Supporters Group News Rolling Protest Saturday 15/07/23

[Colblue]

Would any Col U fans be welcome? If I can get away from current commitments I would like to support
Don’t want to create any angst though as obviously emotions will be running high

 

[thenobster]

Simon Cox lives within walking distance...

And he's made an offer if help to the players and staff. Fair play to him.

 

[OldWilliam]

There probably isn’t time for it now but perhaps any future organised protests (there needs to be many more) the Trust could write to their counterparts at local clubs inviting their support?
How about making BBC Essex, Anglia news and talk sport aware?

 

[Ramsdenblue]

Just a thought…..

should we be opening this up to much more of a broader audience rather than just SUFC

could we open this up to ALL football fans, fans that feel sympathy of our plight. There is allot of sympathy on social media.

Would it not be great to see colours of other football teams coming to support the fight against rouge owners.

Yes -This should be open to all football fans from all clubs to support us in our plight.

Brighton done this way back in the 90's and their home stand was full of different football shirts from all clubs. all there to show solidarity.

I'm not on social media, but feel the word should go out for their help.

How about doing a leaflet drop to say 100 neighbours. Apologise for the disruption but explain exactly why the protest is happening and what’s and risk.

Don’t know how familiar you are with the location but the residents are not going to take kindly to seeing plebes marching up their quarter mile driveways. They’ll probably set the hired help on you.

Don’t worry though. A large presence of the great unwashed will not go unnoticed and Ron’s neighbours will show their disapproval of him in their own blackballing ways.

 

[brigadista]

Ron and family will probably go out at 9am and return after 9pm… there’ll just be a token security presence at the house.

Imagine being told by fans when you can and can't be in your own home. Sod that. Only thing worse would not being paid for four months.

 

[thenobster]

I am making the 200 mile round trip. Never protested for anything before.
Regarding the weather if it rains take an umbrella. Let’s not be accused of being fair weather fans.
I would love it if we turned up in significant numbers that requires a police presence. That would be more pressure on RM as the police won’t be wanting to resource this.

Then we do it all again another day and another day etc.

Probably better option would be going to whatever social clubs Ron belongs to and doing likewise. He'd hate to be outed amongst his peers. I doubt he cares for his neighbours

 

[Chairman Trigg]

Will our local MPs have the ba*** to show up .Sorry Anna if the term isn't quite right

Too little, too late.. they didn't show much interest before. A minor 'interest' slot just after the weather and the local celebrity slot

Tbf, not a lot of time to change her ministerial diary.. however, they do break up soon. (Not a facetious comment, but is she a regular visitor to Roots Hall or is she in for the votes?)

Reckon Coxy would be a great guest to have along. Not afraid to speak his mind. Have just tagged him on Twitter.

 

[thenobster]

Brighton!!!!! Whatever happened to them…

They had a very wealthy owner/company buy into them.
We got... Rossis? Fred's whelk cafe? Have we approached the owners of Southend Airport as we're going to be practically neighbours

 

[hlane17]

@jphfitz @Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset reckon SUEPA could get some important ex-Shrimpers together to attend tomorrow? Would make a huge statement of SUFC being one big family.

 

[Boreham Blue]

Just a thought, in addition to this is there a large billboard anywhere near his home? I think the campaign by "Led by donkeys" like the image below has been quite powerful and he'd hate seeing his face up on a billboard as kind of a wanted poster ("Con Martin: Wanted for killing Southend United")

I think they also used powerful projectors to project stuff up onto public buildings.

Just a thought....

And if this could be organised, those of us not in the country or able to get there could contribute financially to do our bit.

 

[Target man]

Personally I believe this should be the first of many protests arranged. Every Saturday until he has sold up. It'll soon ramp up. He may hide this weekend but he can't hide on all of them.

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

They're also near bust and looking to sell so I'm not sure we'd want them taking over!

How many Saturdays do you reckon are left? This could be the only one until the NL kick us out

Southend businesses doing well then?

 

[Mad Cyril]

Is anyone willing to climb the water tower opposite to display a banner?

If so I have a Spiderman costume they can borrow but I will need it back afterwards.

We haven't heard the outcome, so we don't know. Certainly, every Saturday until the season starts or we are kicked out. We have to use every minute available while we are breathing.
