The way to get their attention

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.

A mass walk out will take a lot more planning, mainly because were all in different blocks on here so will just look we've all popped to get a hot dog.
only planning needed is a list of names added to the 6 on it and an agreement of the time of the walk-out. the media/press is the easiest bit once that's done
Do kingjason's car park banner thing, then do the mass walk out on the next big game, because by then alot of interest would have been generated from the banner protest.
Like this idea. Alerting the gutter snipes at Fleet St before every protest to get max publicity.

why not use the blackburn game for the initial banner protest while building the walk-out list?

Yes, but with respesct, if OBG had carried the banner it would have totally engulfed him, looking a bit like a handkerchief for Barry Manilow. :? :wink:

I'd love to see the following trick played on Arsene....

Arsene give us a wave,
Arsene, Arsene, give us a wave...

(Arsene waves. We then resume the singing)

You don't know what you're doing,
You don't know what you're doing.

That would put the message across.

that could be a "corker" before the walk-out but the song should acknowledge the fact he ONCE knew what he was doing

A banner across the car park could well lead to arrests if old bill get excited.

Entrance to car park looks like a private road to me, giving old bill any excuse to nick people for trespass.
I know what you mean

We get the banner and then march from to the front of the club shop/Holloway Rd entrance, chanting and singing.

It doesn't affect traffic, we're not causing much in the way of a nuisance, so it shouldn't be a problem.....I hope

that's why thoughtful, focussed, well-organised in very large numbers gets my vote in the initial demos

how about a stay in? the players will notice we're still there and think wtf? we could stay behind after the match holding "arsene knew" banners and then chant.

If at least 100 people stayed in around blocks 5 and 6 then the club would see the most vocal fans aren't happy. It would get shown on MOTD too. :barscarf:

Need to start a twitter and facebook campaign to start to get real numbers of people who back this protest.

The main objective I believe is for Arsenal to be our side again. Not Wengers toy or shareholders cash cow. We want our club to be challenging for honours, be attracting & purchasing the best players in the world. Because right now it just feels like a them and us situation. And the fan base is split between the Arsene knows brigade and the Arsens out brigade.

We need a manager who brings the club together again and unites us. We need players who understand how you win and have the know how to deal with the pressure when it matters.
