Listen up precious. I couldn't give a flying one what you do or do not object to on open forum. As for speculation that is what you clearly did in paragraph two of your reply with your playing games comment. You berate others for not having the courtesy to reply to you and then claim you won't join in speculation concerning what may or may not come up in a future meeting, which by your own admission you do not have an agenda for. This must be some of that out of the box thinking that you mentioned when you first took on your role as inter forum liaison officer(poodle) for the United front of city fans/anti name change protest group/pro heritage community campaign group or whatever the latest incarnation is. Not to speculate on the agenda of this meeting or wishing to debate with your fellow fans strikes me as being ignorant beyond belief. Here is something for others to speculate on if they wish to. Would anyone who is a pass holder attend a meeting with our owner if they thought there was any chance of coming out of the meeting with that pass withdrawn sine die. Another ridiculous suggestion I know, Our owner would never consider such a thing, think of the negative headlines he would get and the sleep he would lose.
Mr Allam cannot "demonstrate the benefits of a name change anymore than the opponents can produce tangible evidence that it will be a fruitless exercise (financially speaking that is) - it is all supposition. What can be demonstrated is that it is against the wishes of the majority of fans and a slight on the long history of the club and the city. Also 1/us lot do not want to come up with an alternative name, we are happy with the one we have got and 2/we do not believe that a name change will add any finances to the club. The finances of the club are best served with continued success and staying in the Premier League, not a load of trendy here today gone tomorrow marketing speak. I suspect Mr Allam will listen carefully to the fans and give the matter a lot of consideration and then announce that the name change will go ahead as planned.
I'm not particularly precious. We have been invited to a meeting with Assem Allam. The agenda for the meeting will be set by him unless he asks us if we want to discuss anything else. We'll know the agenda soon enough so why speculate? I don't speculate on who we're going to get in the transfer window or what I'll get for Christmas. If you think I don't debate with fellow fans than that's up to you. I feel that I've answered most direct questions and made my views known. The answer to the pass holder question, at least for me, is yes.
Miff has the best idea anyone's put forward yet. Forget organised sit outs and badges, keep sending lovely young ladies round to him with the message written on their boobies and their bum cheeks.
