FINAL GAME BOYCOTT

[Legion]

Plus after the game I could add items to my collection!

Perhaps leaving them at William McGregor's feet may be an easier & more symbolic option?

Fans leaving memorabilia here would actually be an easy thing to do. I also think it would be very symbolic and something that could grow quickly. Doesn't just have to be a scarf could be anything. Think people would take photos in front of it and would get a lot of coverage.

I like this idea.

So do I and you can buy it all back from me on ebay a few days later.

Seriously though it's a good idea, the problem is that it's not going to take long or be difficult for the club to just keep removing whatever is put there, especially as it's on their property. So within minutes it could be taken away and no one is the wiser. So no publicity etc. It's a good idea that needs those things thought about imo.

What about if it's co-ordinated to say, 15 mins before kick off?

Ladies and gentlemen, I've solved the problem.  Last game of the season we all turn up in red jackets, white jodpers and armed with a big fuck off horn.  We can then hound the Fox out for 90 minutes.

Job done.

Which is slightly more sensible than the mock funeral idea.

I've already repented of that very vague suggestion.

I agree but I'm not so sure they'd be able to just start scooping stuff up as its quite congested round there anyway without people coming to leave things.

The sensible thing would be to do it in agreement with the club - fans could make the protest and any shirts could be donated to a clothing charity afterwards.

Fans get the symbolic gesture, we get the coverage, everyone knows we're unhappy but no unseemly wrestling with club officials over Villa teddy bears and the like, a charity benefits and does the recycling for the club at the same time.

So we ask the club for permission to protest against them? this thread is turning into an episode of Dad's Army

[PeterWithesShin]

The fact it gets very congested there could be a reason used by the club to keep removing stuff, "health and safety innit guv". I'm also dubious that the club would 'support' something that is a protest against them.

Yes, and then we give them teddy bears to show them we mean business.

[Kingthing]

Yep, I agree, Boycott the Newcastle game but everyone turn up and watch me in the Lions match afterwards for free, that would be a slap in the face financially.
