Time for a few of these now. Seems the only way to get it across to the club.

Re: NO to Olympic Stadium banners/flags
Would you still not want to move even if everyone else thought it was a good idea?

Re: NO to Olympic Stadium banners/flags
Nope, don't want anything to do with a sanitised support full of tourists and day trippers.
Day we go there the clubs dead to me.

Re: NO to Olympic Stadium banners/flags
Think the time for protests was right back when we first went for it, but no one could be bothered then or at all the other points in between, what makes you think a significant number are really that bothered now.HarrowInnHammer wrote:Time for a few of these now.

Re: NO to Olympic Stadium banners/flags
It's at the forefront of people's minds and is receiving plenty of media attention at the moment.
This is the time to show that not everyone wants this move.

You're lucky not be addicted to the club. I'm 3rd generation supporter stock and know that wherever the club moves to or whatever it calls itself I shall be powerless to give up my support.HarrowInnHammer wrote:Day we go there the clubs dead to me.
My grandfather started out by watching the Ironworks; obviously he was quickly addicted because he continued his support through a change of name and a change of venue.
So, as I said, you're lucky to be able to switch off your connection with the club so effortlessly.

Doesn't mean I will go along with this and give support to to the move would be hypocritical and spineless.

Sounds like a lot of cutting of nose to spite your face going on here.

'Son'! I assume you are in your seventies in which case I apologise for denigrating someone so venerable.
And clearly senile.

Hardly, how can anyone protest without seeing the full plans? It's been Mrs Peskysoleedo's mantra all along.Hammer110 wrote: Think the time for protests was right back when we first went for it, but no one could be bothered then or at all the other points in between, what makes you think a significant number are really that bothered now.
Re: NO to Olympic Stadium banners/flags
Quite right but there are those against the O/S like HarrowI'llneverstepInnsidethatplaceHammer who are opposed full stop, some of whom claim their numbers are substantial, they should have been protesting since day 1.Denbighammer wrote:Hardly, how can anyone protest without seeing the full plans?

HarrowInn has every right to exercise his opinion on here and at the ground.Hammer110 wrote:Quite right but there are those against the O/S like HarrowI'llneverstepInnsidethatplaceHammer who are opposed full stop, some of whom claim their numbers are substantial, they should have been protesting since day 1.
This whole thing has become a chicken and egg situation. You can't protest (for or against) unless you see the plans. The club won't/can't show the plans until the legal caveats are lifted. Repeat ad nauseum.
As for Harrow's claim of substantial numbers, I would say that he is correct. My parents are BML STH, my best mate's family have a few ST in the Rio and they both report overwhelming scepticism over the OS. Purely anecdotal evidence I'm not saying anything else but I think a large proportion of our fanbase are distrusting of the motives of moving to the OS and are waiting till they see the plans.
