Re: Wenger Out protest, Saturday 11th March 4pm
What are thoughts on doing something inside the stadium as well next home game ?
Re: Wenger Out protest, Saturday 11th March 4pm
Long time lurker, never been so proud marching with everyone today 
Finally found a reconnection with top blokes (and women). Let's keep it up. Wenger out!

If we have to do something with the team bus, so be it. I couldn't care less whether we win or lose games. If he achieves top 4 and FA cup, he's here for another 2 years. I want the old senile fool gone at all costs.

The thing that amazes me with the marches is the number of people filming on their phones like it is some sort of freakshow.
A few even clapped as we walked past, I told them if they agree with message to join in. Of course they didn't...

Some already do. Rules are simple, no banners until the final whistle. The trouble is we end up too spread out throughout the stadium.neasdengooner wrote:What are thoughts on doing something inside the stadium as well next home game ?

Can only echo the sentiments posted so far. That gave me goosebumps today. A feeling of adrenaline I haven't felt at (or in the vicinity of, I didn't actually enter the Bowl) a football match in years. Nothing should be off limits now. Looking forward to walking down Wembley Way with the banners flying high. Then walking back up it again towards the tube station once the game starts

Mate I couldn't (but could) seeing all the gormless zombies filming us as we got to the end of Avnell road. Sorry if I'm quoting properly - bit new to this!NickF wrote:The thing that amazes me with the marches is the number of people filming on their phones like it is some sort of freakshow.

Re: Wenger Out protest, Saturday 11th March 4pm
Here's my summary of today
Positives
1. Better coordination and pace upfront was decent. Stevers really did a solid job.
2. More creative banners.
3. Going up the stairs was great. So loud. Stewards attempted to search and then stood aside when they realised what it was. Didn't anyone from the club tell them we were coming?
4. Old bill were once again very helpful. Before we set off they asked us which way we were going and then tried to clear the path.
5. Choke on your caviar being sang by directors entrance and people displaying Wenger out banners on the windows.
6. Massive impact on the media once again. Photos are all over the news.
Negatives
1. Still no megaphone. We need this urgently. Are people fearful the old bill will think they are in charge. We should purchase one out of the funds if possible.
2. I'm sorry but one or two idiots at the front reacted to provocation. The very young lad at the front with the beer. I found out his name was Ben and I think he was drunk. At some point he was trading blows with one of our lads.
3. Too many banners got in each other's way
4. Some people didn't know the route and at the start tried to head the opposite direction. Even when we got to the bridge they thought we were heading for the south bridge. I was very surprised by this. Are people not reading the programme?
5. Not enough numbers for a weekend. I was at the front so couldn't really tell. Singing definitely weaker than Tuesday.
We need to keep stepping things up, the numbers will grow and Le dinosaur will eventually get the message. Look forward to the plane at Brom and then back again for City. Happy to do something inside the stadium but we will be too sparse to make it work? Don't underestimate the AKBs, they are a nasty bunch.

Re: Wenger Out protest, Saturday 11th March 4pm
Well said, General. I agree with you.
Having looked at a few videos, the march was bigger than I thought, seeing as I was up the front with OBG, but was still not much bigger than Tuesday's. I totally agree with banners getting in each other's way. We got squeezed out a fair bit, especially when we reached Cashburton. Very frustrating. The bloke at the front (who nearly kicked off) kept condensing us too much on Gillespie Road.
Perhaps next time the banners should be spread down the line, rather than all bunched up together at the front. This will require small breaks in the crowd to keep the banners readable (pretty much like Tuesday's march). I also agree that the singing wasn't as good as Tuesday's effort, although that did set a high bar. It seems we need that megaphone after all.
We need to firm up a time for the next march for the Manchester City game on April 2nd

Re: Wenger Out protest, Saturday 11th March 4pm
he is soooo fucking desperate to stay.
as well as we have done this week, it's still going to be an almighty task to ensure he doesn't sign.

Our efforts have to be stepped up...
he's a *word censored* of the highest order he really is..The second that he gets a couple of decent results the flip flopping media will crawl up his ringpiece as usual 
the protests need to be relentless.If he were to come out and say he was away at seasons end i would want the team to win..I can't want us to win if it means he stays though..fuck that.c'mon pulis do a number on the tactically inept ringhole
