RBB Statement on FFA bans and walk out.

[wendybr]

On an amusing note, it will be interesting on Saturday when instead of the RBB the north terrace will consist of approx 100 riot police glaring at the players.  Sure to intimidate visiting players just as much, our boys would be used to it by now.  Without the RBB present it will make them stick out like a sore thumb on the TV and will show just how ridiculously over policed we are.

 

Pirtek might have to  borrow a sauce bottle or two for them to guard.

The FFA can choose to ignore us if they wish. The irony is that they will only notice us if we are not at the stadium. As much as I love going to the game and watching. I cant sit idle and watch the FFA systematically destroy the game I love. We are only going by the FFA's own statement.

 

 

 

WE ARE FOOTBALL. 

[SomeGuy1977]

Well this has turned into one big cluster **** now hasn't it?

 

Probably a bit soon for the club to have a statement, but has there been any word from other groups?

I stand against all form's of exploitation. 

 

I and two others will not be going to the game. x 3 RBB out.

[bombagol]

I'm a foundation member and I'd love to be there this weekend to support my team.  But the drivel that Gallop spewed out in his press conference today and the FFA's lack of addressing or even understanding the issue at hand, is unacceptable, therefore, I'm OUT, along with my family.  That's minus 4 in the Western stand.

 

I respect everyone who wishes to attend and watch the game they've paid their hard-earned cash for, I'd just encourage them (if they normally sit downstairs) to move upstairs out of camera view (there'll be plenty of good seats up there) and refrain from chanting.

Those boycotting from outside the RBB

 

Tell the club. Tell the FFA. Make it clear to them why you are not coming.

This might be hard to do:

- Depending on the amount of people boycotting (1k on WSF + 1k on Facebook doesn't represent our whole member base of 17k) so seats might not be free

- Pretty sure if you're on the east side (camera facing side) that if you move to the upper stand you'll still be on camera. Just like last week, very hard for supporters to relocate elsewhere in the stadium.

The absurdity of this whole issue is that Gallop is a lawyer. A guy who used to benefit from a system of due process is now refusing that due process to potentially innocent people.

 

There's more to FFA's stubbornness here. I think with a lot of these bans they have very little if not zero evidence. They know if that gets out it will create an even greater shitstorm.

So much if this stems from hatamoto. I doubt many at the ffa have seen the evidence.

 

As for his legal thing, that's exactly Why he's doing what he's doing. They're correct when they say natural justice doesn't apply to them. It doesn't. They can do what they like. He knows it. And his fear of litigation is part of what stops hI'm saying stuff as well.

 

But he's got to realize the FFA isn't a business it is the custodian of the game. It has responsibilities which go beyond the legal technicalities and a clean balance sheet and ******* keeping Rebecca Wilson or the scg trust dinosaurs happy for God's sake.

Simon Hill for new A League boss...

You may be saying that tongue in cheek, I firmly believe it. He is the best option available, bar none.

 

 

 

 

No brother, I was dead set serious. He chose to sit up with the WSW brethren on Sunday for his pre game spiel. He was very humbled of the respect he received for his attitude to fighting the good fight and all of the praise heaped on him. I think he was a tad embarrassed to be honest but a very passionate man who makes sense. Would be a perfect fit.

There are more important things than the ladder dude...

I agree

Yep. Cove has announced it on fb

 

Waiting on the rest

[wendybr]

+ 4 Western stand members out.

[jaepee36]

boom. wow.

[DamnedUnited]

I'm boycotting sleep !! Zero tolerance for zero due process !! Zero tolerance for anti democratic behavior !! Wonder if Gallop will release the amount of face time hours he has had with the police compared to the active supporter base across ten clubs. Dig your heels in FFA. It's our cue on what to do next. Hatamoto in 56. We know who you two are.
