Hammers United Protests | Who's Going?

[stubbo-admin]

So next Saturday is the first protest with a pre-game march.

Thought a thread to organise within the context of WHO, who's going, anyone that wanted to get slurps before and after etc might be worth doing.

I'll confirm the logistics of things and post them up as well.

We need Swallow and Ramsgate back.

 

Where exactly DID the money raised for the last march go?

This.

You really are a deranged and insane coward hiding behind a keyboard

I’ll be there in spirit, but in Porto physically. 

Enjoy Porto PB. Loved it when I went earlier in the year. I’ll be in Whitstable, not quite as glamorous, so that counts me out too. 

I’ve got mate who visits Whitstable regularly. A nice part of the world. Me and the Scouse one are flying to Barcelona and visiting Andorra as well while we’re in that part of the world. 

In regards to the protests, I’ll be interested in seeing what happens in Glasgow, as Rangers and the ghouls in green and white aren’t happy campers either, to see how they go about it.

I must say, I think FAB and Hammers Utd have organised a compelling case for change. We wont get ownership change, the club and its shares are over valued and Sullivan aint giving up his “golden goose”. The whole issue with the Sullivan, Gold & Brady era, and what is “clear as daylight” now - and why they lied about the stadium, have not invested in the infrastructure and have no long term plan or professional organisation to progress the footballing side - is that it is a distant second in priority to increasing the financial / asset value of West Ham for the owners / shareholders. Sullivan and Brady have done a great job at achieving that. Sullivan’s wealth and that of the shareholders, in terms of asset value,  has materially increased from owning West Ham and moving to the bowl over the last 15 years.  

Sullivan I believe would actually like and wants footballing success ( discount the conf win, it was an unintended highpoint not thru planning and definitely not the stadium move ), and investment in players has actually been half decent.  When we got European monies it was invested in players ( albeit all via future borrowing) but due to the aforementioned lack of long term plans, organisation, infrastructure etc, most of it has been wasted. Recruitment from a footballing and financial standpoint has been nothing short of abject failure. The stadium move also equates to abject failure from an entertainment / fan experience perspective but I would also argue financially too because not owning our own ground has meant we cannot build vast commercial revenues from naming rights and concessions or events like say Spurs, Everton etc do and will.   We are no better off than we were at UP thats the sad truth. We are worse off if assessing from the fan experience perspective.  And take the example of domestic cups,  we were far better at competing in them at UP and for most WH fans they are a priority. Sullivan has spent money on transfers but never really invested to achieve sustained success as its been piecemeal and scattergun bereft of “joined up thinking”.  Long term investment for success has actually been minimal or wasted. Its why we have 3rd rate training facilities, a stadium not fit for purpose ( alterations would take investment and partnering with the LLDC not endless court cases) etc.  Although, to repeat ad infinitum,  even if he and the “spend just enough to keep them quiet” board had  “pushed out the boat” it would likely have been totally wasted and ineffectual.   Like the Mancs have shown, without proper long term planning and infrastructure etc its easy to waste billions.  

So we all need to push hard in the coming months to get them to step down from the day to day running of the club, even if there is an unexpected upturn in form. The media is currently receptive, BS are feeling pressured, there’s never been a better time to launch protests, walk outs etc

Not me I’m afraid.

despite the recent disappointing start to the season, overall I still think we are in good shape.

Fucking laughable!

Clearly a board plant!

Not a plant just a Spurs fan.

Of course we do. On the assumption we want to kill whatever momentum any demonstration has. Not too sure AS really needs another bar in Tenerife, and MM needs a new set of golf clubs.

Best not joyo, especially with your track record with the disabled.

You're forgetting that he's ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SUPER STRAIGHT WITH BELLS ON.

Or maybe he's just straight when they're able-bodied and consent, for raspberry rape he's pliable...

Some of these replies l just can't stand so your right about common ground as basically Oxbore physically can't stand

I'll be whatever you need me to be on here. Enjoy - the world is watching.

Certainly won't be able to march the march - one of the pleasures of getting old - but will try and get to the end-point and get a bit shouty.

I'll push you along in your wheelchair if want to do whole march and bring some ear plugs if you do get too shouty

 

Being pushed in a wheelchair along the route of this march by joyo will be just like being pushed into a mortuary on a trolley by Jimmy Savile.

at least you'll both have a room.

ps... over the years of you two degenerates abusing each other, that was a well funny exchange... looks like Charlie's death wasn't in vain, if you two can find common ground, there's hope.

Just wish I could, but being in another country makes it difficult.

The ones that do go are in my heart and mind, if that helps...

Wow, that was some post. Can you please clarify this good shape incase we all are missing out on something important?
