I said ages ago that the supporters arent needed for a football game.
I got hounded because you all think that someone cheering the team affects the way they perform.

Not exactly my point, but to a certain extent I agree. Some people in charge of football clubs, and the game in general, don't value supporters.
I do think they make a difference, but it's more of a difference to the overall experience than it is to the result.
That's not to say that two quite evenly matched teams won't be affected by the passion of the crowd encouraging them to give slightly more of a ****, but on 95% of occasions the better team will win.m Barcelona would beat Hull City most times, and Hull City would beat Sheffield Tuesday most times regardless of the crowd

Protest wise I 'd go for something that's disruptive & gains media attention.

Protest march through his village at the most disruptive time, every week till they **** off.

Get on the gates at Allam Marine, stop every wagon going in to hand them a leaflet.

Protest at any appearances, charity events.

Disrupt their family life, their neighbours lives, their employees lives, their friends lives, their suppliers lives.

Get onto club sponsors & disrupt them too at home & work.

Let the ****ers know we're here & that we're not going away.

Badger the ****ers out, give them no peace.

Anyone have a mate who delivers horse heads?

I do a similar thing myself as I'm driving my g'kids back from playing the 2p machines and having tea Cleggy - as we go past Blunder Park I always give a verse or two of ''**** ground no fans'' ..... the wife thinks it's childish, but the kids love it :emoticon-0148-yes:

Normal behaviour. I do similar all the time & they don't come any more normal than me.

If I'm flying to Europe, I always try to take an in-flight dump over Paris.
A slab of frozen Brexit stool crashing through the 19th century tiled roof in an appartment of one of the trendier arrondissements is just what's needed.
I developed my 1980s Trans Pennine strategy of dumping in Leeds station and upscaled it somewhat.
Thanks

If you realy want to effect the Allams you need to hit the points they caee about, ego and money

1 - dont buy any offical city product including new shirts
2 - do not attend any matches inside the ground
3 - city supporters group inform police of planned marches from town centre to the park at side of groundon each match day, mgive thesendetails to press
4 - on match day's have march to ground then stay outside, still support city with rotating positive city chants followed by anti Allam chants. This must be peaceful to prevent negative press and no turn off potential buyers - think fan zones

this approach would be very strong, the Allams will start losing money, yes 'small" amounts nthrough gate recipient and merchandise, but when Sky and BBC ect start broadcasting half empty stadiums but thousands of fans outside commercial sponsors will become involved (no douby there rates have gone up with the potential new exposure). Further add to that the cost of policing bill the club will recieve (leeds and ipswich both lost courts ruling around cost of policing outside ground's) and you start looking at seriousefinancial losses.

again this just be done in a positive friendly way, we could not risk negative publicity for potential buyers, and by been outside the ground making positive noises along side anti allam songs will show players and staff we still support them and our club

How many times do you need telling your point 2 will never happen. Your marches might get some support but I doubt if it will much. The only one of your points that would be well supported is not buying merchandise. It's crap anyway most of it. The only protest that most of the supporters would support is the red card protest.
 
I think we should delay taking our seats until 10 minutes into the game but spend that time singing in the concourse (see football away days videos) . Imagine the Sky commentators trying to expalin the singing when there is no one in the ground..publicity. Then on 10 minutesflood in singing 'Allam Out' ...this will take a while so should lead us nicely to 19:04 'City till I Die'



Alternative.......rather than red cards lets just wear red...show on camera all game

Given that this is the first time I have ever commented on not going to games it will be the first time anyone has said to me it won't happen. However looking at comments on here, the low take up on membership scheme and general fustian of supporters who is to say it couldn't happen.

It's all well and good everyone whinging about the owners and wanting them out, but not doing anything will not change their view.
- red card protest? They don't go to games so won't see it and doubt they watch sky
- turn up late after kick off? As above plus the gate money still comes in
- throw stuff on pitch/visual protest in ground? Again they will not be there!!

The ONLY things that will change their thinking is a rapidly deceasing value of the club, that will only be achieved at coperate level, so influence must be made to them, and the club's bottom line

You want change then effect change,

They actually do see the games. They did last season courtesy of Sky who for some reason gave them a special feed. Sky will know doubt pay them the same courtesy this season. In any case doubt Sky or the PL will be happy at the first match of the season having red card protests and audiable chanting telling the owner to **** off.

SKY didn't give them a special feed. All clubs in the PL and Championship get one. And Patty of course.
