Each the above.

Met outside the pub and there you had a decent turn out.

BUT 0 leadership just like our club.

Get some people in charge to organise when and where to walk en route.

Keep together with the leaders organising the group.

Sing the same thing to the ground and dont just walk off in different groups.

 

Got to keep doing it and keep the momentum and learn from it.

Good effort though @ProjectReset dont get demoralised just learn how to get it better👍🏾

I’d suggest meet at the other side of KP in future. Avoid any main road crossings cos that’s what killed it in my opinion. 

Although - nothing stops us from congregating outside the fan store

Clarifications, Qualifications & Considerations

 

I hadn’t planned to sign in again, but given the substantial media coverage and feedback, it feels right to provide some clarity.

 

First, no movement is perfect, and this one was never going to be. It’s impossible to speak for everyone while delivering a message that is both broad enough to unite big numbers, and yet specific enough to drive action.

 

What is clear to me, is that there is more that unites us than there is that divides us. I hope we can all agree on is that this club needs to change & evolve.. 

 

While we may differ on the exact problems and solutions, we all recognise the breakdown in communication and trust between the club and the fans - and the urgent need to fix it.

 

Secondly - on the van: this was not organised by Project Reset. We provided our banner and coordinated on timings, but the messages displayed were fan-funded and fan-directed. A separate campaign was run on a different thread by @ozvaldo and I believe the messages/graphics were selected democratically. Again - respect the effort and intent, rather than commenting on here how you "would" have done it. Words don't count for much - actions define everything. 

 

Finally, and most importantly, today was about those who showed up. A substantial number of us made the brave decision to demand better. To those who stood with me today, thank you.

 

This movement was never about one person, and it cannot end here. Someone else must now pick up the mantle and build on the foundation we’ve created together. For all you naysayers, this is an open invitation - if you can do better - we're behind you & will support you. Show us. 

 

If anyone is willing to take this forward, you would be welcome to use the Project Reset name, and you would have my full support.

 

This is just the beginning. It has to be - if we truly want to bring about real change.

 

Viva la revolución.

 

Over & out, for good this time.

Fair play.  Anyone who gets off their arse and does something about something they care about rather than just whining about it, deserves respect .

Walk into the ground and get picked out by the gestapo and a ban.

I wore yellow at and after the protest, and walked unchallenged into the ground.

[bmt]

Btw i know its now an "im a better protestor than you" but the van messages are ****ing tragic. There's two relatively intelligent ones on there. Also rudkin is not the whole problem (don't get me wrong he is a problem) so it shouldn't be solely focused on him being a clown etc.

[OntarioFox]

Just a side point, don't want to derail the thread - but it was my first time in there today and £6.60 for a pint of Madri at the Local Hero is scandalous.

Well done, sir.

 

Im sure your hard work is appreciated throughout (most of) the fanbase.

 

And you’re right. This should only be the start.

Well done on just organising it. Great effort for the good of the club 

[Arkie Bennett]

First of all, congratulations to the organisers of the protest.

I've organised a few and taken part in more in my time, not all particularly successful, others surprisingly so. I know what it takes and the personal worry it brings.

You can't always predict how successful a protest will be. There are numerous uncontrollable factors that can affect things on the day. You can't regard it as a one-off. It has to be part of a longer campaign.

I do firmly believe that enthusiasm breeds enthusiasm, and small victories like today's protest will build awareness and momentum. Learn from both what went well and what didn't, such as the inevitable division of the march by a very busy Aylestone Road.

I think it's vital to decide exactly what the focus is, as it wasn't totally clear today. I don't think it's tactically best to focus on Rudkin if it's wholesale change at board level that is desired. While it's amusing for a moment to see Rudkin portrayed as a clown on the truck, a serious campaign needs to concentrate on serious slogans at that level. Obviously this isn't on the same scale, but look at how Led By Donkeys operate for good examples of how to organise campaigns.

Please don't take any of this as destructive criticism. The organisers of today's protest deserve every credit for their work. It's not the end, it's just the start.

 

[Tazfox]

Anyone fancy sticking a birthday message on Friday for Rod Kinowt?

[Skidmark]

My problem with the whole club's hierarchy has never been really been with one particular individual. 
 

It's been the whole hierarchy treating fans with utter dirt. (In particular the £25 charge for ST cards) 

 

After seeing the van, I thought it was a bit of a distraction from the heart of the issue. 

[Voll Blau]

Really encouraging numbers for a first go, which is half the battle.

 

Fair play for Project Reset and the van guys for their work. A bit more visible leadership next time would help the cause no end, but you guys didn't know what to expect today.

 

Feel more need to step up once in the ground, otherwise it just looks like another UFS thing. If you care enough, it's not hard to spray paint some wallpaper or even just sing up. All the internet posts in the world aren't going to save our club.

 

A good start, but momentum now needs to be built.

[BigGibbo]

'Internal review, you don't have a clue' and 'Premier ambition, amateur decisions' were the best messages of the day.

 

Clear, coherent & accurate.

 

Get them on t-shirts, banners, digital signage, etc and we will get the pundits and more disgruntled happy clappers on side.

[MS0204]

Decided to join, don’t think too deeply when it came to the messages, however the Cupid one was naff 

first song nearer the back was rudkins a c*nt ole ole. Then it went quiet and in my hearing was put the phone down you nonce as people were just filming for social media attention. After walking to the junction and getting separated by the traffic it was a gentle quiet stroll down and people dispersed to the turnstiles. 
As others have said it was a great effort to organise but I felt the whole thing was flat.

Bottom line it has people talking, moaning and being abusive so the message has done it’s job.. definitely needs better planning next one to give it some oomph.. 

i was expecting more but as soon as I saw a guy with a fox mask on carrying a rudkins an ostrich sign laughing and joking with a copper for photos, to then needing guiding across the road because he couldn’t see kind of set the tone to how this would turn out 

 

Then as soon as full time went, the family stand couldn’t wait to stand up and applaud. Honesty 

[foxile5]

How did it go.

Whoever you are you should take this forward. You've smashed it

[CosbehFox]

In a world where the detail doesn’t matter but it was picked up by various media sources suggest it was a success. If the TNT feed was shared by the PL world feed, then it’s definitely had an impact. 
 

I don’t think the battle is necessarily in Leicester. It’s everywhere else where reputation matters 

[CosbehFox]

Btw I don’t want to be too critical, but I didn’t go today because I don’t feel comfortable that the campaign is anonymous personally. Without a leader, it will wilt i feel in the long run but I’m happy that fans mobilised today

Correct, it wasn’t about how organised it was or when the bloody march was. It’s about getting recognition outside of Leicester and it did that. The fact it happened is the important thing. 

[Eskay]

The fact that Smithers kept getting shown on the screen and he was glancing at the TV monitor to see if it was still on him......I'd say it was a big message sent. 

[promised land]

Any reason why it was in the 15th minute and not the 14th as originally posted?

Far better turn than I thought would be there. Yes things could have been organised better but fair ****s to the those setting it all up. It will go down as a sucess.

[SemperEadem]

14 minutes though, flopped big time. Only UFS who went for it.
