"There's gonna be a riot". ?

Post by Glostergull »

On A Facebook page supposedly for Real Torquay fans, This is a comment made by a so called supporter, Gee man. Just what have you done with a comment like that. What can we do to convince you that comments like that are all GL need to help get us thrown out of our home. Maggie Thatcher latched onto that years ago after Hillsbourgh. do you honestly think that thuggish bahaviour sits well with the public at large. My bet is if there is public meeting about the sale of the ground this will likely be ammunition to those who think we are all tarred with the same brush and we are all unruly hooligans just waiting for an excuse to have a fight. For goodness sake grow some and grow up. I don't know half of these people but others on here do. Please let them know your feelings. If you don't agree with me then we might as well give up now.

i agree a riot would solve nothing and could potentially be used against the fans

I predict it could be a title for a song!

There's not going to be a riot. These are Torquay United fans we're talking about, it's not like we're Millwall or West Ham.

Absolutely no need for there to be a riot but we do need to make the mayor aware of our feelings and plans are in place for a fans gathering outside of the town hall on Saturday 29th at 10.00am. If the mayor is of the opinion that any decision that he makes will make him unpopular, he'll almost certainly refer it to full council to make the decision.

That is a comment from an idiot and can safely be ignored.

I got added into that facebook group and a lot of the members there don't really know what is going on. My favourite was "This Pete Masters guy owns Truro and just bough the Sunday Independent! Let's see if we get him to talk about GI!"

I mean, anything raising the profile of the issue is helpful, but I'm dubious about how much good a facebook group can really do.

Mass media always attracts the simpletons; just put it down to that and ignore them

Oh god yeah I saw that one, then a few posts later he claimed to know who Pete Masters was :Oops: At least people are starting to realise there's a problem even if they're poorly informed.

Riot? I hope not.

Especially if they both show up then there could be some trouble down at Plainmoor. :}

At least they are displaying some passion unlike some Gulls fans who often I wonder if they even have a pulse. Obviously not condoning such action but a slightly milder protest may be a compromise although it won't do any good whatsoever.

You think the mayor is going to be at the town hall on a Saturday at 10am? The place will be locked up.

I'm aware that the mayor won't be there. That's not really the point. If we can generate some more awareness of the situation by arranging a peaceful presence outside of the town hall, which reaches people who wouldn't otherwise be aware, that's got to be a good thing. If it helps to make the decision a bit more uncomfortable for the mayor, all the better.
