HI ALL

The Society Board has decided that Saturdays mass protest should be a GREEN Card protest and not red.

There are a number of very important reasons for this.

- The ownership / purchase situation is very much up in the air so it is very difficult to target individuals / bids for support / criticism without knowing where we will be on Saturday morning. Things are changing so quickly so we need messages that will remain valid whatever the situation.

- I have had in depth consultation with the media (their coverage is vital) and they are very positive about the association of Argyle / Green Army / Green Cards

- We can use Green as a positive (protest messages below)

- This fits in with the Brighton and Fans Re-United protest

- Green paper is cheaper than red ..... Just kidding.

The clear messages for the protest are

1. Save Our Club
2. Green for 100% support of our players / staff
3. BIL to pay up or get out
4. Brendan Guilfoyle to immediately engage with James Brent as per his committment at the Pavilions meeting.

Lets go Green for Argyle.

We have had a great response for volunteers but we need more. Every turnstile needs to be covered. Can anyone who is able to arrive at 1:15, outside the Devonport please PM Sue Pollard as she will be coordinating the volunteers on behalf of the Trust - go on theres a free Green Card T-Shirt in it for you

PRESS RELEASE – MASS GREEN CARD PROTEST

Plymouth Argyle fans are set to stage a mass protest at this weekend’s League Two clash Port Vale. The Argyle Fans’ Trust will be distributing thousands of green cards to supporters as they enter Home Park on Saturday afternoon. As kick-off approaches, the Trust is hoping that every fan in the stadium will brandish their green card as part of a striking visual protest at the way the club’s well-documented financial woes have been dealt with. The protest is also designed to show 100% support for the club’s staff and players, many of whom haven’t been fully paid for nine months.

Argyle Fan’s Trust Chair, Chris Webb said:

“This is a colourful way for all Argyle supporters to get the message across that the time has come for BIL to pay up or get out. The staff and players are at breaking point and our club is in dire straits. However there is an alternative bid on the table, and, with time running out, we would urge the P & A partnership to immediately begin a meaningful dialogue with James Brent.”

Volunteers will be distributing Green Cards to supporters from 1.30 pm on Saturday. This protest marks the beginning of a series of high-profile events designed to draw attention to the club’s plight.

Not going to look that effective to be honest, With the seats being green and im sure there will be quite a few empty will just look a bit strange.

Sorry but red is the only colour that would have worked.

Red stands for what we want.

I was only thinking last night that it is possible that rapid developments might render a red card protest a bit odd and that green cards might be better when lo and behold, this happens. It's almost always better to be positive than negative and as everyone in the entire nation knows (thanks Aviva), we're the Green Army.

Red stands for what we want.

Sorry but a green card really does not get across how I feel about these people. I want them red carded with a very long ban.

After today's Heaney story, might it suggest we're giving him the green light? 'We're Green-y for Heaney!'...

This sums it up for me too

I can see the logic, but will not be as effective as red cards!

Sorry to be negative too as I support wholeheartedly the Trust and it's aims to save the club.

But "green" universally is recognised as the colour associated with "go" - of course, we want Heaney to go, but, it may be interpreted as green for go in the sense of taking action. Tend to agree with others that the football red card is a more obvious and less ambiguous message.

Still hope it's a big success and attracts lots more publicity.

Chris , you told us last night that the Heany bid was dead in the water , now of course nothing has happenned and nothing has changed except for the colour of the protest.Can we not even get a protest right?

Isn't a GREEN card associated with visa's in America lol

im still happy to help and i have been told by rapson that im doing it anyway lol, Showing support to the players and staff for what they have done is the very least we cal ALL do,

COME ON YOU GREENS

Brilliant stategy there, that will go down in history alongside other great protest movements

"what do we want?"

"we don't really know"

"when do we want it?"

"dreckly"


Point of order Mr Chairman- if someone starts waving a red card (apart from the ref, obviously) will he be shown a yellow card. And if he persists in waving a red card, will he get a second yellow? Or a straight red, or a straight green? And if there are enough green cards at Home Park, will that mean that nice Mr Kassam will get his Residency Permit?

Is the Trust going fully "green" and will this mean supporters who drive 4 x 4's will have to pay a premium for their tickets? Are you going to get the team to travel to away games in dual power coaches? Will the old chant of "oggie, oggie, oggie" be replaced by "nut cutlet, nut cutlet, nut cutlet"


I know...,"grovey, what have you done?" "If you can't say anything useful" "think of the staff" "you're not a supporter, you're Heaney's love child" etc.etc.


Anyway, I'm off to organise a drinking festival in a brewery, a task that seems beyond the capabilities of some people
