    Interesting action by Palace fans although some claiming "loony" left behind it.

    Regardless of who is behind it, does anyone think a protest in all grounds would make any difference. I don't, not to the likes of Ashley and his ilk. A similar protest or campaign to the likes of Barclays Bank and all the sponsors might however. Sponsors seem more cagey when it comes to bad publicity as seen recently in the NFL.

    What do you think?

    All one has to do is to refuse to sign up to Sky and to move away from BT's broadband.

    Sorted.

    Don't agree. I would guess that the number of arm chair supporters far outnumber the number of match attending fans. Again guesswork on my part but the reduction in numbers would not significantly impact on Sky's attempt at world domination.

    The best way to protest it, is quite simply:

    A) Don't turn-up to games and pay the ticket prices, thus feeding the vicious cycle
    B) Don't pay for sky or BT to watch the games. They're pathetic anyway. When I had sky, it was one or two games live per weekend... If you're paying £50 a month to watch at home, that's bloody shocking.

    There's loads of alternatives. Live text, streams, or simply get on with your life and wait til the game explodes itself.
