afar Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I watched the build up to the game on Canadian TV today, Danny Dichio and Craig Forrest are the "experts" they wheel out each week. According to them protesting again was a bit ridiculous, we don't like Ashley because he's from the south, Dichio knows this from personal experience, and the owner has spent a lot of money on wages, it's his club, he can do with it what he likes. You have to laugh really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Why are people handing over the leaflets ? They don't have any legal right whatsover to confiscate them, if everyone just said no, what are they going to do throw people out of the ground. Firstly you are not missing anything by being kicked out and secondly the press would love a story about being kicked out the ground for having a leaflet. Aye, some old woman comes over to confiscate them and they just give them to her ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al1892 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I was at the game today (sorry) I'm a st holder, cancelled in January though. I boycotted last week, attended the protest and watched the match in the strawberry. I left today at 3 1 (1st time I've left a game early) and the people I spoke to when leaving were actually glad to leaving. People are sick of going and I think with a little bit more of a push this movement could get massive numbers. If they had better PR or a shearer or keegan backing them it would explode!

Aye, Ashley's played blinder with these 10 year deals, a lot of my mates have renewed but given the choice now wouldn't have. Saying that, some lads, one of my best mates included wouldn't even consider giving up their st ( although tbf he did boycott Spurs), some people are just lost causes, need to concentrate on the undecided. We can do this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espio Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Who is actually running the Ashley out show? It's like a faceless group. Whoever it is need bought a few pints. http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/feature/1886/council.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 big of the stewards to go into family enclosure and take them off kids. Speaking of being more militant, that is true, was talking at half time to a lad who said he was wanting the crowd to get some "spirit of 87" and after last game see people storm pitch to protest even go as far as actively go and rip down all the sports direct advertising boards!!

Ashley doesn't give a fuck about a few thousand not going he will just sell tickets cheaper and make money from sky. We need to get some proper aggression going inside and outside the ground. Most of the ground stood up on 34 minutes today. They just need some leadership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Toon Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Sheep do need a leader as our lot adhere to the rules to a tee. What we need is a banner with a protest happening for every minute. This means that numbers 1 through to 90 appear on it, so they understand. The protests have a sense of people watching the clock until a particular minute. This needs to change.

Leek Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I think anybody who buys tickets for the remaining home games exception if you're taking a kid to watch, or buys a season ticket next season is a complete idiot, you're basically happily letting the club treat you like an moron and you're paying for the privilege.
