Unhappy Arsenal fans are planning a protest to the club's board - and are making sure no-one will miss it. One Arsenal supporters' group, Where Has Our Arsenal Gone, have paid £700 to hire a billboard near the Emirates and are also planning a protest ahead of the Swansea game on Saturday week. The advert will feature the special 125 year anniversary crest with the motto forward - but with a question mark to ask whether the club is moving in the right direction after a turbulent summer. Arsenal season ticket holder Kelvin Meadows said: "By putting forward with the question mark we are hoping it will provoke debate as to which way the club is going. "We are not calling for the manager to go, we just want to know what is the club's future after selling Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri this summer. It's been a bad time for the fans. "The players will see the advert, the directors arriving for the game and staff who work at the stadium on a normal match day. Our objective is just to get the message across." One original design was vetoed by an advertising company for being too controversial while the latest has been given the green light to be put up next week. === Do you agree? Are you in support of this? What (if anything) will a protest like this achieve?
Who are these people to represent me? I was never asked and I bet none of you lot were either. You may agree with them but they've just assumed to know how the rest of us feel. Arrogance.

FREE SPEECH MATE. Advertisers display dubious stuff all the time and make stupid claims. Why not? Get some money and do one yourself - praising Wenger and the management of the Club.
That's not what I said I felt. I'm not happy with the management of the club, but I'm less happy with these guys.
For one, it will go up AFTER the window has shut. For two, it will be used to refer to the views of all Arsenal fans. What if they put at the bottom "btw, we hate Jews"? Obviously they wouldn't but that would be then taken into the accepted view of all Arsenal fans. For three, it will be demoralising to the team and lessen our performances.
Cause unnessesary tension around the club, media will lap it up and make things significantly worse! The cluba rent fool's they not what we all think
TOTAL OVER REACTION Introducing a racial element makes your post sound ridiculous, if you disagree get your own billboard advert, this is a free country mate.
Oh stop your complaining Rannaramshere. If you are a happy Arsenal fan then great but the majority of us are NOT. If you are not dismayed at what is going on at the club you are not a real Arsenal fan, and that is a FACT. Why should we be putting up with what we are seeing at the Emirates ? Do you go to matches ? Are you happy paying the highest prices in Europe to watch a team that is continually weakened while very little "real" investment is made ? Football has changed, the days of just going down to Highbury to watch a match are over, money has changed everything. The board better recognise this. I'll be down there with my peeps protesting for sure, I want to be seen and heard.
its not going to make a blind bit of difference, do you really think the board will be worried about a billboard that doesn't actually say anything and just has a ?
HEAR HEAR!!!!! We every right to voice our disapproval.... 2 games I have given away this season, Udinese game I did not attend, Loserpool game, I had to pay my brother to go!
