Loved him even more for that, if such a thing was possible with Sir Trev. He understood. 👌

Doesn't/didn't need them. It was an impromptu thing that happened after the 2nd Burnley goal went in. I and a few others from the BML (before the reconfigure) could see people begin to turn round and gather beneath the Box so we thought fuck it let's go give them stick as well. The concourses and access was much easier with less stewards about ans when we got there fans were piling in from all angles. So none of it was planned. Ans as soon as we congregated, the crowd was too big to usher away and we were there till the bitter end of the game. They eventually had to get up and fuck off inside it got that uncomfortable for them. I think that prick Peschesalido stood defiantly at the top thinking he was the bollocks fronting us up but he just looked pathetic.

That entire concourse directly below the Directors Box is still the best vantage point to turn around and give both barrels to the cunts. The Cameras would all quickly pick up on it and zoom right in to those chanting. 

Obviously don't chuck em any spare change this time but that's honestly the best way to go protesting visibly inside the Stadium. 

I think it's had a bit of a re-jig to not make it as easy with access but I reckon en masse Fans can overwhelm stewards etc and enough people doing it will get the desired effect. Next Home game on the Telly it needs to be done 1st half. Forfeit the game (the players have already!) whilst it's still early days so the fans can finally give them hell without it being nowhere near the business end of the season. 

It had the potential for those attending to do it yesterday against Chelsea but people bottled going that far when it was the perfect opportunity to be honest.

Burnley Directors Box Protest is the blueprint. 👌
Protests from behind too, above them. 

I have circumnavigated the ground several times, because stewards are incompetent and don't care, so people from all over the LS could surrounded the directors box and peacefully tell them to fuck off.

The only way to get him out is to shine a spotlight on dirt that we could dig up. We all have access to the internet, we could all begin investigating some of his skeletons and get them out there as part of our campaign. As far as GPT/Gemini could find, he's not been formally convicted of anything. He did serve 71 days in prison in 1982 but I think the ruling was eventually overturned. More recently there are allegations of sexual abuse by Sascha Wall. 

Example of his past controversies: 
  • Adult-industry past & 1982 conviction (served 71 days). The Standard
  • 2008 arrests (sexual-touching allegation denied; separate corruption probe) — no prosecution followed in the corruption case. The GuardianThe Independent
  • 2013–14 £1m loan to David Hunt (after his libel defeat). The GuardianThe Times
  • 2017 Sporting CP “liar” row (legal threat). The Telegraph
  • 2018 HMRC tax-tribunal defeat (~£700k). Talksport
  • 2018 Burnley protests & coin incident
Even by publicly surfacing this on banners and flags would make it uncomfortable for him. We're not accusing him of anything, but that these allegations don't reflect well on the club.

as we all know it has to be visible and covered in the media. The Burnley protest garnered a real reaction even if it took us nowhere ultimately

Banners
Chants and vocal abuse
Sit-ins

forget pitch invasions unless you don't mind the lifetime ban and possible action taken against the club itself.

Boycotting games is all very well and good but there is no point then putting your season ticket on the clubs ticket trader as they will make even more money out of it should it sell and if it doesn't your out of pocket not the club.

The food and drink outlets in the ground are all franchised I believe so a boycott of them won't work

If the remaining seats for a fixture don't sell they will probably punt them out to P1 for hospitality if its relatively high profile or in the the worse case scenario give them away to local residents and schools so the ground at least looks reasonably full.

Having said all that I'm getting three text messages and emails a week now telling me to hurry up and book for Lille and Chelsea as only limited seats remain

I think I'll take my chances with that and see how I feel at the end of next week.

The fact of the matter though is Sullivan and Brady will only go when it suits them or there positions become untenable which is very unlikely to be through any fans protests sadly 











 
The point about the club selling unoccupied seats is a very valid one that is very easily addressed.

Season ticket holders just go to the ground as normal - having the usual social with mated beforehand - and then enter the ground. They can then either go take their seat (and wave at the CCTV cameras) or simply loiter in the foyer, avoiding any chance to buy Sullishit.

Once the game kicks off they can then leave (for reasons that don't need to be revealed) and come back in again should they so desire.

This results in an empty seat that cannot be resold (in case the original owner comes back again while the match is in progress).

I look at many of the other clubs that have gone down the foreign ownership route and been an utter mess. It's rare it works out that the owners invest or don't try and fleece fans. I remember those on here touting that fraud Tony Fernandes that ruined QPR when he bought West Ham. 
Frankly I'd like to see British ownership that understands their fanbase but the likelihood is very slim and nobody in the UK can make themselves a billionaire here these days. 

 
Brady is still getting a free ride, she should be absolutely slaughtered for the shit job she’s done in what was a pretty simple task, take a passionate support and move them a couple of miles, all the mouths near the goals with all the other mouths, all the corporate near the cunts that run the club, all the families together in their own area but most of all, all of the away support up in the gods in the shit seats, those seats where she tried to make our concessions sit. 
The woman is vile and useless at her job and possibly the weak point in Sullivans ownership, target her and make it heard what a shit show she’s delivered and her ego will implode.

Loads of FA Cup games today.

Ideal chance to actually go to one and see if you could go as part of a potential  home game boycott rather than blithely dismissing it because it "fucks with YOUR rights/football routine".

It's a suggestion, not an order.

For me, Erith & Belvedere are away, but Erith are at home to Bengal United.

Maldon & Witham are both at home, as are Newham (meaning you could drink at your usual "home" boozer first).

Grays are at Barking & Romford at Stanway.

Much of our problem after that trophy win was not adequately replacing Rice with similar profile of player(s) imho. So yet again recruitment is the issue which is large part is down to having no long term plan or footballing philosophy or playing style, to help guide the profile of players recruited. Of course, being the team with the lowest number of scouts, data analysts etc was another root cause. But now we have Macaulay, and a scouting network, data analysts dont expect Sullivan to trust in them.  He will continue to favour his “eye for a player” or a punt or cheaper option over that scientific, proven data analytical nonsense.

The blagging wanker can point to that all he wants but that was more down to luck than anything else transpiring during his reign. The Competition didn't exist for the others. 
 We win a European trophy and he strolls out in a claret velvet ....thing.
Born liar and shitstain...same for the sour faced witch .
Fact is we couldn’t build on it. Sold our best player, replaced with a glory hunting mercenary and average joes. Appointed a poor manager. Went back to ordinary-to-poor in no time at all. That is how we roll, we can’t handle success.
