Ok so none of us are happy with the ballot (and the rest) but this is the issue of the day. We need to show them and every other football supporter what it's all about, it has to be something everyone is willing to do, so not disrupting the match or interfering with support of the team. Those things can and should happen as well but will never involve the majority. The idea is simple: Every time a pysio comes on the pitch we all hold up a piece of A4 paper that says: "ALL KIDS SHOULD PAY KIDS PRICES" There is nobody that could say that they can't get hold of a piece of paper, it is the main issue that we can all agree on, it is just not right. This is such a mild form of protest everyone can get involved, even the players could stay down a little longer to show their support. It needs the support of everybody so please share with the HCST, HCPG and the rest, Twitter, facebook or anything else, print out more copies so you can pass them around at the ground or before. I'm sure even the villa fans can get on board with this as their kids will have paid full price on the day. Don't wait for everyone else, pass it on, get involved and make our voices heard, (No trolls please) Example attached.
65 posts and 64 likes including mine. The best record by far amongst all posters on this forum, and probably everyone else's for that matter. I reckon you're on to something you know. But what happens if the game is not interrupted by a chubby trainer / physio type, resplendent in his tight nylon club trackie , rubber gloves already on, scurrying across the turf with his kit bag in one hand, and the other hand cupped to his mic, (so people can't lip read him saying 'I'm about 2 ston too heavy for this lark' or even 'where's my Tam O'Shanter') eh? What happens then? Personally, and to cover all options, I think some of the crowd should also have a sign which should be held up if a stray dog gets on the pitch. Or even if a carelessly dropped crisp packet or newspaper gets blown onto the green sward and gets caught up in the swirling KC gusts.
You took the words right outa my mouth "You're so wise. You're like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair." & to the OP ~ could also add 19.04, start & end of each half ...
You guys are sooooooooooo funny. This is an idea, ever had one ? Sitting behind your computer moaning on forums won't change Jack. 90% of this is the Allams fault, 10% is because fans like you let them. (and there are a lot here) I suppose your happy that kids, OAP's and disabled are currently subsidising your ticket. It makes me want to do something about it but not you funny guy.
You like the post, go off on a physio phantasy, then take the mic at the end. But you have a point, most games a physio will come on a couple of times but to cover that maybe they should go up for a minute at 19.04 Also what would be a great photo opportunity would be if the under 10's (the littlest ones) gathered at the corner flag ends with their banners and had a first ever under 10's protest at a football match at half time. (that would make the papers) Follow this up with another leg pull if you like but remember the issue.
Quite a reasonable amount of posters on here do more than sit behind their keyboards. They give up their time to work on behalf of supporters. They have been behind the most successful protest group in the clubs history, CTWD. When the time came to stand up and be counted they stood up and organised. You are the Rip Van Winkle of protest. It’s a great idea, wave white flags of protest. Why not contact PLT and take some of his red cards out of his loft, organise people to hold them up. Better still get the wrong type of whistle and have them blown at strategic times. Maybe buy a **** load of tennis balls to replace the stress balls thrown away last time out. Or maybe, just go back to ****ing sleep again until you have another dig at supporters. The fact is that good protest need organisation and a good delivery. If the protest groups cannot get more than 100 to march to the ground on a match day, get less than a handful on the pitch. How many will take up your idea. For ****s sake it doesn’t even come with a free badge. Oh and for the record, I don’t do protest during games, I am not involved in any protest groups. I purposely distance myself from it, but even I think your post is pathetic.
Perhaps the only real protest is a complete withdrawal of home support. All who prefer not to, (admittedly the majority), do so out of sadly misplaced loyalty and are playing into the owner’s hands. It hurts bitterly to miss home games but it would seem to be the only way anyone can be peacefully and tellingly involved.
Not sure why some are being so hard on you, it's an idea, one which has been used before as in the red card protest. That was a great idea, so much more than the protest part of it in that it unified supporters, from the extreme radical ones to the sit on their bum types. It had so much going for it as a first step and then it stopped partly because old man Allam was ill allegedly. Could that sort of thing be revived? I'm not sure. please log in to view this image
It stopped because there was less of a take-up each time the red card protest was staged. If it's to be done again, it needs to be red cards, white cards are invisible. The Allam Out ones we did were barely visible, even the red cards with a big white 'NO' on them were far less visible.
I love protest as much as the next guy, but the recent protests have worked in convincing the club to agree to some changes. They've set a deadline. Let's wait and see if they meet the deadline before protesting again. Pissing Ehab off during this period is likely to result in him pulling one of his u-turns on the already agreed promises.
The decision on concessions and the return to the use of Hull City are both supposed to be sorted by the end of this month.
