Riot no. Loud, angry protest? Yes. Trouble is, some people are so weak-minded they think staying at home is enough. Their football club has been taken from them, and they stay at home. Sorry, it isn't enough. Not even close.

Yes.

But then they would regard you as weak minded. Sitting at home is not action, it is apathy dressed up as protest. If it were Leeds, I doubt they'd all stay at home doing the garden, they'd be there in numbers making a scene.

Is that not the spoof thing, or is it something else?

Fair enough. It wasn't a binding contract though, that much is clear. Just a headline agreement.

Preston fans were very quiet today. Man for man the quality of the support was very good today, but obviously the number of people there effects the volume level, and you also get those spells of silence where all you can hear are the players and it takes on the feel of a friendly. Was...

And your heroes have one sitting empty. Madness, isn't it?

Why are you responding to a post you haven't read? I clearly said that I have no idea if it is true, but the fact is there has never been a whiff of a denial from ACL or CCC. Why not? They're not exactly averse to releasing angry, finger-pointing statements. My guess, is that there is not a...

no, not really.

I get all that. It's just all this 'self-respect' stuff that grates. People arguing that staying at home is the 'hard' option; for some perhaps, but for many staying at home and not going to games is what they have done for years. For them, it is the EASY option. Agree, we need a coherent...

Love how some think that sitting on their arse at home on matchdays constitutes 'saving the club'. It is apathy, pure and simple. Trying to dress it up as a 'moral' stance is self-indulgent guff. I have much more respect for people like simple_simon who actually try to do something (even if he...

SISU went after the council owned shares, it was opportunism. Taking up the Higgs option would have given them a 50% share in a company that would still have owed the bank £14 million. By paying a bit more and offering to pay off the mortgage they instead would have had 50% of a company that...

You're just guessing. You don't need to, there were only 2000 there, so why do you need to make things up? If you genuinely think there were only 300 more City fans in the main stand than there were Preston fans in the away end you're deluded. Also, City fans were singing throughout the game...

It was 50% of ACL - which 50% has not been made clear, but I suspect it was probably a buy out of the council owned stake which was valued at £14 million in effect. I'm not sure how they were trying to distress ACL - the bank were about for foreclose and they offered to settle the mortgage in...

Indeed. But it is amazing how many people are unaware of this, especially as it has been SISU's biggest gripe the whole time. It many respects, the dispute started then, and what we have seen since is SISU throw their toys so far out of the cot they are half way to Mars by now. SISU were...

Below are quotes from TF. Obviously, the fact he said it doesn't make it true, but he has repeated this many times and has been very specific. If it didn't happen like this, why have ACL and CCC never issued a denial? This what he said: "We made an incredibly generous offer. ACL’s bankers...

They offered that money, it was agreed to and signed by all parties. The council walked away, thus the 'option' to buy the Higgs share was denied them. What should they have done after that? Just interested to know what you would have done after having the rug pulled from under your feet like...

A bit like the headline agreement signed by the council and ACL agreeing to SISUs offer for a 50% stake in ACL? Oh, no, that wasn't a contract was it, so you can renege on them whenever you want. Forgive me. Sorry, couldn't resist.

To give you an idea, this is a comment from a Preston fan: "We were garbage, no idea how we've bagged 4. Would have had no complaints had we lost 4-0, Coventry are lethal on the break." We were outstanding at times today.
