Gav Posted February 1, 2024 Share Posted February 1, 2024 (edited) The only way to protest is to follow the Reading fans model, maximum impact, maximum exposure, beamed directly into the living room in Pune and across the world. Only my opinion of course and this view is in no way the views of Brfcs and its posters. Edited February 1, 2024 by Gav 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people are surprised these useless cretins still even own us, as in, they've assume they sold up years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpysharps86 Posted February 1, 2024 Share Posted February 1, 2024 A simple protest march or gathering outside the stadium is not enough to be noticed nowadays. That kind of coverage is taken up by the likes of Man United protesting against the Glazers. Regardless of what happens today with transfers, it feels like the only way for the fans to be noticed is to do what Reading fans have been doing and prevent matches from taking place. I don't like it particularly, but this feels like the only way to force the issue. The problem I'm seeing is that I'm not sure how much of the matchday fanbase would be willing to take part in the kind of protest that disrupts a match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoversClitheroe Posted February 1, 2024 Share Posted February 1, 2024 Fuck a soft protest. We need to replicate what Reading did. Let's get a game cancelled. Fuck them 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffsLeftPeg Posted February 1, 2024 Author Share Posted February 1, 2024 Agree with the above if the transfer window plays out as expected. Get on the pitch during the game on Saturday, it’s the only way. 18 and 75 minutes. With banners and Venky’s / Waggot out chants! They’re an absolute shambles and an embarrassment with the way they are treating people. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minutes are irrelevant, get in the pitch and get the game cancelled. Then get worldwide media coverage, and the reasons will be Venkys and the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, 18 minutes would be the time and then if the game isn’t cancelled for whatever reason do it again on 75. Every fan who wants to join on the pitch with a bag full of feathers emptied everywhere & a dozen eggs to be launched at the directors box! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norbert Rassragr Posted February 1, 2024 Share Posted February 1, 2024 The happy clappers will not join in to bulk up the numbers. There are too many thickos desperate to be servile wretches for any Reading type of event. Facebook and co. proves that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they were checking #Venkysout but it seems to now be the accepted viewpoint across football. So weird. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Somerset Rover Posted February 1, 2024 Share Posted February 1, 2024 Determining the why would influence the strategy here (easier said than done on how to determine this mind!). For my money, it has to be one the following two: 1. Pride 2. They have skeletons to hide I'd personally lean towards number 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuffsLeftPeg Posted February 1, 2024 Author Share Posted February 1, 2024 Do you think in return for selling them Adam Wharton Palace fans could loan us their banner?! To think we are are selling them our best player with the club going nowhere (apart from League One!) and our fans STILL haven’t got the balls to do anything and protest about it! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldgregg86 Posted February 1, 2024 Share Posted February 1, 2024 (edited) You would potentially get numbers in there tens who would receive large fines and bans why the remaining 8000 booed us off the pitch in handcuffs.

SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted February 1, 2024 Share Posted February 1, 2024 (edited) It appears the vast majority of our apathetic support haven't got a protest in them...even the dingles are taking the piss out of this thread.

Waggy76 Posted February 1, 2024 Share Posted February 1, 2024 Depending what happens later today and more importantly against QPR on Saturday , things can change very quickly. Losing on Saturday and no real signings and the blue touch paper could well be lit ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my money, it has to be one the following two: 1. Pride 2. They have skeletons to hide I'd personally lean towards number 2. I don't know why the pride line keeps getting pushed (no offence to you) I've worked with Indians for years and they take very little pride in their work. Happy to send stuff half done/poorly done and when stuff goes wrong they just bury their heads in the sand or you just get radio silence (sound familiar?) It's definitely No.2, and it must be a tyrannosaurus size skeleton for them to hold on for 13 years (like them going to prison, basically) They would have absolutely no issues with dropping us, regardless of what state we are in or how bad it made them look otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
