| Protest 17 WBA 18:03 - May 14 with 18854 views | RedAlert |
We are a group of long term Swansea City supporters who will protest at the continued tenure of Huw Jenkins at the final game of this years premier league season. Certain non visible actions have been undertaken this season to make Jenkins and his cohorts aware we are unhappy at their continued presence at the club.
The reasoning for this is the sale of the club in 2016.
1. The non inclusion of the trust in negotiations. This is because a previous a bidder for our club was vetted by the trust and vetoed resulting in a non sale. The trust were not included in the actual sale some months later obviously due to the original veto.
2. This is because certain board members were to benefit to the tune of some millions and the inclusion of the trust in the sale may have prevented this windfall. Aside to this documentation is in existence that states this was not in agreement and any attempt to do so would be viewed negatively.
3. The non investment in to the club since the unamed American consortium was announced as owners. Yes there are a variety of front men, but these are not the actual owners of SCFC. Their continued payroll of Huw Jenkins is obviously their way of keeping the fans at arms length.
ACTION
To prevent further supporters action we now call upon the current front men in America to remove Huw Jenkins from any role at Swansea City in the week leading up to the WBA home game. If this is not apparent at the conclusion of the game we urge all supporters with Swansea City at heart to walk on to the pitch ( much the same as supporters did when the club reached the play off final v Reading, none were arrested and nobody was banned from the ground ) this is clearly a club precedent which enables supporters to do the same thing on Sunday. The protest we ask is lawful with supporters vocalising their discontent. We do not expect any steward employed by the club to prevent this and request they step aside to enable peaceful protest. Please be advised it is your democratic right to do so and you should not be prevented by any person in a democratic country. Yes, there are a variety of laws in relation to this but as stated stated none were activated after the Nottingham Forest playoff semi final. We expect the same on Sunday. Irrespective of your view we expect this to also to be enabled by those Swansea City supporters content with the current strategy in place for our club by these Americans. If needs be you can protest your dislike from the stand. We do not expect or desire any confrontation between fellow Swansea fans.
Much has been done this season outside of public view, we now encourage Swansea fans to make the step forwards publicly and protest post game on the pitch as to Huw Jenkins continued tenure at the club. We ( all of us ) are a group of supporters who have always been different, we have always had the clubs best interests at heart. Est 2001. Please bring your voices and banners on Sunday to bring about change at our club.
We urged no pitch encroachment until the end of the game and the final whistle.
Now is the time. Protest 2017. In the name of your club, to remove the greed in football.
We understand the website owner can leave this as a header to this forum and respectfully ask they do so. [Post edited 14 May 2017 18:08]

Do we honestly think a"protest" such as this will make any difference or sway the Yanks?
Look at Blackpool as an example how many protests have they had against the owners ?
Todays situation is a long way from the Petty saga......these are hard headed business men not chancers...the club next season has an automatic revenue from the PL far in excess of the contribution from us paying customers unlike Petty who relied on gate receipts.....if they wanted to the Yanks can siphon out monies via management fees and use the income surplus form transfers and the PL money to recoup their "investment" then walk away.
What about if we see no investment or change in the summer all staying away .....how would they feel about pictures of an empty stadium being beamed back to the US?
any sort of pitch invasion incurs penalties to the club whcih could be in the form of points deduction......would we want to start next season with a minus points tally and financial .....I can hear the statement now "we would have spent more on signings but for the fact we had to pay the PL a fine as our fans broke the rules and invaded the pitch " and whilst nothing happened following the Notts Forest play off I bet the authorities would be down on us like a ton of bricks.
Hopefully the Trust will be taking Legal action soon or using the treat of this to negotiate. |
So how do you know the club will be fined if there are pitch incursions on Sunday ?
And who wants to make a difference ?
That's not the point.

