It's all coming across as a bit Princess Diana to me, clubs get relegated every year.

How? Unless there is a mass outbreak of public crying and maudlin behaviour it's nowt like it. People are pissed off and angry at how it's been allowed to happen, it's not like those with the ability to prevent it happening hadn't been warned.

Yes. If it is coming across as a bit Price Dianna to you, it is because you are a bit Elton John.

The rest of us just want to kill somebody with an axe and play with their blood.

No. They're starting to like the sound of their own voice.

Or they're doing something which has had a modicum of success. Last Saturday's campaign was successful and picked up by just about every media outlet. You hoping to get someone to notice you by coming out with this comment? It smacks of 'please please look at me'. If anyone is liking the sound of their own voice it's you. You may not like it, you may not support it, and you may even be right in your negativity - but why be snide?

Well said.

After watching a documentary on the Second World War, I'm going to build a full size glider during the game and fly over the pitch in the 74th minute.
Ah, you have a plan to escape.

Yes, because when Princess Diana died the general public were all ripped off to the tune of £30-40 a week, frequently humiliated, made the butt of every shit joke going and habitually denigrated by wankers like Ian Wright.

Robbie Savage wasn't predicting her death on Celebrity Deathwatch for three years running either.

It's just too confusing.

Originally it was out the door on 74 for 3 games, then we stopped for a game, then we did banners out on 74, and now it's something else.

The Guardian actually reported that the banners thing went well, but that no one left. No one was supposed to leave because the banner thing replaced the leaving, but that part of the plan obviously got a bit lost in translation for some.

Now we're going to keep the banners, but come in a bit late, which we have tried before & it was a non event even with a bigger crowd.

I'd just say they need to stop tinkering with it so much. It's bad enough that every suggestion is met with loads of people suggesting something else, without the people that are organising it changing it every 5 minutes to add to the puzzle.

I have no problem with people who want to protest, but you don't have to dream up something new every week.

Also - the trophy we won 7 times? It's now awarded to the team who wins the division we're headed for. So the whole premise, convoluted as it was anyway, is basically flawed.

Anyone who feels this is a bit Princess Diana should imagine the smug look on Robbie Savage's face when relegation is confirmed.

Savage's face is more Camilla Parker Bowles.

If only we could break into their cars and plant stink bombs which go off when they reach a speed of 74 mph on their way anywhere for ever and ever or at the very least 6 years. 

Sadly I bet none of them drive Volkswagens

The protests on Saturdaybrought a lot of media coverage. Fair play to anybody who made an effort re banners and posters. A lot more people are now aware of how awful we are and how we feel about it. Plenty of fans have remarked on it to me since Saturday, even people who don't know a lot about football.

The board have a duty to act quickly in identifying the new manager, and in making fans believe that we are starting to move in the right direction.

Well said Amfy.

Changing things each game just confuses the matter.

Great idea, let's recreate the closing scene of The Walking Dead finale
Spoiler for Hiden:
with the players lined up around the centre-circle...who wants to be Negan ?
