Anyway I managed to log on briefly and I know I have had a few donations. The Barclays website appears to be creaking as I can't get back on to confirm.
Roland's statement/ rant accused fans of wanting the club relegated. I asked the club what they estimated were the % of fans holding that view. I also asked what % of fans they estimated were dissatisfied. I have today received an answer. The answer , "we do not have specific percentages" no suprise there. I did not expect anything else, I did say estimate. But if they make such statements they must have an idea of how many.
Hi @Davo55 . I've got some more donations for Card in addition to those I've already given you. I'll post the money via a bank transfer to the protest fund.
If we are going to have to raise money over the summer - then how about a crowdfunding campaign. With all of the interest in our protests I'm sure we could spread the word worldwide and if it was easy to donate, fill the fund. Happy to help if needed.

This protest fund has been running like a finely tuned Perkins Diesel Engine, reliably underpinning the campaign, and giving a degree of confidence and certainly credibility to it. It was started in an unfussy way, and framed in a clear and purposeful manner. I salute Davo55, and Curb_It, and also Addicktedtothereds and Henry Irving who also helped the seedcorn of this idea and project. I also salute everybody who has donated whatever amount. It is so admirable the way so many have pitched in, it isn't only Americans who have a 'can do' attitude, in our own organic almost anarchic way it has been possible to shape something impressive. However it is still likely to be a long haul that demands resilience, so I hope contributions continue.
Just to say that we took £419 net revenue for sales of CARD merchandise from the stall yesterday, plus I was given £166.31 in donations - making it another £585.31 for the protest fund. Thanks to all who bought and/or donated.
We will do a full protest fund update covering receipts and expenditure, when Curb_It is back from hols.
I'm back now and I would like thank you all for the great holiday!
Just kidding of course. Once back at work in the morning I'll tot up latest donations. I have checked a few times and have been a good few since away including a few from our generous regular donators. A couple of large ones in the last few days. Thank you all.

LOl! Love the way you say you will tot up the latest donations when you are BACK At WORK!
I know I thought that myself when I read it back. In my defence The spreadsheet is on my work computer. I might take notes later so I can just quickly update the spreadsheet... At lunchtime.

Good on you!
Seriously, you're doing a great job running this fund. I really appreciate your efforts - as I'm sure sure many other people do as well.
Looking like a sustained campaign through the close season is needed. The only realistic target as far as I can see is events at Sparrows Lane, which will be contentious because it will affect players, and the youngsters Roland is planning to exploit.
Now we're relegated is there any reason to not be as destructive as possible?
If you have the first programme of the season have a look at what Katrien said then. I can't see how her position is tenable. Maybe her latest excuse is 'none of all the feck ups are down to me as I was too downright lazy to have done anything you can hold me responsible for'.

Any vacancies at your place? :-)
In fairness though, having had the couple of large ones (and you know how measures are on hols) it might be a few days before the brain will be fully functional again...
I've just done a quick check but have received approx 2,599 since being away that includes the profits from the merchandise. So approx 20,580 has been received into the funds to date. And now will add VP's winnings to that tomorrow. Very generous.

Something BIG before the end of the season I hope!

Would imagine that relegation would have to be a mathematical certainty before she's fired, her being a lawyer. If such a clause were not written into her contract it would be an indication of her incompetence as a lawyer, as well as her qualification to be the CEO of a football club.

So, what you're saying is that you doubt if there's any clause of that nature then....
Based on how quickly Roland has got rid of people on the past, there may not even be a contract for her 'role' ...more likely to be that she is merely on the Staprix payroll.

Or should I say bounce, as in beach and stress balls.
