JI, if c) didn’t happen in the first place there’s less chance of a) and b) happening (though there will always be at least one). Would you agree with that?

FAO Wonderful Wharton, thank you for your opening post. You clearly have some inside knowledge of club affairs, and perhaps more than you could let on in the post. I’m sure the majority on here appreciate you were merely dying to give long suffering Iron fans something to look forward to. I hope a bit of abuse won’t put you off any future teasers if you know something good is about to happen. There is a reason why ‘teaser campaigns’ are still widely used in marketing, and it’s not because they’re ‘pointless’. All the best. UTI

What was pointless III was you feeling the need to tell the opening poster to ‘sod off’ when you could have just ignored it if you didn’t like / agree with it. There was nothing harmless or offensive in the post that warranted the abuse. Hope that’s clear for you.
‘Also …. some of them may not be the type to want to rub ‘noses in it’.’ Yep, I’m sure there are Bob Mariner, and indeed the aimable Olly Mariner was posting the other day. Plus we have Two Wrights from Hull and countless others before that. My point was about Cods coming on here rubbing our noses in it during this bleak time. If you’re not going to do that then there shouldn’t be a problem. As for the being able to set up an account jibe, it’s a forum for Iron fans so it’s our prerogative to take the piss out of rivals if we choose. Thanks.

Not sure many will be in favour of allowing Cods on here taking the piss awaywego. Why give them the opportunity to rub our noses in it? If it entertains you seeing them do it on their forum, good for you. I’m happy with the thought of a load of them thinking they’ll just waltz on here with a witty put down, only to be thwarted by having to set up an account. That’s if they’re intelligent enough to be able to set up an account ;)

‘If you know something, tell us.
If not, then sod off.’
No need. Absolutely no need.

UTI99, in my opinion your approach to this issue is dogmatic and would only add fuel to the fire. This is bigger than this particular incident on Saturday and it’s in the club’s best interests to view the situation holistically and take action that reduces the risk of it happening again. In my view that would be to end the contract with the current suppler and tender for a firm that understands crowd control at sporting occasions and would mitigate the real possibility of it happening again. The club can ill afford to lose any more support and goodwill at this time.
I don’t agree with Short’s statement here either:
‘Although not common in this area of operations it was the right option to use as opposed to physical force or heavy handed tactics.’
‘As opposed to physical force or heavy handed tactics’!!?? I wouldn’t like to see what they do deem as physical force or heavy handed tactics! Whatever next?

Are you lot still wasting your time discussing this?
What do you want Swann to do? Talk to interested parties.. oh wait he already is!
If nothing else it’s a display of dissatisfaction. That in itself is something.

It does seem a bit late now for protesting but it’s better than not at all isn’t it? I’d say so.

‘A mere £5k’?! Damn, coffee all over my laptop screen again…

Well hopefully it doesn’t veer off in a doďgy direction.

I agree with 72nd min walkout. It would also be good if there was another ingenious publicity stunt that didn’t break the law aswell.

Just a wind up merchant awaywego, as your last 2 posts demonstrate. They’re not worthy of the time and effort responding to directly. Each to their own eh. Rather mine than yours!

…And that The Fall’s Kicker Conspiracy was mid 80s.

You’re going to organise a protest against a man who has said he is in talks with 3/4 parties about selling the club?
Thick as…. all it will do is put off any potential owners. As Simon Elliott said on Facebook the club have already lost sponsors because of some ‘fans’ actions.
Quite telling how as soon as there is new talk of protests and dissent you suddenly reappear! One could be forgiven for thinking there’s a link. Substitute ‘thick as’ for ‘morons’ maybe?
