How would people want to go about this? Set up a protest or get some sort of planning in place before hand?

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.

It's not way past time, it's a waste of time!
 
I couldn’t care less what any other club or the mags think of us tbh :lol: if protesting helps drive them out of the club then it’s the thing to do. The club is slowly dying on its knees and some are willing to just watch it unravel at the risk of being branded mag-like.

Maybe a mass walk out and protest outside the ground. I’ve seen some massive Sunderland fans on Twitter talking about packing it, we are going to loose thousands of fans
 
I think people just don't care enough, people come on here saying protest, but why don't they organise it themselves.. Wanting somebody else to do it

We are in the worst position the club has ever been in. When is it acceptable to complain?

Aye let's just add more scrutiny, pressure and focus on a team that is already struggling massively. I'm sure the fans protesting and bringing the mood further into despair is going to motivate the players into finishing the season well and getting promotion. We are still 4th, despite being absolutely gash lately...all is not lost yet.

Step 1: Tell us who owns our club!

Not going is the best form of protest. The attendances stand out in this division have a home gate closer to the average will make a statement.

Mass walkout on fifteen minutes would be canny. If only to see what the stewards would do

I couldn't care less tbh. Come the summer we will probably end up being in the same league with the same owners and still no clue. Will it be acceptable then?
