Park Life 71 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 You see, for me, that shouldn't be the whole point of the supporters club. Like it or not it's the catalyst for now, in time it will evolve I'm sure. I think everyone is aware what was the catalyst for its inauguration thanks Parky Well it is the 'whole point' for now. Understand? The special needs smiley was never so apt. I've bolded what I said before in case you're struggling with the comprehension bit too. I bow to your strong suit.

JawD 99 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Michael Martin, who organised the first meeting, also stressed the need to carry on the action. He said: “It’s the whole point of this club to pressure Ashley to sell. “We have got to make a stand. If we don’t have the boycott then we haven’t got a campaign.” That statement worries me.

But until this is done and dusted, the NUSC is not a supporters club. Its a club who's only aim is to put pressure on the owner to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once MA has gone my feeling is it will grow out of this phase and evolve into a more 'normal' supporters club. Of course if it doesn't people will lose interest in it.

Or if it doesn't, it wont have a purpose to exist. So the question then would be, the people who are running it now who were focussed on the whole MA thing, do they have in their mind what a true supporters club should be and bring to the fans/club? Or, would it be likely that those involved would change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said: “It’s the whole point of this club to pressure Ashley to sell. “We have got to make a stand. If we don’t have the boycott then we haven’t got a campaign.” Why not turn up and ask them exactly why they're continuing with the boycott I can see from their pathetic press statements why they are. Also, I don't agree with the BNP, but I wouldn't go along to one of their meetings saying, "But really, why DO you want Asians out of the country?" But you see that is where you fall down in your argument, the BNP are an organisation with set objectives we are not. We will always go with what the majority of our members want, that was the whole reason for last night. Not joining because you don't believe in what we're currently saying but then shouting about it on here is rubbish and you know it is. If you'd have come to the meeting you would know that report is not in any way a good representation of the nights discussions. You would also know that other members of the committee including myself put forward differing views and at the end of it we had a democratic vote as to what should happen. Even the result of that vote has not been reported properly. Yes club spokesman Michael Teasdale did say that but it was his personal view in a private meeting and NOT a press statement. Its not rocket science O-N, come to the meetings and make your view heard but don't use the excuse that you don't agree with us as to why you won't go.

Happy Face 29 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 We got the pints in at half time on Tuesday and the bar was heaving. The boycott seems to have dwindled on that front, though I couldn't say how much worse off program and club shop sales are these days. The insistence that Ashley must go is childish petulance if you ask me. In 2 months the transfer window opens, and for the good of the club NUSC are going to have to consider an olive branch being extended to Ashley to send the message that our squad MUST be strengthened if it's going to avoid relegation. If needs be, the pursual of a buyer should go on the back burner until survival is guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying it should be scrapped then? I'm not saying Ashley has to sit in a room and be made to listen, just that the NUSC should publicly show they have the best interest of the club at heart and come up with constructive ideas to move us forward. Continuing to stamp our feet and refusing to budge on Ashley's tenure is strangling the life out of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
