Think this more or less makes my mind up that there needs to be a very simple website where people can upload pictures and descriptions of various problems with the stadium. The site could auto-report them to the relevant people and we could then hold the club accountable for sorting them out.

McCarthy, McClean, Brady, Long, Arter, Maguire All the big guns, basically.

I went along to the meeting last night as an interested observer and think I'm probably going to try and get more involved in helping The Magpie Group after hearing what they had to say, but also after just having a few chats here and there with other supporters outside of the group who have been looking for an outlet to go after Ashley. Basically, I was trying to have a wander and chat to some of the older groups of blokes in attendance and the passion they still have to get Ashley out is staggering, although sadly the majority had given up their tickets despite having gone for decades. They still turned up and were keen to go to any and all future protests, though, which is pretty fantastic. The majority I spoke to heard about the meeting via NUFC.com too, so fair play to Biffa and Niall for publicising it - makes a huge difference. At the end of the night I told some of the lads from the group itself that I'd try to see if there was anyone from N-O interested in helping them out, so here I am... Is there anyone on here who didn't/couldn't attend the meeting but would be keen to get more involved? Not necessarily just in protesting/doing anything in and around the city, but helping in other ways? Giving advice/ideas, providing contacts in local businesses who could be useful, helping with online content/social media, etc.? They were also pushing their newsletter, so if you just want to sign up to that you can find it on the top right of this page (and I've added it to the OP as well for ease): https://themagpiegroup.co.uk

I guess we can't afford to worry too much about whether there's a buyer. Personally that's the reason I can't see Ashley going, because he'll always want more than a sensible buyer will be willing to pay. But I suppose the campaign can't afford to worry about that, the job is to make Ashley's life so uncomfortable that he might eventually be more motivated to sell, and therefore the pool of sensible buyers can be bigger. Exactly this, and by definition that is doing something.

Some fair points Benwell, although I do think you’re missing the bigger picture with what the group is trying to do. As an aim at the meeting last night, people seemed to be in general consensus that getting Ashley to get fed up enough to sell the club at a reasonable price is realistic and achievable. At the minute there’s no way he sells unless a truly insane offer gets made, that’s narrowing the pool of people with clout you’re speaking of even further.

Moi! I’ll be there.

I'd like to thank Deadly Derek for my new sig. Great quote.

Under Keegan or Bobby, my word.

It was pre-season still, wasn't it? I'll have to dig the compilation out.

Great stuff, UB.

He's actually scoring a goal every 88/89 minutes this season, so if Rafa would just leave him on the pitch he'd bang 38.

That game today laid bare exactly where we are as a club these days, can’t help but feel dejected. They brought Giroud, Willian and fucking Barkley off the bench Night and day in terms of player quality on the pitch throughout too, especially in terms of technique. The ball was sticking to them like glue. To lose by only one goal is decent, when looking at the bigger picture, but to lose that way and so late was pure They’ll batter a fair few sides this season playing like that.

Finally putting that blazing speed to good use. Sure I saw him venture into the box during open play. Up with this sort of thing.

Will he cross the halfway line now he’s a wing-back?

Aye. Did it a few times last season and got rocked each and every time. “Rocked”

What a fucking cluster. Going to be a long old season.

He was training fine as of Friday. In numerous photos.

Eh?

5-4-1, batten down the hatches.

Yeah, you have to be more wily than just hammering the same link from the same IP/browser/device.

Think a more structured, organised approach with instructions on how to do this (across multiple devices and locations) would go down a storm. VPNs, private browsing, etc. We can eat up their daily budget, meaning they won’t get any/many genuine leads. Also worth checking to see if they advertise on Insta, Facebook, etc.

nice Love this. Chelsea Jersey worked a treat. Didn't for me on mobile, it was just a normal result under Nike and Kitbag's paid ads. Football boots did though. They don’t show 100% of the time.

Football boots is the first thing that’s brought up an ad for me, though this is the first time I’m on mobile. Probably costs them more for mobile users as well.
