Protest?

Massive no from me. It isn't a big enough issue for enough fans. It will be a flop and probably be mocked.

Don't do it.

Not being funny but if you were on the verge of being priced out you'd have a different viewpoint, pal, and most other SC holders would too.

Bluemoon is our(City's) biggest social media platform for supporters to have their say and it's fair to say most natives on here are getting fed up with annual price hikes.

The only way to let the club know is in the stadium and banners saying 'don't price loyal supporters out' will help get the message across. We could fund a plane with a banner to fly over the stadium with a message that Khaldoon and company can't fail to notice.

Someone mentioned staying behind after a game to show our discontent, not a bad idea. Maybe pick a game to boycott and stay at home and watch the game on TV, but leave your seat empty so the club can see.

Those 'i'm alright Jack' types maybe alright for now but for how long? The only way to get the club to take notice is to do something about it, otherwise talk is cheap.

Put up or shut up - as they say...
 
Ultimately our success has bred shit loads of more supporters.

The club know that if someone wraps in their season card, there will be someone waiting to snap it up.

All about supply and demand. The demand is definitely there. Just like people moan at concerts and other public events at the prices of drinks. Whilst people are willingly purchasing the goods for the price stated they will continue to charge extortionate amounts.

Bums on seats is all that matters to the club. They don't care if you've been supporting us since the main road era or your mum and dad bought you a shirt for Christmas last year.

Really?

Am I the only one thinking what the fuck?

Just like everything else on the world inflation hits every business, including football clubs.

The amount of money sheikh mansour has poured into the club and you're talking about walking out at a game in protest?

Listen I know not everyone is made of money and yes the working class fans who are part of the furniture here are struggling but unfortunately times change and things evolve and move on.

But a protest? It's a no from me.

No you're not the only one. The idea of a "protest" is ridiculous and would get no traction whatsoever.

Yeah, but once we’ve paid off the solar panels, the prices should come down!

Protest in another way. Banners, and as somewhat suggested a drone or plane flying over. A petition with thousands of signatures as well. Plus a song sang throughout the match. For example. We really, really won't be here,we really really won't be here, if the prices rise way too much we will not be here.

I'm not saying "I'm alright Jack". I'm saying the idea of a protest is fucking ridiculous, especially the one suggested. Noboy will even notice.

Everyone in the world knows that working class fans are being priced out of football. It's happening at every club and we are far from the worst.

There is an answer and it comes with the opening of the new stand. If fans want to make any meaningful change they eed to get together, form a protest group, get a leader, get everyone on board and then engage with the club and media to make some noise. Push the club to make the new stand vocal and cheap. A thread on fucking bluemoon will acheive nothing. You'd get about 50 people walking out and nobody would bat an eyelid.

Remember the last "Boycott" of the Charity Shield. We actuually sold more tickets than the season before but the team had to play with no vocal backing. It was an own goal and this idea would be even worse.
