Out the door on 74

[saunders_heroes]

Walking out on 74 would be a complete embarrassment to us. We have, I hope, much more class than that

It's a protest, why would it be embarrassing?

For me, there's no class in sitting quietly and accepting your fate like a boiling frog in a saucepan.

Hear hear!

I've not read all this thread, so can someone please explain what aim of the protest is.

There isn't one it seems.  But apparently there doesn't need to be one, people just want to let the board know we are shit and not very happy.  Personally I suspect they are aware of this.

Right. So, you think they may have noticed already? Fair point then.

I'm just guessing like.  They may be completely oblivious, but my spidey sense tells me they've probably got a reasonable idea the fans are a bit disappointed.

Anything that brings attention to the damage Lerner has done to our club is fine by me.

And do you think the media will report it as a protest against the owners or as a protest against being shit?

As far as I can see, the media have already started reporting about it being a protest against the poor running of the Club.

So it's brought the poor running of the club to the media's attention. That'll be well worth the effort then. I was a bit concerned that they may have thought everything was going swimmingly.

Hear hear!

I shall be standing, singing loudly while applauding those who walk out - all bases covered...

The walkout will be supported if we are losing. People will be less likely to leave if the side is winning. I realize it's all looking inevitable but one win and other results being favourable brings that word hope back into play and fans will be less likely to jeopardize things if things are going well.

A walkout in a stadium with 15,000 empty seats at kick off for a match that isn't televised sadly isn't going to have the effect people are hoping.

It may not seem like much, but the game is televised outside of the UK, and more importantly is on in the US where Lerner can see and hear what the fans think of him in glorious surround-sound and HD technicolor. Of course that assumes he cares enough to be watching, which is probably not the case.

According to Doug Ellis he watches every game

Do you honestly believe Randy thinks it's all ok?  And a few hundred people walking out 15 minutes early is going to completely change his view of the club?

He says the club's up for sale.  The only way he'll sell it quicker is if he drops his asking price by 10s of millions of pounds.  He's not going to suddenly decide to give up on that cash because of a half arsed protest on a wet Tuesday night.  If there's no protest at the next home game this will all be forgotten.

Like someone else said the other day, if people want to do it, then fine. If they don't, then that's fine as well. Personally, I'm not sure what good its going to do.

Whether it's been thought out properly or not, whether it will have any effect or none whatsoever, whether people choose to take part or not, it's fans saying "We've had enough of this shit". And why shouldn't they?

Said it before but I reckon the real protest will be when relegation is nailed on. And I don't think it will be a friendly one
