150th Anniversary kit/celebrations

[Tomphil2]

The club doesn't belong to the town anymore it just belongs to faceless corporate names thousands of miles away.

The people running it aren't custodians of the club for the town as all before them were they are just installed gravy train riders minding the club for the detached ownership and whoever else is involved.

This is the reason beyond all else the town and whole fanbase aren't behind the club and never will be until something changes. And if they think, which i suspect they do, that all that won't matter if they engage the rapidest growing part of the local community to replace lost fans they are deluded even beyond the wildest realms we already see.

There's only one real cure to all this.

The irony is the only way that growing community would ever even remotely engage with the club is if it achieved something in the pitch, I.e Premier League… which of course will *never* happen under this regime.

So yes, only one cure whatever way you slice it.

You seriously want the Remembrance Day fixture disrupted in this way ? The men who served in the trenches had a courage and a dignity that an idiot like you will never understand.

The cheek of you calling anyone an idiot.

You're merely doing what you always do though in taking the contrary and view so no real surprise there.

It's not so much contrarianism as it is trying to kibosh every major protest idea by poisoning the well. It's a running theme with this poster and certainly raises eyebrows...

Remembrance Day has nothing to do with the football, we honour the fallen pre kick off and wear a poppy on the shirt but it’s not as if the game has any links beyond that.
 

To pretend it would be disrespectful to protest after the ceremonies is clearly arguing in bad faith.

Pretty much. Or watered down to the extent they might as well not bother. As you can see the vast majority have been ignored anyway.

A huge two fingers up to the fans, which is par for the course really.

The follow up meeting to this was in July, not May. By that time Steve Waggott had left so no minutes were ever circulated but a number of the above ideas were completely taken off the table with no discussion. There has been no follow up meetings or even any email correspondence to the committee since.

Who attended from Rovers in the July meeting?

That is spot on Tomphil..never before,(maybe since the 1960 ticket fiasco)has the Club felt so alienated from the fans.

Its a truly horrible feeling and all in our 150th year...it really does feel like a Wake atm!

For the derby game, everyone who goes, to dress in black, like attending a funeral. The cameras would pick that up, and nobody is breaking any laws or admission rules.
