Even facilitated some larger vocal protests than I’ve heard from our fans!!
Smokinblunts Posted Saturday at 14:01 Posted Saturday at 14:01 (edited) After that 3rd was given I'm surprised they came out for the 2nd half. We got enough to struggle with thanks lino Edited Saturday at 14:01 by Smokinblunts 1

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. 1 3
WorrallOwl17 Posted Saturday at 14:05 Posted Saturday at 14:05 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. 2

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.

Our away following is exceptional….we seem t’turn for away fixtures anorl!

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.

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. 1
4evaowl Posted Saturday at 14:31 Posted Saturday at 14:31 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. 1

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.
shez owl Posted Saturday at 14:34 Posted Saturday at 14:34 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.

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 1 1 3

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.
