TOPIC: Protest flag

Should be with me 3-5 days! If anyone wants to take it to Mansfield give me a shout as I cannot make it to that game ! Hopefully have it in the WRE for first home game.

Thatll tell em eh?

You're gonna look a bit daft if the billionaire turns out to be the real deal...

In other words you're not gonna look daft.

Im sure therell be some that think he will.

I suspect the club are in talks with a potential investor who does not have a personal fortune of billion/s but may be worth a £ Billion in property/ investments etc someone like Sir John Hall who may be looking for a toy to amuse himself in retirement. He has made enquiries in the past (watch this space)

I heard the John Hall rumour ages ago from a local builder,he is supposed to be buying land near the motorway junction.

Why don't all the moaners get together and go to the bank and get a loan and buy the club with there own money then let everyone see how they compare.

I would love it if the billionaire happens to come from Finland...he'll love that flag!

Because they wouldn't get enough money. What's your point?

Jn has stepped down and there is only one director that puts money in to keep the club going .yes change is needed but if you honestly think holding a daft flag up is going to bring change or miraculously provide money for the club is a laugh but each to there own eh.i will provide the support the team needs and will await change when the correct custodian comes along with the guarded funds to run the club as a successful business

There's too much going on with that flag I'm afraid. Should really have stuck to one clear message. They'll struggle to read the small text from a distance anyway.

Where did you get it from?

My mate has a printing company in Cardiff so he is doing it for me.

Sorry just trying to make a difference instead of just talking, I am trying to do some action which is a lot more than what some people are doing.

If you have a different opinion on the owners that's fine too.

On design of the flag any suggestions ??

Doubt their eyesight is what it used to be either .

What is the actual size of it?

Well I wanted to go for a massive one but instead had to go for 6ft by 4 ft ! I was going to get a 12ft by 6ft banner but from feedback on here and funds it wasn't worth it.
Sorry CCU. Wasn't all aimed at you.

If it causes a stir or gets people talking then the objective has been achieved.

As long as the gruesome twosome know that we aren't happy and aren't going to stand for their lies any more then it's a job well done. More fans need to make it well known that they aren't happy with the sh1te that's been dished up for two long.

I will still be chanting and backing be lads on the pitch I hope they do us proud this year and actually play for the shirt on their backs.

Again if anyone wants the flag for Mansfield give me a shout ! I have asked for less quotes on the flag (going off feedback on ere)

Honestly, sorry to be negative but youd have been better off painting Nixon out on a old sheet.

You could have just put a letter in the post - your main man has just stepped down remember

Why didn't you do that then?

More the better eh ... Nixons gone remember

Pfft

Err.. I did and got a reply from AJ

Seesaw ! That was aimed at Dancing Bear sorry lad.

none taken!

Its a good effort. My recommendation would be to replace the billionaire line with 'confidentiality', cut the secret bit and just have 'old boys club' and replace the fans of the club one with 'relegation'.

That'll last ages in WRE with the stewards. Be better going in waterworks, also there's far too much going on in the picture

Ooh, it's a good question, what could the answer be:-

A No bank would loan money to buy a football club
B Isn't this pretty much what Lapping tried to do
C Isn't this pretty much what the Trust tried to do
D You can't buy something if the owner(s) refuse to even contemplate selling it
E All of the above.


I agree that a protest flag will make no difference but the answer is not to wait while Nixon and Jenkins continue to destroy the club while announcing superficial changes that, in reality, change absolutely nothing.

Straight to the point and what you actually want to happen

If you put that Nixon would prob sack Suzanne Kidd and claim it was the fans fault had made her position untenable.

johnh007 wrote: you genuinely think Nicon has stepped down? You genuinely think there is a billionaire? I'm not taking the p1ss just curious if there are fans who genuinely believe the club statements.

Mind if there is a billionaire there will be some extremely silly looking posters around these parts

I have never understood the chant "sack the board". They are in charge. Who is going to sack them? !
They are hardly going to sack themselves are they.

Surely the more flags, the more chanting aimed at the directors and the more people who vote with their feet can only help rid the club of these parasites!!

Like the flag. Thank god one person at least is prepared to do something. It’ll give us a base to build on when we all wake up from dreamland and realise nothing’s really changed! ‘Custodians of Failure’ - says it all. Keep up the good work

Well a smashing bit of pedantry and yes they are unlikely to sack themselves, good effort.

bruntonpete wrote: Never understood folk who don't understand the concept of a figure of speech.

"Actively seek new investment with a view to completely stepping down and letting someone else take over the club and never come near it again" just doesn't quite have the same ring to it and wouldn't really fit in a simple chant.

"Taxi for Jenkins"

Still a stupid chant.

bluealf wrote: There will also be some extremely silly looking posters if it turns out there is no billionaire as well...

Personally I really hope there is, and I believe there have been some discussions with an agent... but that doesn't mean there is actually a billionaire interested.

There may well be but they certainly won't look as silly as the naysayers if it is true, especially after all the shite they have typed.

tbh I am in the please be true camp but with a healthy dose of skepticism thrown in

Nixon isn't in charge anymore .

I'm in the sceptical camp, with a hint of hope thrown in.

If you really want to make a message, I would climb up onto the Warwick Road roof during the 1st home game maybe on 80mins (with the Warwick road end singing 'Sack the board, sack the board'). And unfurl the banner over the Carlisle United logo.

That would make news around the country, especially if you fell off

Better???

Simple "CUSTODIANS OVER FAILURE" would do me. No need for owt else, pal.

That roof wouldn't hold the weight of a squirrel never mind a human being. I'd say it's been 90% rust for at least five years.

I definitely think the falling off the Warwick roof has some merit to it.
