Darth Crooks Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 There are two main ones the magpie group sit in and an off shoot of leazes flags with the DW thing. The social media strategy for both is abysmal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The social media strategy for both is abysmal. so far i've seen a sit in, chocolate coins, tennis balls & DW signs all for the same game i think (i might have that wrong granted) we can't get anyone to agree on one protest so 4 should go well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Flyers of other sports shops is something I've been pushing for a while, so I'm glad it's finally happening. Simple, easily done and very effective when done en masse. Ashley will flip. Only problem is finding rivals that Ashley doesn't have a stake in.

Darth Crooks Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yeah they should have stuck to a simple idea and run with it. I’m involved with some of this and it’s like herding cats. Part of it is using the right tools - twitter and whattsapp ain’t them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Doesn’t Ashley have shares in DW Sports? *camera slowly pans to fans holding little DW sports paper, sat in front of, behind, and underneath absolutely massive sportsdirect advertising boards* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Might have to actually watch the match if everyone starts making paper plane's out of the leaflets and hoying them on the pitch, could be a little bit of excitement for the first time in donkeys years. Fuck the game, we all know that is going to be 90 minutes of shambolic dullness. Bring on the paper planes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Holding a sheet of paper with DW Sports on it ffs https://twitter.com/UtdAgainstAsh/status/1089599441005350913 Fair play to them for actually doing something though, none of the other groups are. Just seems so fucking small time Hardly even a 'protest' criticising others for trying to protest and calling them "fucking small time" with a smiley emoji. why what the fuck are you doing to get ashley out? Same as you, probably. Sorry, I'm not personally able to get Ashley out all by myself, therefore I can't have an opinion on anything/anyone else trying. Forgot that one if you cant get him out yourself, then join a protest group and come up with ideas. you've no idea what i have and havent done to protest against ashley.

Bring on the paper planes. Was at a painfully boring 0-0 at home under Souness and the paper planes were the highlight that day, everyone was bored to fuck.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 What's the craic with the chocolate coins?? IMO it’s the perfect ethical way for any socially concentiuous caring good samaritan to help the homeless out with money they can’t just spend on drugs or alcohol which only encourages them, but alternatively they can eat instead and due to the foil like material that isn’t edible it’s also ideal insulation to keep out the rain and snow. It’s also a commodity they can collect and with enough can exchange for cash at any scrap yard so they can use it towards a deposit on a house or a suit for a job interview to help them to get off their sponging off of society habit. Or it can be thrown at the pitch on match day... Given the local food bank will be outside of SJP before kick off, I’d urge anyone taking chocolate coins with them to consider donating whatever spare change that doesn’t get thrown to the food bank, they will benefit a lot. Chocolate coins is certainly an interesting tactic though and different to previous protests of throwing paper money at the owner which hasn’t exactly achieved anything other than him beefing up security by employing Joselu to head off future protests. No doubt a move by Bishop. Bishop will probably turn the coin protest into good PR by getting Ashley to personally hand them out to the homeless people on Northumberland Street. Guess who wins again... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
