Wenger Out protest thread

[subtleasaheadbutt]

Just want to wish everyone involved in this all the best. When I wake up tomorrow morning this protest will be underway. Good luck lads!

[Pete on the beach]

Great work from everyone involved in this. I am sure we all appreciate the effort many of you are putting in that is going further than just turning up.

I know 6pm is the start time. That's gonna be too early for me but I hope to be there no later than 6:45pm with a few old mates. Anyone know roughly what time the walk away from the ground to that soulless monstrosity will start?

Plan is to leave about half 6, so maybe pick us up by Arsenal tube or the Bridge over to the Shamirates.

We'll have to talk about route my vote is stay off the clubs property as much as possible

[Leyton Gooner]

Getting nervous now. Really hope this goes well. Wish I could be there. Don't do social media but I've got my lad to do the twitter thing.

[flash gunner]

Good luck lads

Heading up to London about 10.30. As I'm going up anyway I might as well do a few other things that need doing

flyer is sorted and I'm picking them up from retro gooner around 5ish

Jumpers, and other organisers , this tweet text I have in my notes on my phone, imo it would be good if as many as possible at the protest ( who have the equipment and technically can do it) post the tweet/fb at the designated times. When we meet at six why don't we set up a what's app group? so it can be shared ( and they can share on to other gooner contacts not present ) also if there are any unforeseen "issues" it's a back up way of keeping in touch

Just a thought

In That Case I'll Have to Change my Banner to

ARSENE PLEASE LEAVE

ALEXIS PLEASE, PLEASE STAY !

That's the one!
And make sure it's in Spanish too!

ARSENE PLEASE, PLEASE LEAVE

ALEXIS POR FAVOR, POR FAVOR ESTANCIA

Mucho Bueno Gringo!.....

I am driving down from Devon at about 2'ish. gonna park at Ruislip and get train from there (I know Ruislip,used to live there) should be there for about 5.45. I have the NO NEW CONTRACT banner. One Bard Gooner is going to carry it with me

I really hope we get the numbers there. I don't care if it's tipping down..

Today I am carefully wishing that the club I have supported since 1972 become competitive again. That can only begin with change .

Thought I heard Chelsea fans sing "you're not West Ham anymore" last night...could have misheard but it is sadly an appropriate song for Arsenal also..

I also started supporting The Arsenal in 1972.

"My" Arsenal...



That "Arsenal" has gone.

WE ARE NOT THE ARSENAL ANYMORE!!!

We are Arsènal PLC...



....................................................................................................................................................................

We're not Woolwich Arsenal anymore either!

Sir Henry Norris

Bought his stake in The Board in 1910.

Wanted us...oh dear, I really wrote "us".
Anyway, wanted " Woolwich Arsenal" to merge with Fulham FC and play at Craven Cottage.
Wasn't allowed, by the Football League.

So what did he do? He decided to re-locate.

A letter complaining about this, from the Kentish Gazette...

“Mr Norris has decided that financial gain is more important than protecting our local club. He is making a mistake. You cannot ‘franchise’ a football club – Woolwich Arsenal must stay near Woolwich. Would Norris advocate moving Liverpool to Manchester? People like him have no place in association football.”

He under-invested in the team, and Woolwich Arsenal got relegated. So it happened.
That made it easy for him to move the franchise to Highbury.
A corrupt businessman taking the Club from the "real" fans in Kent.

Woolwich Arsenal isn't "my" Arsenal.

The Manor Ground?



My Arsenal died in 2006. So did yours.

Great stuff!! I don't have a banner , but happy to carry (or help ) with one

Disaster, banner company sent the wrong one to me. Instead of "Wenger Out" I have "Donna Knowles".
Fortunately I still have the one from last season:

The protest info was posted on AWIMB

The best reply... a call to arms from Tony C, for those that missed it...

THIS PROTEST WILL FAIL.

you need to do like the Social Justice warriors and go ape sh*t for the club to take notice.

you need to get everyone together and go on a fkin RAMPAGE.

tear up the streets, burn cars, burn the armoury and then get into the ground 15 minutes late and rip the seats out and throw it onto the pitch and then as soon as Bayern score the first goal carry out a mass pitch invasion with a GIANT WENGER OUT banner unfurled on the pitch.



Seriously - this is the only way anyone will care about the protest or the need to change.

[northbank123]

Enough is Enough

[Nick Bendtners Ego]

Heading out from Dublin in a couple of hours and really looking forward to this, consider it a form of therapy! A chance to channel the anger and hopefully, even if the odds are against us, change the direction slightly of where this club is going. Absolutely zero interest in attending game and reckon we'll we making more noise than the gooner souls within. Looking forward to meeting a few off here and above all, letting Wenger know, he sure as fu.ck doesn't know any more.

UTA!
