I am starting to get really fucked off with this leaving early protest already. It, as I knew it inevitably would, is bringing out the worst in the "better fan than you" types.

I don't know how many people I have seen ranting on social media about how anyone that doesn't walk out is a disgrace and how leaving early will create, amongst other things, global headlines.

All it will do is cause rows between the fans, the club still pocket the cash anyway and the message is lost when a few people bugger off from a half empty ground.

I'm an apathetic lethargic sheep and not a proper supporter for errm staying and supporting rather than following some other people out early.

So be it.

I understand why people want to do it. I don't want to do it.

I've said it before, these coordinated, planned protests rarely work because we all have different opinions and approaches. The best method is the 'organic' natural protest where fans have just had enough and don't turn up in the first place. This was evidenced against Man City and will be repeated as this dreadful season just gets worse and worse, reaching a climax of apathy once we are mathematically relegated.

People honestly think Randy Lerner gives a shit?

You bought your match day ticket, a pie, a pint and a program. He got what he wanted, and you missed 16+ minutes of a match you paid for.

Nothing is going to change the way the club is run.

It's about 74 days to the end of the season - I'm leaving now.

If you think supporting players that by and large don't give a toss, over your fellow fans is the way forward then by all means.

but this site has lost massive credibility for me, we won't get the media exposure next year that we currently enjoy in the PL, mass walkouts will make global headlines, you stood there looking glum will do naff all, I'm sorry you should be doing what's best and that's making a statement shoulder to shoulder with your fellow fans.

As is you could have thrown considerable weight behind and really contributed, now you've just contributed to the apathy and disunity among the fans, good job Lerner and co must be grateful.

There's a surprise. I love it when "me and my twelve Twitter followers" equates to "everybody".

I travel a decent lick from the north for every home game, so I don't want to be missing minutes of the game in protest.

I.like the idea of some collective chucking of the Bright Future scarfs though.
