Sit-in after Newcastle game

[Chip Shop Charlie]

Here's the latest protest to surface. 
Stay in your seats after the final whistle at the Newcastle game.
This is going to test the resolve of our fans as many leave early nowadays and I'm not sure many will fancy staying if we are 3-0 down after 70 minutes. 
Brady & Sullivan Out.

The problem with in-ground demonstrations is that the place is so vast that they have limited impact. I thought the boycott was reasonably successful as there were a lot of empty seats, but they were so spread out (although at least it made the management panic and start offering low-price seats); the same with a sit-in; even anti-Sullivan chants don't have much effect for the same reason - hard to get going and sustain at the required volume. So I think pre-game protests are the best plan, where all those taking part are in one place.
But I'm not going to criticise those who are trying to organise these things, and I will support them, because quite honestly I don't know what else to do.

Coyi spot on

[Massive Attack]

The fact organisers are trying anything is the more important thing. They care and are doing a damn sight more than others just moaning about how it should be done. I can't criticise them exhausting all ways to apply pressure. If Fans don't think that's good enough, then you organise a more meaningful and successful Protest then... 

NB - It was actually Bubbles who was 1 of the impromptu Protesters that had the bollocks to run on the pitch with the corner flag to kick off the Burnley protest, yet there's some now criticising the same bloke for helping to organise these other protests this season. 

[El Scorchio]

Why don't you organise something then, seen as you know what's best.

[Come On You Irons]

A sit in protest regardless of the result?

Cant see how this works at all.

It won't. It's a stupid idea.

These people who have appointed themselves "organisers" of the protests need to stick to basics.

Vocal anti SB chants in the stadium, vocal anti SB marches and protests outside the stadium.

Anything else like boycotts and sit ins is just pointless, pathetic posturing in my opinion.

After the complete failure of Mondays boycott sitting in the stadium after the game will be even more embarrassing.
Sheff weds show how a boycott works.
Monday night v brentford on sky wouldve been 45k max and it wasn't far off that despite some reteric from the people organising it.
Sullivan shit himself at the burnley protest and thats what it needs again not letting off pathetic fucking black balloons like a 5 yr old.

It was 40k so a small success in numbers but not that visually noticeable. Lots went because "I have to support the team" but in reality it was like a morgue there, but they didn't want to miss their night out and beers with a mate.

For me personally boycotting seems a lot easier than having to watch every last second against Newcastle and have to sit in there after

Hmm perhaps,  a little to far me thinks, certainly would be news worthy mind.

May not be as headline grabbing , but  I'm happy to run on the pitch and shit in the centre spot.

[Massive Attack]

What we need is someone to run on the pitch, having soaked himself in petrol, and set light to himself.  A good move that'll show them we mean business. Self immolation will certainly gain the attention. Anybody know of any volunteers?

 

 

Just douse Sullivan himself and launch him on the pitch like an extravagant midget throwing contest.

Row 66.

Leta see what the score is at half time, before I get the petrol out

I'm from the basis of try anything to put pressure on the cunts to make them as uncomfortable as possible. Static Protests, Marches, Media attention, messaging his granny missus on X, petitions, radio phone-ins, boycotts, sit-ins, balloons, banners, shove dog turd in his mailbox, chuck the fucking sink at it I don't care just as long as it eventually has the desired effect. And at least us fans can say we at peast did our bit by exhausting every avenue we could to oust them. 

[Come On You Irons]

Who do these people think they are?

 

West Ham supporters?
Fair enough if you don't agree with their methods.
But assuming you're not a supporter of the jizz goblin, what would YOU suggest is the best method of protest?

 

 

I support the marches and protests outside the ground and anti SB chants inside the ground. Anything else is just pathetic posturing in my opinion.

[Massive Attack]

Ludicrous idea, just like the boycott.

Who do these people think they are?

Mr. Hitler.

He probably thinks we're on the run. We are just the boys who will stop Sullivans little game.

Ill be shocked if im anywhere near that final whistle.

Fuckign hate going over there right now

[Mike Oxsaw]

Would probably help if the railways could squeeze in a couple of later-running Vomit Comets from Stratford to help those staying behind in getting home.

Not being a geeky choo-choo person I'd have no idea as to who to even ask for such a service - my impression of the railway companies, though, is one of "You travel when we want to run OUR trains, not when you actually want to travel."

[62Hammer]

It's a big stadium - if people are too spread out even a large number might not look like much. I'm happy to give it a go, but it does need to be a good turnout.

[Massive Attack]

Probably got a good chance of it being a fairly good turnout considering how strong thousands of us feel towards the Board. If roughly 5,000 turn up with short notice by the Players entrance then those same fans at least give or take should be there. Then it's a case of how many more now are pissed off with everything at the Club the worse it's got since.

Horrific last Home performance, yet another managerial change, near bottom of the League struggling to score or pick up points and out the Cup. If people are still prepared to tolerate all that wank trudging over there, then I can imagine a fair few will now add to the strong 5,000 that turned out by the Director's/players entrance to sit-in for a good hour after. It doesn't need to be 10s of thousands to make the point, so expect to see thousands attempting to sit in for as long as is possible, that is if they don't redirect Snatch Squads in to Fuck Off Squads trying to chuck people out. Probably got a good chance of it kicking off..

Fair play to those that do.

Fucking hell, it's exhausting following this Club.

[the coming of gary]

In - out. In - out.

Do the Hokey Cokey 
.

[Mad Ferret]

Another futile idea.

Most can't wait to leave the gaff to get the train back to Essex. Can't imagine they'll be many partaking in this.
