Does anyone else find this sort of stuff really worrying ?

Well yes, to be honest I do, given their links to SoS, particularly when people like Huang give credence to "supporters groups" and want to meet with them (or say they do at least).
If Huang , or any potential owners, met one or two people like that they could have their opinion affected that this was a generally accepted view of the support (not that I think Arabs would countenance the idea of People Power)
I also blame Purslow in a major way for agreeing to meet with them last year.
This will go down like a lead balloon to be honest, and every one will disagree, but the only "supporters group" they should be listening to are the season ticket holders, and long standing scheme members.
Not because they (OK - we), are some sort of super-fan, or any more, or less, wise than anyone else, but it is a cross section of fans who have either held their tickets for years ,or, been on a waiting list for years. That may come across as being a bit stodgy, as a lot of old farts like me could be involved, but at least you know they have had some allegiance to the club over some period, whilst stumping up thousands for the pleasure, and not the distinct possibility that a number in an unofficial group are just militant trouble makers, looking for an argument, with no particular allegiance but riding on the back of the unpopularity of the current regime.
I am not advocating the need to take any supporters group into the equation, but if they do it should not be some disparate group of who knows what.
On the back of the Share Liverpool failure/debacle when if it had worked, would really have given fans the voice, but now they have joined up with SoS without as far as I can see any mandate from the members to do so.
This is how the militants gain power, they work on simple peoples worries and fear and eventually the unthinkable becomes the truth, its a Joe Goebells thing, the founding father of Nazi propaganda (not that I am suggesting for one minute RAWK or SoS are Nazi's)- If you repeat a lie often enough, people will eventually believe it.
So yes, it is worrying Rosco, and that particular site is becoming a much quoted fans website outside our circle.
