Wenger Out protest thread

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

We were gonna put up the Gazidis quote, various pics of banners etc. All on a digital loop. I was gonna get speakers and do Wenger Out! stuff.
As there were only a few of us cost was prohibitive.

Another fantastic idea we had was...,.......

Hire an open-top bus. Last day of season drive it round with a mock"top four trophy". Banners hanging off the sides Singing WengerOut songs. Now that'd be mint!
Feckkin' ELL Mate! That IS Genius!!! Ohhh! What fun that would be. Sounds like a Plan worth Dong!

That is a great idea. I'm sure someone could do a few of those yellow Advanced Warning of Road Closure signs and stick on some message about it being like a real trophy. Put them up on the street lights a few days before and then get the bus out on the day. Its an asolutely wonderful idea and would get a lot of coverage as it's amusing but spot-on.

Sold my tickets key for Bayern but I'm there tomorrow and definitely joining in the protest. My grandad in his 80s is coming along too. Just want Wenger out!

Is it bad that I'm looking forward more to the protest than the game itself? ☺️

That bus is a great idea! Best thing about it too is that the 20 *cough* of us who made the first march will get first dibs on tickets! Seriously though like a lot of you I thought Tuesday was just about the best night I've had as an Arsenal fan for ages! Well done to all of the 350+ that made it all such a great success but in particular those of you who helped organise it all. Heres hoping for another great turn out tomorrow!

As Jumpers for Goalposts said I think Beachballs would be a great idea, especially if it was possible to get Wenger Out on them, imagine hundreds of them at an away game or at the Emirates, wouldnt be hard to smuggle them into the ground either

Whatever we go for, whether it's plane banner or helicopter banner or bus or whatever, if someone starts an account on PayPal or just giving or wherever, I will definitely stuck a few quid in.

Anyone know if we could do a hot air balloon over the ground? It would be fucking funny and totally different. The sight of a few Gooners floating over the ground in a balloon basket with a Wenger Out banner would be magnificent.

I've also thought about a leaflet drop onto the pitch from a plane or helicoprer during a match. Is that at all feasible?

First time poster, long time lurker.

Only issue with the open top bus is that we need to get top 4 to get the trophy! Can't see it to be honest but it is a brilliant idea :)

Some great ideas here. Love the banners and the videos from Tuesday.

Wenger out!

You're not alone mate. I feel there will be an element of emptiness if you do the protest and don't go on to watch the game.
