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 !!!!
the 400 dont have an alternative
they are shouting into a black hole

if anyone believes there are things going on in the backround these people acant diiscuss they are fools

would you as an investor of say near 1 billion pounds sit and discuss anything with a group of unofficial supporters group
nope

you wouldnt need to any one with half a brain can work out what the fans want
you wouldnt need to jeapordise your negotiations with ash

untill they have a viable alternative they wont get anything

which is why probabaly only a few trned up

400 (if that )look at the photos you wont count above 200 )people in a city of millions of passionate geordies

pathetic really
