Why not nominate a game at VP to boycott?
An empty stadium might not achieve bugger all, but it will send a message that we actually do care. Care much more than the current custodians.
Can anyone imagine a properly run club like Arsenal being allowed to get into this state?

id go with the stadium boycott, we could have a kickabout on aston park, would be more entertaining than the shit we have to watch


Why not do what Bayern fans did at Arsenal when protesting about ticket prices? A full boycott won't work, but if people are told to not take their seats until five or ten minutes after kickoff then this will send a message.

I'm aware the club want us to turn up half hour before kickoff for security in light of what happened in Paris, but to be honest a body search on myself at a recent home game managed to miss a small jar of lipsil that could quite easily have been a device of some description.

A boycott is pointless unless the majority(75%+) take part & that'll never happen.

I wasn't searched at all on the way into The West Ham game in Boxing Day. The big security thing only seemed to be that one game!

I'd boycott but still go somewhere instead. Imagine if everyone turned up at Walsall's ground, Drayton Manor Zoo or Don Amott's Leisure Kingdom, just off the Eggington Road, Derby.  Just confuse the fuck out of 'em i say

Lerner out.

A proper owner would care enough to arrange full cavity searches for all ticket holders.

Boycotting games won't work because you need a critical mass of supporters to participate or it's a damp squib and I don't think the numbers will stack up. Don't buy a programme, drinks or food in the ground. Don't buy club merchandise. Don't give them another penny until Lerner goes.

Lets not be ridiculous about this, eh? I was pointing out the pointlessness of this "security". The object in question was in my jacket pocket, BTW.

Can you use Lipsil in the manufacture of suicide bombs and if so,  is there a non-terror alternative the club can recommend?

Fuck knows, but this jar was not much smaller than a "det" (explosive device used on the railways) and possibly other items of a similar nature. I expected, with enhanced security, for it to be found and to at least be questioned on what it was. It was a winter coat that I'd not worn in a while and I'd forgotten about the item in an external pocket until it was too late.

Where's this so called Chairman? How can it take so long?

Probably having second thoughts about joining this shambles.

If it's anyone with any business and football acumen  (not likely given the bozos who will be conducting the interview process) theyd think twice about joining a nose diving organisation.

We weren't searched going into the Trinity for the West Ham game; I had a flask the size of a World War Two Luftwaffe bomb hidden in my blanket.
