Next home game v Oxford 24/1 - is any protest/action taking place ?

[AYLESBURY FOX 1961]

Just asking well in advance. I am an ex season ticket holder - gave it up at the end of last season and vowed not to spend another penny until change happens. If there is something likely to take place in the ground or outside i would happily pay £20 to join in.

I’ll donate 👍🏻

Something needs to be followed up, to keep the momentum going.

Instead of a boycott it should be more vocal protest for Oxford - not a pound in the ground should be standard anyway 

[CosbehFox]

I suspect there will be but the more sophisticated, the more planning it needs and the more coverage required. 

[LcFc_Smiv]

The sensible follow up would be to stay in the concourse for the first 10 minutes. It will defeat the argument that those who didnt attend last night did so because of the weather, it can then lead to a more vocal protest. Following that against Charlton with an earlier kick off it becomes a sit in at the end. With it being shown on sky, they will have cameras in attendance, pretty hard for them to ignore and it will then be reported on soccer saturday which will have the viewers of other teams ready for the 3oclock kick offs.

Pressed post too early

[Bluetintedspecs]

I genuinely feel that those of you with such strong feelings should continue for all upcoming games like Sheffield Wednesday fans did!

If you think that last night was a roaring success and not mainly circumstantial due to weather, time of year , back to work /school night on TV etc then repeat the call for a continual total boycott especially including the next few Saturday fixtures and we'll then see where the strength of feeling and courage of convictions lie with yourselves and many others that werent in the stadium last night 👍

Protests need to take place to the ground on match days if you want impact.  Lots of signs and banners that are social media friendly and make some noise.

 

Maybe even 'soft picket' the club shop on a match day or something that grabs the attention.

[Leicesterpool]

Walk Protest from say the clock tower to the stadium, meet at 1pm to the stadium. On the 16th minute of matchday walk out and then peaceful protest outside the main entrance. 

[Nolucklcfc]

I like what Wednesday did coming in 10 minutes late. Would also be funny when the KPFC boo us in. 

[Bezzanator89]

Turn up this time, but maybe a cheeky banner to poke fun at the made-up attendance figures. 

"27,130... you're having a laugh!"

 

Also just not buy any merchandise or food/drink at the stadium, that'll hurt too.

People just won't do this that's the thing.

 

Given how divided the fanbase is, I don't think sitting in the concourse for 10 mins would help either. I think the only viable options are continuing to not go and a formal protest outside the stadium prior to kick off.

[Stuntman_Mike]

I'd like to see the project reset idea make a come back.

 

We need the colour, banners etc to attach to the movement.

There needs to be a chant about this at the very least.

And what is your answer? Let KP continue to do the fine job they are currently doing?

[Fear Of The Fox]

We're all sending our wives half naked to distract the opposition. 

Our players won't be affected because they can't see further than 5 yards.

I stated ....if all those so vocal and unhappy saw last night as a massive boycott win then why not carry on doing it for every game, moving forward? Let's see the courage of your convictions and the strength of the wider support behind it.

What's hard to understand about that?

It was. The four paragraphs in the BBC Sport match report and various social media buzz amongst the wider football world

We should come in 85 mins late and pass them on the stairs

So are you saying everyone not there last night was purely down to them boycotting, nothing else?

If it was that successful  then I assume you will repeat the boycott every game , like the Sheffield Wednesday fans did, with the same numbers not turning up until you get whatever it is you want? 

Go on show everyone how determined and serious you are and put this in place , let's see if it was a serious  boycott  or was it a conveniently selected fixture where it was clear the attendance would be affected irrespective and circumstances made it very easy for lots not to come ?

Precisely that... Partial boycott, which happened to great effect last night, I mean it got the media talking. But for real change, we need a unified response.

Whilst there are those that will simply accept the mediocrity that the club finds itself in, then things will never change.

 

There were still 15k-20k inside that stadium last night. Whilst that is a low number that has not been seen for many years, the response needs to be stronger.

If you want change, look at Sheffield Wednesday and how their fans did, and they were united.

Nope I’m saying that at all. 
 

I am saying that the stadium was so empty that the media have picked up on the discontent of the fans. Regardless if boycotting or deciding to give it a miss for weather/circumstance etc.

 

So the boycott has been successful because people today people across the country are talking about Leicester City fans being pissed off about their owners. That’s success. 

 

Equally a boycott loses its impact if you keep repeating it. I only have to cite the examples of Newcastle and Wednesday with their owners and protesting. They did all sorts of tactics rather than solely boycotting.

Revisionist slightly. Only in the final six months. Their fans were split for years and they left it far too late. Administration became the only option but with an immediate League One relegation 

[Kitchandro]

I think boycott’s are the way to go personally. Much easier to draw attention to all those empty seats on the TV than if they just mute the chants, can’t hear them, or just assume some people are late because of traffic.
 

I think all this other stuff is complicating it.

 

EDIT: having said that, protesting outside the ground for the whole match would be an idea because it doesn’t require making the stadium look well attended.

You seem a bit gutted it was a success?
