AGM - Protest

[Witton Warrior]

From what I've seen the organisers have insisted that the protest is intended to be peaceful.

They can intend it to be peaceful all they want, but I bet it won't be.

What do you mean, are you expecting some kind of riot?

There is clearly the potential for some people to take things too far and for the police to get involved. I hope not because if that does happen it becomes the story rather the original intentions.

There is always the potential for people to take things too far whatever the circumstances - should the match be banned because there is a potential for disorder when 25,000 fans gather in one place? Of course not - not acting in case something negative might happen seems pretty extreme in itself - nobody would ever get out of bed...

That's an obvious distortion of the point I made. I was answering the question about there being a riot not passing a view on whether people should do it or not. We all saw from the Baggies game last year, when a celebratory pitch invasion was reported as a return to the dark ages, that these things happen.

Hi Chris - I tried to make sure it didn't look as if I was trying to say that you said that mate as I was trying to make a wider point - sorry if I failed - unfortunately the press will report anything any damned way they want and hang reality

No worries, WW, it isn't the first and won't be the last time I get the wrong end of the stick on here.

When people are angry enough to shout "wanker" at a coach window for fifteen minutes I don't hold out too much hope for a peaceful protest.

It was directly after yet another piss poor performance and result and I'm sure a few beers were taken as well. I doubt if anyone would be that hyped up at an AGM.

No matter what Fox comes out with, does anyone have any faith in him being able to do a decent job and back up his hollow words? He is tainted with failure now too. Still no sign of this ''imminent'' Chairman.

This fixation with a Chairman, unless he can score 20 goals in about 10 matches and keep the same amount of clean sheets, he is going to be no use to us this year.

No fixation, just another example of how incompetent anyone in the hierarchy of the club is. Old Randolph said there were plan A and plan B.

Plan A was to sell the club.
Plan B, in the case of the club not selling was for him to resign his position and employ a new Chairman, in his words, one who could put the time and attention in to the club that he lacks.

He has done neither, again, just empty words. Everything at the club is half hearted at best.

Not this year, but if he (or she) knows what they are doing and can begin to sort out the mess made by others then they will be of great use going forward.

[pbavfckuwait]

But please remember who is going to appoint this Chairman, so even if we get one , he will be a arse licking yes man lackey for Randy, why change his recruitment habits now, so don't hold your breathe on getting David Dean or the like, more like James Dean.

[aj2k77]

The whole place is in shock right now, they've hit panic mode. The season is a disaster and the fans are turning nasty. The pampered players, who have long lived on easy street are getting a backlash and they've shit themselves.

[pbavfckuwait]

Yeah I think you are right AJ, we have bent over and not said a word of protest as they have shafted us good and proper for the last 5 years, now the poor peasants are rising they have not got a clue what to do about it. I believe Garde has given them a ultimatum and they have not got a scooby how to handle it.

What ultimatum do you believe he has given them

It seems there is!

Given a bump as Steve Hollies has requested a seat at the AVST AGM and will be there on Thursday night.

[cheltenhamlion]

As will a couple of patrons and we now have over 150 confirmed attendees from the paid membership. Tomorrow for me will be a long day!

[aj2k77]

Looking forwards to hearing what is brought up at the meeting.
