There is certainly ample room behind each of the goals for people to throw beach balls without them landing on the pitch and disrupting the game

Alternatively we/ye could do what Bayern did and throw bog rolls on the pitch to signify 10+ years of shite this c.unt has served up to us :rubchin:

On the actual Protest Marches how galling would it be for wenger if we all wore George Graham Masks - and / or Alexis Sanchez masks - I know we don't want to detract from the main objective which is #WENGER OUT but it would add a certain something - If there were 250 to 300 George Graham masks protesting in a march with all the banners. Something tells me George might just enjoy seeing that as he is anything but a wenger fan :wink:

Or in the ground a couple if hundred fans wearing Alexis masks and chanting "Alexis Sanchez We Want You To Stay" :barscarf: . :barscarf: . :barscarf:

Even the AKB's couldn't object to that...

I know most of us agree that we cannot dilute the protests by including wiggy & the board etc at least not yet, but the George Graham and / or Alexis masks thing would make Wenger "Squirm" - especially in the ground where he has to remain - he cannot avoid it - and he will hear and see it - as well as the media!.
My problem with ANYTHING inside the ground is that everyone is separated. How are you going to feel sitting there with a George Graham mask on and the next guy wearing one is so far away you cannot even see him?? Anything, besides banners, inside the ground, is going to be difficult. And probably ineffective.

We are too nice. If this was abroad they would be firing off flares. Aimed at the back of his head.

When you say release them, what do you mean?
Chuck them on the pitch or around the crowd?

If you're chucking them on the pitch isn't there a risk that you would get ejected and prosecuted.
Ok ...so to sum up......

The balloons are a non starter because they are outside the ground.

We cannot release beach balls in the ground for fear of prosecution

The mobile billboards will not be able to get close to the ground because the streets will be closed...so what's the point?

We cannot get another plane as it's a no fly zone.

So lets keep the rest of the money, then when he signs we can have a giant piss up.

OK Guys listen up. We can get a mobile billboard 20 ft x 10ft (both sides) and 5ft across by 10 ft high at the back for just under a grand. They reckon they can park up pretty close to thhe stadium and will be there for 8 hours. The 20 X 10 posters then belong to us and we can re use them. This is a huge backlit lorry.

THOUGHTS??

I don't really want to hear a whole lot of vague suggestions...if he can get right up to the stadium Yay or Nay???

Sounds good to me provided he can definitely get into the right area. I would even think about keeping some of the finer details private to avoid potential sabotage.

Don't think you will find a more effective form of publicity for the protest and anything else along the lines of tennis balls or A4 posters etc can be done at low cost.

Let's not forget that one of our duties is to keep The protest in the news and keep chipping away at fans that want Jim gone but have found it hard to protest so far.

So with that in mind, I think we could still do balloons outside because again the message is getting into the subconscious and possibly beachballs on the grounds that don't get directly thrown onto the pitch (In other words they could get bounced around the spectator areas, even if a few AKB's trust with you it would still be seen as a bit of a jaunt by those who generally are sympathetic . And again most importantly it would get in the media and be on TV (both the balloons and any beach balls inside the ground) .

Regarding the billboard, apart from just driving around the manor in general , Free kick off so fans see the messages, if we had a sympathetic contact who lived on Drayton Park or one of the streets close by we could then just park up , as they will have a resident permit. But most important of all don't just give up on these ideas, be creative

Yay. I'm all for the mobile billboard, would be good to get absolute clarification that they can park close to the stadium. :barscarf:
