It is funny how those who are pro-SOC miss the point so often. I don't care whether it is Travel West Midlands, National Express, Bob's Buses or Harry Bleedin' Shaw. I was making a point about the Back the Boys haviing no part in the SOC portfolio of action if it consumes all of Gary's time. I...

I have openly praised Gary for his hard work. I am sure the others deserve their share of priase as well. But if SOC are just going to be another arm of Travel De Courcey and offer cheap coaches then they are not an action group. There is plenty to say as well. They have been holding meetings...

I don't do a 360 mile round trip. When I am not away on business I would suspect I barely even do an 8 mile round trip. Thank you for the insignt. But there are flaws in that plan against what SOC seem to be doing. As I have already mentioned, a Back the Boys event is not a protest action. It...

Then I would be delighted to hear your take on what has been going on at the meetings. It really would be appreciated. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying I am against going to a meeting, it is just I have been asking questions for a while now and so far I have only been met by a brick wall or...

Duffy, thank you for those stats. I agree, a 28% decline is not unreasonable. I would doubt there are many clubs out there increasing their fan base at the moment due to the increase in televised football and the abillity to stream games via the internet for free. I agree, 95% of those stay at...

I am not saying a Back the Boys event isn't a positive one. I would love for every away game to be as well supported as Reading. Gary can seemingly run a very good non-profit coach travel organisation. But Gary admitted running the event consumed all of his time. I had hoped Brinner was his...

Agreed. But would it not be a fantastic gesture from SOC to answer a few questions to develop a rapport? And as you live far away how do you propose you would then find out about the meeting? This forum and GMK and even the SOC website are ideal forums to share information. SOC chooses not to...

How have I been sniping? I have asked very simple questions. And I disagree, some action is not always better than no action. Or do you support SOC protesting at the Olympic games? To be constructive does not mean blindly support. Being constructive is the act of building something better. Do...

Season ticket holder who attends most away games as well. 4 years ago peope were npt chanting SISU OUT. In that period there has been a recession and people have had to choose how to spend their disposible income wisely. It is all well voting with your feet, but it seems rather fickle for them...

OK, so can you speculate to the answers of the questions? As a SOC supporter surely you have some insight? What do you think the benefit of another Back The Boys day will have in removing SISU? How many people turned up to the last meeting? Were you there?

Thanks Jan. Still struggling to see the tangible benefits of being legal but here is the gumf from the website: Why form a Trust? How does it differ from an Independent Supporters' Assocation or supporters' club? We'd categorise the main difference between a Trust and an ISA as being twofold -...

You are here, right now. Yet you don't contain the grey matter to reply to even one of the questions? Do you not see how pathetic that makes your campaign look? You do not engage in any public dialogue, don't relase any statement and just deliver a closed shop policy. Why should someone go to...

Brinner says our crowds were 20,000 on average for the first 10 games when SISU joined. Do you not think these crowds were a result of the hype from a takeover? And Canley, you make a good point about the offers; yes they should have been offered earlier, but SOC actually opposed CCFC offering...

Simple questions for simple people! Why do you choose not to answer any questions about your campaign?

This is typical of the new SOC regime. Simple questions to which you cannot answer. 1) How does another Back the Boys remove SISU? 2) How many people attended your last meeting? There are so many more questions but we'll start with these.

So surely Tim Fisher deserves credit for this?

The Leeds game at home last season had us in the Play Off mix; this season we are relegation fodder. Not exactly a fair comparison. There was a growth in fans when we moved to the Ricoh, since then attendances have been falling anyway. I am not a SISU supporter but I can't see how any other...

What benefits comes from being 'legalised' Jan? It seems you already have access to the club.

Brinner, I fail to see how asking simple questions consitutes as 'abuse'. In fact, Gary flew off the handle on GMK and delivered a tirade of abuse to anyone he percieved as opposing his views. The existing SOC group seems to isolate itself from the fans as there are some serious questions which...

It seems to me people are taking issue with the figure heads of the proposed Trust rather than the concept itself. Is this an accurate assessment?
