Craig 6701 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Dunno what they expect a march is going to achieve but never-the-less, people are asking the .com boys to promote this.... We've been asked to pass on details of a protest march by boycotting Newcastle supporters and those intending to enter SJP after kickoff on Saturday as follows: Meet opposite Tilleys Bar on Westgate Road for a 3pm march to SJP (Shearer's). Further details/signup here. And for those who wish to vent their feelings before kickoff, there promises to be a gathering outside Old Milburn Reception from 2pm.

Craig 6701 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Fair play for trying to get something organized. I agree - I'm just trying to wrack my brains what a march is going to achieve in the eyes of the club.. Sure enough the papers may pick up on it but unless it impacts those within the boardroom, i'd say efforts are largely fruitless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 It wouldn't be for me, but good luck to them. It will end up on telly and every little bit of demonstration aimed at the board will add up to something more meaningful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I'm quite surprised snakehips isn't one for all of these protests like. He's a right hooligan.

Jeckyll (sp) and Hyde has nowt on me! I would have gone ballistic against Wise on Sat'dee given the circumstances. Probably had a heart attack in the process.

snakehips 0 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Be really funny if everyone didnt enter the ground until like 5mins after kick off That's probably one of the best suggestions yet. That and not purchasing anything inside the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Great effort this, it's good to see there's people who've forgotten what happened last week already. This international break came at a good time for Fat Cunt. I guess I've become a radical amongst the usual fans for not wanting anything to do with the ground on matchday.

Fop 1 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The only thing that will get a rise out of the people that matter (other than a brothel-esq FFS & Feckless Hall "mugs..." and a knowing smile) is something that worries them commercially.

snakehips 0 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) Great effort this, it's good to see there's people who've forgotten what happened last week already. This international break came at a good time for Fat Cunt. I guess I've become a radical amongst the usual fans for not wanting anything to do with the ground on matchday. Had on. By that statement, I take it you're 'boycoutting' the game? That's up to you. It doesn't mean anyone who is going is less pissed off with the situation than you.

Yes but 10,000 people not buying a pie isn't going to make the headlines. The visual protests will have a bigger long term impact IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worry is that the visual protests will be fifty wet blokes under a soggy misspelled banner, weakly chanting "sack the board". Then the very real anti-Ashley sentiment will be forgotten by the mass media, to be replaced with "Lets laugh at the silly Geordies". I'd be behind a march if it was an idea that had been undertaken by the fans en masse, but it won't be. Frankly who gives a shit if fifty blokes stand outside the ground, when there's 35,000 inside?

And if everyone thinks like that there really will just be about 50 people because the majority of people won't turn up 'in case they're the only one'.

Unfortunately probably the things that will get them quaking are also the things that will effect the team and the fans rep the most. For example if Ashley turned up to an empty St. James', I'd guarantee Wise and Co would be out the door by next week - not that it would ever happen, but if you see what I mean.

Oh, no doubt, but this "march" would have been better organised for the Tottenham game, one where you can build impetus, awareness and (of course) support. I believe that if people really got their act together there'd be an impressive show of force from the public, unfortunately there seems to be hundred ideas going off half cocked.
