[Archived] Protest Ideas...

edit - great idea but might be illegal so removed

The England cricket game in Pune has to be a big target. Venkys will definitely be there, probably hosting a load of their cronies.

Maybe make some of those cardboard banners which normally have "4" and "6" on, to say 'Venkys OUT' for the barmy army to hold up when there's a wicket.

Jos Butler is a Rovers fan, although I doubt he'd be allowed to do anything controversial like use a 'Venkys Out' bat.

Anyone who is worried about being seen blowing a whistle should download a whistle app on their phone.

Or grow a pair and stop worrying

I keep reading you can't do this, you can't do that, its going to be the most orderly protest known to man, you can what the hell you want, its personal choice, simple as that.

At this stage i'm genuinely open to crucifying a chicken from a mast in the centre circle.

Your right. Was just a suggestion for the softies . I've found a pair recently so will be taking a proper refs whistle in.

Preston Blue's skiddies hurled on the pitch would get the players taken off. Health and safety is paramount.

I wasn't referring to you Jock, and a refs whistle eh

The whistle idea is great because it's disruptive.

This is what is needed, disruption. Walking out doesn't disrupt anything.

Welding turnstiles shut does.

Charlton fans last season throwing the Tennis Balls on the pitch worked well in terms of disrupting the game, maybe we could chuck a load of fried chicken on the pitch. Surely it would disrupt the game and it would be relevant to our predicament.

I'm sure there will be one nutter who brings an actual live chicken into the ground and chucks it on the pitch and that has always worked well and got the fans going in the past.

If we go all out for the Wolves game it will be a real statement, Yoda's user picture for example would be great on a huge banner. Keep the ideas flowing boys. #VenkysOut

The whistle idea can't be spun by Sky as 'only very small numbers participating' like they did with Villa and Newcastle protests.

Throw a great big load of feathers in the air behind the dug-out?

Or a load of chicken stock cubes, with a banner that says: "Thanks Venky's for making us a laughing stock."

For some unknown reason my mind went back to the days when Manchester City fans started a new craze with their inflatable Bananas. For a couple of seasons, inflatables became the norm. Always on TV. West Ham had inflatable Hammers, Grimsby had inflatable fish and I think Bury had inflatable Black puddings.

Could we not get inflatable Chickens with Venkys out emblazoned on them? That would give us some publicity.

Another good idea. Where do we submit ideas to. We need a group to decide on what we are going to do else we can come up with ideas all day long and none will get done.

A plane flying #venkysout.com over the ODI in Pune and around Venkys towers, and over their houses would be a great way of getting publicity and shaming them in their home town.

I'm sure I would be able to add a poll onto Venkysout.com ?

Maybe we can compile a list of ideas on here, then a fortnight before each home game we can do a vote and then go with whatever wins that week?

18/75 is set in stone for the Wolves game along with whistles so something different for each game would be good!

[Roverall]

How about inflatable rubber chickens with Venkys Out fecked en masse onto the pitch?

It would make the protest uniquely ours and get lots of attention. Also easily concealable from the Ewood Gestapo...

Something like that yes. From the meeting last night do we not need to have one central point from where protest ideas are decided on and published? If this is venkysout.com then great however who needs to decide on where this place is, that is what I am missing from the meeting last night, is there a single point of contact, focus etc..

If we do this as individuals or small groups we will fail, it needs to be together.

The guy's from rovers trust said they would be contacting me RE the website but as of yet I've not heard anything. Maybe that will set the ball rolling.

I think you are correct. Whatever happens needs to be coordinated and probably the best way is through the trust as they have some financial clout. Not sure how much money they have available but if possible another suggestion would be to purchase Venky shares and turn up legitimately at the next annual shareholders meeting and start asking some very pertinent questions.

So how do we get ideas from here to the trust, there are people on here in the trust so is that good enough (doubt it). This is just an open forum, albeit a good one, but we need to be able to submit somewhere and then the outcome of that be published to the supporter base. Shall I contact the trust, is someone else in touch with them, I was reading that Glen,Kamy etc where planning a trip to Pune before the trust visit, are they working together or not? I am like most people just a Rovers fan who wants to help but posting on here is just hot air if it goes nowhere.

Who can help or who do we contact.
