Dave Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 How long do people realistically think Ashley will be here? I mean, try and let nothing (your hate/wishes) cloud your view. Can seriously see him being here for at least another 10 years. What reason does he have to sell? Fans are protesting? Like that bothers him, unfortunately Plenty of reasons to believe it does, tbh.

Yep, contrary to popular urban myth, he doesn't have a thick skin at all and has proven to be a very emotional, spiteful and reactive person when confronted with strong criticism and attack.

A few people protesting outside a handful of the 400+ shops for less than 1 week of 52 in total wont even make a dent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current level is not sufficient to do anything in the long term. The first thing that needs to be done is to unite the supporter base, easier said than done. The whole crowd and city singing off the same hymn sheet would make things much easier. Getting some ex-pros on board to bring into line the less knowledgeable fans etc. It'll never happen, but imagine Shearer doorstepping for support in the AshleyOut campaign, that'd switch over almost all the naysayers in a heartbeat!

Wallsendmag Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Pitch invasion This should happen. Last time I was on the pitch was after we lost 2-1 at home to Hull in the final game of the 1990/91 season but that was more of a celebratory invasion as I think the mackems might have been relegated that day. Needs to be far more vitriol this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Seriously this should happen.

Needs to be far more vitriol this time. I'm as militant as anybody at the minute but I don't think this should happen. I would hate to see people get arrested because this club has driven them to it, the only people who will suffer in a meaningful way are the fans. The club would be fined and they would just pay the fine out of the money they'll not spend on players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the only ones to suffer will be those who care enough about the club to do something. I'm not against pulling down adverts, I'm against people getting arrested.

Taylor Swift Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Just don't go. How is it so fucking hard. Enough with gestures that do nothing to affect Ashley's financial wellbeing. He only gives a shit about money. Hit him where it hurts. Nothing else will do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Liked the idea of tearing down the Sports Direct related ads but you'd probably be charged with vandalism or damaging private property shit or something. against the idea of a pitch invasion ala Blackpool. The FA would deduct points and we will be relegated and the whole country will lay the blame on fans forever. Fans got the club relegated, not Carver, not Ashley. Dumb idea.
