city1983 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Like people did at the end of today? I was expecting a bit more of a reaction from the fans today. Thought it was a pathetic attempt at getting our point across. If Johnson's not gone by Tuesday we only have ourselves to blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Catch 22 though. Fans give LJ abuse, owner says we are not backing the team. Fans support the team for 90 minutes, owner claims the majority of fans are behind LJ. He should have gone 2 months ago, I bet one of the LJ believers on here £50 then he would take us down if he stayed, no wonder he wouldn't take my bet..

Exactly this, even if not during the game! Something before or after needs to happen. About time all these fans need to stop clicking sacked on a poll and get your point across to the club. By all means support the team during the match but people can't keep saying they want him gone then just run home in silence and sit behind their keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldstandrobin Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 The problem is getting everyone to 'sing off the same hymn sheet' I said leaving the West Stand ( cant bring myself to call it anything else at the moment as so b****y angry) that we as supporters are just TOO NICE. Even a stranger replied ' Yes we are, you wouldn't get this anywhere else' I really dont know what we can do unless we do it in Unison AND QUICK.

Not sure why the hold up, sack now work out compensation later should be the approach. Our problem is we are in a deep mess. Some will disagree with me but IMO 2 others have to go; Holden and Pemberton. Holden needs no explanation, Pembo as if he is any good why must 2 managers have ignored him and one actively sought to demote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRed Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 SL has really stuffed this up hasn't he? New stadium at our spiritual home, most expensive squad in our history and he's started to lose the fans through intransigence and another 'jobs for the boys' appointment. The comments about the atmosphere not helping his cause either. I think this shows that we could cope with 'modern football' BS if we were even vaguely successful (correct end of the Championship), hell I fell for it. The problem is we seem to have the plastic feel of the premiership, and the lack of fan engagement whilst heading to Gillingham next season, how does that work? Shocking.

stephenkibby. Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 The thing is it has to be withdraw your support but that goes against everything football fans believe in. You can call for chants and protests, but as long as your still in your seat nothing will change. If the club announce the attendance as 16,000 on Tuesday yet the real figure is 10,000 that would have to set the alarm bells ringing. The thought of this being the norm next season, or even worse, would surly hit home to the owner. As much as not going in our hour of need (again) is so against everything being a supporter is, I fear it's the only action that will have any impact on the Landsdowns .
