    So just over 1% of total ST holders then. Not very reflective of the overall fanbase id say.

    Bullshit on the highest order. Here's some photos (above) that disprove your statement.
    @Loyalbantam@Loyalbantam you are a great fan , no doubt. I have done nearly 40 years watching the City and I hate that I'm stood protesting. There is no easy solution whether that is a letter, protests or being impartial.

    You and I want the same. Success for our club. The means to the end only differ

    Honestly, how many City fans were at VP today. A very senior steward told me there was c500 protesters(counted on request of the club by all accounts)
    I'm guessing around 7k of city supporters turned up today. So that's around 9% of the support base that protested.

    Let's not forget yet another season of league 2 awaits us. 6 seasons of utter shite, I guess I'm less forgiving than some others.

    Tbh steve. All of us fans are the losers in this regression. Whatever your viewpoint is.
    It's horrible the situation we find ourselves in, partly IMO because of Sparks but ultimately Rupp.

    @Loyalbantam@Loyalbantam has his viewpoint which I respect.

    Don't forget today's protest was the START of planned fan action to ensure Rupp keeps his promise made in his letter. Those that don't want any action taken and hope Rupp keeps his word are well within their rights to hold that viewpoint and I for one would not want to have to take part in any further action as that would mean Rupp isn't full of hot air but has substance and action.

    We all want the same outcome. To get out of this khazi league.

    Absolutely RT. I met with the media and the ISG today and I am not wanting unbased expectations but details of progression.
    I've supported the city nearly 40 years and we've had tough times under questionable owners.
    But not wishing any ill on Mr Rupp, his tenure has been horrible. And I can say with certainty that Mr Rupp has had offers , suitable for all parties, but declined.

    With no disrespect @Keefly Bantam@Keefly Bantam , today was very much more than the open letter from Mr Rupp

    Completely agree mate, I'm lucky enough to have had a taste of the premiership and seen championship/old league 1 football in my time following this club but this last generation of fans hasn't. I really don't want this next generation to sit through season after season of utter failure, I'm not like some on here who follow blindly no matter what the weather, i want a club that is a forward thinking and progressive form the sake of that next generation of fans.

    You wouldn't get loads more people in that corner and the mistake of the protest today was not showing the other way into the car park for the protest. The majority of the bigger protest is people voting with they feet and season ticket take up.

    They can ask Sparks at the Supporters Board meeting. Hang on, was it this week when he was in Germany,

    I thought the protest was pretty average to say the least.
    I was not happy with the swearing, there were young children around and the chanting about German bombers and Rupp being a German ##### was wrong and completely devalues the argument in my opinion.
    Most of the ones chanting looked to be 30 and younger.

    The chants of the German Bombers started from some knuckle heads downing cans of lager near the railings on VP.

    Think I must have been just to your right Dave. I do recall somebody to my left taking a number of photos on their phone.

    According to Phillip Ideson of D Mac blog fame, they were chanting for Stefan Rupp to F**k off home. A bit ironic as one of the criticisms of him is that he is always at home and not at Valley Parade.
