beatlesaint Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 I'm not clear what Corbett is hoping to achieve. Surely she can arrange a meeting with the board to discus her concerns given her connections without sitting on a public highway. Perhaps she is showing that for all her family history with SFC she is just a supporter who shares the same views as the rest of us on the march. A woman who was bought up with her father's mantra about not taking anything out of the club that you cannot put back in. Your obsession with slagging Mary Corbett off at every opportunity, for someone who loves to take the moral high ground, is somewhat amusing and perplexing. Its a pity a few more didnt have that same set of standards that Mary had ingrained in her isnt it ? Askham and Lowe to name but two !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La BoIS Saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 Of course there was more near the stadium it was fans going to the match.That was a poor turn-out.No more than last time (400 ? Im being generous) couple that with the superb weather and the cynically timed late start of the walk. I think the brilliant support in the stadium was more of a popular statement. The fans wanted to prove they could get behind the team and had enough of the petty politics and attention seeking from the protest clique. What was "cynically timed" about it. No point getting to the stadium at 2pm and having to wait around before kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La BoIS Saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 the "wotta notte gotta clue" banner makes it all look embarassing he has more points than pearson so far after the same amount of games..(or at least the same) They were printed as a reaction to his Echo comments.

up and away Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 The turnout was definitely down on last time, but still a good number. If fans feel they have to protest, this seems to be a reasonably good format. There does not seem to be that great a carry over into the stadium and it allows fans can get their message across without seriously impacting on the players. The condemnation of Wotte seems a little premature and stupid, but other than that perfectly acceptable. What happened at the Doncaster game was unacceptable, but well done to those participating in not allowing that repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 The front marchers having anti Wotte banners just shows how SOME dont rerally know what they are protesting about.Whose idea was it to block the road??? That will gain the fans no sympathy from the general public who were inconvienienced by it. The media gave it no column iches it seems. A small run of decent results will see the marches go back into a box.Another couple of losses and the marches will grow IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Connor I wouldn't waste my time doing another march, there will be even less people on it and even less media and press coverage, which means it achieves absolutely f*ck all. Also as I predicted, we have such a fickle bunch of fans that there was no sign of a protest after the game, which just fuels Lowe and the board, so when challenged they can say " Well they only ever get p!ssed off when we lose, as soon as we win one game they will be happy again " We have the gheyest, most fickle fans in the world. Yesterday was nice to see us win, but let's not forget that the club is terminally ill, and it is just prolonging the pain.... and Lowe's tenure.

None can tell me why when we played Man u with RL being chairman that there were 32000 people who turned up. Please do not tell me they were Man u fans, as when goals were scored the onlly fans celebrating were in the away section and a few in corporate. If we do well thew fans will retunrn to the uneasy aliance with RL. If he left i doubt it would add more than 1000 to the gate and after yesterday the attendance will rise a tad anyway.

manji Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 What was "cynically timed" about it. No point getting to the stadium at 2pm and having to wait around before kick off. Blatently it was timed later so there would be more fans walking down to the ground (to actually go to the game) and make look like there more marchers.I think the fact that there were no more marchers than last time shows how most thinking fans are wising up to thier agenda.

Saint_clark Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 Nail on the head Clarky, I had to pay for 12 extra staff at Yates out of my own pocket, if the numbers didn't show, I wouldn't get my money back. Protests shouldn't be about opposition, they should all link together, not people taking things personally because someone has come up with a different idea to them. Would you front up £400 only to have lots of kids getting annoyed because their march to the ground might get overshadowed? I have a lot of respect for you if what you say is true. However, the constant jibes at the protest which DID take place (why do you need to state that they are the ugliest bunch of people you've seen?) is completely unnecessary and doesn't do you any good when you are trying to prove your points to someone.

The gates stayed pretty much the same last time he left because the season he was in charge (the famous re-promotion season) the season tickets had mainly already been sold when we were in the Prem. the fact that there was no drop the following season shows what the average supporter thinks of Lowe.

Professor Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 I have long believed that demonstrations are a simplistic reaction by disapointed fans who need someone to blame if their team is not top of the table, and who believe football success is easily obtained by changing the faces running the club. There is a long record in football as a whole that this is just not true. What can change a club is MONEY. Not faces. But if yesterday's demonstration was a revolution by fans, the revolting 500 really need to explain what they would have instead. If Rupert Lowe and Michael Wilde were to resign, and the other board members with them, just who do people think would run the club? Last year's board, without the current members were in exactly the same position at the end of last season, and arguably left an even bigger financial mess that this board has cleared up. The club has DEBTS and limited income, so whoever runs it has to do the best with what they have got. So don't just chant "Lowe Out" - it means nothing - you have to chant for "X or Y" IN! Only there is no X or Y. So the revolting 500 don't even know what they are revolting against, except, like all of us, they want the team to get better results. Yesterday's result against PNE was better. So what next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no reason to lie. I was fully prepared to front up the money, but not when some of the kids were letting their fame go to their heads somewhat and getting bitter about their march being overshadowed. I was just stating that the only thing missing from that march was a convoy of Sunshine buses... just a light-hearted observation.

