Your Choice to Protest

[RYM]

Just starting a new thread so all this stuff that's been mentioned doesn't get lost in other threads.

 

If you are looking to protest but don't want to be vocal for whatever reason then -

 

Stop reselling your seats - this plays into the clubs hands as others have pointed out. They can profit from you not going on the ticket sale, retail or on the kiosks. The stuff day trippers love!

This club has adopted the Daniel Levy model of "maximising the matchday revenue ceiling", the most toxic of all when it comes to loyal or "legacy fans" as we are labelled. 

 

Stop buying from the retail stores at the ground or online. Fu(k tacky Tuedays and Bringing your whole squad etc.

 

Stop buying anything from the kiosks

 

Stop opening emails from the club. Kill their open rates. Just delete, don't unsubscribe, just don't open them. A larger unopened rate on the emails will make the database less attractive for those awful emails from club sponsors.

 

Don't use the app 

 

If you want to be vocal then @ProjectReset are looking to talk to fans who can help. There is a reluctance for full transparency which is kind of off putting for some but those channels are open for those that want to be active.

Yeah, that was noticeable yesterday...a few posters gleefully saying that they'd put their seat up for resale..

 

Nooooo!!! 

 

Empty chair them.

It blows my mind that people buy stuff from the retail store, even when we're doing well. Pure tat.

Problem with not reselling a ticket is it also hurts the fan as they won't get the money back they would if they resold it.

Going on that look, he's about as likely to 'score' as anyone of our current players.

It will never happen, but either a mass walk-out on like 10mins, or just no one showing up (almost impossible) would have some affect.

A big problem is Top.  I don't think he gives a shit.  It's not his passion like it was Vichai's.  He's left things in the hands of Whelan and Rudkin, and - as per a few other posts on here, since Top was left in charge, we've got progressively worse every year.  

Whatever happens next, a new wave of protest or message needs to hit Top hard and make him take notice.  He's so oblivious, I bet he doesn't understand that a large portion of fans have an issue with Rudkin.  I'd be surprised if he knows we're 19th.

It may he that people can't afford to not sell their seats.or could spend the money on something else. Why should they suffer a financial penalty when all they wanted to do was support the team?

I have seen this in other leagues and the mass walk out is quite effective. It would certainly draw media attention and the club would notice. I honestly think the best way for the club to manage this would be for some honesty and openess at the end of the season.

I agree with this apart from the last bit, of course he is aware of our league position....this is a bit sensationalist

Season ticket already paid for anyway so you will not be losing anything.

 

Buy a new TV for £500 but I don't watch telly for a couple hours....I wouldn't feel out of pocket.

the problem is the majority of the match going fan at the KP doesn't care.  You need full blocks to do it not just the odd few. I can safely say the people around me wouldnt leave.

And me, I actually had an argument about it at work with someone, because I said no conscious Leicester fan should invest in the new shirt, purely because of the sponsor, and they found it extremely offensive and argued you are a bad fan if you don’t buy the kit….. bearing in mind this guy doesn’t have a season ticket…..

 

The shop as you say is full of pointless over priced useless tat. Retro Vinted is where I’m at, won’t wear anything that doesn’t have a walkers disk on it. So I agree with this. Stop buying pointless shit. If you want to support a good cause, give money to Union FS, or donate the money you would spend on kit, on a charity. 

[Mike Oxlong]

Bring a book 

 

Go to the game 

 

Don't watch the game, cheer or moan

 

Read your book 

 

Make the KP a library (ok, perhaps it is already)

 

That would be a pretty interesting look for the tv cameras

Nice one. Thats where @ProjectReset comes in. Get in touch there for that stuff.

See I think he does.

 

Maresca is never one to shy away from the truth.

After the win on Sunday, the Chelsea boss dropped hinted that he will try and sign Hermansen again in the summer after being impressed by his performance.

But once attention turned to the off-pitch issues at Leicester, the former Foxes manager was quick to defend the under-fire Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and Rudkin.
He said: “I met the best people in my life in terms of football in Leicester. The owner and sporting director.

“I hope for Leicester that they’re going to be a Premier League club [next season].

“I’m surprised but it’s not my job, I’m not there so I don’t know. My focus is on Chelsea but I hope they can be a Premier League club. The people there are good people, they care about the club, your family and it’s difficult to find these people in football.”

 

 

I think it's more a question of taking their eye off the ball and thinking 'they'd made it and were a safe member of the PL' hence their continual voting along with 'the 6' add in a degree of. incompetence

I’ve been walking out on 85 mins for years and that seems to be catching on!

You can be a decent person who cares about your employees but it doesn’t mean you don’t need help or make you anymore competent in your role. 
 

Maresca himself was quite vocal that the people who run the club needed more help and expertise. 

[ilikelcfc]

How about a 'walk out on 3' policy - eg if we ever go 3 goals down then we just get up and walk out. There is no realistic way back from 3 down for this team (even 2!), it shows that it's not just a lack of support. The mass walkout would be a powerful statement.

I think this is the crux of it. I think Maresca liked Top and Rudkin on a personal level because the club put a lot of energy into making it feel like a 'family'.

Kasper said similar on the Overlap last week about Vichai not being particularly bothered about winning, as long as everyone tried and as long as everyone was having a good time. He would genuinely care about the players, staff and their families and look after them to a level none of them have probably ever experienced before. I think Top is probably the same.

 

However there is an argument that culture a like that doesn't really work without the type of characters that Pearson rebuilt this club with. It can create a cosy environment with a lack of accountability. Here's a trip to Thailand, here's a new contract, here's a new Training Ground Spa etc.

Also, no one is doubting that Top doesn't look after the Manager, players etc. Our issue is that he's not showing the same level of care towards the fans, nor is he showing a ruthlessness toward success. It feels like internal relationships are more important to this board than operating a football club that is innovative, ambitious, successful and has a strong connection to it's fanbase.

I've been leaving early all season because we're so shit, but it then gets called out on here. I guess leaving early is only acceptable when everyone does it?!
