    Luke Goddard leaves the stage

    Stating negative comments causing pressure on him.

    But we expected this.
    Most of the protesters are staying away.
    Just look at the stands - empty.

    I took particular notice of the crowd.
    Most were family groups - so probably obliged to attend.
    At a guess the crowd was generally made up of either those that don’t want to get involved in protests - or those against the Conway Out group.

    Or dare I say it there to support the team Nudger despite having concerns with the ownership. There were many regulars though that were not. There were many protesters there as well with the flyers , one of the early attractions was seeing how many paper aeroplanes managed to land on the airfield 😝

    Things like this can affect personal relationships or even your work life .

    If it's affecting his life he's better off out of it in my opinion .

    That said I appreciate what Luke 's started and wish him all the best .

    What do you mean, is Luke not wanting to be part of this anymore ?. 😕

    Yep - when I said not wanting to get involved in the protests - I suppose I should have added those just to watch the game.

    It’s sad - that he’s decided to step down.
    I’m assuming something has happened today that’s caused this - but I don’t know.

    Everything will be fine now the team have won a game.

    The barrage of abuse Luke G has had poured on him has been totally out of order. I thank him for his efforts in raising the profile of the issues that Conway is responsible for but his own mental health comes first.

    When is the next Supporters Trust meeting to get some real action,

    Yes, haven't you heard SB, all is fine now SB. Not heard owt from Conway though.
    We'll see how fine it is when season ticket renewals take place.
    Well done Luke G for standing up for what you believe in.
    I know a fair few over 50s that are making their protest silently, by not turning up, at the moment Yorkshireborn. You are more than welcome to carry on turning up to the matches; I won't criticise you for that. 😁

    I went to the match yesterday as I always do , as I walked through the bottom car park to approach the ground I expected that I would be offered a poster to hold up at the match which I would have gladly done but there was nobody giving them out, as I got closer to the west stand turnstiles I looked in all directions but could not see any so I went in the ground & hardly saw a sole near me with any so I do not know what happened to the distribution but being a west stander I thought it would have been poignant if we had been able to collectively show our disapproval as to the way we have been treated but alas it never happened , I wondered if the wind & the rain had hampered the distribution plans but I have not heard any reason why there were not any to get hold of .
