I don't know where to put this anymore so here it will be ... I hope it hasn't been put on earlier but most of the threads are racing along at a pace i can't keep up with. Just a little bit about US and a Crystal Palace supporter. from the Croydon Advertiser. http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/...of-the-week/story-29594394-detail/story.html?
Shoe-throwing or using shoes to insult are forms of protest in many parts of the world, most notably the Arab World. If everyone smuggled an old shoe into the ground and threw them onto the pitch at 19:04, fifteen thousand shoes flying onto the pitch would look quite impressive.
One other thing to bear in mind Jeff Stelling and the Soccer Saturday Boys will also be covering the game live. So the protests at 19.04 or a sit in at the end is bound to get them talking about it. They love to blow up a situation. Remember when Alan Pardew tries to nut David Meyler. uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhGUpVCW84Ip
We're on air before those 3pm games. We'll have to hope they come away from discussing the big teams to cover it.
We could throw 1,904 Paper Planes onto the pitch each with a reason we love Hull City on.....that just sounds good in my head but wouldn't be very affective and would just look like a bunch of paper planes. We could all bring an old Hull shirt and throw them onto the pitch and turn our backs? We could do what the Oxford United fans did and stage a sit in on the pitch before the game...and it's one of those where if a few people run on the pitch and sit down then people will follow. Mass chants of Allam Out and refuse to move, therefore messing up Sky's Schedule, Allams would have to pay the fine and it would be effective. West Ham have also done pitch invasions as a protest during two of their home matches before. I'm just brain storming ideas. I assume it will probably end up as everybody holding Red Cards reading "Allam Out" or something.
A pre-match pitch sit-in... We'd have to guarantee a few thousand at least up for it, but it would definitely get the media coverage.
A series of smaller events across the region, could help get coverage, and also stretch Police resources, which could cause a few head aches to the Allams from them about costs etc. They don't even have to be real. The threat of 50 or so people marching past the Alams home would still need to be considered by the authorities, even if it never materialised.
new song....'mauled by the Allams' Do not buy any food and drink off the concourse Do not buy a programme
The song's been suggested already and it's a decent shout. The Allams won't even notice if nobody buys a programme or food and drink, it's peanuts.
I agree the food, drink and programme are peanuts in financial terms, it's more the irritation and message it conveys alongside any other protest actions
We are going to have to make a decision sooner rather than later on what the coordinated protests are going to be. We have to get the word out and that is not going to be easily carried out. Otherwise there are going to be lots of different protests which will water down the effect and would possibly affect the players more.
One of those #askehab banners with him wearing a dunce hat. Display one in each stand as it's really powerful and he allegedly hates the #askehab. I like the shoes on the pitch idea, if multiple pairs of clown shoes could be thrown onto the pitch then even funnier. The lying cheating Egyptian scumbags.
This. OLM (or whoever?) can te HCST release another statement outlining the plans? This 1904 walkout is becoming a joke. It's receiving more and more backlash on social media yet the minority trying to push it are still doing so with so few supporters and no real argument as to why it will work/be effective/is needed. I've asked them to join in with the other forms of protest instead and was met with "but the group is only three days old so that's why we only have 200 people". By that maths, at the match in 6 days time, there'll be 600 walking out. 'That'll get the Allams talking?'
If the word gets out of a pre match sit in after say... when the players are walking out then everybody just runs on the pitch and sits down. If a statement of intention was released regarding this, it'll be much like a pitch invasion in the sense people who don't necessarily know about it would eventually see what was happening and join in. But it would definitely need backing by Atleast 1,000 fans before it could go ahead. I'm not sure people would want to risk it though.
