Parlaci Gino

I just believe if we get fobbed off a new group of anti Gino will harden. He can't win if he doesn't do something drastically different.

If they straight bat everything again I doubt there is an appetite to accept it especially if there is no success to hide the general craziness of his ownership

 

Sounds like actions of a club that are really open to scrutiny…

 

That's ludicrous.

We should all be unfurling that banner. Kick us all out.

 

Exactly what I said this campaign should have been - a huge banner, made of the same material as previous banners that the club approved. And no one would be in any doubts that it’s the messaging the club are stifling and don’t give them the excuse of ‘it’s flammable/blocks peoples view’ etc.

But people seem more bothered about getting podcasts together to ask tame questions and allowing Gino and Co to kick the can another few years down the road.

 

Very very poor of the club to eject fans for holding up banners. I am sure there's a clause somewhere in the T&Cs about banners and other objects but the club didn't mind when the banners were of Pozzo's big face and the message was 'Watford Loves You More Than You Will Know.'

Bottom line – if the banners are civil and not profane there's no legitimate reason to shuffle a supporter out of the ground for having one.

If he can't take the rough with the smooth it speaks much, much louder than any words Pozzo could possibly say to the fans now. Basically any dissent is quashed, any protest silenced. Sorry, pal, it's not actually your club. You're just looking after it for a while. And when things go bad, we reserve the right to tell you.

 

Well go on then Mr Leader. Lead the banner campaign then........

Oh....

 

Are all of our podcasters ok? They are the ones that matter.

 

Absolutely stupid move by the Club. Now there will be more banners.

 

You and Burnsy et all are firing digs at podcasts after a 3 1 home loss to Huddersfield.....

 

3-2 mate, didn’t you go?

 

Clearly have been told.

As someone else pointed out, the extra security gather around the pitch in advance of the FT whistle. Clearly fearful fans would storm the pitch. Gino has lost it.

 

Oh what? I’ve never once suggested I have built up a following enough to get a plan off the ground like you’re suggesting. But I’ve been civil enough with the people who are about how I would go about doing something. Stop acting all butt-hurt just because people aren’t getting in board with this campaign.

Sorry mate you can’t have it all ways. You cry when you feel like you’re attacked - and now you have come at me without me even mentioning you.

And all about 2 hours after you DM’d me making some fairly personal comments purely because I don’t back this campaign I’ve hitched your wagon to.

I told you you are free to support it. And I’m free to comment on the fact I think it’s a poorly thought out plan that Gino will run rings around.

 

I’ve not fired one dig at any podcast after todays result? Please enlighten me as to where I have.

 

Sorry missed the 2nd goal. I was booing from my office while working

 

At the risk of making a rather inappropriate historical comparison, the stewards are just doing their job. They are not well paid and they have to keep eyes on the crowd from a safety point of view. Someone will have issued a general instruction that banners are not allowed, and it may well be a standard thing, but it's a bad, bad look.

 

Ahhhhh bringing a DM into public. Noice

 

Also. I only cry at Wembley.

 

It's just inviting more and more trouble isn't it.

 

I think the thing that's causing the trouble is the sight of a team and a club decomposing before our very eyes. Protests and banners and a general sense of simmering anger are not unusual when a football club underperforms to this degree. So they ban banners. All that'll happen is the protests will be vocal. Then what? Pipe in some cheering over the tannoy to drown it out?

Like all organisations that are in some sort of position of power, it's unwise to try to silence people when they have valid points to make, even if they are critical ones. Not one supporter - no matter how angry - is expressing their view in order to damage the club. In fact, quite the opposite. But, you're right, if they try to shush people down I suspect it won't go well for them, judging by the anger on social media this evening.

 

I've put a shout out on the DNSYE twitterspace for a call to arms on this.

Be a voice even if it doesn't work. It's better to align with something than arguing for the sake of it.

Forza Watford
Pozzo Out

 

Probably some jobsworth ****** senior steward took it upon themselves in all probability.

 

Apparently Duxbury told this fan to shut up.

And people still think they will talk in July!

 

Better to stay silent and be thought a fool than to speak and have it confirmed.

 

Dean won’t be invited onto the ‘Watford Supporters Group’.

 

Fair play to the bloke. More impact made in one action than 5000 posts from keyboard warriors crying into the echo chamber.

 

Thats my cousin. Stewards kept watching him and followed him and his 7 year old son to the toilet.

 

Horrible club run by horrible people.
