Havent read a lot ive missed on this thread but the statement is the following if im rite.......

WORRIED ABOUT ARSENAL?

1.) High ticket prices should be reinvested in experienced new signings to improve the squad.

2.) We support the development of youth players, but worry there is an over reliance on youth, at the expense of older professionals whom the youth can learn from.

3.) We respect the social obligations and wider business interests of the PLC, but seek clarity that winning trophies remains the core objective.

VERY VERY GOOD

Well done quartz, 1991, kingjason, us martin and anyone else who worked on the wording, the above I am happy with. Lets get this movement going

would prefer not to discuss this thread with you.

reasons being...i can and have since page 1 been able to see what you're doing.

your own means of protest have won you no allies so you have decided to jump on this bandwagon.problem being,it didnt start as you wanted exactly(ie it was wenger is to blame)

however, you have subtly tried to steer it towards the board the whole time whilst not one mention of the guy refusing to spend the cash.

your signature may aswell say this is a pro-wenger movement as thats what you really mean.

not arguing about it,just think you're trying to be clever about turning it slowly slowly in your own direction because it has much more support than your own 'movement' ever had and at somepoint a crossroads will be reached when the fact the man buying the current crop of shit wearing our shirt that is to blame and everyone else in the movement realises it and you will be on your todd again

if im wrong then good luck to ya
phew,deep breath
You're just full of crap. I'm not going to re-has all this but as i said months go in promoting the petition efofort. "If you are in the Wenger Knows camp you should sign the petition, and if you are in the Wenger Out Camp you should sign the petition.

The reason was simple and its the same now - we don't know why these are decisions are bing made or by who. Our goal is that we make different decisions in these regards, and that was my goal all along.

I support any changes that need to be made that will lead to changes in the lack of investment in the team. I simply don't want us to make the mistake of ignoring a possible reason and thus we end up supporting change for change's sake only. I want to make sure we achiive positive change, whatever is required to achieve it.

If what I am on the record as believing is confirmed to have validtity I am sure we will as a group react to that the same way we would if those on the record as believeing the manager is solely are proven correct. We all united in wanting the problems corrected, so our personal views are irrelevant now.

fair enough.at least you made the points you actually feel without reverting to type.

thats the 1st time ive read one of your posts without thinking you have said all the same words,just in a different order.

what will be will be.lets just hope the be is winning a trophy

If we want to get Wenger's attention, there is a very simple way to do it.

GET TO A RESERVE GAME. PUT UP ONE OF THE GROUP'S BANNERS ON THE EAST TERRACE HOARDING. WENGER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MISS IT FROM WHERE HE SITS IN THE MAIN STAND.

NEXT RESERVE GAME IS TUESDAY 5TH APRIL V SUNDERLAND AT UNDERHILL (BARNET).

Stewarding is woefully poor, and there are no police normally.
great idea frank

this is more like the ideas that originally got me interested.he needs a message aimed at him personally cos i really think he's clueless as to how we feel about him.
then, so would you be if whilst getting beat in a shameful manner by your nearest enemy at home for the 1st time in 17 years all you can hear from the stands is
"arsene,give us a wave
arsene arsene, give us a wave"

failing that, you could always give him a dry slap or chuck one of pat's earings at him
What you got me down as? Some sort of pilchard?

in all seriousness, if you're gonna take more of a front seat in this than i'm all for it.

nothing against quartz and steve who clearly have a way with words but i'd rather a bit more action. never understood a strongly worded letter!! he'd just chuck it in the bin and carry on buffing his diamond encrusted loafers.

im a season ticket holder and am willing to stay in or walk out or whatever(obviously only when we cany mathmatically win it anymore)
just dont like the way others are steering this thing now.
think the reason your original post got such a response was for these reasons
Direct Action is the way changes will be forced. First we need to get a message out there, and garner some support for the Group. Can't be putting the cart before the horse.

If we push the button now, we'll just get blown out of the water. I still stand by my original post though. Doing something at London Colney, the AGM, and now Reserve Games will get us noticed. Nothing we do at the Grove will get us noticed.

THE GROVE IS THE PROBLEM.

Frank I think you are onto somthing here. I am not sure about being unable to do anything at Ashburton Grove but wouild hardly be an expert on that having only been twice.

But I think whatever we do is taking things to a higher level there in terms of scale investment and even risk (legal), so we should start on the smaller scale and see what we are capable of and how much of an affect it can acheive, sort of like playing friendlies before the real matches get underway. We can test our messaging and tactcis ahead of time that way and prepare for a bigger sort of action on match day.

Also we can use handing out the fliers on match day to get a feel for what we can do around and ultimately in the ground - get a read on how security reacts to us out there and things, scout out the best areas for action outside the stadium, and what type of actions would work best. Could even hand out fliers near the car park before trying the banner idea over there, for example.

One last point - what about Highbury House itself? Putting some people outside the offices even on weekdays might get some press too maybe...

Direct Action and Media campaign go hand in hand.

Worth protests at the stadium too.

PM me for details, plans such as this should be by PM (and you have my email.) Not sure Direct Action plans to be discussed on open Forum unless it is a notice of an event that we want spreading to as many people as possible.

We wont be communicating anything on this thread regarding the group from now on. It was made public to early and was really only for the purpose to get advise from you the forum.

Thanks for anyone that helped with the cause.

Plans are underway and once everything is finalised we will let you know.

Its not a surprise, but you should have seen the things that were said about the black scarvers originally!

They've calmed down a bit now, I think its because they assumed it was an anti arsene/arsenal protest.

Interesting nonetheless, some comments from iceman below:

Who is TA.....

Poster known as the arsenal. Got banned because of some racist remarks against the irish I believe though he is now colluding with them on the other forum which is very strange. I wonder if they are aware of his views on their republic

I know you are reading this TA (Arsenal 1991) so please let the good folks of OG know what your views on the Irish were that you were telling thynker the other day
