Roll call for 9 minute protest

[blue b4 the moon]

No.

7/8 hours out of the house and I'm not blowing 9% of game time.

From the movement of us fans late arrivals, it'll not even register.

Happy to sing "Soriano is a tosser" etc or even chuck a tennis ball on the pitch if I could reach from half way up 315.

What have I missed what are we protesting about, is it the lack of chips again

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

115 - Definitely :0)

May the Apathetic come together to fight for the rights of the Moaning many, who just can’t be bothered to do anything!!??? :0)

I’m going to watch the team and support them as usual
Re the protest when it becomes unaffordable or too difficult to obtain tickets I simply won’t go

Fair enough. In my view it’s the chance to do something about it, rather than just accept/ wait to be priced out.

If we don’t do anything soon huge numbers of our fanbase won’t be able to afford to attend city matches

 

[Tarzan41]

Yes. 317. Going to be tight on that concourse if many join in.

 

[jrb]

115 normally, but relocated to SSL3 for the singing section.

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

329, FOC, reporting for duty.

So basically even though others are already been priced out, you dont give a shit about them enough to give up 9 minutes of your time, and not only that but actively hurt the legitimacy of their protest because it doesn't effect you yet.
People like you are why the world has turned to shit. The "I'm alright Jack" mob.

 

[blueparrot]

What are you not 'protesting' about?

Protesting I guess

Well why not try doing something that just might prevent that scenario?

 

[mexico1970]

Can I still join in if I am wearing my half and half scarf and bag from the club shop?

Better get the nod from @Damocles first before the world turns to shit..

 

[Eccles Blue]

I’d join in if it were at a time that would be noticed.
But as people are still arriving up to 10/15 minutes after the match starts a protest at that time won’t work, in my humble opinion. Sorry.

It's getting so ridiculously easy to spot the Supporters Club gang from a mile away now.

"I think it will fail so I won't try to make a positive change" is the stupidest thing I've ever read.

 

[stonerblue]

I presume you've not been reading the forum much.
And its not a "protest", its a protest.

Right, i think i'm up to speed now.
You've bought a ticket for the game and your 'protest' is, going to the game?

I feel you may be right Eccles, would have been better during the match in my opinion, I’ll still stay on the concourse though.

Obviously not that easy.
I've never been in a supporters club. I get my tickets for face value from other st holders that can't attend.

 

[Damocles]

No, the protest is to stay out of the stands for a few minutes as a visual protest that is clearly identified by the CEO, the Chairman, the media etc.

Being against this is the lowest IQ shit possible. THIS BENEFITS YOU. If the fan groups are successful, YOU pay less aswell not just them. On what planet does actively wanting to pay more make sense?

Or perhaps you've become so pointlessly cynical like Eccles Blue that the very notion that you might be able to effect change in the world is a foreign idea. That's why Peter Swales is still in charge

 

[Eccles Blue]

"I think it will fail so I won't try to make a positive change" is the stupidest thing I've ever read.

Tough. I’m entitled to my opinion. I’ve been on enough protests in my lifetime to know well organised and ones that will be successful. Sorry @Damocles I respect your postings in the main but that one I have to disagree with. :-)
