Mr X Posted 28 January, 2009 Share Posted 28 January, 2009 I'm thinking I may be there if its going to be organized properly and obviously not involve anything illegal But its really only worth doing if sufficient numbers turn up. Any early indications of numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobM Posted 28 January, 2009 Share Posted 28 January, 2009 There is a huge difference between clicking a button on a website to say you're going, and actually getting up and going to meet a load of strangers to join in. I'd say that you could expect about half the total amount of 'yes' votes to attend, it's always the way with things like this. I sincerely hope there is a decent turn out. Having a small (less than 100) group would discredit the march totally, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 28 January, 2009 Share Posted 28 January, 2009 Five hundred will really be there, with the Echo probably rounding up to a thousand and some people on this forum rounding it up to ten thousand. 500 would be a pretty decent turn out and is a realistic target for the organisers to aim for. Any more is going to be going some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLOTH EARS Posted 28 January, 2009 Share Posted 28 January, 2009 I reckon there will be about 400-500 easily, thats a good enough turnout. If we get beaten you could do the march back to the Bargate with twice as many!!! If you are going to the game and you want Lowe & Wilde out then be there.

I will also shout for Wilde to go. If Crouch is the only option for a new way forward,then so be it.I know hes not perfect,but at least hes a fan,puts SFC high on his list of priorities and is so much better than what we have now. At least he doesnt divide the fanbase as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeg Posted 29 January, 2009 Share Posted 29 January, 2009 don't mean this as silly question, but what is the protest demanding? Lowe step down for Crouch? let me if I may throw this back at you with another question - do you think that this club can continue on its current course with the massive unrest caused by lowe as chairman (thats when he's here of course) and if you do for how long? for my part I would see Leon returning in a caretaker role but with far more importance placed on getting inward investment i.e. go out into the business world home and abroad and positively sell this club rather than sit in a rather aloof fashion waiting for the phone to ring if you have anything to sell in this world you have to promote hard - in todays climate even harder - even then there are no guarantees - but I dont see that happening right now - just some feeble comments like "they know where we are" - a really positive attitude for potential investors - not to see lowe "in action" at the agm was quite an eye opener for all the wrong reasons - I do not want a chairman who has no repect for fans and little respect for the clubs history - I believe he no longer belongs here - he has had his time I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRobbie Posted 29 January, 2009 Share Posted 29 January, 2009 Wonder if Crouch will be there? Personally I'd like to see him at the front of the march, even though he has been part of the problem as the only fan presenting a viable solution at the moment, but it his attendence could be misread as further point-scoring on Wilde and Lowe.
