The best type of protest is the simplest .
That would be to give out a disposable glove like they give out at petrol stations but red.
A rendition of no blood on our hands as per the other thread whilst everyone holding up their red hand would be hugely symbolic .

Brilliant idea and cheap to execute (pardon the pun).

That's a cracking idea tbf, if it could be organised. Best I'd come up with was tennis balls dipped in red paint to symbolise blood, but there'd obviously be loads of bother if they were chucked on and delayed the game. Albeit at least the cameras would have to pick it up. The glove idea is probably better, but you'd need hundreds doing it for it to be visible

Is the biggest problem .
Where do you distribute a glove ?
The club will not allow them near the turnstiles.
Sheepfolds ?

The other way would be to get a ‘ bring a red glove ‘ message out on social media over the next few weeks .
Maybe start the ball rolling at Coventry game .
A lot of folk will have a red glove somewhere in their house. Those that don’t can maybe collect one from the flag lads on sheepfolds .

If there was a way to organise something whereby they are handed out on the way to the ground and with collection buckets for Amnesty International taking voluntary donations too, it would help give this a positive outcome too which could be publicised. I'd happily stump up for a box or two of gloves if it helped get things moving but I agree the organisation is always the hardest thing. Given their profile it would be good for SO37 to get involved but appreciate they've had their hands burned already.

Hoying the balls on and a delay would be tremendous tbf.

Wouldn’t red hands represent blood on our hands?
