Roll call for 9 minute protest

I wasn't gonna bother doing it afterall I'd served my time outside Maine Road many a time trying to oust Swales but we got in the ground, met a few blues and then my wife said you've gotta stick it to the man and so we got ourselves a pint and set up camp. 1 nil to the empty seats rang around the back of the lower East Stand block 106 and typically we scored early on. There was a very good turn out and hopefully the club take note.

will probably get some stick for this but thought that was pretty pointless tonight.

Personally think they’ve jumped the gun and should have waited before the season ticket prices come out first, and combined protests for the pricing and reselling of tickets.

I realize the main issue is tickets being sold via viagogo but we already have 8 other 3rd party resellers.

I think my response is pointless!! :0)

IMO ??

Because despite everything that has been said on this thread, you still don’t get the point of the protest???

Viagogo was not the main issue, it was just the final straw, that broke the camel’s back, as the phrase goes??

If you are waiting for ever for everything to be perfect before you get to protest exactly what you want??

You may never get there??!! :0(

Nope. Needs doing now. My lad lives in Surrey and can’t get to midweek games so put his ticket on the exchange. Last Thursday I looked on the planner to see if I could buy it and couldn’t so assumed it had sold. It hadn’t which suggests they’re already throwing tickets at viagogo before they look after their own. It’s bollox and they need calling out at every opportunity.
I posted it earlier but a total boycott of the concourse outlets might be a really strong message which doesn’t affect the team.

I must admit there were much more than I expected, I will hold my hands up I got that wrong as didn't expect that many. I didn't do it but respect those that did.
 
I’m not really bothered about protesting, I couldn’t even be arsed about the Swales Out as the Osbourne was beckoning but it was pretty damn impressive watching you scruffy fuckers come in and making the atmosphere.
Well done lads and lasses. And I mean that.

Any possibility of doing a 9 minutes sit in after the match so I can get on the fucking tram?
 
Well done everyone who took part.

The irony is, we missed 9 mins but I could have easily have missed the remaining 81 minutes.

If that’s the Disneyland, Soriano and Co want and the product the Premier League want to produce then they can have it.

I feel sorry for those who have spent hundreds on these touting sites to be met with that experience both on the pitch and the atmosphere in the stands.
