Carson and Allen threatening to not pay wages if the fan protest goes ahead. Protest organiser will be banned too! :lol:

Why they've let it get to this point without acting, I don't know. We always say how lucky we are to have the Radfords, but we're also lucky to have the fans we do, who boycotted, protested and eventually forced Haslam out. Spireites are letting their club die.

It seems Basford, via their social media, have been encouraging Mansfield fans to attend the FA Trophy game and now the police have got 'intelligence' that some of your lot and plenty of Forest will be turning up at the weekend.

If you are, please just get in the ground and watch the match rather than antagonising those protesting. By all means laugh on here and have your fun but please respect this protest and don't give it the opportunity to be anything other than the completely peaceful one we need it to be.

Plenty of coppers will be about anyway it seems.

Thanks in advance.

What exactly are you lot protesting about?
Allen has been bankrolling you for years and is still to this day keeping the club afloat out of his own pocket. Must be costing him tens of thousands per month? Will any new consortium be able to match this in the short term?
He has granted successive managers competitive budgets compared to your peers.
Is it due to him tightening the purse strings due to the club not generating any more million pound transfer fees?
Or do you want a considerably richer benefactor that can splash the cash with bottomless pockets?
Is this the turkeys voting for Christmas?

It would not be appropriate to antagonise anyone taking part in this protest. It was not that long ago that we were in a similar position. I clearly remember that before we had our protest march we had a meeting at the civic centre. One of the speakers was a gentleman from the other side of the motorway who gave advise on organising protests as he had been involved with protests against C.field directors. As much as we take pleasure in the demise of that club it is not a laughing matter for those involved.

It puts it into perspective how much our fortunes have changed since those dark days.

Chesterfield fan begs Mansfield fans to let their protest go by peacefully. :lol:

They're angry, but still need the bills paying.
You've got to go there and come back, to know where you've been.

I guess he's not a sheep fan anymore then because no one has been doing anything for years as they've plummeted down the leagues.

I respect your peaceful protest. What I can't understand is why it's taken so long to organise.

Plenty has happened off the radar believe me.

He wants out, we want him out so there’s no huge complex agenda. If we can annoy him enough to take a cut-price deal to get out then so be it. If there’s an unpalatable alternative then it might as well be now rather than later.

But why choose a low profile game such as a FA Trophy game? I understand most of your games are now low profile, as you're in the Conference :P Seriously though, wouldn't the Grimsby game have been perfect, with the national press and the BBC cameras present?

I really don't know a) what your actual gripe is; b) why now? c) why such a low profile game has been chosen?

Maybe they expect to upset the players and they may put in an under par performance as a result.

If so its better it happen in the trophy than squander valuable league points.

I'm all for letting them suffer extra relegations and serve time in non league etc but to go bust? What's the point of having a rival?

Then keep the protest outside ground, maybe outside the main reception?

The only thing that interests people like Allen and Haslam is money, there were protests against Haslam here for years - and whilst life was made pretty uncomfortable for him many-a-time, and there were small wins, ultimately it was only the waft of money that smoked him out bit by bit. And he's still to be fully smoked too. If he's anything like Haslam then bed yourself in for the long haul. We were fortunate enough to be a football league club when Haslam was going about his business, so we had a bit of a safety net in non-league - you don't.

I have been following your dilemma on Bob Board.

I think "the not a penny more " fans have got it right.

Whilst ever your fans turn up in the numbers they do your owner will be reasonably happy. In fact I was amazed at the number of season tickets you sold for this season.

Our gates tumbled in the Haslam era and it is only now they are building up again. But the crucial thing was it forced the owner to sell.

The same kind of problems we had in many ways. Do you starve them out and risk your club dying or turn up and support the team and help keep it alive. The difference for us was Haslam wasn't covering losses like theirs is.

In our case the boycotts did starve the club of cash and so our budget was very tight and we went down. It was only the actual relegation and loss of tv money that finally pushed Haslam. I've always wondered what would have come next if we'd stayed up. Maybe it would have just prolonged things for another year.

Their situation is almost where we'd be if we plummeted now under JR. Let's hope that never happens.

Allens mismanagement right at a time when they were at the peak seems to have started a downward trend on the pitch that has just gone on and on. With that comes blaming and turning on him, despite all he's done for you. Disgraceful in some ways.

I do hope any protests pass off peacefully but don't mind your misery continuing for a bit longer yet.

Haslam didn't care how many turned up each game to watch, it was a bonus to him when we did.
His only concern was the value of the ground and its surrounding value.
He never lost a penny from us and made a lot of money out of us.
Maybe you need to do a Wimbledon or what we nearly did through hymas and friends and start an afc.
We got lucky with the ground only to be used for the sporting side not commercial.
I'm not sure cheaterfield can't be sold for commercial reasons and if you give them an excuse to fold they will
And blame the fans for not turning up and protesting.
I look forward to the day when afc Mansfield play afc cheaterfield at forest town.
Couldn't put a smiley face at the end because of haslam and owners like him.

Mr Bean the new CEO at Cheaterfield

Graham Bean sacked from Leeds United now employed by the sheep warriors.

Sacked due to keeping information to himself......

Experience in putting businesses into administration including a football club.

Players being told their not wanted even though they've just been signed now this new addition....

Carson n Allen are starting to dismantle the club piece be piece not looking good for them....

Right back onto more exciting news Brexit looks dead n buried......

The bent spire is excellent.

There's a few on here that want County Spireites, etc etc to go bust. I've never understood that . Last season, looking at the fixture list pre season was fantastic. Lincoln, Cov, Grimsby County Spireites etc. It didn't get any better , why would folk sooner have fixtures like today at the expense of local rivals?
