    Just where in the Hell did that come from ?
    Are you condescending enough to think we are all thick, or mentally challenged ?
    Read the various threads and posts ........ Believe me, NOT ONE poster imagines there will be a 'quick fix' !

    FWIW, we on here are well equipped, and recognise any pitfalls, as a joint and united community. We welcome any advice, but not YOUR self assured and proclaimed superiority.

    This is not not a case of 'Either with us, or against us'. But if you don't support what we are trying to achieve, then keep AWAY from any protest / action threads. I personally think many of your posts are beyond insulting, in the way you present them.

    Waste of time and effort................I can remember when just about any posts were made explaining another clubs' woes on C&B the general response from Bradford City fans was "fook 'em". I actually recall saying that one day we might be in the same boat, same response........... "fook 'em".

    Only we can help ourselves.

    Not sure about Charlton and Hull, but I made a point of standing with the Coventry City protesters on the 'hill' at Northampton; other City fans were wearing 'SISU Out' t-shirts.

    Elsewhere, I bought quite a few shares in the fledgling AFC Wimbledon and also contributed to Oldham fans fundraising (when they went into Administration). I always make a point of visiting and talking to the Blackpool fans before our matches there, and even offered to take their Oyston Out flag into the away end when we played there.

    You only have to look at some other Clubs' fundraising pages to see that a lot of contributions come from other teams' supporters.

    So, yes we will get support from fans of other clubs. Not all, maybe not most, but there will be plenty nevertheless.

    Well Dave that's pretty much it, a strategically placed billboard will remind Edin (and others) every day, it's very effective and comparatively cheap.

    The fly by leaves me cold, seen loads, what did they achieve? Not sure there isn't a bit of "look at me" in the whole plan too, wowee an aeroplane! It's just preaching to the converted flying over VP, we want him out & he knows, so what's the point? He'll be glad when it's gone but the billboard will be there the day after.

    I understand your concerns and take them on board , but whats the alternative ?, fans have lost faith in all these false dawns . There is a ground swell that are worried and are reacting in a way they deem suitable . I back them to the hilt provided it's organised and peaceful , i dont want it to give the board / club ammunition to point fingers at any abuse etc .

    Nowt new from me mate, i admire the tenacity of the protest but a banner carrying plane? Come on, i’d rather them give the money to charity than spunk on some cessna towing a daft banner.

    Get it organised then....but as I said on another thread, think once the SOC lads get set up then we need to take ideas from people and have a coordinated campaign and coordinated effort. Start with a fly by, then a billboard campaign, send articles to national press, flypost across the city, boycott games, have a designated walk out at certain times, hand out flyers before games, don't buy merchandise, season tickets etc etc. There is loads that can be done but it needs to start somewhere and Jon was asked to back up his talk and he has done that in fairness to him. But we must coordinate and have a planned campaign in my view.

    We've not progressed with it yet and I can't see it going ahead anyway. I'm yet to see a billboard in Bradford targeted towards a specific individual. Doubt it'll get the thumbs up but we'll have to wait and see.

    As far as I’m aware we have been waiting a response still.

    I see you are not in agreement with what we are trying to achieve That's your personal opinion.. But don't say this won't work that won't work people won't be interested like your some kind of expert on this type of thing.

    If it does come off you can thank us all later.

    I can see your point, but any action HAS to be better than NO action. Look at it this way ........ IF only 10% of people see an action and react positively ........ It's surely better to have 100 actions, rather than just one.

    As the TESCO slogan says - 'Every little helps'. ;)

    You would get that response from most sets of supporters but never say never.
    With what is going on it would be great if another teams fans got in touch with ways of going about things but if not I'm sure there are enough city fans who can make sure we do it to the best of our ability.

    I never gave it a thought, as my 'copy' is as clear as crystal .
    I intend to visit as many Club Forums as I can, and post this message on there.

    Well, tbh how much does it cost to have posters made up and some paste? FA.

    Not that I am advocating raising £100 for a 1000 posters hosted all over Bradford.............

    I am thinking that we would be better off just fly posting, it's easy, costs peanuts, could have "Edin Out" all over Bradford in a week, we don't have to ask permission, don't have to spunk £850 on a moment of "look what we've done".............kids today.:worried:
