Protest Planned For Saturday?

[K OK]

And it's sentiments? Isn't that the important part?

 

I said I realise the point they were trying to make, but the structure to the lead up of this, and the protest itself was terrible.

[Tommy]

Hilton!!

 

And Tommy, I can read your mind.........don't say it!

 

 

ha ha, i bit ma tongue.

 

Shed Roolz.

[Tommy]

That makes no sense at all. I defend him for not taking the internet seriously, I slate you for doing so. Neep.

 

 

Brotherly love is understandable.

 

But FFS, don't defend the clown.

Ollie is a Dundonian?! Shocker!

Only ever flew o'er Dundee upside doon

[Scarface]

There's a mock coffin with an AFC crest on it and the text "Notice of Impending Death" outside the Music Hall on Union St right now in case anyone's interested. This anything to do with that previous protest?

[K-9]

Looks like coffin lids have been left all over the city tonight with different notes on every one.

On Sunday 18th December 2011, a group of Aberdeen supporters targetted various parts of the city, associated to the history of Aberdeen, to highlight their disgust at the way in which the club has been run by chairman Stewart Milne.

Stand Free

Thing is, compensation paid to these ex managers is a direct result of the fans calling for their heads.

 

 

Anyway, heard a pissed murmur on Friday that a local businessman or two were looking to enter into dialogue with Stewarty Milne about the club.

Pissed up pish or an element of truth ?

[King Street Loon]

Saw a few folk with the Black & Gold bar scarves on on Saturday.

[Foster14]

Will be interesting to see if any of the local media outlets report this tomorrow, and in what manner they report it.

 

Some interesting points in amongst the "notices" anyways...

[zander]

Interesting any word if the press have got hold of these.

[RUL]

Don't know, hopefully it may spur those attending tomorrow to confront the chairman over his running of the club, maybe not.

[muttondressedaslamb]

Fucking hell, hats off to whoever organised this, hopefully it will feature in the media tomorrow.

Tomorrow may prove to be an interesting day indeed.

[Guest]

Interesting stuff.

 

I'm glad this kind of thing has been cranked up a notch even after a positive result yesterday, as much as the Dons winning comes first even a few wins on the bounce wouldn't mean everything is fine again.

 

But for a dive from Pawlett and a glaring miss from Sodje, it would have been far from positive.

 

What's not so positive, is our bank balance.

 

I wholeheartedly support the tact made by the 'coffin protests'. Some of the rhetoric is not strictly true (we will own the new stadium, just that it'll take 30 odd years of a bloody expensive mortgage to get into that position). But that said, do we actually own Pittodrie in the current debt crisis we find ourselves in? We'd need to sell it in order to pay off our loans and interest!

 

I've long been a Milne hater, and can't wait for the day he leaves not only his position, but his poisoned association with my football team. He has effectively, been responsible in some shape or form, for 15 years of dross. I can honestly count two games in that time that I can look back with, with any tangible amount of pride. The win against Copenhagen and the draw against Bayern. But the flipside is too many painful memories than I care to remember. And yes, players and managers alike are solely responsible for what happens out there on the park. But the root cause of all the physiological, emotional and attitude based problems at AFC, have been instilled by one man, and that one man is a well known, dour, negative person and drain on your happiness brain cells.

 

Bring this sort of thing into the limelight. Provide black and white factual information, for which 99% is not open for dispute. Let it be known that Milne is not our saviour, never has been and never will be. Debt manufactured and harnessed under his watch.

 

Please, if there's anyone reading this with any influence over Milne, plead with him to come out and tell us he's leaving as soon as Pittodrie is sold and the work on the new stadium starts. We need him to leave NOW, not in 12, 18 or 24 months time.

Agree with most of that TWL but you can't expect Milne to walk out straight away, needs to be properly planned out, who is going to take over timeline etc

Craig Brown?

[King Street Loon]

Craig Brown?

Yawn.

 

We get it.

Yer nae a fan.

Is it that obvious?......

That's a fair effort it must be said. :applause:

[Dandyesque]

10 out of 10 for effort.

 

Just a shame that some of the information is pants.

 

I also think we've been in a worse state than we are right now at numerous points in the last decade.

 

Milne at least has a plan - and not one that would make Dick Donald turn in his grave, IMHO.

Agreed.

Not that I'm disputing this quote, but can you tell us what you think is pants? I've already stated that we'll own the new stadium, but anything else that caught your eye?

 

For the second paragraph, can you tell me when we were in a worse shape than at present? We're in more debt than we ever have been, have qualified accounts, and have no extended lending facilities past Feb 12. We have a stadium up for sale and to date, no bids. We have a failing team on the park and are as far away from being a decent team to be proud of, than we ever have been. Maybe just my opinion, but I don't think we've been in this sad a state as long as I can recall.

[RUL]

For me this is the worst we've ever been at. I am chuffed we've won our last two games but the standard of football in both games has been embarassing. Brown's right, we've actually played better and lost but even allowing for that, the standard of football that Aberdeen now offer is horrendous.

 

Off the field, our finances are a mess and I am really concerned that the "build it and they will come" approach is going to blow up in our faces with the new stadium. Also, a mortgage which will presumably include interest at a variable rate, when interest rates can only go one way, seems to be the riskiest business move i've ever heard off.

Was heading to the Music Hall last night in Aberdeen and across the road (where the Evening Express shop is) was this 'AFC coffin', tied to the lampost.

 

We were having a laugh inside the Music Hall about it, turned round and in walks Stewart Milne - he must've seen it.

[lethal707]

Was outside Ma Cameron's last night and seen the lads putting one up. Asked what was going on and basically got told we want Milne out. Nice little story on the coffin as well. Made for a good read.

[Mouse]

Brilliant work, credit to the guys who did it, a story for each location too
