Wenger Out protest thread

[GranadaJoe]

Pictures show that of the 14,000 Chileans who said they would march to get Alexis to leave us, only 5 turned up on the day (and that's 5 Chileans, not 5,000).

I hope our protest goes a bit better.

Protesting outside the ground but not protesting in the ground seems counter productive to me, and for the media 'luvvies' it will smack of fickleness, happy to protest but also want to be entertained by the scinitllating football on show

Unfortunately the PR department will spin that out in about 5 seconds flat.... 'small group of protestors outside the ground, but as can be seen there was nothing but loyal fans enjoying the 'Dunkirk' victory our amazing manager and players put on to narrowly miss out within the stadium'

As people said this has to be done smart with no room for it to be spun out by the Club or his media darlings, and by 'Darlings' i mean sycophantic cnuts!!

I thought the point was that the majority of the protesters aren't going in? I know I'm not.

i dont think there is an easy answer to this.
I will be one of the protesters outside of the ground who wouldnt dream of getting a ticket for this dead rubber of a match.

however the fact is that this match will be full of "football tourists" who will have a ticket - who will not protest.
Gooner Muzz is correct in saying that the media will focus on these "fans" inside the ground.

It is a dilemma - of course back in the days when football was so cheap and you could just turn up on the night there would be protests outside of the ground that would then continue inside the ground. This just isn't possible though these days, and why it is so difficult to bring forcible change.

The best result that the protest could achieve would be vast banks of empty seats in the stadium for this non event. Sadly as posted elsewhere once the tickets went on ticket exchange they were snapped up by tourists etc. So you are correct in saying that the media will look at the full seats and the manufactured attendance figure rather than asking why genuine fans either protested or stayed away.

One angle i will pursue and urge others to do the same , is if we engage with with supportive fans outside, who still have tickets encourage them to ( politely of course ) go into the match 10 mins late,for once the issue of supporting the team is not relevant due to the 1st leg score so we might get a fair few takers

Spot on, Pete. While this is primarily a demonstration outside the ground, given the match circumstances it presents a rare opportunity to persuade at least some people who want change but not enough to miss a whole game that it's worth sacrificing a few minutes for the greater good. If we wanted to be organised about it, we'd get a small handful of people stationed outside the entrances encouraging people to take part in the fun before going in fashionably late.

I am season ticket holder so I was always planning to go in. Don't mind going in late if there is enough support for it.
I remember the Leicester home game last season where they said do a joint protest about the kick off time and go in 10 minutes late. At kickoff, their section was completely full....
