Organised Protest

[LuigiLew]

Embarrassing to even think it let alone say it out loud, what sort of protest ? Maybe a fake coffin with one of our faces dressed as a fake priest, I’m sure that didn’t get ridiculed on here and indeed at 91 clubs around the country.

Don’t think anyones suggesting that pal, big surfer flag with appropriate wording would certainly let them know, especially on a live TV game. Time after time the fans are being taken for mugs and it has to be made clear it won’t be tolerated anymore.

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.

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

Mind if I stay until the end of the first half to let the traffic clear?

 

[Skandhaless]

They’re running a tight P&L. If they get less cash in the summer we’ll spend less in the summer and we’ve less chance of going up.

We're not going up anyway the way these are managing it .

 

[The Situation]

People can laugh and say it's Mag-esque and so on, but one thing is for sure, they wouldn't be sitting back and watching if they were in this position.

Isn't that exactly what they want you to think?

 

[herra soul mob]

if you tolerate this then div 2 will be next.....

 

[Rip Van Fish]

No I've supported them since 1982, missed only a handful of home games in that time and spent many weekends travelling the country. It's never been as bad as this.

Yer spot on mate. Beyond embarrassing

 

[Confucius]

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

Planning beforehand mate. Discuss what is the outcome that we want, what are the options available for maximum impact and who to contact to promote it, fanzines RAWA whoever. There surely must be better ways of getting our message out there , we don't want to come across as ungrateful Neanderthals

 

[Big Duke Six]

Nee hoss punching, or bewting cats.

 

[Nelson!]

Protest because we aren’t appointing the fan’s choice of new manager?

Look at what division we are in, as well as the state of the club in general, and ask yourself if you think the owners are doing a good job.

Some people will just accept anything from those in charge: pathetic little serfs.

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

Isn't that exactly what they want you to think?

Probably, but I bet it’s also the truth. If we sell 20k STs we’ll spend more than 12k STs.

Not going is totally justifiable but it also damages SAFC unfortunately.

Never been as bad as this? Are you mad?

 

[harryCLSsafc]

This narrative has to stop. Protesting gets you places. Look what happened in the end, they’re now faced with the richest owners in the world.

Time to protest me thinks. Time for madrox to be well and truly forced out of our club once and for all. I’ll back Neil but that’s not the main problem, the main problem is the standards and the acceptance of shite.

MADROX OUT! PROTEST ON. ️

 

[Mowgli]

Never been as bad as this? Are you mad?

It hasn't. The last 5 years is the worst in the clubs entire history. Its not even uo for debate.

This is factually the lowest we have ever been

 

[Nelson!]

Never been as bad as this? Are you mad?

We have literally never been in this division for this amount of time and don’t look like getting out of it any time soon. We also have the worst owners in our history.

Some on here have Stockholm syndrome.

If you don’t think it is you’re clearly a mag on a wind up!

Astounding that anyone could convince themselves we aren’t at our lowest ebb.

And?

There can be no argument that the last five years have been the worst in the clubs history. It’s been truly awful
