Threat to Board members safety means they wont attend southampton game

[Mrk]

This statement is nothing more than an attempt to drive a wedge between fans and damage the legitimacy of the protest planned for this afternoon. The club have also released this knowing the huge damage it could do to the reputation of our fans and club, all in a selfish attempt to retain their jobs and keep the money flowing into their back pockets as they destroy our club.

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.

If it's a real and credible threat, you've got a fair number of cops present, including the Chief Super being able to call in the OSU, so it reeks of being yellow bellies.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The club don't respect the supporters.

 

[Librarian]

They’re only talent was always self preservation

 

[ETID]

News like this will only make the atmosphere more toxic

 

[Streetender1878]

Unreal this. Classic kenwright. Everybody just be peaceful if you are staying in your seat after the match. Show this up for exactly what it is. A smear campaign against the clubs supporters. The same supporters who's total support kept the club in the league last season. Who's support was praised and made the news around the footballing world. I think it shows the true size of the man our chairman is. Disgraceful.

They have probably put the four tickets on StubHub

 

[Thomasc]

upon reflection my original comments were a bit OTT.

Todays news, tomorrows chip paper.

NEA in reality.

 

[blulouie]

Disgusting that they can't attend cos of a few mindless idiots. A very sad day, these fans have brought shame on the club

What fans mate.
Can you share with us ?

 

[atypicalusername]

If there are credible threats then its very brave of the board to not attend considering the criticism they will and have received for making that decision.

Very sad day to be a blue.

 

[ProZ]

They have give Stubbs all four tickets as an olive branch

 

[ETID]

They have probably put the four tickets on StubHub

Can we sell them for the remainder of the season and add it to the transfer kitty

 

[nick_waters]

This reeks of Kenwright's playbook. The next move will be to claim that the new stadium is being jeopardized.

 

[bluesb1970]

It’s a real lie point for the club in many ways. If true, which is possible, then these directors are just people with families. No one should be threatened. But to get to this point during such a precarious point in the season is extremely damaging to our status in the top flight, and as a club. Totally irresponsible from many individuals and groups, and I include the board.

 

[jazzy]

The next statement will be that Lampard and the team won't be turning up as they are worried about the fans reaction to them.

Unbelievable.

Difficult to see how Moshiri could make this mess worse and he's done it twice in 1 week.

Some journos need to grow some and challenge these buffoons
