.. I had the privilege of attending a conference in Manchester at which she was the guest speaker. Ok the purpose of her stance was justice for those injured/diseased - much more important than the cause of the 400 or so.However the point is that the odds were very much stacked against her but look at the outcome.Onwards & upwards & power to the 400 I say !!!!

Good post mate and as a footnote

There were only 300 Spartans

Is a good post.I happen to think for a start 400 is a cracking turnout.

Exactly. Reckon there'll be more as time goes on.

I don’t think Fatty is anywhere near as good as the Persian Army they faced either.

400 Geordies should be enough to sort him out Jammy
