Liverpool protest ?

[amfy]

The more I think about this, the worse the idea gets.

Far from stopping in-fighting and uniting fans - I am imagining some fans arriving (especially those who arrive close to kick off/a little late) and wanting to get straight to their seats, being blocked by fans who are waiting til the 8th minute to go out, and fights breaking out in the crowded concourse.

Meanwhile - out on The Holte, it will look pretty much like any other week. It'll be reasonably full because it is padded out by plastic scouters, and some people will arrive 5-10 minutes late. It really won't be impactful.

I thought the 11th minute round of applause for our league goals was a better idea.

What if we score in the first 10 mins do we move it to the 12th minute?

I think most people will faint from shock in this scenario.

Lets just hope we aren't three up after 8 minutes we will look right morons.

I think I'd be able to live with the embarrassment!

I think someone should knock up a "Don't tell Steve Emerson i'm here" banner.

The more I think about this , the more I think fair play to those doing something. Don't agree with the 8th minute for 8 seasons thing .
Just singing lambert out and sacked in the morning , you don't know what you're doing etc works for me and the press latch onto that nicely .

So some people think it's a good idea to delay going in, then thousands all crowd the stairways at the same time, creating a crush in the process. Against Liverpool. I think this is possibly the worst idea for a protest anyone could conceive of.

I'll be taking my seat at my normal time, support the team, and if we get the same old turgid dross I'll let my feelings be known at the end.

I think it is a great idea, it is the only way to send the board a clear message.
Inter fans began to desert the stadium and the obtained that the club sacked Walter Mazzarri, an average manager who had just had his contract renewed for inexplicable reasons.
Fingers  Crossed.
Villa fans are the best. . .

The more I think about this the more concerned I get.
Yes I am certain Lambert needs to go and The prudent thing for Lerner to do would be to replace him this week.This would have the effect of galvanising the support behind the team and Liverpool would be facing something like the atmosphere created for Bent's debut against Man City.
Sadly we all know Lerner won't act and Liverpool will face a very divided ,confused and leaderless club.
I'm actually quite worried from a safety point of view and also the damage a poisonous atmosphere will cause to our chances of staying up.
Unbelievable how badly Lerner has been as the 'custodian' of our wonderful club,it's tragic.

Does anyone remember the red card protest in about 1989, it was, I think, against Man U 0-0, can't remember what it was about though.

This protest won't work, it'll be half arsed and make us look bellends. I prefer a large banner with "we're shit...get over it"

Does anybody know the capacity of The Holte end please ?

Was it for an identity card scheme?

Identity cards. The high water mark of the supporter movement; that was my Scargill at Saltley Gates moment.
