Pilchards Posted 22 January, 2009 Share Posted 22 January, 2009 Seriously what is the demonstration in aid of. You want Lowe out? The overall running of the club? The useless manager to be sacked? or is it just to see how many people you can get in the streets of southampton on a saturday! :-) Have an agenda so that I can make a banner up to bring with my children.

hypochondriac Posted 22 January, 2009 Share Posted 22 January, 2009 My impression was that it was a protest against Lowe. We want Lowe out ( and IMO Leon in at least in the interim) then hopefully the rest will follow in due course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser Soze Posted 22 January, 2009 Share Posted 22 January, 2009 Whatever happens can we please cut out the "We want Rupert out" b0ll0cks, lamest thing I have ever heard. Personally I don't think it do any good so I will stay in the pub, fair play to all those who get involved though. Boycotting the game would speak volumes, as would anything that would create utter mayhem, such as a pitch invasion during the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Please lets not forget Wilde as well. He is the architect of the problem, and has the means to bring an end to this issue. He is also less stubborn than old rosey cheeks and so should be a more worthwhile target of the protest.

St Marco Posted 22 January, 2009 Share Posted 22 January, 2009 Think the admins deserve a bit of credit for putting this up. Recently there has naturally been a lot of anger on this forum aimed at those running the club. So maintaining a non biased stance for the website is a smart view. Especially when you think of this forum in years gone by. Organising an official demonstration is the right thing to do. I think it is very clear people such as Bungle who choose to do nothing are in the small minority. If we were above the relegation zone picking up wins both away but more importantly at home then more would agree. It is not some new thing that has all of a sudden gone wrong, we have won only 6 games in 28 all season. The last home win was in september almost 5 months ago. I just fail to see how anyone can look at those stats and feel it is ok. As i said it is not a new thing, not a knee jerk thing. The true fans of this club have done it proud over this season. While suffering they have remained silent in the hope the fortunes will change, that the people running the team and the club sort it out. In the 9 months that the manager and board have been here this club has clearly gone back into the freefall we were in prior to Burley leaving. A freefall that seemed stopped once we survived on the last day of last season. So there will be a lot of people wanting something to happen and being able to all put that energy into one big demonstration rather then lots of little demonstrations is much better. So i will be there and i urge those who feel enough is enough to be there also. The club needs you now more then ever. But once were at the game please get behind the lads, they need us too.

kelkel31 Posted 22 January, 2009 Share Posted 22 January, 2009 kelkel31 will be there(which means 2 of us), but please for the love of god lets make sure we do this legally and peacefully. we are doing this for the right reasons and dont want to screw it up by being overzelus or by allowing idiots to join in just to cause trouble! for my two cents, it should be to remove the entire board of directors, naming all along the way, not just lowe and wilde, with change will come the removal of jp, so lets stick to the board and as i havent seen this is also a boycott then lets get in the stadium, support the boys, get out and start all over again!

Somebody should get in touch with them, im certain Leon would certainly be up for it!! Btw would a poll not be a good idea just to see how many people are actually going to attend from TSW? I know people say they are attending on the facebook group but like the echo pointed out some of them are networked to Australia/NZ so it might not be accurate of how many are going.

PaulSaint Posted 22 January, 2009 Share Posted 22 January, 2009 I emailed Connor to mention my recent funeral idea and whether he wanted to use it, here is his reply: "yer i like your thinking mate. but the second idea (funeral march) is a bit complexed. if anyone can get there hands on a coffin im well up for it. but me and few others organising it have chosen for a simple one until then. but yer message me when you can and we can talk" 1) Do people here think the funeral march and SFC Coffin will have more impact on the media? (full details here). Supporters inside the ground then wear black armbands to visually show the board we want change, this was a good idea from SaintRobbie. 2) Anyone handy with wood or strong cardboard who can make a fake coffin?

beatlesaint Posted 22 January, 2009 Share Posted 22 January, 2009 I will be there. Unfortunately an earlier post says "dont think it will do any good, i will stay in the pub" Well that attitude will not do any good. This is your clubs future FFS, i'm sure you can manage without a pint or two, just this once......have them after the game even. The more that attend the better, the bigger the impact.

I personally think the coffin being carried on the route of this march will attract the media attention through the middle of town on a Saturday lunchtime. If it can be done then it should be bought along to the start of the march at Bargates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nineteen Canteen Posted 22 January, 2009 Share Posted 22 January, 2009 Oh great ,more waste to the tax payer . the polis will be rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of unexpected overtime. I wish there was a better way to protest against lowe but there isnt Judging by the posts so far this march could be either embarrassing in its 'complexed' organisation or attract negative publicity with the coffin idea. 'Yer' organisers can't even seem to confirm a route accept a rough one but presumably they will have to contact the police before they are even allowed to leave the Bargate but at least they would get their message over to the bargain hunters in Primark. Mike suggests stopping on route for a few beers on route which may be a good idea. Mike, the way this is being organised I think they'll be bringing the brewery with them but you've no chance of having a good drink. I suspect half of the turn out won't even know the real issues you are protesting about and knowing the TV people they will pick on one those 'in it for a laugh' types for their reasons for demonstrating, their answers will be the usual uneductaed twoddle and all Saints fans (anti and pro Lowe) will get tarred with the same brush. Like Dragonov suggests there has to be better ways than this and I would be just a bit worried you follow a leader who can't understand a few basic principles to allow him to register with this forum. Into the valley rode the 600......... BTW mods just under 100 posts hardly merits a sticky or popular demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
