the only thing I know is no matter what sports republic do a lot of this forum will complain.

I would think they would be pissed off more than anyone they've missed out on a massive payday and income.

I expect they were pissed off about getting relegated twice as well but that didn't stop them carrying on with the carnage.

Where do SR go from here? I would be getting the legal team to prepare a civil suit against the EFL that, if successful, would cost them tens of millions. We have been railroaded out of a chance to premier league football next season. They have besmirched the good name of SR (ok, steady on!). Sponsors are cautious, the players are cautious all because of some half arsed rule that was draconially imposed with the sub-judice support of a biased team. They need to pay.

Then I would be contacting the FA and finding out what they're going to do. It's unfair for us to be hanging on if they've already decided that Tonda will probably face a ban. Let us know.

I have written to Mr Solak requesting a face to face meeting. He needs to have fans' input. Of course, the chance of him accepting my request is miniscule, but having been on this forum for years and so often seeing posters foresee the inevitable, our voice needs to be heard and SFC needs to be seen to be doing something.

Nope, have genuinely requested a meeting. We can all whinge amongst each other but to meet the decision maker might have more impact. But as stated, the chances of actually being granted a meeting are minimal.

What I will say is that there are many posters on this site that have over the years have consistently made sensible recommendations and yet time and time again, the club does the opposige and makes mistakes. SR, and Dragan in particular, needs to hear our views.

I'm willing to bet you won't get the facetime you are seeking.

Why would he meet you in particular. There's plenty of opportunities to hear fans views if desired.

Dragan came back to me and suggested Wednesday at half two but I can't do it as I'm at the Chiropractors, then he said Thursday at 5pm but I need to pick up my daughter from dance class, then he says 6pm same day - OK this is clearly a guy who doesn't watch Richard Osman's House of Games. No can do.

I've suggested a couple of other times but honestly it's more trouble than its worth pinning this guy down. His priorities are all wrong. No wonder the club is on its arse.

Go on then. Dragan gives you an hour face to face. What are the views and recommendations that you present him with and what actions do you ask him to take?

Do we have the best/latest hand dryers in the toilets?

Can we clean the seats so they look more red, less pink?

Can we increase the variety of flavours of fruit shoots in the family stand?

Must have plain backs on the home shirt!

What capacity should we extend the stadium to? When will the train station open outside?

An hour! The request was for 20 minutes. That's just enough time to make contact, establish a bit of a rapport and to sow a few seeds. The ultimate goal is to give him another channel of advice - one from the fans' perspective.

The chances of him agreeing to a meeting are of course minimal, but as they say, nothing ventured nothing gained.

Good luck, if you do t ask you don’t get

Well Dragon has already flown in to meet me. He asked me for a chat and advice which I was only too happy to offer.  We had a good deep discussion over lunch for around 2 and half hours before I had to leave to attend my next meeting. I can’t say too much for now but i can REVEAL a club meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, watch this space, will say more when I can.

It was a shame you had to leave, you should have stayed on with us. Dragan took us to Spearmint Rhino after you left, it all get a bit messy, Phil passed out in the loo and Sporesey got sparked out by a bouncer.

I knew it was going to end badly when Sibley turns up trying to get into our area flashing his Johnson’s loyalty card, glad the bouncers didn’t let him in.

Problem is that you cant speak for all. Its a business that has to make its own decisions. Suggestions perhaps but if the past is anything to go by, it comes down to moaning about the price of a pint or who supplies the pies

Im not sure the company exists anymore, but who remembers when Rupert Lowe used a london based top PR firm to read posts on Saints forums and send him briefing updates.

That's nice. If you do get the opportunity to meet with Drag, could you ask him from me what does he use to brush his Hampsteads? Which toothpaste? And, electric, or regular style toothbrush? Also, if there's time (as you've only got 20 precious minutes with the geezer), any chance you could ask him where he purchased his syrup?

There were also club employees posting on here heaping gushing praise on the club and chairman both in Lowes time and Corteses time here. Proper weird, insecure behaviour.

Sounds like Fabrice and Russell Martin.
