    Walking away is not on the agenda.

    We are all passionate about our team and want it successful. A strong fan based action aimed at change at the top and appropriate supporter representation in the club going forward.

    suggestions:
    Open letter in the press
    appropriate banners / posters / civilized match day protest at management (not players).
    Letter campaign in the Herald and to FFA

    Certainly open to your ideas. We all have them and we all seem to share the same passion.
    Sorry the abandonment comment was not directed towards your post.

    As to Ideas.
    Message Banner
    Social Media Campaign
    Public rally (much the same as last time)
    Silent protest

    Send an open letter to the club wishing to raise a number of matters for the members sub committee meeting.
    Send it to me, Furns and Jeterpool too, then when/if they don't get it on the agenda we can start making noises.

    Do you not think keeping it "in house" is more likely to keep it silent? We can start here if that is the consensus (and it probably likely stops the club arguing that proper channels were not used for grievance), but I think we need to go public.

    ok, I will draft something and post it here over the next couple of days. I make no claim to being a great writer so I will welcome comments. Perhaps Furns and Jeterpool can tidy it up and incorporate any suggestions for improvement

    Happy to help and represent through the medium I can, as I am sure Gaz and Furns are too. And don't worry about keeping it in house because you all know what is being said and we can verify anything coming out.

    Remember the song we sing before kickoff, everyone. They can never tear us apart. We're in it for the long haul. We may all disagree at times but we're the ones who have to stick together at the end of the day. And I tell you our team needs us more than ever now.

    Yes it is. Membership is on the next agenda. I think the discussion will be around how can you expect people to return this year after the tripe they've witnessed

    Not suggesting to to keep it in house!

    Suggesting we need more fans sending stuff to the club for discussion, and by sending committee members copies of what you submit we can act to keep them honest and not allow them to dictate the agenda.

    Go public too.

    Isn't the whole subject completely nothing to do with the Sub Committee anyway??

    The reasoning behind the need for pitchforks is down to the clubs inability to get their shit sorted anyway


    Flooding their inboxes ain't gonna achieve much as they most likely will bounce as they don't pay the ****ing internet bill anyway.
    Even if they do get through a couple of hundred emails saying they are shit and hopeless ain't gonna change much.

    Protest Rally or protests at the ****ing game. It is a time to vent publically to all and sundry that this is a joke

    Walking away leaves you dead. Just ask Glasgow Rangers.

    Maybe some protest against stubbins at training would help.
