Superior Acuña Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) 7 hours ago, Doctor Zaius said: I'd also add that there's never been consistent pressure on Ashley. There's been fuck all movement wholesale aside from a song now and then. Remember the SackPardew campaigns and now this whinging about Bruce. There's consistent collective ire directed at the manager often, never enough at Ashley. Well there was AshleyOut which was big (by our standards) for a bit, and that was built up from SackPardew. Broadly agree that there's little point going for Bruce now. Edited September 18, 2021 by Inferior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 From NUFC.com, pretty much sums up the stadium support and why protests will never work so don't even bother Crowd: 50,407 including 3,000 away fans up in Level 7. This game was played in a strange, almost schizophrenic atmosphere at times - the anti-Bruce chants almost now a default response and only forgotten or replaced by support to the team when action on the field was of the positive variety. As to why this latest attempt at mounting stadium protests failed, it seems obvious to us that the genuine malcontents and militants are no longer paying customers - leaving behind those less prepared or interested in venting their feelings in anything other than cat-calls and boos.

Yet at the same time they refused to even acknowledge the existence of protest groups over the last three or four weeks, with the exception of carrying out their own covid risk assessment one day before the coach trip to london a few weeks ago.

Guest HTT II Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I’ve accepted the Trust for what it is which isn’t and never will be nor ever should be a protest group so I still support them and in @Greg and @Heronwe have two guys in them in particular who I’ve met and they are far from being bluffers, they are die hard toon fans who want what is best for NUFC as a club, as a club in the community and it’s fans, locally and internationally. They will be around long after Ashley and Bruce have gone and will continue to have the club and fans’ back over major issues for as long as they continue and long may they, well done NUST lads and lasses, keep up the good work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the kind words and I'm sure @Greg does too. The important thing is that people become members and vote according to how they wish to be represented by the trust, for me.

Darth Crooks Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) I think people have this perception that our PL status is a given in the short-medium term and that the likes of the Saudistyle takeover is the only instance where the pledge is relevant. I for one don’t want to be in a Sunderland style position where the club is fucked and the fans have no say. All this fiscal responsibility talk counts for shit when we get relegated again in the manner the club is run. The conversations around finances change drastically if we emulate that and I’d be unsurprised if that wasn’t a factor in the pledge’s inception. Still a staggering amount involved but becomes a lot more realistic as a safeguard at that point. Edited September 19, 2021 by Darth Crooks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
