It isn't though. Imagining something doesn't make it real.The_President said:
To me, CARD seems like a small number that meet behind the curtains of the local Italian restaurant sending out messages via its 'runners'.WSS said:
Well get to the next meeting and propose your ideas.The_President said:I'm not happy with what CARD has done so far .
We needed to be out of our blocks as quickly as possible to show RD and KM that we are not giving up - and needed to re-double our efforts to show that we are not going away.
This has failed - and we need alternative. more astute and agile methods this season ie......now.
Or go off and do it yourself like you did last time and drum up the support to increase the numbers/impact.3 -

Until people who are unhappy with CARD and think this scum ownership deserve one hell of a lot more bashing actually mobilise and do something (like @The_President actually has done) then we as a fanbase are going to get what we deserve.0

Or maybe it's because those that went to Belgium proved that they don't know what is acceptable and CARD want nothing to do with them.

I wish you every success in whatever further protests you want to organise.

You're entitled to your opinion. CARD considers all the angles and makes it's decisions for right or wrong. If we had announced a major protest in the ground versus Northampton and it failed spectacularly, that would be worse in my opinion. We think about what blows to land and when to land them for best effect.
Nothing's failed yet. This is a long game.

However I was online today thinking of buying my son the new away shirt (he has been a bit down with me working abroad), but I couldn't bring myself to buy him one and give the regime my money. Instead I went over to NFL.com and bought him an Oakland Raiders shirt.1 -

Great post. Had to read it again with the music playing:Off_it said:This just looks like a simple case of people getting their wires crossed and talking at crossed purposes.
Granpa posted the original comment about getting the Old Bill involved. ESL then gave it the old "nobody tells me what to do" but it wasn't him at the shop as he wasn't there. Sarge got told to fuck off by someone outside the shop, but it wasn't ESL (as he wasn't there) but it may or may not have been Granpa or it could've been someone else entirely.
Anyway, there is no libel, nobody's calling the police and nobody's getting a wallop.
Confused? you will be!

They can declare any crowd they like. I'm sure there will be more comps issued and counted regardless. The shortfall of people in the stadium will be apparent and if it's too big a discrepancy it will become another media story.ElfsborgAddick said:

In any case, an official crowd of 8,500 in the league (it may well be more) is a disaster set against the last 20 years.
As for boycotts, none of the ST number, the comps or the away figure are likely to be affected by one. It could only impact on the small proportion buying match tickets, which as above make relatively little difference to the official gate.
Is it really likely that people who have bought an ST in these circumstances are going to stay away because someone else tells them to do so, rather than because they aren't able or can't be bothered to go to a particular game, which already happens.2 -

CARD My struggle this season, the approach isn't working as they need numbers. they also need to listen more to the fan base that they are supposed to represent.
What happened to events like the Woolwich meeting? have one of these every month where people can turn up and voice there opinions.1 -

I am just quoting this again as it deserves to be re-iterated. Pres, your protest was admirable, but thus far has proved as fruitless as the efforts of CARD that you deride.Uboat said:
