Paul_W Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Going through the board in the past few days there's been plenty of talk once again of protests against Ellis/the board. Which if any would you choose to back ? Or any new ideas ? ........................ I would like to see some kind of action and I will participate as others on here will do, so can we back one idea over another ? or shall we not bother ? lets not make this into a slagging match guys!

wazzap24 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I am saying a combination of various actions over a decent period of time. All the ideas are good as is the current letter/email campaign. Easy to say on a message board but I would happily attend any organised event.

Oaks Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I dont mind, unless people take it all the way. If we sign(for instance) Yakubu, i still want people to protest. Its my main irritation on these things is Doug does just enough to keep people quite. He was on the ropes last time,and came out with O'Leary. This is not enough. We should have got him out when Taylor left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomIsADeftone Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I think a major £ sign protest has its rewards, the last time we had a good £ sign protest we got Angel. It's been proven in time that this was a good thing, Another strong protest would hopefully bring about the same reaction from Ellis this time. Although it wouldn't solve the major problem, it would at least please DO'L and keep him happy short-term. I dont mind, unless people take it all the way.

He was on the ropes last time,and came out with O'Leary. This is not enough. We should have got him out when Taylor left. I'd also go along with this.

tricella Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 For me it would be the "Red Card" or "Club for sale"...both is good. Why not use both?? One massive action...for every home game we have left in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RantinRob Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I voted "none" I mean, why bother? It won't make any difference to the old word removed, he's not going to change his tight arsed ways because we wave some cards at him. It worked once, it won't again And the apathetic "supporters" won't want to know anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_W Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 lots of None's there, good to see we're being as apathetic as ever, maybe we do have the Chairman we deserve ? :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I went for the £ signs as it has most chance of success as it is possible that more money will be made available, whereas the others won't make much difference to Doug as he won't be bothered by them.

usvilla Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I would go for empty seats with pound signs on them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I would go for empty seats with pound signs on them ! The best way would be to forget about the pound signs completly and just have the empty seats from no one going to the game and that would be most effective but you wouldnt be able to get enough people to do it.

truevillainswantellisout Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 The £ sign protests will be useless this time. We havent got a home game left before the transfer window shuts and after that £lies can tell us what ever he likes regarding transfers in the summer.

whip Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 the best idea would surely be to fill VP for every game between now and the end of the season. sing your hearts out, back the lads and help the team get up the table. you can't, and you never will do anything that will change the mind of an 80 year old bloke who's set in his ways. you know it, i know it and deep down we all know it. so just support what we do have. it's an old idea i know but it's one i quite like.

Surely with all the quotes from the players and the management then by protesting along the same lines as them in wanting further investment in players is in fact supporting the team. By doing nothing is in fact NOT supporting the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