JFP, I would only hazard a guess that those at the front (Connor included) were trying to respond to Wotte's comments in the press regarding the 'kids protesting'. To many Wotte is guilty by association (btw, I don't believe that he had no impact on Poortvliet during the season..that is bolllox...even what Jan said about him when he left gives a clue that they didn't see eye to eye..). To be honest with you, and I have started numerous threads on this, you could say that the protest against Lowe himself is mis-directed....

I heard no chants against Wotte on the march, during the game or after the game , Did You ? Next you will be saying that the 2 kids who had Real Madrid shirts on ( they were 5 and 7 years old) detracted from the march Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingeletiss Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 This is the sort of racist anti Northern comment we dont need on this board. It was the way you implied that people in the North are not welcome on the basis of their post code. Not only that but you chose a username to suggest that our best player in modern times had a horrible hair disease. Do you write fairy tales for a living...how do you get 'sort of racist anti Northern comment'....out of Do us a favour, stay up North...please. Where was a post code mentioned?? as for my user name...LOL..seen yours my smelly undies friend!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scudamore Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 What is it with some of you that can't get that through your skulls? You can't all be hungover still from last night...if so...duplicate the pints of beer with pints of water when you get in...(almost always works for me ) Sounds like the short route to p:ssing the bed to me...

chi saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 FFS ....rose tinted`s on again...he has won ONE game.... is that what you class as doing ok....easily pleased i reckon Hey, ALWAYS-SCHEIDENFREUD you want to get a grip wee man. Clearly you are a fair weather supporter and that's assuming you actually support Saints, as judging by your comments and tirades one begins to wonder if you are a Poopey boy. You seem to be against any success Saints conjure up, perhaps it goes against your grain and you only really get enjoyment from others ills, hence from now on you shall be known as Scheidenfreud. Iv'e said it before and frankly kind of find it perverse, that some people like your good self seem to get immense satisfaction from Saints troubles and seem genuinely upset when we win, as yesterday. You need to take a look at yourself in that mirror you carry with you and ask if Saints would be better off with or with out your so called support. I think you know the answer! but if your still unsure read some of your recent posts or if needed get someone to read them to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I find it perverse that you and others trot out such lame lines. We've had two threads running for those to register if they want Saints to fail just so we can be rid of Lowe & co, and both threads got a minimal response. I find it strange how you (and others) think that anyone apart from a couple of nutters get any pleasure out of Saints losing, or conversely get upset when we win.

No I do not write fairy tales for a living so sadly no happy ending for the orange haired ugly freckled kid that struggled to get laid. I can try for you if you like?

Another one win bunting hanger....:roll: As for reading my own posts well if you read my post match comments on returning from the game you would know where my feelings lay,its just i don`t wear rose tinted specs and think one win will make everything ok, however IF we go on a winning run and god knows we have to, maybe i will get all excited like you. Maybe we could have further discussions if you paid your fiver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 If people keep protesting like yesterday for Lowe's head he'll go eventually. If people support the team in the ground like yesterday we might stand a slim chance. Keep protesting to remove Lowe - Keep supporting to give his successor a chance in the CCC! Problem is that Saint Robbie, Offix, etc..... you know who you are - have allowed your anti-Lowe attitude to blind you to reality. Some of you give the impression you don't care what happens to the club as long as Lowe goes, whereas surely what matters is the club, not who is chairman. Despite the fantasy by some that Lowe picks the team, takes training, and gives the half-time pep talk, the team is actually run by professional coaches, who also advise on transfers. But you have to claim Lowe does all these things or you can't blame him for everything that goes wrong. I do have to admit that I have no idea why Lowe was prepared to come back to manage the club as he was bound to face abuse and insults. But if he had not, and no action had been taken by Crouch and the other former board members to stabalise the finances, would the club actually be any better off, or might it already be in administration or even out of the League altogether. By all means, if someone better than Lowe and Wilde comes along, lets welcome them, but for now there is no one else, so asking them to go now is like turkeys voting for Christmas.

um pahars Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 why does the club have to be run on a day to day basis by a shareholder ? And one who didn't do a very good job at the end last time around, and one who's probably doing an even worse job this time around??? Because there is no one else out the big, wide world who would be able to do it:rolleyes::smt048:rolleyes::smt048 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does the assumption come from that Crouch was not doing things to address the financial issue? It has been debated on here endlessly that he was the one who came up with the idea of closing the corners...and he has declared on TV (Championship Interview - Swansea) that Barclays and NU were happy with him in charge, so.... Why are you trying to beat him with the irresponsible stick? Jason Euell's contract? No...he voted against that. Lowe and Wilde are clueless.. both are on the ropes and are sitting ducks. Bad luck boys...you FAILED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
