Guilty as charged. Have more important things in my own life to keep on top of but I'll happily partake.
 
Couldn't we just have a disorganised protest?

Start roumours - nods and winks - press confirmation - a series of imminent dates over a period of weeks when nothing happens - then announce the day before that its been cancelled.-

To be fair a fair few hundreds of us did wrap in the club last summer and never believed the bullshit on KLD. We were of course politely told to f*** off and good riddance. The 'le grand project' was reserved only for the most special people, the purest of hearts whose blood was pure sunderland and its taken another botched decision to finally trigger a groundswell of sorts and astonishing its taken this long.

Not a bad shout but we have far too many happy clappers scared and obsessed with them lot over the road to do something.

Why should the people who don’t want to protest be ostracised by those who do want to protest when the people who do want to protest do nothing about it themselves?

It doesn't work mate just saying I'm not going anymore because you have already spent the money. Yes empty seats doesn't look good but we are not on TV every week for people to see it. A few people outside the sol isn't going to make any difference at all. It's so so sad how low we have fallen.

I didn’t say it did, I was agreeing with the post I replied to.

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.

Does your lass know you're going to write all over the bedsheets?

What good will a protest do - it'll change nothing.
 
Renewals ...only way to hit them . They've constantly got the revenue up front to react slowly ( if at all ) to fan dissatisfaction . They can even publish 30k gates despite being empty so it doesn't look bad on data .
If they were dependant game to game they'd have to offer consistent product. I know it's good for the club to have known revenue and I've renewed through thick and thin for years for that reason but at this point were just subsidising crooked millionaires in advance .
No one should renew ( or buy club merchandise) , no matter what the early discount and to get us back they should have to offer double discount once they've sorted their crack out and laid it on the table for all to see .
That's what I'll be doing and there should be an open petition fans can sign up to signaling their intent to do likewise . The game should be up for maddrox , were no longer Sunderland were a shell run by pimps
