    If a 'whistle' protest stops/delays the game for any length of time I can see it getting ugly.

    It'd be ironic to see people who don't think people should be protesting, with whistles, at the game, protesting themselves, with violence.

    If the whistle protesters don't stop the game but the subsequent violent scrapping protesters do, will the violent protesters beat themselves up also?

    It seems Ehab hates his unpopularity being known to the wider world. This seems to be what drives his extraordinary ' statement'.

    He doesn't like being shown up.

    I'm not sure if he genuinely believes the protests are unrepresentative of how our dwindling support feels.

    But he needs to know they are.

    It only takes a few crossed words about whether protests should occur during the game or not and Bob's your uncle it can soon escalate.

    I want the Allams to leave as much as anyone.

    I'm going to beat myself up, just to be on the safe side.

    I don't disagree I just find it amusing that people would potentially resort to violent protest because they don't think people should protest with a whistle. It's almost an Allam like bullying scenario.

    Can just picture it. We're back in the bottom 3 after the Boro game, drawing 0-0 with the Blunts. Whistle protest for 5 mins.
    We lose the game 2-0.

    "That's your ****ing fault that. Blowing that whistle"
    "Shurrup silly ****"
    "Who you calling silly ****?"
    Handbags.

    And that'll just be the old dears sat next to me <laugh>

    Which is why the protests must be smart and not have a direct impact on the team who hopefully will be doing their utmost to win a game of football.

    I suggested on another thread that the club could try and do something with the ticket allocation iot mitigate the effect of any “planned” protests.

    Other than not selling tickets, they can't really, the protesters won't care where their tickets are for.

    They'll probably stop sales of match day tickets in the North, but it won't make any difference.

    Will the whistles (if there are any :emoticon-0105-wink:) be blown singularly trying to imitate the referee and thereby disrupt the game, or all blown at once to make a loud noise a known phenomenon showing disapproval at something?

    Street demonstrations and protests often use whistles and sometimes metal pots and pans to make a big noise. Why would a collective loud noise disrupt a football game as some are suggesting? the World cup in south Africa went OK despite being ****ing annoying with all those vuvuzela things.
