    I could wreck your argument with one single post Dutch.

    But I can't. Not on here...

    I do hope it doesn't involve the word 'Crotchless'.

    Given my "argument" is confirmed by posts on here and elsewhere, I doubt that.

    Your replies and likes seem to point to you not really grasping what it is.

    Here's an offer. PM me what you can't post. If it destroys my point as you claim, and I can't argue against it, I'll never mention the **** ups again.

    Seriously, Dutch, your point is made, not everyone will agree with all aspects of it and you constantly repeating it starts to erode it.

    I have changed just two words in what you wrote, to show another way of looking at it.

    The club weren't listening back then, they have never admitted to anything wrong, so it would seem they have learnt nothing at all to date. They certainly are not listening now, far from it, as they are continuing their ridiculous strategy and do not even acknowledge concerns from supporter groups (unless someone can show different?). So who is the Trust supposed to be discussing what with?

    Those folk that your continued complaint is aimed at have admitted their error of judgement, they have resigned positions of influence and those that are now in those positions have taken up the fight and are actively progressing it. In all good faith I think many of us can understand how the previous folk trusted the owners too much and became just another victim of the owners machinations. Any amount of finger pointing and acrimony is not going to change that; it's time to move on.

    The Trust have rolled both issues together, they have not ignored forced movement, but they do see that their best leverage is from focusing more on the lost concessions - that is their decision to make, it is why they were elected - a great many people agree with this, in a very democratic way. If you are so unhappy with the strategy of the club and the Trust (are you a member?) then, perhaps, you might think it appropriate to progress your own constructive campaign, gather like minds and forge something new, instead of constantly seeking to undermine the efforts of other.

    (Just putting tongue in cheek) Or, perhaps, you might ban yourself from this hallowed board for a couple of weeks as a penalty for not moving on when asked - I seem to recall that was your remedy, wasn't it? :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Bickering about which policy is worse - forced seat changes or removal of concessions...

    Aye, it did go over my head. :emoticon-0111-blush

    To be fair, I blame the number of times you've defended posters rather than posts.

    And while we're doing this ^^ the ****s who own us are pissing themselves laughing - we must be the most divided fans in the Football league.

    Meanwhile...back in the land of the protests against the membership scheme, I have a question

    Why will there be no red card protest at the home play off leg?

    The HCST message refers to the last protest being at the away leg tomorrow

    Thank you all in anticipation of a brief cessation of squabbling so someone can answer my query

    Bullshit.
    I'm as honest as the day is long Dutch and it's much easier than some seem to think.

    How many 'likes' do you get from me? Aye loads.

    That's because if I agree with you, or find your post funny, I should say so.

    I'm really not ****ing keen on you saying otherwise.

    Oi!

    Actually now I have two requests

    1. Can everyone stop squabbling until someone has told me why there is no red card protest at the home leg of the play off

    2. In the event of request 1 being complied with, can everyone avoid telling me why there is no red card protest at the home leg of the play off

    Thank you

    For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not answering for the Trust, this is just my opinion:

    The point of the red card protest was to show the owners the widespread dissatisfaction with the new membership scheme. This has been done very successfully, but the point has been made and continuing with it is not going to get the point over to them any more than has been done already (in fact, it's likely that progressively people will get bored and less people will bother).

    The point of doing it once more at Derby, is that it's a televised game that's likely to get big viewing figures and it gets the message out to a wider audience (you could argue that it would make more of an impact done again at the home game, but I'm not sure that Sky will give it much airtime if they've already done it on the Saturday).

    There was never much of a realistic chance of successfully pulling off a similar protest at Wembley and we might not even get there, so it had to stop somewhere and I think it's a perfectly reasonable decision to do it on Saturday and then move on to other things.

    I guess, like people realigning my point or deciding what my "argument" is, it's about perceptions. We can't always get them right.
