Banners for first home game

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.

Hit them where it hurts, their bank balance!
I disagree, action (within the law that is) by protest, voice, banners etc is always more likely to grab the medias attention, not buying merchandise ie the effect gets 'hidden' this can be covered up ie not declaring to the world 'drop in sales' - not buying merchandise etc is a 'cop out' IMO for those who don't want to get involved in voicing / airing their frustrations and disappointment with the club....

Agree but it's just not realistic to expect to make something like that happen.

Beauty of a banner is it just takes a couple of blokes and the effect can be massive. The media will jump all over it - especially given that we play Spurs two days before the window shuts.

It was Worthing_Gooner who first suggested the "Tick Tock" idea..Dan came up with a good design based on WG's idea.
Sorry Worthing! :oops: :lol:

Why not say nothing, not a thing, silence is golden, not a chant, not a cheer,

Or every one turn their backs on the game and say nothing.

Sixty thousand fans sitting there in silence or standing up backs to the game.

We can even wear masks on the back of our heads, like tragedy masks with tears.

But how will people then notice that it's a 'protest' and not just that the game has started? :? :rubchin: :oops: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Recycling my previous ideas

Buy Buy, or (it's) Bye Bye

It's a good buy from him, or it's a goodbye from us

Still like my black bin liner idea.

Have I missed something or is there a reason why IrishJB cannot hold these banners up himself?
