The Chelsea game is the ideal opportunity to make a statement! No ****er goes! This is the one time that apathy works! This would be big news that not one person goes and after all who’s expecting a win? Give your money to your local pub? They need it more then Chelsea & The Allams
Chelsea will just sell the tickets to tourists. Better we all don't go to a televised home game. Well, some go to put the banners and tee shirts out then leave before kick off
Thought Chelsea away would be a better option? It’s hard to pursued 14k not to go to a game they’ve paid for!
https://www.not606.com/threads/talksport-wor-hyem-and-that-flag-display.357898/ Maybe we should borrow Newcastle's flag or flags, suitably adapted. Assuming they can get a fire certificate that is.
I expect that’s exactly what will happen, should the recommendations be rejected at this weeks meeting and I doubt they will be accepted.
Flags, banners, boycotts, songs, signs... all too pathetic. Like trying to attack a rhino with a plastic toy butter knife. Anything that is to have any impact needs to disconvenience people. Either people who can exert pressure - the league, sky etc - or the Allams themselves. Thousands of fans on and refusing to leave the pitch before a televised game. Thousands of fans outside the ground denying the sky team access. Blockade any road routes to the stadium so anyone attending has to get out and walk. Blockade Allam marine so deliveries can't go in or out. Blockade the car park so the staff can't get home. Blockade their driveways so they can't drive in to work. Knock a door run their houses. Burn dog **** on their doorsteps and wedge the letterbox open. Not that I am advocating any of these actions and any actions taken should be kept within the confines of the law which I believe would rule all the examples above out, but trying to make a point that it needs stepping up a gear if it is to have any impact all and not just be a complete waste of time. Banners, flags etc all proven completely ineffective. Journalists and articles are like water off a ducks back. If there is to be a meaningful protest, it has to piss them off. No more pussy footing around. So get thinking. Any good ideas put them to the trust, the protest groups or whatever but keep them off forums and social media so as not to forewarn the enemy.
I stopped going four seasons ago now and was one of the Boothferry Park loyalist, really saddens me the passion and fight that has been eroded away. I too don't miss it anymore, football has become success rich by money and predictably boring. Same rich clubs finishing same positions, winning whatever they can be arsed with, no longer a fair plating filed as sport is meant to be. It is refreshing that I don't even bother to look for result anymore and my weekends are no longer ruined by dismal displays of obscenely salaried players who play for their own egos and not the shirt. For me to do nothing is not an excuse, I agree the only protest is for everyone to cancel memberships with immediate effect and refuse to entre the ground until the dictators are gone for good!!!!! They have us by the curly anyway, with the gift of the loan, asset stripping and parachute payments, this form of consistent protest will cause embarrassment and display the utter disrespect the vast majority hold against them. Even not entering the ground to provide media feedback all helps but the key is total UNITY, CITY TILL WE DIE PROVE IT.............
They won't be accepted or rejected. They will take them home 'to consider' and the committee members will be asked to think about something stupid like what kind of bog roll we should have at the ground.
How much does it cost for a light aircraft to fly over the KCOM trailing a banner saying something like "Ehab is an arsebandit". Failing that what about a Dirty Protest.
How about kidnapping him until he agrees to our demands, it worked on National lampoons Christmas vacation.
In all seriousness if we could get enough cash together could we really do this? A fiver from 300 people is nothing. I don't know any of the legal or CAA implications but this would really hit home if we can all agree the right message on the banner. It's got to be something that is not rude or obscene but something that will really insult the Allams and draw attention to their killing of our club.
The banner things is a bit of a lottery! It’s all dependent on wind speed! (Plane won’t take off! Think nearest is Manchester who do it? ) and then it’s low cloud, We could maybe hear it but that’s all! And as mentioned needs to be a day game.
It could come in over Swanland/Ferriby/Kirkella over West Park do a loop over the city centre then go back over the KCOM. Is there no where nearer than Manchester who could do this somewhere like Pocklington as the have Cessna's and the like, or maybe Breighton near Selby or Sherburn-in -Elmet? We could ask the Red Arrows to do a fly past and draw a really tiny cock in the sky with black and amber smoke trails.
