Future protests

[1884HF]

I think today was a reasonable success for protests with the organisers doing quite a tidy job and a marked improvement on the project reset edition and it is a good base for continuing to organise protests, the question is when and what's next? Sit ins, vocal protest and the like should be the norm for every home game I reckon

Stick a few quid in the plane fund for the next home game … just something every home game is important, doesn’t necessarily have to be a big organised thing  every time, although I’d welcome that too.

Personally don’t think asking people to waste their hard earned money on planes and marches is the answer moving forward as we’ve already done it. It’s time to ramp it up with something different and impactful.

Waste of money.

sit-ins or protests outside the west stand entrance post match have power. I do worry with our servile fanbase that it'd be a damp squib if we didn't lose that match which does make it hard to plan and make effective, but needs to ramp up from the marches and single boycott thus far

Hit them where it hurts. Literally nobody, and I mean nobody, should be renewing season tickets for next season. I know it wont happen and there will still be at least 10-15k people renewing, but these feckers don't deserve a penny out of us. Difficulty of course being that any loss of revenue hurts the actual existence of the club more than it actually hurts Top/KP so i really dont know what the answer is. The other major difficulty is that it is probably still the minority that want Top gone and he still has plenty of happy clappers cheering him on in the stadium!

We're on it. I'm involved to some degree and the biggest issue I have is that last year we let things potter along for far too long when there was a perfect opportunity and for me we are behind schedule now given the club is at existential threat.

 

Keep your eyes peeled. I want this happening at more games than not.

 

The club is very likely to go under now I think. At best into administration. I personally will not be one of those who can sit there and say they did nothing about it.

Respect to everyone who did yesterday's protest. We need to keep at it.

That is literally the only way change is going to happen. Walking around with a banner while still giving the club money with your match ticket is not going to change anything. Starve the club of finances then watch them panic

Mate, if I may offer a suggestion. Think of something that gets the quiet people involved.

 

I suggested a phone torch protest (not that it was a good idea much, but it's a momentum in the stadium can flush out those who don't like to stamp and shout. It's a quiet person protest but also one that is unequivocal is showing disapproval) 

 

I'd add to that, for those 200 yesterday to buy tickets in that west stand block beneath and beside the Khunt. And shine the lights on him/his empty chair. 200 people directly shining torches in their lonely or empty chairs is kinda quietly humiliating. 

 

Torch the gaff!

A phone torch protest would sum up the fanbase perfectly

We are already a laughing stock, we don’t need to add to it 👍

Then 99% of supporters simply won't join in any noisy militant protest. They are weak and quiet and subservient.

 

If you want to do it noisy, the 200 will (regrettably) have to do it alone.

👏🏻 I will do anything to stop this club going out of existence too, so keep them coming and if I can help in any way then please let me know.

Made most news outlets so it did the job. Will be everyone soon as we’re relegated in a few weeks time.

Like what?  Any suggestions? 

[ozvaldo]

If people aren’t feeling too tight and can stick a tenner in for the plane - we’re nearly there. 
 

I’ll probably stick the final hundred or so in like last time.
