Doesn't money have to be used by a certain point to retain its charity status?

No, just a percentage each year to meet its charitable objects.

 

Charitees are required to keep enough reserves to cover future commitments.

 

I really don't think there is anything odd with this.

You know we can't control what people behind our front 5 rows sing right?

Mate I sit in sk1 trust me it stops when we start winning. You didn't hear a peep in the enzo season either. 

It really doesn't, because i can still hear it from SK2. There's less joining in from the rest of the area but the rudkin out chants from the core set of fans are not result dependant.

So there was still chants at ipswich earlier in the month? We will have to agree to disagree on that one!

All I know is that a proper interview with the owner which lays out a plan for the future and answers some historical question’s would go a long way to sorting all this out.

Your meant to be leading the section! Your right at the front and have a drum ffs! 

Come on man. When the crowd's up and songs are cracking off from across the standing section (which is good, we don't have a monopoly on songs), how are we meant to stop people at the back singing XYZ?

Didn't go to that one because I was at a christmas party in the evening, but there definitely were v stoke, which is what you referenced to start with

What’s making the ground a dream for away teams to visit is the squad the management/hierachy have served up on the pitch and the atmosphere that the majority of the ground provide. If we’re being honest the passive and tepid section of our fanbase are becoming just as much of a problem as Top and Rudkin themselves, they deserve each other.

Only the ones from the Middlesbrough area have to conform to this. :ph34r:

It's difficult to get fans to get on board with a really good, meaningful protest when King Power has spent 4/5 years generating a complete feeling of apathy within the fanbase.

 

It was a slow death but one that fans could see coming. I think that's made our downfall happen infront of our eyes so there's no real shock or surprise.


Obviously there have been some really toxic days at the King Power (3-0 down at half time against Wolves and Sheffield United spring to mind) but on the whole going 1-0 down just brings about Sack the board drones without real meaning or venom. It's going to take this getting a lot worse before it's consistently toxic against the board.

The 'section' isnt all UFS to be fair. People may join in but they're not minions.

 

And if anyone goes on about negativity in the ground they may as well include themselves in it if they're abusing different parts of the fanbase.

First of you need to be factual.. in your long post above you have got a few things incorrect. I literally stand just behind them and never have I heard them lead the chants “we’re f shit”.  
granted sack the board however.. 

 

If you want to make a point of the Rudkin out chants, which a lot of the time comes from groups in the middle then what do you suggest? I’ll await on an answer. Seems to be too many people suggesting what not to do but clearly coming up with no other options.. So if you can’t be vocal then how else do you make your point known? Majority of the kp are silent, that’ll really show them.. 
 

The club is rinsing members for match day prices and people are paying top dollar to see a team who don’t care. So when they come over at the end, are you one of the ones who claps their efforts? They need to know if they ain’t playing for the shirt and their £60,000 a week they aint good enough.. honestly Sheffield Wednesday fans ain’t taking it, reading, Celtic of all teams, Luton will get antsy soon so why should we just lay down and accept being a yo-yo club fighting for relegation two years running..
