Big Vince 317 Posted January 12, 2018 Why do you not want her out? Are you saying that you want the Bananarama league or Paulton Rovers on a regular basis in a few years? Because that is what you are going to get mate. Do you want to face treason charges or something?Where is the list with the names? I am desperate to get on it.

hogesar 9,502 Posted January 12, 2018 [quote user=" Badger"][quote user="hogesar"]The problem is its hard for anyone with an ounce of integrity or intelligence to get on board with the Delia Out brigade when the most vocal either wish her dead or claim she''s stuffing thousands from every transfer down the back of her sofa.[/quote]Even more so hogesar, when one has openly proclaimed that he is looking forwards to City going into administration just to gain "revenge" on Delia, and another admits that he has not been to his game since 2005![/quote]It''s a bizarre world but some people need a negative to latch onto to ignore whatever is going on in other areas of life.As for people not attending games - some claim that''s the way to go to really ''stick it to Delia'' because it''ll ''hit her where it hurts'' i.e financially. The reality is all it does is hit the clubs finances, not her own. So are those protesting by not going to games as good fans as those who actually financially, physically and emotionally support the club? The answer is no, they''re not. And if we did get promoted under Delia again, the majority would come back. Which kind of makes their protest a little silly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,655 Posted January 14, 2018 [quote user="Big Vince"][quote user="lappinitup"][quote user="mighty yellow"]How do we get started?[/quote]Simple really.Just organise a meeting of similar minded folk, elect a leader and then work out a plan of action. The possibilities are endless. The "Chase Out" lot didn''t have the luxury of social media and mobile phones so the call to arms should be easy. Don''t think St Andrews would be big enough though, probably have to rent the showground.......[/quote]Okay Mr Keyboard Expert, instead of advising what others should do, what are you going to do about it?[/quote]Having been on holiday last week i am just having a catch up with the Pinkun and this thread caught my eye as having been involved at close quarters back in the day of the Chase campaign if anybody wants any pointers with this campaign just get in touch. Mind you as Lapps has already said there was no social media or mobile phones to rally support 20 odd years ago. It was boots on the ground and nobody was able to hide their identity behind a keyboard. It achieved the aim without all that nonsense so today it should be a walk in the park.

Duncan Edwards 2,188 Posted January 14, 2018 Surely we just need a reputable fan to buy her out? Til has volunteered to front the consortium, now let’s see who’ll pledge what to the fund?I’ll chuck a fiver in to get you started.👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,655 Posted January 15, 2018 Oh well don''t say i did not try to move this campaign along and thanks for the offer Duncan but looks as though you will be able to put that fiver towards getting your own season ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,517 Posted January 15, 2018 It''s simple. Get every season ticket holder to take out a £2000 loan to cover four years season ticket, put the money (£44m) collectively into a fans trust and use it to buy out DS and MJW. With fans in charge of the club, give free season tickets for four years and the money would effectively have been repaid. Result - fans in charge of club at no overall cost to anyone. Bingo. (I''m sure there is a flaw in there somewhere [;)] ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,655 Posted January 15, 2018 The first flaw is that there is already a fans trust Lakey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted January 15, 2018 One massive flaw, where’s the revenue coming from for the next 4yrs?If the £44m is used to pay off Delia and MWJ they have just banked £44m, therefore none of that goes to the club, what will the club survive on for the next 3yrs?!Plus I’m a season ticket holder who is now in debt by £2k, with a loan interest to pay.....Great plan LDC, but it’s a no from me 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,090 Posted January 15, 2018 As a slight aside and a question I don''t know the answer to, what happens say if the club racks up say £20m debt over the few years and the worst happens to DS/MWJ, would nephew Tom inherit that debt? What would happen if he doesn''t want it? Poison chalice? Just wondering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted January 15, 2018 “Assuming your father or uncle has a business, are you suggesting everything he leaves should be left to his employees and his customers rather than you?“A football club would never be left to it’s employees or customers.
