Perhaps not but it may help.Apathy is easy; surely to do nothing should not really be an option?It is the Board which has not issued a response in two months - not just one man.Rainbow Ink have been in touch and kindly offered to print at least 1000 explanatory leaflets for free - a great gesture - and those can be given out before the game.We already have a number of volunteers willing to help give out the leaflets but some more are needed -if you can help PLEASE message me.As fans can we not pull together for one minute in one game to show the Board we will not be ignored?On another matter, thanks to more 260 supporters who have completed the on line survey within 24 hours of it going "on line " ! The committee of KFCSA made the decision on the form that Sunday's protest should take. Could I ask what steps the committee took to gauge the feeling of supporters prior to making that decision ? I realise that it is impossible to canvas all supporters but through the comments in this thread there appears to be dissatisfaction with the softly-softly approach which has achieved little. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinger Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Just picked up on this turning our back at Sundays game. With the cameras in the East Stand, action taking place in the Frank Beattie stand is all that will be on view. Its the board we want to embarrass, so a better tactic would be for everyone in the Frank Beattie stand to FACE the directors box and unite in the WE WANT JOHNSTON OUT chant for 60 seconds. Additional back up vocals from East Stand would add volume. The coward won't be there anyhow but it might strike home to the two current caretakers of our football club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 In light of today's events will the protest be going ahead? Just thinking will the managerial vacancy take people's attention and focus away from the planned protest? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie alan Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Yes it should there is more this than meets the eye. Something has happened behind the scenes. We all know he wanted back down south something has clearly happened to make it happen . Am not convinced it was just not purely down to him alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bury haven't had a manager since November and had appointed a caretaker until the end of the season. For some reason, they have taken a shine to Clark and come in for him now. The only surprise is the alacrity with which he has jumped at the chance. But without the intervention of Bury I think it would have been Business As Usual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Does fact MJ was on hand and did all the interviews today confirm that he is still the one who calls the shots at RP and is Chairman in all but an official name? How many other club "secretary's " would do media work for the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Whilst I was completely dismissive of the " turn your back on the board" protest I now think it would be a great idea as the way Aberdeen are playing tonight the KFCSA should now make it last for ninety minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonbon19 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 The narrow focus on MJ as the perpetrator of all our ills , whether accurate or not , is one reason why the media only pay lip service to any planned protests . MJ as the vilified party has been done to death. Media outlets want new stories and the MJ angle is old hat and let's be honest the efforts so far have resulted in nothing more than other fans derision at him and more worryingly at our club ,and him remaining on the board Fake news is all the rage implications of impropriety at boardroom level ? Double book keeping at the hotel? Dodgy land deals ? Misuse of club funds and equipment ? All 3 members of the board should be targeted why just MJ who we know to have skin thicker than an A*r fans benefit book ? Lets see if the other 2 have the stomach for it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty1998 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Not been on forums for a wee while. probably to late to arrange for this weekend, how about MJ t shirt ( full name so no mistaking on front, and some items from the naughty list on the back. (( Copyright monty1998 just in case ))). with pig mask waving wads of in our case fake cash , in frank Beattie stand in front of directors box. Probably around 20 folk enough to make it visible.

I'm in the Frank Beattie stand along from the Directors box. Where I am I'm pretty sure from previous attempts that about half the support near me won't take part. They don't get involved in yellow and blue scarves(I've had dirty looks/comments in the past when wearing one) and don't get involved in any anti-MJ chants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft as it may seem, this is exactly the kind of approach which is needed. You are not going to get everyone to join in the protests, so think out of the box a bit and do things which do not need everyone to participate. Do something which is within the law, but newsworthy and will make people take notice, whether they agree or not. There is no chance of a protest's potential 'failure' if you don't leave any room for it. Think of the fans' protests which have made the news, ones by clubs that you previously paid no attention to, you remember them why? There is no need to copy what they do, but it makes sense to take the same approach and come up with something unique and individual to us which is not only perfectly achievable, but will highlight the cause and catch the media's attention. It's something I'd like to put time into myself but I am totally swamped with Trust and website stuff at the moment...and yes I do appreciate that if we don't solve this problem that there might be no club, Trust or website, but these things don't do themselves and I'm happy to chip in when the time comes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOT KFC Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 http://bit.ly/2lmiz43 Looks like it's not happening now. In a way I agree but we still need to put the pressure on the board and get the message on the TV. Can we not have a group to meet in the FB stand to sit in front of directors box and pile on the pressure? Obviously still get behind the team too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 It's a good way for KFCSA to get out of a dumb idea for a protest. I don't see why a one minute protest detracts from fans getting behind the team. McCulloch, Leven, and the players know exactly who the protests are aimed at. The young guys at the Hamilton game had it completely right, they got behind the players and the manager, and still managed to have a go at Johnston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candygram for mongo Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Why don't you all walk in backwards; wear your scarfs upside down; your underpants over your trousers; buy a refreshment but don't drink it; sit down an watch the match with your eyes shut; play pass the parcel at half time and sing Paper Roses in French? I feel sure this would be a statement no-one could possibly ignore! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
