each to their own and fair play for doing something but what is this going to achieve?
I've seen it reported in mainstream media so its achieving more than doing nothing.

Tomorrow's weather forecast is in the mainstream media. I still don't know what the ultimate aim of these protests is.

Tomorrow's weather forecast is always in the mainstream media - this isn't which is precisely the aim of these protests.

Their aim is to get into the papers? If so, well done them.

Dave these walkouts/protests come with specific actions, as shown in the open letter to Randy Lerner, that we are asking him to undertake.

Firstly that Randy becomes a more motivated seller and prices the club at a level it will sell and also ensures the person or persons he sells to have the where with all and vision to restore it to at the very least a club that can hold its own in the top flight. In the mean time we are calling on Lerner to commit to invest in the squad and to ensure people are brought in above the manager who have the expertise and experience and who know what tools are required for a manager to succeed. Until we get these appointments right we will continue to fail to employ a manager who is capable of realising the clubs potential or who will have the means to do so.

Which is all well and good, but how exactly are you going to get him to do all that?

Might want to call that out a bit more in future statements. I think thats very important indeed and does not come across in the Mail piece. Just fyi. Good luck, I hope something comes of it!

I think they effectively want him to give the club away.

so until they wrote the letter no one knew what a clusterfuck the club was?

walkouts, black balloons, tennis balls whatever all highligts we are not happy but a letter to the owner saying we are shit what are you going to do will acheve sod all. we already know he isnt a commited seller and he hasnt got a clue when it comes to running a football club and as much as we may hate it as the owner he can do whatever he feels like which is exactly what he is doing.

the only thing he will notice is people not renewing and buying merchandise
