Wenger Out protest thread

[Afc5123]

Shame it's to late for this banner would be amazing if it could be seen inside the ground.



We all know 1 or both of them are going so why even say this b******s

Sadly, we have a majority of brainwashed morons in the stadium. I can't see an answer to be honest.

There is an answer!

If he signs for another 2 years then I am pretty sure the whole Stadium will be Anti-Wenger by next November.

Unfortunately Babu, I honestly believe that even if we were in 15th or 16th place next November, there'd still be no worthwhile revolt inside the stadium.

Interestingly, we may well see our theories tested, because he'll definitely be here next season (and beyond) and our on field performances and league position are going to be very ugly.

The heat has to be turned up now. simple as that.

banners are going to have be shown during games I think - forget supporting the team, it is becoming all a bit pointless if the dinosaur stays

This will NOT happen. There are no more that half a dozen banners in the ground. The fans in the stadium do not care.

This is the biggest problem we face and Nick is right, it simply won't happen inside the stadium. You're also right Bob, that it's the only way to make the impact that we require, but I'm afraid it's a long way off, if indeed, it ever happens.

With the days of terracing gone, it isn't possible to get a block of 50 like minded people standing together with banners, let alone the 200-300 who have been attending our demos. Even 15 - 20 banners together en masse would be very impressive, but 30 or so dotted around the stadium loses all impact. It simply looks like a handful of radical ingrates (that's certainly how the TV media put it across).

Without terracing, you need fans who share a single minded opinion about the manager / chairman / any other issue, such as we've seen at Liverpool, Blackburn, Utd etc. Sadly, we have a majority of brainwashed morons in the stadium. I can't see an answer to be honest.

It can happen and if there is no announcement of contract being signed prior to the cup semi, it WILL happen People seem to forget about the stick he got when he took off the ox v manure in rvp's last season with us - at the time there was a small minority of us that wanted him gone, but to listen to the majority of fans singing "you don't know what you're doing", you would think that the vast majority want him out. Fast forward a few years and you will see a Gooner support where about 90-95% want him gone (obviously I am including those that want him gone but wont protest) - if we were to get torn a new arsehole on sunday v citeeh, do you not think that a chant of "no new contract" would ring out around the stadium ? Personally I expect that we will win sunday so there wont be a backlash inside the stadium this week, however I do not expect to win the cup semi and that is where inside stadium protests could start

Actually it is very possible to congregate in one area at some times of the match as theres loads of spaces free. suggest anyone who is going correspond by PM You only need to see that the white cannon is alive when you look on TV to see that area of the East stand isnt

It is easy to congregate the problem is (and this was my point) there is not enough people willing to bring banners in.
This is based on actually being in the stadium with banners.

OK, my initial doubt about protests inside the stadium, was that there isn't the will or the stomach for it among those that attend and I suppose Nick is agreeing with this.

However, I'm surprised that you both say that congregating is not a problem. I've only been to one game in the last 2 1/2 seasons, as I've rented my season ticket out and even when I was going, I'd never had any reason to try to congregate, but I'm baffled as to hows it would work. I hear what you say, Operator, about the number of empty seats, but how would you know in advance where those empty seats will be ? Also, what if they appear to be empty, you congregate and then the seat holders arrive. Surely once the stasi stewards realise you aren't all in that section, they'll move you on ?

I'm not doubting you guys, I'm just struggling to see how congregating (especially a planned congregation), comes about.

Augie, I've been thinking about this for a long time and have been intending for the last couple of weeks to post my thoughts. Haven't yet got around to it, because it's likely to be a bit on the lengthy side. You may very well be right, I just have my doubts.

I'll post it on the Wenger thread, where I think it will be more apt.

It can happen and if there is no announcement of contract being signed prior to the cup semi, it WILL happen People seem to forget about the stick he got when he took off the ox v manure in rvp's last season with us - at the time there was a small minority of us that wanted him gone, but to listen to the majority of fans singing "you don't know what you're doing", you would think that the vast majority want him out.

PM and mobile phones although you can only reach people on this forum and only those that have indicated an interest.

Congregation should be easy. I strolled over from west stand to clock end against Bayern and found many seats and there are bound to be similar levels again as the club is struggling to shift tickets. Same thing against Lincoln. We just need enough people to commit. I'll be at hammers and can coordinate with people. I fear this might be too late and we need to go all out against City. I'm doing the protest but it might not be enough and something big needs to happen inside the stadium. The gods are on our side. I can see people streaming out after 75mins and that's when people need to get into position. Don't fall foul of the stewards and lose your STs though.

[xisstential]

The real thing

[NickF]

Looking good!
The view looks really nice as well.

[Henry Norris 1913]

[General]

Fantastic banners xxistential. The black background helps make a strong statement.
