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.
[quote="Henry Norris 1913]excuse me donald fucking trump I give the board hardly any of my money and joined the black scarf movement . regardless of what you think I have done realistically all I can but some petition with 37 signatures on the internet is going to do FA to overthrow the dictatorship in the boardroom .
what else are you planning to do? petitions and constant ranting on your pc while scratching your balls over in america won't help[/quote]
Donald trump?
Where did I say you spend any money on the club. If I did and was incorreect I apologize but I don't think I have said that certainly not recently.
All I suggested is that your notion that there is no point in protests of any sort because there aren't enough of us is flawed or it may be. If we all were to work together to try to achieve something we might have more of a chance which has to better than having no chance at all. I shudder to think how many important movements began with no chance at all in our history.
what have you got in mind is the obvious question ?
The best approach is probably protests outside the ground but that won't happen . I doubt Redaction or the supporters trust have any real power or can demand answers either...

The idea would be to get public attention. The best way to do this is to get the media's attention. The best way to do this for me would start with either a opetition or mass letter-writing campaign. But its not enough to to try and seek dialogue with the Board, we need to find some media members ready to ask them the questions. They cannot and will not ignore the media and the media will not just accept their answers if they don't jive with facts. There is nothing the media jumps on a like a cover-up. That is not to compare what our Board has doen to a political scandal, but I do believe they are covering up their real motives, and we need to make them aware they aren't fooling us.
Maybe the most we can do is really really embarass them. Thing is that can be a powerful weapon. For example Dan Fiszman reportedly brags he built the Emirates Stadium with his bare hands, so if you put him in a position where the dredit he expects for that can be taken away he will be worried. Even ignoring the unfortunate circumstances of his personal health., preple like him protect their legacies, and if he is doing worng by the Club we can torpedo his leagcy and at his aga even perfectly healthy he would not want that.
We can make make them look really bad now and into the future, and people with really big egos don't like that.
