Re: Wenger Out protest, Tuesday 7th March.

Post by Gunner Rob »

an absolutely fantastic job the organisers are doing for this march tomorrow.

ok here is my issue with it - why are not more Arsenal supporters groups getting behind it?
why for example are Red Action not wanting to publicise it?
they always have a large number of people at the Rocket pre game so they should be telling/tweeting people to join it.
instead I have just seen a tweet from them which reads
REDaction Gooners‏ @REDactionAFC 48m48 minutes ago
More
Rocket opens at 4pm tomorrow, and is open again post match. No food tomorrow, but match buildup on TV, and £12.50 San Miguel after game.


now this is the thing - if these such groups are STILL not getting involved then the march I am afraid is destined to fail.
if it really is the majority of supporters wanting Wenger out then surely there should be a more unified fanbase ?

Tbh they fcuked up the last protest by coming in and taking over, and everyone has been very vocal about not wanting them to get involved this time around - lets be honest, would you want redaction getting involved ?

RedAction are more interested in doing dog banners than getting involved in real issues.

Perfect, mate. Absolutely perfect. Well done.
Just as an aside, is it not now time for the plane flying over with the banner?

RedAction are more interested in doing dog banners than getting involved in real issues.

but their apathy is a reflection of the fanbase so it hardly inspires confidence that the protest will be very significant tomorrow evening.
maybe the club are correct in their assertion that the only objection to Wenger as manager is on social media.

I know twatter is the home for the deranged but I've seen a few threats being made against people who are going to be protesting tomorrow night.

Beware of the brain washed sheep and stay safe everyone.

How on earth can people resort to violence to defend a man who secretly despises, undermines and constantly belittles them...the mind boggles.Maybe the club, what is left of it, actually deserve him.

if the protest is big then expect the club to disrupt/infiltrate it
if the protest is small then expect the club to spin a PR story about there being very little opposition to Wenger

not trying to be defeatist but I imagine that's what the protest will be up against tomorrow.

No doubt the North Korean, sorry Arsenal Press Office will try to quash the protest with a statement tomorrow calling for harmony and for fans to Unite and get behind the team, followed by one of Wenger's android puppets claiming "we can over-turn 4 goal deficit".... you know it's coming!
