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.

This would also be a good idea and solve the problem of people being in different blocks. Anyone outside of blocks 5 and 6 and all move there after 90 minutes. This could actually be more effective than a walk out.

You need serious numbers to do that. I also think any protest needs to be at the right time. All the fair weather fans need to be witness to it, the board/Wenger need to know we're pissed and the players have to get the message that we're fucked off with the lack of heart and fight (except for a few people).

The press need to be tipped off and we need to make sure the message gets out that we want our club back.

A stay-in is interesting.

Perhaps fans need to wear something to identify them as a group...scarf, T Shirt, cap etc as well as banners?

Fans from here are based in different areas of stadium so chances of getting everyone together in a block are slim.

Thing is, all the time we are still in a title race stuff like this is going to struggle to garner much serious popular support.

An On-Line stay in?

We need to have a can-do attitude to this.

I think that would be easy, just say that everyone should get down to blocks 5/6 at the end of the game, because the ground is a bowl you can get to nearly every block no matter where you are sitting for the game.

LOL a stay in, :lol: :lol: most fuckers can't wait till get away from the ground, let alone arrange for fans to stay after the match...The only way to get ya message across is to hit the bastards in the pocket

fans need to wait till we play wigan, who bring only about 300 fans and then no one turn up -

So true, as if those players believe they can win anything.

No, you fool. Even if I don't turn up, they still count me as part of the attendance. They don't give a shit if I don't turn up.
