Saw an idea about waving white flags at Necastle.  Would be quite a site.  Surely it would get a message to the board even if they then decide not to do anything.

Given the cost and practical difficulties with this - how about a variation on the theme. Everyone brings in a white handkerchief and waves it vigorously? The stewards couldn't stop us doing that.

Good idea this, especially after the free gift against Bradford.

I think this would be an excellent idea, it would certainly get the media attention that we need to see the mess the club are in at the moment.

Everyone sees us waving our flags or hankies, and then what?

The Newcastle fans hit us with a chorus of "we'll meet again"?  I just remembered that they won't be feeling very sympathetic towards us after we sent them down a couple of years back.

I have often thought about how to let the club know we're unhappy without getting any fan into trouble and without hurting the club/team financially...
The one thing I keep thinking is every fan to keep silent for the first five mins of the game, just total silence....

But it could be taken in the wrong context basically the fans have given up the fight!

I think people would take the point as intended.

Sorry, by that I don't mean with hankies, I mean if they were proper white flags.
