I can understand Hughton keeping faith with him recently, but he needs to make a decision now. Surley he cant keep playing in the middle, we just get totally over-run. Problem is Guthrie hasnt exactly got a brilliant engine on him either, but he might be better than Nolan until Barton gets fit enough.

No. 12? What relevance does that have.. because Boca do? If anything it should be Level 7. It means the 12th man, I like that idea. Personally I dont like the TU name... it potentially puts some people off and it should be a name that encourages more people to join in the same type of mentality imo. So we would basically be copying the Boro who call themselves The Twe12th Man? Is that right? Wouldnt want to be seen copying Boro like.

and the your support is f***ing s*** one. Who are ya is canny embarrasing like, even if its a canny funny to simply try & get get a reaction.

Maybe its someone writing with the frustration of how one section of the ground sings through-out most of the game, backing the team, and the rest of the ground rarely choose to join in? Maybe as someone who is passionate about Nufc it is bloody annoying that a lot of the supporters are more interested in moaning & groaning at any mistake than encouraging & supporting? Its fair enough you get a condescending impression of that quote, but why pretend that what I've said isnt the case, because it is. And it is ironic that the 'get out of out club song', a song which has been accused of creating a negative atmosphere (which is fair enough if thats your opinion), comes from the only part of the ground that seems to offer susatined positive encouragement through-out the game - with a lot of other fans choosing to go "AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!" when a player isnt being closed down in our half. I never once said anything about the so-called negative atmosphere created from up there, more the fact that there seems to be a holier-than-thou attitude from a lot of folk up there because they sing "get out of our club" and "your support is f***ing s***" a few times during the match. Aye I know you wernt accusing that song of being negative. Thats fair enough, although I would say that if you hear a lot of people saying on here about how good it is at L7 etc than there might well be some frustration behind what they are saying because of what I've just said.

The main problem regarding any negative atmosphere in the ground is the groaning & abuse dished out to our own players as soon as someone isnt closed down, or a pass is mis-placed. I can understand it sometimes when Ameobi is jogging around not looking interested one bit, but not with with every player. I really dont think singing that song has any effect on the players, especially when you consider they hear what I've just said on a regular basis, and personally I dont want Ashley to ever feel like he's accepted back again.

No doubt he will keep repeating "I cant do anything at this club apart from survive, because of th limited budget, this club will always be a small club and people cant expect miracles."... even though its the same club and same limited budget Mark Hughes finished 6th & 8th with, Santa Cruz for 2.5m, shrewd transfer business... so what your saying fat sam is that your not as good a manager as Hughes?

Yes, totally, he is encouraging cheating to everyone watching, to every kid watching the game. Absolutely disgusting, and he is abusing his position in a really scummy manner.

Totally agree.

What utter bollocks. Llambias has already come out and said the money will not go towards transfers. He said there will be little or no transfer kitty in January whatever happens and he would prefer more loan signings. Moat is either badly out of touch with events at SJP or his "bid" was a classic salesman stunt by Ashley to flush out potential bidders. Having read these comments my money is on the latter. Exactly, 500k - 1m a year would "get the right players on the pitch"? Cynical side says he's just been used as a smokescreen, and has been happy to be used that way, you sad, sad man.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_5696881,00.html Thanks for clearing up just what sort of fly-by-night c*** you are too, Barry. What a twat, and how much money would we be getting for naming rights that would supposedly get the right players on the pitch? You seriously think 500k would help make that happen? Patronising bastard, wouldnt rule out that people saying he was serious about buying the club as bollocks, and just someone who agreed to take the heat off ashley.

The feeling against Ashley seemed to get people more pumped up for the game, and have a positive impact, not a negative one. Yes, the atmosphere might have turned a bit if we'd went 1-0 down (something that will happen at some point) - but wouldnt that happen regardless of any protests going on? When we went 1-0 down against Doncaster the crowd were right on the backs of the players, and they got boo'd off at half time, and there were no protests before or during that game - so it seems its very easy to jump to the conlcusion that any negative atmosphere if going 1-0 would be because of protests. Its because a lot of fans kick off at going 1-0 down toa team in this division - end of story. Not saying its impossible for any protests to make some fans less patient in the ground, but its not clear cut as some make out, and some poeple go into the ground less patient simply because they expect us to wipe the floor with every team. We should keep on going with the protests, like I said I think it could actually get people more up for the game, and keep on going with banners etc, hoping to get one made myself.

Ashley has took the piss out of us so he deserves to be ripped to peices & ridiculed. But I can understand why the rapist banner might offend people, and we want as many people on our side (media etc) and against him as possible, so from that point of view it could be counter productive, even if it was funny. Good stuff going to the effort to do something though, to make a banner that big, and we need to keep it up.

From a match report on the posh forum. those fans closest to the away support happen to make the most noise. not exactly a news flash is it ? Loads of people on here get on the backs of those who sit/stand up there and sing, just posting it to show a neaturals pov and they thought the fans in that section were the best home support they've heard. they would. they're right next to them and as ever thats where the banter between fans is. sitting in the gallowgate all i can usually here if "get out of our club" and "your support is f***ing s***". has to be said that at SJP from all parts our variety of songs and humour is crap. It was only 4 years ago L7 was absolutely dead next to the away fans, and the away fans would outsing everyone without single reply the whole game.

if no one takes up his offer it will stay as sportsdirect.com@ and we wont get a penny But when new ownership comes in that will be thrown out straight away. Maybe new owners would keep a brand that is bringing in money however small the amount. I'm probably wrong on that, and it would be changed regardless, but you never know. Also, in a weird way, having it sports direct until hes gone feels more 'unofficial' as oppose to a brand name that orignally had no connection with the club (in as much as sports direct is just symbolic of who the owner is). They would unless a contract had been signed to say the board had to be there for so many years. There you go, good point.

Hopefully the Trust can buy him out in the near future. Yes thats not exactly a forgone conclusion, but hopefully. In the mean time you could say the reasons to act are: a) Not letting him get back into the comfort zone like the last time, the SJP farce deserves a response from a moral point of view. b) To put off any brands thinking of taking the stadium rights.

Stay standing for the first 20minutes (like the save our seats campaign) Protests outside the Milburn reception before the game from 1pm & after the game till 6pm. I can sort of understand people saying "dont have negativity/anomosity in the air before the game, it cant help the atmosphere in the ground", if thats the case, just make sure your there after the game.

Stay behind afterwards.

Before the game from 1pm. After the game till 6pm.

A rational reason to protest? If the papers cover it the next day, with headline of "fans protest over SJP name branding" then at the end of the day, brands who are out there potentially looking at this and thinking about taking up the rights would probably have doubts. Whether those would be massive doubts, a small doubts, whatever, Im sure there would be some doubts there due to fear of the whole thing bieng counter-productive. "Well its going to be sports direct then"... yes, fair enough, but when he is gone, that name is gone. If someone takes over the club, they might not cut off the sponser of another company. Also, in a weird way, having it sports direct until hes gone feels more 'unofficial' as oppose to a brand name that orignally had no connection with the club.
