Threat to Board members safety means they wont attend southampton game

[Nymzee]

Just don't understand how they can't just sit in one of the exec lounges... no one can get to them before, during and after a game.

The lads who do the security in the box, are all high end security too, not some sted head, who`s been given a ton, to stand their and look hard, to frighten people off.

No one`s getting near them in the Directors Box, verbal abuse highly likely, but no one is getting near them, in the ground, on the way or on the way out.

Exactly this. They've bottled it.

This is a seriously risky gamble by these useless backslapping clowns. Feels like snitching on the fan base to a largely favourable media. Hoping for the silent majority, whoever they are, to back them.

Credible threat to safety, could be Pickford’s goal kicks, only a matter of time before someone’s glasses are smashed

 

[Wat Tyler]

Right out of the Kenwright playbook this one. There'll be plenty of articles being written about how heartbreaking this situation is for Kenwright as we speak. What an absolute stain on our club this man is.

Prentice is probably penning a sonnet to Uncle Cyril’s handlebars as we speak.

They could easily do that. Like I said, they know exactly what they’re doing.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Atmosphere is going to be very very interesting now

 

[Nymzee]

Problem is now any sort of discourse by the fans today during the game will just make this story seem believable.

We're being silenced so as not to add weight to a lie.

Sickener.

Shame if they have actually gotten threats of violence, but if they haven't and they're painting fans as thugs, oooooooh boy

Ditto. If people have made real threats to the board, they're a bunch of bellends. Still, this is reaching farcical levels of embarrassment as a club.

What would it look like? They're saying they can't ensure there's enough police and security present to maintain their safety. What a load of ol' tosh.

A big part of this is will likely be them not wanting to see a hostile crowd, which ultimately is a result of their failings.

 

[jazzy]

Do you know it's almost got to the stage that I'd take relegation to get rid of the current regime and start again.

This club needs an enema.

 

[Neiler]

Need to be very careful today, peaceful protest is a must, blood is up and hot, but the message and points need to be made appropriately and reasonably. The objective has to be the right message conveyed to the media reasonably and not about any antisocial behaviour.

 

[Simo]

Where does this leave us, even if we did want to attract Investors! We're an even worse proposition now. Well done with the club statement, not!

 

[Dykovski200]

Absolute cowards

 

[Rita_Poon]

So, has anyone paid the plane company?

Let's get that air raid siren back and have it earned huh!

"An ever so polite request, would you kindly not destroy this club please, with love and kisses from the supporters"

 

[Tommy.]

I don’t believe a word of it and they’ve just lit the touch paper in an already riled fan base,

Idiots, absolute fluffin idiots.
