Anyone know how to set up a website to take money, we could all contribute as I'd imagine it will be expensive.

The focus should be on the club showing more ambition.

Basically they can just say money is available to spend if the manager wants to one more time then and get away with it. Or even if they change the manager if these are their policies all they will have accomplished is changing the manager, not correcting the problem.

Real pressure has to be exerted on the Board because even if I am completely wrong in my beliefs it is ultimately still up to them to rectify the situation - they still own and run the club after all. Either they are content with a manager lacking any ambition whatsoever whatever his motives or he is acting on their own lack of ambition whatever its motives, and either way they are the only ones who can really fix things, whatever is required to do that.
Where do you get off with writing such stuff?

Tell you what.

You carry on with your sluggish campaign to vaporize the board, and everyone else will get on with a realistic focused campaign for better players.
evidence that structure by way of a small committee (say 5) and chairman should be chosen before this becomes too unwieldy. responsibility for delegation, agenda, priorities, etc etc
Kingjayson as chairman, everyone slots in behind :sodomite:
fine to start with (if kingjason agrees) but he will still need dedicated support to cope

And plenty of KY Jelly!!

I was going to suggest we should give a few dedicated, trustworthy people access to the twitter account.

how about coverage in the online gooner fanzine?

Reg Niseth · Post by **Reg Niseth** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 9:21 pm

I've not read through all the pages so apologies if what I suggest has already been mentioned.

1. walkout - seriously who will notice
2. Banner/flag - yep, well first you need to make a collection - they ain't cheap
3. If you get one done - walk it around the ground and then hang it above the Armoury
4. Stay behind - take over a block in the east stand for tv impact or block 1 under the directors box. those that haven't got tickets could still gain access if they're careful.
5. The press - would advise against it to begin with. just look at the chelsea traiing ground protest - one fan turned up and no one took it seriously.
6. Make sure you are united in what you wish to acheive - too thousands of fans of other clubs you may come across as spoilt brats - but then they don't know the full story.

Yeah before some bastard takes the idea.

Make it as a fan page instead. Then we can start something so we can start getting peoples email address's.

If this is going to be succesful, it will take a lot of work. It wont all happen overnight, although it does feel like everything is happening very quickly, eventhough we've only just got started.

A website will be paramount, Facebook and Twitter just wont be enough. We could get a free hosted site or pay for the domain ourselves. Not entirely sure how much it'll cost, but if we a few or all of us chipped in, it'll be fairly cheap to run and maintain.

We need someone to write up a little paragraph, just saying what this is all about. Personally, after reading alot of comments, I think Quartz would be great for this. Something short but puts the campaigns point across.

We can then start to generate followers on both the facebook page and the twitter. Get tweeting the Journo's, John Cross at the mirror is a gooner. Once we've got a bit of an audience, we can really start getting our points across and hopefully the club will see and take note.

Spot on Reg, 5th point key. We musn't rush into anything. If message is unclear and its seen as a wenger out or anti board movement then we'll look a bit stupid if we win a few games or even win the league.

Everything needs to be coordinated, hopefully we could get it all set up for the last game of the season and have a banner the game before, perhaps a protest against fulham etc.

agreed - suggestions to kingjason by tuesday at the latest? to be short-listed and then finalised by friday?

IHH - is it possible/practical to have a sticky to list names backing the cause? (can't underestimate the power of confirmed numbers the club know they're up against)
