Milton view Fans don’t support boss
Dear Editor, There seems to be a general consensus of opinion amongst Accies fans of all ages that the club are currently underperforming in the SPFL Premiership, and seem to be hell-bent on relegation back to the Championship.
This is despite seemingly having a first team who are, in the main, good enough to achieve staying up, and some of us feel we are not being listened to.
Three separate fan polls have shown that we, as supporters, have absolutely NO faith in the current manager.
We, as a club, have no viable full-backs and we do not have the proven strikers that would ensure our survival and push for a top-six place.
We have signed several goalkeepers unnecessarily, and sanctioned moves for players such as Oumar Diaby, Richard Roy, Christopher Mandiangu, Kemy Agustien and Nico Sumsky, who barely played.
In our opinion there have been poor decisions and we are incapable of turning performances into wins, due to poor game management and poor substitutions; added to that we display, apparently, a complete lack of ability to rouse the players, as evidenced over the last half a dozen games.
While realising that Martin Canning is not fully responsible for our signing policy, he seems unable to get the best out of the players that we have and has one of our best midfielders has been played out of position all season.
As a form of protest we are planning to not attend the home league game against Kilmarnock on February 4 and instead attend East Kilbride’s away tie against Selkirk on the same date.
That is not a course of action that we take lightly, but it’s a course of action that we feel is necessary at this point to protest against decisions currently being made at the club, on and off the pitch.
We are the fans of the club, and must show our displeasure at the people currently running the club and some of the decisions being made.
We also feel frustrated in having no input via fans’ forums (etc) and feel that this is only the case because we are small in number and hold no sway with the club, and feel that this wrong.
We will be here, or our children will be, long after they are gone, as they are merely custodians and should realise this.
Wearehamilton (fans’ group) Dear Editor, On Saturday March 25, 2017, millions of people worldwide will switch their Earth Hour.
This hour is a time to send a message to our leaders that we want action to protect the future of our brilliant planet, and to reflect on the ways that we can individually reduce our impact.
But there are already heroes in our communities who are going that extra mile for our planet every day, and we want to know about them.
WWF and People’s Postcode Lottery have launched the Earth Hour Heroes competition to find and recognise the efforts of these special unsung heroes.
I encourage people in your local community to nominate themselves or others for awards in three different categories – for their efforts in their home, workplace or community.
Winners will receive £1,000 each, and will be presented their award at an exclusive ceremony at the Palace of Westminster.
A brighter future for our planet can start with each of us, and there has never been a better time to shine a spotlight on how individual people everywhere can begin to make a real difference, starting in our own homes, families, communities and businesses.
To find out more and to nominate your heroes, please go to wwf.org.uk/ Earthhourheroes.
