  1. Glad you're getting your money's worth.
  2. It sounded contradictory, saying people aren't militant on the whole, but that we should interrupt a match. I mean a group of braver-than-most people will have to find a way of doing it. Little chance of getting a big portion of the thinly spread out crowd involved unfortunately. Maybe if the crowd was more compact and closer to the pitch, bit I cannot see it.
  3. I think people are being a bit naive with their suggestions, instead needing to more consider what is actually likely to have a considerable uptake amongst our fanbase. Hopefully the Trust have access to advice from people in marketing or similar, because a lukewarm protest is probably more counter productive than no protest at all. It's about tactically picking your battles/timing. Which is what makes the next one so awkward. Last night was powerful, but it was crucial to choose an unattractive fixture/kick off time on the back of poor results. A chunk of the stayaways won't have the stomach for missing consecutive games, and a run of half hearted boycotts would mean the 'only interested if it's enmasse' crowd will never boycott again. This would be a wasted opportunity for a future TV game further down the line. Likewise, boycotting the pigs is a nonstarter, there will be too many easy excuses within reach. The other challenge is that people tend to lose interest if things aren't ramped up each time. Leaflets and turning our backs will no longer cut it, yet people are also generally non militant/unobtrusive themselves. Human beings also don't like having to go out their way for things too much, which is why staying away for a match is more popular than sitting in for an hour after fulltime, or marching from the town hall. This Saturday is way too soon to publicise a supporter protest of any sort, but I think significant disruption of a match has to be the next step. This is something the Trust don't want to explicitly call for so I'm not sure where we go now!
  4. A boycott is much more convenient for fans than sitting in a cold Hillsborough stadium until 11pm, and the appetite for such will reflect this. 15,000 missing fans with 90 minutes of sky coverage, or 50 fans huddled on the kop unseen by cameras.
  5. Like it too, just sounds a bit rubbish on our awful speakers. BMTH were formed in Sheffield, and the singer owns the Church bar on edge of Kelham Island.
  6. The black and gold scarves, celebrations, and gutsy performance reminded me today that
  7. Jamal and Ugbo should feel embarrassed.
  8. Omelette and eggs They will be okay.
  9. I wouldn't call Thornbridge a small business
  10. The thing is, unless things are handed to fans on a plate, it will be lacklustre. I took whistles but most wont go out their way to procure something they likely dont already have to hand. And the whole three-way protest thing is messy. Diluted. Better to have 20% of fans consolidated, than 30% of fans protesting in individual ways. Imo.
  11. Also inside with a whistle
  12. So your advice for season ticket holders this calendar year is...what?
  13. Cannot agree. If nobody turned up against Stoke, it proves to DC that the fans hold the power to starve him out. It says we hold the cards. Any lingering thoughts of clinging on could be extinguished in 90 minutes, because showing fans as being willing to miss games, will by extension show him that we're prepared not to renew season tickets.
  14. Did a beer festival in Nottingham yesterday Often wear a retro Wednesday shirt (Bukta 84) to work events, as it's a great conversation starter, and receives alot of attention. Amazing how many Weds fans there are around, and just how respected we are by fans of other clubs in general Anyhow. A fellow owl introduced himself to me during the session, and kindly gave me this sticker Presumably keeps them on his person at all times, which is fair
  15. This. Anyone can promise to make us Florida's number one team etc.
