King Power Out - Plane Protest

[Paninistickers]

I can't back this one. I'm afraid the plane is the wrong idea. It rumbles over, more or less creates a few chuckles and mumbles in the crowd (the classic Leicester defeatist, self deprecating 'is that it?' grizzling) 

 

Which, facing facts

 

1. We aren't an animated fanbase - nothing happens inside the ground. We've always been a spur of the moment fanbase. So loud in ground protests are a waste of time 

 

2. Most of those who are against the regime no longer attend games 

 

3. The logical thing is therefore the 300 or so who can be arsed to do anything should do something outside sthe stadium. I'd go with the Cambodia flags, leaflets, placards

 

4. Those inside the stadium, when the moment is right (2-0 down for example) turn on the torch of the phone and point them at the directors box..quiet, discreet, legal and can work with the flow of the game and use the classic Leicester grumbling against the club 

 

Edit; I think the phone torch might work. Shine a light on KP. Plus, those a little nervous in the stands of voicing and opinion can visibly see others who are of the same opinion. Gives them a bit of a lift that they aren't alone. Domino effect

Utterly pointless.

 

A plane does what? Gives journalists in the UK something to talk about. 

 

They already are talking about how useless Top/King Power are. 

 

A plane totally misses the target audience.

 

We need to talk to Thailand. We need to embarrass Top. 

 

Re-sharing my post from another thread yesterday. Flip flops/elephants - whatever you want it to be. I'm not arsed. But our actions need to directly target Thai culture and talk to Thai people. We need to give him a reason to want rid of us. 

 

"This (throwing tennis balls onto the pitch) but use flip flops. Just buy some for a quid or two from Primark.

 

In Thailand footwear/feet are seen as a symbol of low status and distaste. In Thailand, and in the context of protest, it would effectively read as we see Top as being lower than low for us. Incredibly embarrassing. Bonus points if they have a Thai flag sticker/painted on them.

 

Or, perhaps even better - white elephants.

Amazon Link

 

In Thailand, the white elephant is a famous idiom. Historically, a King would give a white elephant to a courtier he disliked; the animal was sacred (so it couldn't work) but incredibly expensive to keep, eventually bankrupting the owner. Sound familiar?

 

It speaks directly to the Thai people to succinctly say that our owner is a fool and he's bankrupting Thai pride, in every sense of the word. 

 

It's ridiculous. It points fun at Top. In Thailand, being laughed at is considered worse than being hated.

 

One or the other or both? (Flip flops/white elephants)

 

Either way, the most effective way to get rid of Top is to embarrass him in front of his peers. He doesn't give a toss what the British media or we think. 

 

Time to get clever. Hit him where it hurts (his pride). We can do this without getting vitriolic or xenophobic.

 

If people are on board with this, does it need its own thread/twitter/campaign to gather momentum?"

This is too high brow for most of our fans. By all means do it too though

Gonna give this a bump. This is approaching the halfway point of its target. If you are actively participating in the march for the Norwich game, then I'd also encourage you to donate to this if you can. Let's have more than one protest action for maximum impact. If all you can give is £20, £10, £5 or £1, then you are contributing to the cause.

My response would be the classic 'don't let perfect be the enemy of the good'. We can have a few hundred marching to the ground showing their disgust as well as the plane banner. 

 

The plane banner wouldn't be my first port of call, but I'd strongly suggest that having it a alongside other actions is better than not having it at all.

If it doesn’t reach target by a certain time, maybe use what money there is to get a massive banner with King Power Out or whatever on it so that loads of people can hold it walking to the ground. Bound to be cheaper than a plane.

Or 10,000 tennis balls 

I still think contrary to what some have said, the plane is a good idea. It's not about whether a specific action is going to acheive what it sets out in isolation - it's all about continued pressure and visibility of the discontent in multiple spheres - inside the ground, across the city and county, and in neutral spheres within the game. Our main fault as a fanbase has been failing to keep up an active protest week in, week out, in any notable form. Especially since a fair few have let it waver on the rare occasion we've won a game or two over these past few miserable seasons - I'll admit even I started to get a little carried away with the idea of us turning a corner with our single patch of good form in early December.

 

Project Reset got column inches at a time when unrest against KP was considered a fringe view amongst the fanbase as a whole. Its main fault was being a one-off - there hasn't really been much else since besides the regular Rudkin Out chants, but I can see that changing from hereon out. The vital thing is not letting it peter out again after one week - the job is absolutely not done even if the Norwich game proves to be far more unanimous in support for the protest.

 

Bit of a tangent but yeah, no reason a plane banner can't be part of wider actions on the day. But the key thing is for something - even just simple things like staying at the end or chants to sell up - to happen every week, home and away.

[Foxes1]

See West Ham fans did one at Burton yesterday and had banners in the crowd which made the news, anyone taking banners etc to Stoke or Middlesbrough

[Haywood_6]

Donated.I won't be giving this club another penny so happy to support any protests. I also think @Katysuggestion of a huge banner which can be held walking to the ground for the Unite the change Norwich protest is also a good idea.

Don't get why you can't do both?

 

Surely a plane banner and a protest outside the ground before game builds up the narrative nicely compared to just one isolated action?

If the money was for one of those stand wide banners that UFS do and we all told outside the road at the family stand, the optics would be better. Just think the plane has been done (twice, recently and the 1980s) and both times were a damp squib. A third plane will be another dank squib. 

 

Put the money to the external protesters and I'll back it. I'll back anything more or less, but the plane is done.

Wait. You say that a King Power Out banner flying over isn't going to have an impact but some phone torches are? Hilarious!

 

So Top, what was the point where you realised it was time to sell?  Plane banner? Protests outside your father's statue? 

 

"Honestly? I saw a few hundred LEDs shining in the Kop and I knew it was time we wouldn't promote - good bye Leicester"

Could this be done for Norwich if the money is raised in time? It'd be good to coincide with the match. I'll give this a share on a couple of Facebook pages and grab my tin hat 😄

Potentially!  The guy who runs the company is a bit slow at coming back to me…but I’ll chase him again tonight.

As others have said though, the club is nothing to do with king power. So the antis will point that out straight away. Could there be a different message?

Hope I'm missing the point where someone has called out how much 10,000 balls would cost and you're joking  

 

I play Tennis 5,000 of those things even if they are terrible would cost far more than 2k

Seeing as the donations seem to have dried up what is the plan with this?

 

I’m happy to go again but you would need everyone to do it and we still wouldn’t have enough.

TikTok shop, 24 balls is £9.99 - so that’s 41.6p each.

 

Therefore 10,000 is going to cost £4.1k
