Genuinely what more can the trust do? I 

 

Making noise on 10 minutes is good but is that it now?

 

More food and drink was being sold today, it was a little busy.

The trust needs to pick a lane

The minority that went on the pitch has had a bigger impact than the numbers would suggest imo. 
 

they’ve more than likely got the club (chancer) a hefty fine. 
 

they’ve brought more attention to the situation, many other clubs fans are applauding them on backing them on social media. 

100% Sky had a good 5 minutes focussed on us in that time, literally all over socials within minutes! Even facilitated some larger vocal protests than I’ve heard from our fans!!

The protests aren’t going to ramp up, what else is left for the trust to do? 

 

What truly more can the fans do? 

 

A complete boycott of games, both home and away. 

 

Leave the empty stands as a symbol of what will happen next season if Chansiri has dreams of clinging on and flogging more season tickets.

Just frustrating we can’t do a reading style pitch invasion. Thousands on the pitch and stopping the game completely. Less than 1% on today, probably less than 1/2% actually. These aren’t even invasions are they. The Twitter account had hundreds of followers and hundreds retweeting, guessing they weren’t bothered about it in person.

yep but we all know it’s never going to happen.

 

Fans will never boycott away games, that is 100% fact.

 

This is why I said there isn’t much more that can be done. What more can the trust do?

 

We will never have a full boycott home or away, we could even boycott fully a cup game.

Or maybe people did want a criminal record, because for many in a professional career that mean the loss of their career.

 

You are asking a lot to protest against someone who no one seen for 6 months. There are better ways than running onto the pitch, falling over then getting arrested.

Wednesday being in league one won't happen till 8-9 months from now so it makes no sense for the players to refuse to play.

 

We can starve him of money and force a sale way before then. Imagine we were sold next week. Which would you rather have, a team with a small chance of staying up or a team who's players have refused to play 20 points from safety?

 

He won't be able to continue if people boycott season tickets.

We will get a 12-15 points deduction mate. If we were taken over this afternoon we will still be relegated. That is the reality of the situation.

The players ought to be making some kind of on pitch gesture.

 

A suggestion is that at kick off the ball gets passed to Barry Bannan who then sits on the ball.

 

Tell the opponents and the ref beforehand.

 

The ref will blow for a foul but Bazza could take his time standing up.

Who was that tail on the commentary today sounded like the Brentford manager, talking about passion and commitment with a team who had not been paid playing for free, a team of kids playing their third game in 8 days, many of which have not made 10 senior appearances.

 

Sky really do have some, complete idiot fools working for them.

I thought it sounded like Keith Andrews but doubt he would be there. Agreed he didn't really appreciate what players we have. Just kept on about poor lampard with a depleted squad.

I would like to know the pressure they are being put under to play… they effectively risked their careers for no pay today. 
The PFA need to come out and say why they should be still ‘working’ or not.

The EFL wants them to play, are they now so totally in charge that the PFA cower away in a corner.?!

No Pay No Play has to be the message now.

Players have their contracts and the integrity of the game to think about. People really need to move on from any suggestion of the players refusing to play or doing anything else silly. They could be in breach of contract, in breach of the EFL rules and do more damage to their own careers. 

If fans really want action, they should be doing it themselves and not relying on the players to do it for them

I personally wouldn't go on the pitch for that reason, all for the protests but the risk of being arrested would rule me out unfortunately.
