For fans of any club who actually go to the games the only vote they have is with their feet . Whether this is a total boycott of a game or walking in late as Leicester fans were encouraged to do recently at Arsenal as a protest to the game being moved at short notice at Sky's behest , or The Liverpool fans walkout on 74 mins to protest against a ludicrous ticket price.
We have a more complex problem hence the seeming disunity amongst us. What no-one can argue is things are as bad at our club in most of our living memories.
I still take my hat of to the German clubs demonstations against problems or conditions they don't like, the Bayern fans at Arsenal , the fans with the arrow running behind the goal as their team couldn't score , or my favourite one that the Dortmund fans did with the tennis balls.
I would prefer the latter before the Everton game, high profile should get good media coverage and we could then do the only positive thing left to us and support the team during the match, something we are as good as and fans are provided the team reciprocates.

Lerner masks with the word out printed on the forehead. Printed on on A4 piece of paper and cut out, that should be easy enough the do, and would look good on tv.

It makes it sound as if we're having a protest against bingo.

Long shot, but what if we're winning 1-0?

A protest especially on a Game televised on SKY makes sense.

It isn't on Sky is it?

Norwich-Chelsea is the live game.

Good point. I thought so too. Someone mentioned to me yesterday that the game was televised.

Protests are very difficult in football because most things eventually hurt the thing the fans love, their club.

We don't take shots, long or otherwise. And we are rarely winning 1-0.

Firstly I'm not making a 170 mile round trip on a Tuesday night to then walk out after 74 mins, and secondly I don't get this walk out bollocks anyway.For years we have laughed at Small Heath through their hard times,with their shit attendances, and them not going until Carson Yeung  leaves the club.Now by the looks of it, many now want to go to down the same route.By all means don't buy a burger or a drink or anything from the club shop, but no one is going to pay a blind bit of notice to a low gate, or a walk out with 15 minutes to go for a midweek game against Everton.

The best way is boycott the games for the rest of the season, I've no respect for the players out boozing the night before a game, squaring up to each other at Bodymoor Heath. If we hit Lerner in the pocket he might just try harder to sell the club for whatever it's worth.

Loads of people leave with around 15 minutes to go anyway, so who'll notice the difference?

We'd do better to just make loads of noise at the end of the game, as what happened spontaneously at the end of the Liverpool match.

These days there's enough empty seats for everyone to make a similar racket during the full 90.

I'm with the noise making.
Noise can tell those in power just how pissed off and angry we are

If our performance is anything like the last home game then forcing people to wait until the 74th minute before clearing off is just cruel.