Just for info
Pitch is not owned by club !!
Stewards are not employed by club !!
Therefore the club would not be bothered about any pitch protest or any damage to pitch caused by such protest so would said fans accept liability should damage be caused ?? | | | |

"We want Jenkins out" should be ringing in the greedy coonts ears when he leaves the Liberty next week. |
Fans who want to protest at end of match should go in West car park.
Fans who wish to applaud players can stay in the ground and show appreciation.
Players normally do a lap of pitch at end of season, along with their families. If some bellends chose that moment ( when all directors are in the bar / comfort of inner sanctum) then they will achieve nothing more than to alienate players and split fans. Not the desired outcome surely. | |

I'm genuinely not convinced we need a celebration. It's a massive relief yes, but it's been a dog of a season. Our worst since coming up.
Are West Brom having a party for not getting relegated? Are Burnley or Bournemouth?
I do get why people want to celebrate, but I think the owners need to be reminded that this season as a whole just wasn't good enough, not lauded for it. |
West Brom, Burnley and Bournemouth haven't had 3 managers this season. None of these teams have had Bob Bradley manage their squad with no high-level football experience, and change the back 4 every game for 3 months.
I agree that the board and Jenkins need to be reminded that this is not acceptable.
But Sunday is not the right place to do it. Myself, and most fans are going to be celebrating and applauding Paul Clement and the squad for what they've managed to achieve since January to save our club from relegation and even worse matters. | | | |

On the night of Roger Freestones testimonial I bumped into Huw Jenkins at the entrance to the tunnel at the Vetch. Some will know,most people won't but it was a few days after we beat Hull to stay in the Football League.
I shook his hand and congratulated him on staying up.
He said "thanks Dar but just avoiding relegation is nothing to celebrate."
So in Huws own words avoiding relegation is nothing to celebrate.
Argument over! |  |

Just fall in line and accept it - be grateful that us, the great unwashed have this. We are customers and consumers, fans do not matter |
Exactly.
Everybody tug forelocks and remember their place.
After all, who do we think we are having an opinion? |  | | |

If this on the pitch protest is happening today then why not wait till after the players have done their lap around the pitch and then go on |  | | |

It'll be interesting to see if this gets off the ground (no pun intended). Personally, I'm ambivalent but if others want to protest then fine. |  |

I'll be in the pub straight after the game to continue the celebrations of staying up, if I'm able I'll log in tonight to see if anything occurred |  |

Leon said in the Guardian interview that his 4 year old twins have been counting down the 'sleeps' until they get to do a lap of the pitch after the match. I bet that goes for alot of players. Don't ruin it.
There is nothing wrong with celebrating staying in the Prem and thanking the efforts of Paul and the players.
Protesting against Jenkins is understandable but not on pitch after match before players and families have 'SAFELY' left. | |

It was never about one day, it's about one man and his greed.
Still Jacks, you had your chance this season, next season at least they know how to inset their will in to your anal areas. You will just take it.
Altogether now, remember to do as you are told -
Chorus-
Swansea oh Swansea oh City said I
I'll sit in the liberty until the day I die
And when my clubs needs me - a lack of integrity
I'll still be sitting here - oh so lazily.
1.
Now Swansea had some super fans with that there is no doubt
Way back we ran you out of town with a great big Swansea shout
Lewis, Hamer and McClure and that shit bag Petty
But nowadays we toe the line so pathetically.
2.
So this season we had our chance to feel that north bank roar
But the idiots and sycophants just want to know the score
They care not about the sale of our beloved City
In time you will get your just deserts the dollar and Yankee.
3.
The trust they sit there on their hands promising a proper cause
Whilst Huw counts his money out along with the sell out whores
The questions remain unanswered and when they had their chance
The Swansea fans just clapped their hands being led a fine old dance.
Nice one Jacks. Just another football club. | | | |

The ' non visible actions' mentioned in the op were carried out meticulously.
You have built a strong unit which SAS would be proud of. The months of planning paid off.
Well done. | |

The key to this is that the full facts are not as yet in the public domain. The outcome of today's meeting will decide the future action, if the truth is what the Trust says it is and they conduct a PR battle then more people may be tempted to voice discontent.
We await the outcome. Thank fúck we stayed up, but for me a clean break is needed now. |  |

It isn't a problem mate, after all we are premier league, there is little spirit for the fight and Huw knew it. | |
