Organised Protest

I could handle premierleague relegations and the like but this is just a new low.

It's beyond unacceptable.

Worse could be yet to f***ing come, I pray not like.

Shambles.

I don't care how 'Mag-esque' it is, I don't care how many sarcy comments people make, I'll just hit 'ignore' on them, I don't care how many people do a hilarious misspelling of boycott, and I don't care how many people claim that people who protest aren't 'true supporters'.

The club we love, and have spent our lives loving, has been taken over by leeches. Dishonest, incompetent chancers who have taken money out of the club, employed their mates and other assorted idiots, criticised the fans, put nothing back into the club, and delivered the four worst teams in our 143 year history. When the three original chancers were found out, they just went out, found another one, hid behind him, and pretended they sold the club - when all they had done was add another chancer to the mix.

They have taken the piss out of our loyalty, knowing that our fatal flaw is that, EVERY season since we have been in League One (apart from the season behind closed doors), we have had higher attendances than any other club has ever managed at this level. 38395 of us were there last Saturday. That's incredible. It should also be embarrassing for the owners.

The shambles of the managerial situation, and the non appointment of Roy Keane is a watershed moment. It was (rightly or naively) the last light at the end of the tunnel. It has just been switched off.

Already there are lots of individuals coming to the conclusion they have had enough. I completely understand it, and right now I feel that way myself. It will also change nothing.

The club we love will never progress until these people are gone. Supporters of clubs in far, far healthier positions than us have organised protests on various issues, and they have often worked.

It is way past time that we arranged a protest. I don't claim to know what that looks like, or how it would work. But this is now an existential crisis for the club, and it is way past time that as supporters, we fought back against it.

The big difference between us and the mags is that our protest is justifiable. We aren't sitting pretty in the Premier league with a team of internationals. We're a club of similar, if not bigger, stature and have been languishing in the lower leagues for years due to GENUINE terrible running of the club

This club is having its heart ripped out.

To have 38,000 supporters turn up and be delivered this shite is borderline f***ing criminal.

That's part of the problem, we keep turning up. I have done it over many years. Not any more, I stopped going when they sold Maja. It hurts though because they will always be my team until my dying day.

In the first instance, RAWA and other fan groups need to arrange some form of meeting with the club. If the meeting doesn’t take place or the answers from the meeting aren’t suitable then we’ve got to start thinking about protests but groups like RAWA are probably going to be, rightly, wary of organising things that then jeopardises the relationship with the club, especially if there is an actual dialogue with the club about ongoing matters. To lose relationships like that, no matter how frayed the overall support is, would be a major loss for us fans.

By the next home game it will all be forgotten and we'll have over 30k there again.
 
Think a mass boycott is the only thing that will drive every one of these utter f***ing chancers out of the club anytime soon.

Was never convinced that Keane would have been a good appointment but the farcical way that the club has handled just about everything they've done so far in 2022 is bloody frightening and I shudder to think about where we're likely to be as a club by the time these tossers have fucked off.
 
We need to do this to send a message. From the outside it looks like we have just accepted it. We are giving them an easy ride while they do what they want. Let’s do something to get the media involved shine a light on our situation, maybe it will put them under pressure to release who owns what shares etc. It’s time to do something we are where we are because we did nothing
