So obviously I'm pretty far removed and I'm just wondering what the consensus is with this. Are you all doing it for real? It'd be a level of unrest we haven't really seen in a long time now. It is deserved too, I just wonder if it'll get through to Moshiri as it all starts there and he can't be fired.
 
However many walk out you'll have more clapping and cheering that fat mess if the cameras flash him up on the big screen.

The media will immediately churn out the tired narrative of: "a few fans are protesting, but just listen to that support."

A far more effective protest is lobbing hundreds/thousands of tennis balls on the pitch. The match would be stopped and It would take a fair while to clear them up, during which time prolonged chanting could take place. This chanting could be replaced immediately with vociferous support for the team (even if it's undeserved) as soon as the referee blows for a restart, leaving those in the directors box and the viewing worldwide audience who we're protesting against.

Fair play to the organisers like, but they have had 20+ years to plan and the best they can do is an unimaginative walk out that is going to be spun another way.

Everton, that.

Hopefully that wouldn't happen (1sr bit) and if it did then we really are in a mess
 

I won’t be doing it. It‘s cringeworthy.

The whole 27 thing reeks of millennial entitlement. No team outside the big 3 or 4 can “expect” to win trophies. All I expect is that the club is well run & the board do everything they can to put us in a position where we’re competing for them.

I’m as sick of our board as anyone. We need sweeping change. Kenwright & all his cronies gone. Brands gone.

Better to come up with a chant that everyone can get behind. Not 27. Something to do with our motto.

Think it's all in context. We've spent £500milion and not got anywhere. Leicester have won a league title and FA Cup in that time and spent a considerably less.

Not to compare the two and we're not feeling entitled to it. But at least an attempt to challenge, be competitive for trophies. This hasn't been the case since Moyes and Martinez.

Can't see anything wrong with it personally and think it totally in proportion to what is going on at the club.

Thing is mate, if the players are more concerned with watching the crowd midway through the first half, they shouldn't be on the pitch anyway.

Agree with this and in the case of some players they should never have been allowed to wear the royal blue. I keep hearing that this protest is kopite behavior, maybe it is, but, kopite behavior has done ok for the rs, look at how our paths have gone in different directions since the mid 80’s.

It’s about time the board were brought to account.

We‘ve not really “spent” £500m have we. Spunked it would be closer to the truth.

As I said, all I expect is that the board does it’s job & puts us in a position to compete.

Unfortunately, what we’re seeing now is the result of past mistakes. 30 years of underfunding. Moshiri comes in made a series of catastrophic errors.

And to top it off we‘ve had some bad luck this season. We don’t have the squad to cover for injuries & especially not when it’s 4 of our best players.
