My thoughts so far: The threat of some sort of punitive action by the club if fans protest during games still hangs in the air. I'd like more info on what this might entail. Changing the supporters on the committee after the February meeting seems counter productive if progress is being made, albeit painfully slow progress.
Funny..I saw stewards check plenty of season passes in n4 and n3 coming into seating area and never saw one fan being thrown out for having a kids pass when they should have had an adult one I wouldn't believe one thing the Allams say personally . I stood at end of the isle between n4 and n3 right next to were stewards were checking passes #
The badge was just used as another delaying tactic, to avoid actually dealing with the real issue. The ****s them.
But it wasnt going to be discussed OLM, you told me and you know about these things. People depend on your ITK postings. **** me, I am disappointed in you.
It’s not even three hundred entering in kids passes. People that had the kids passes we’re doing it to reserve a seat in their group, then upgrading to an adult ticket match by match. So in those cases, the Allams got paid twice!
It's clear this call for an amnesty, as many of us said at the time, was purely to stave off any protest when the Queen came. Now that has passed, as they had planned all along, nothing will change. They will keep saying they are looking at this and will look at that, the moment they walk out of the meeting, it will be put in the wastepaper basket, as they probably won't even look at it. ****ing morons.
To the thoroughly decent people wishing to attend the February meeting - don't bother. They've stitched you up like a kipper. The purpose of the February meeting is to announce the date of the April meeting. How so many intelligent people can't see through this is beyond me.
This says it all really , no intention of ever listening to fans , time to move on from these waste of time meetings now
would love to know how the supporters at the meeting replied to Ehab saying he would not be bullied! Like others I feel they are just trying to avoid any more protests with the promise of changing and the threat of what will happen if there are any protests. Again it is a difficult situation because if the team start playing well for our new manager then the supporters in the ground will feel more upbeat. Any protests although justified do tend to affect the atmosphere. Mind you I remember after he made "die if you want to" comment practically the whole of the ground were vocal about it, the same with the red card protest. The problem now is half the ground want to protest and the other half tell them to shut up meaning that it is the divided fans that create the tension and crap atmosphere in those circumstances. (god I am rambling now but sure you get my gist).
Agreed olm and he's also, as I have said before, a ****ing imbecile. If brains were money and trips round the world were 10p he wouldn't have enough to get out of sight.
The £7-14 cost per stand of someone manning that turnstile would be paid for by just preventing one fraud per stand. The London transport system seems to work ok. Bus Oyster card readers make an audible beep when a concession travelcard is swiped. On the tube turnstiles you get an audible and a light alert. I'd like to congratulate the Allams on the success of Operation Salt of the Earth. It takes serious skill to go from being revered by a community to being despised and ending up with a worse legacy than if you'd just stayed on the sidelines.
Well now. Having read the report from the OSC board member who attended, my conclusion is that there are very interesting and significant comments from the owners. In fact I have to say I am more than a little bit surprised that these comments have not had wider reporting yet.
