Grimesthorpian Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Yes, I know there’s a lockdown, but isn’t it time we as fans did something rather than moan and groan here or on twitter. If they were in the same mess at the Lane, they’d be whanging bricks through the boardroom windows. We had the black balloons a few years back which may not have been much but did get up the chairman’s nose and we need something now to make Chansiri aware of the feelings here. It is OUR club, not his, he’s only the custodian. My worry is that for all the high-running emotions - and for me it’s the worst it’s ever been, right back to the Save Our Owls days - Chansiri is sat in his villa over in Thailand either not having a clue what’s going on or not giving a throw and letting Doyen/Paxiao run things. The club is a basket case from top to bottom: naive chairman, terrible advisors and recruitment policy, no manager (look what McCarthy and Pearson have done at their new clubs) and players that are poor at best and are pissed off because some are being offered new deals and they aren’t. All that is undermined by the uber-dodgy financial situation, I dread to think what will happen if Chansiri goes but holds onto the ground/training ground and then charges a fortune in rent - that’s what happened at Rovrum and it nearly killed them. I can’t think of one positive thing about SWFC right now, not one. So what do we do? Obviously we’re hamstrung by the lockdown but once that is over we need summat like a mass protest outside the ground when there’s a TV game on - remember the fireworks at Cheltenham v City a few weeks back, or borrow the Reverend’s PA and drown the ground in protest noise while someone also mentioned on here a plane banner. Whatever, we can’t just let this go on and allow the club to go down with a whimper. We could be the next Bolton...or Bury. Thoughts? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) When have Blades fans EVER "Whanged" bricks through boardroom windows....I remember Owls fans smashing windows behind The South during one "protest" Its the wrong climate to organise owt..If matches had been attended Ive no doubt there would have been congregations under the South. The Chansiri banner on the Kop would have gone.....But you can only do what you can do. We don't need 3000 down there...Doin' what...?..screaming abuse at the tea lady?

On the face of it, it's simply getting rid of an eyesore. But metaphorically speaking it indicates an end of the fans' support for Chansiri. A parting of the ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughdowd Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Exactly....as a fan base .. we’ve become as soft as s##t .........just like the players..we’ve no bottle ...just watching it all happen ...people would rather be a keyboard warrior than actually protest ..... elephants in the Don ...

When lockdown’s over why don’t we have an Owlstalk convention - great excuse for a ******** up and maybe things aren’t quite so bad (well maybe they are!)

Athelwulf Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The "Hillsborough Tea Party". Actually, baptizing those elephants probably would do the trick. The reason being that such an act would get wide media attention. Fans (especially ours) don't usually do things like that, and such an act is clearly one of desperation. The only thing likely to bring about change is Chansiri losing face publicly. We aren't lone voices crying in the wilderness, even if we think we are. Consider Peterborough United. Our only connection with them is that we're likely to be swapping places with them in a few months. Yet when that club's Chairman says that Chansiri's advisers "want shooting", it just goes to show what people at other clubs must think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start a crowdfunder r just giving page to collect cash for the activities. Maybe give it a more jazzy name and see what happens. If you get no takers it’s a dead end. If it goes well and you get some money then spend it on events you think will work/ raise the profile of the campaign and see what happens. As long as you guarantee to give unspent funds to charity (St Luke’s is a fantastic charity) then your off. I’ll stick £20 in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miffed Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 A petition Get a few thousand signatures and present it to the club via the fans group. Would get media attention too. Get the message from the wider fan base across to the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 The best thing to do is when fans are allowed back to the ground No one turns up It would instantly make headline news on sky sports Unfortunately some people will still go putting up with any old 5h1t because its a 60 year old tradition What's missing one match to make a massive statement Only way Dc will listen is when fans stop putting up with his rubbish and take a stand and remove themselves from the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
