    I know it’s been said before, but there’s a game on TV soon, balls to it effecting the players nothing more is effecting them than of ran shackled chairmen.

    Time to ramp up the protest, bollocks to meetings etc it’s all a smoke screen all in for the favour of the Allams.

    Ideas?

    What’s happened to it, have we given in and accepted the Allams will destroy us?
    I blame the the internet, we all come on here and on social media etc moaning and saying what we are going to do, who should do what etc but lately that’s as far as it goes.
    Before the internet we’d have been protesting, having sit ins after games etc like we did at Boothferry Park after they gave Bradford the south stand.
    We wouldn’t have stood for this in the old days

    The end

    Ps I’m as guilty as anyone for not doing a great deal

    As I’ve edited my post I’m as guilty as anyone for not doing anything apart from cancelling my membership. My last game was September

    If we’re all in agreement that they are planning to take the money and run? Then what’s the point of protesting? These ****s aren’t bothered! Empty stadium? They’ve engineered that themselves!

    Not having a go at you but I've said it before it is our club why do city's fans walk away instead of staying and fighting for it.

    It further embarrass them. Gets people to notice what a mess we are in and what horrible bastards these two are. Maybe the Leagues or bodies in charge would stop such things happening in the future? Anything.

    That’s farenough, if there had been more protests in the ground it would be better. I always though having them before a game and not at the stadium was to hard to get people there. Also the Allams just drained everyone’s interest and divided the fans. At boothferry Park there have only been 3,4,5000 but they were all united in the protests

    Oh yeah I still go but like I said what’s the point of protesting really? Everyone knows where this is going but it could have been so different? I Can’t wait for the last parachute payment to come so they can **** off! Then we the fans will pick up the pieces and see what we’re left with?

    I think the arguement for people backing the Allams has totally gone now. The only arguement people have is ‘it effects the team’.

    The majority of the 4-5 thousand that went to Boothferry Park probably still go I dare say.

    If we all stayed away for the rest of this season then yes it would cost them money, how ever they wouldn't go anywhere because they are waiting for the next sky investment and until that comes in they are not going anywhere. For those not going then yes you are not giving them any money but for the rest of us its a dilemma between not wanting to give to them but at the same time supporting the team. I prefer to support the team because I have done so for nearly 48 years but can understand those that don't want to. Hopefully this will all end soon but I just hope we get decent new owners who communicate with the fans. This idea if they don't sell by the end of the season regarding putting into some other ownership I don't really understand but that didn't sound to good to me either

    I think you are probably wrong about that. I know many that like me have given up.

    I think you may have got that wrong. Many, in fact most, of those I used to know from Boothferry Park no longer go.

    That is then sad. I still know a few who go to be fair.

    Agree with Driffs sentiments. Only 1 of 'us' still goes out of 14.

    Admittedly 2 died. 1 before the first promotion to the Premier League and 1 before the F A Cup Final. Probably 600 years of support, thousands of miles around the UK and Europe and some in China, plus countless £££££££.

    Geo said somewhere else that the internet probably stops people from protesting round the back of 'Best Stand'. He's right.

    Its far easier for me to blather on, on here, + beer + watching us on the Championship, then getting to the ground. Quite honestly I can't see me going back even when those twats eventually do **** off. Same with most of my mates.

    No one likes having their noses rubbed in it. You find others things to do.

    Disappointing.

    Allams Out !!!!

    I agree, situation too serious not to protest but has to be v well organised and publicised.

    Demonstration outside then go into the ground at 19.04 or alternatively leave ground at certain pre-arranged time. Something along those lines anyway with associated publicity would be effective.

    It would almost be better to have a completely empty stadium. Properly empty. Not one person in the ground.

    That’s it people find other things to do so after a while them things become the norm, in turn because they don’t go they don’t take there kids or grandchildren, so when the Allams have gone we’ve got a lot of catching up to do as the next generation do something else on a Saturday or support Man U and Liverpool etc and get laughted at in the playground if they support ****ty city

    Already suggested the queen laughing banner. Get it plastered everywhere Allam commercial and residential properties, they wanted New Years honours recognition. They live in our area and are ruining something a lot of local people are passionate about. It's a disgrace.

    Pointy slippers thrown on the pitches. Fez (not our actual Fez) but Fez hats thrown onto the pitch. Squash balls thrown onto the pitch.
