The thing is, it's not hard for him to sell. There's an offer already on the table, so boycotting, not buying season tickets, etc. currently makes zero difference to our saleability, but does hit the current owners pockets. It's flawed logic to say "I'm going to keep putting money in Roland's pocket because it makes our club more attractive to potential buyers". We have a buyer, Roland won't sell. If we hit his pockets hard enough it might change his mind.
There is no offer "on the table".
There isn't even a table and if there was it seems RD doesn't want to sit at it.
I think the club are well aware that in time the fans will start arguing amongst themselves. Some very intelligent and passionate supporters started CARD but unfortunately the dickheads will jump on board. The idiot on the pitch and the idiots whistling will drive others away and the infighting will start. If we let those that started this become the ones who dictate I think it will pick up momentum as the protests become more creative. Ruining people's match day experience will alienate those who probably agree with the basics of the cause. IMO
And calling people "idiots" helps that, does it?
Well, it's my opinion, and it demonstrates what I mean. Can you not see that? In my opinion, they are. But I agree with everything else. Even agreed with then beach balls because it was early on. Leve pitch invasions and whistling to our friends at the New Den.
I get you. I just think calling people idiots isn't helpful when you are talking about people not arguing amongst themselves, because that sort of comment will provoke a reaction. Unless that's what you were intending?
I respect your views - note I haven't called you an idiot for holding your views which you're perfectly entitled to hold - but equally you should respect the views of others, even if you don't agree with them all.
Will you all just SHUT UP I mean that in the nicest possible way. Some of you are really missing the point. Stop arguing amongst yourselves no one here is the enemy. We all have different opinions and are entitled to them. Please stop calling each other names and pulling each other up on posts, draw a line under it and concentrate on what and who is important.
Yes it does matter actually. If people don't want to join in with the protests then that is their choice, but it is a fact that the more people joining in means the bigger the impact.
What I think Sadie is saying is does it matter what people choose to do... A lot of arguments have been caused because some of us walked out, some of us didnt... When at the end of the day we should stop arguing and just let people do what they decide.
Exactly, by arguing amongst ourselves, knowing that the evil ones read these forums we are in a way undoing hard work. We need to concentrate more on the matters at hand and the real enemies and stop worrying about and fighting with those that choose not to get involved.
Ok, yes I do agree. The problem is that it is something we all feel so passionate (and angry) about that it really does become hard to not pass judgment or get wound up by it at times.
I think this is very true Tom. The Valley was a very very intense, passionate and emotional place yesterday. It is still stuck in my head 24hrs on, even after a busy day at work. Its a day me and our lad will always remember.
It is therefore inevitable that people are still a bit hyped/worked up and find it hard to just ignore viewpoints that might be contrary to their own.

Now that's funny. What did you think would happen on this thread?

To be honest ( @Off_it gets me I think) I meant that comment light heartedly and also all in all I never really expected any comments, was expecting to be told to shut up and maybe get the odd smart alek saying "where were you" but apart from that not a lot. I think I've vented and got what I wanted to say off my chest so mission half accomplished.
