27 years campaign

[ToffeeTim]

I have high anxiety and mental health issues. I support a protest but I will have a massive problem going below the stands when it is heaving with fans. I never go down at half time. If I stay in my seat someone is bound to start throwing abuse. I can wear my special needs lanyard but I doubt some will care about it.

Serious, this is causing me some grief as I have no idea what to do. If I feel that I cannot go into a very crowded place then I will not be able to do so. It becomes pure fear and panic. I am even thinking of giving this game a miss due to this dilemma.

Just stay seated and clap those who leave. Plus anyone who says anything to you is an idiot and very disrespectful. I genuinely don't think there will be any issues because everyone has their own opinion which should be respected.

We would have been taken to kirkby if no one had stood up and challenged the club. Sometimes doing nothing is the worst option.

Doesn’t look like you can listen to last nights

The people have spoken; hopefully the ratio of above can be transferred to the ground on Monday

68% people agree, that’s be 25000 people walking out. Even half of that would draw attention

Up the Non-Head Patting Blues

Going to be absolutely cringe this is if they decide to return to their seats and clap/chant like good little bhoys after their toilet break.

Either go and leave to make a statement to the board or dont bother!

The irony in saying this then using a Celtic term

I’m just swerving the game altogether until the club decides to sort itself out. Good on the people walking out on 27 to show they aren’t happy, they are as entitled to walk out of the game as anyone who wants to sit and watch/clap blue bill.

If anyones planning on walking out, mind giving me your ticket - seeing as you're not going to be at the game.

Is this what we have come too?

If that was a kopite everyone would be all over that video.

Embarrassing.

As a matter of interest - what do you find more embarrassing, the video or getting beat 2-5 at home to Watford and 1-4 to the kopites?

How many more times are you going to make this point? We get it. You're trying to make the perfect be the enemy of the good. You're attempting to assume a moral superiority again by claiming that the protestors aren't "true protestors" (or "superprotestors" if you will) since they won't fully commit, reminiscent of your view that some fans aren't true fans.

In fact the organizers were brilliant in leaving it open as to what fans should do after they walk out. Some will return after 5 min, some will stay until half, some will likely leave altogether. That flexibility allows for a much bigger participation since most who want to show their displeasure to the board don't have to feel conflicted about not supporting the team, or throwing away hard earned money spent on something they love. A hard command to walk and leave would have resulted in a much smaller group and thus less publicity.

No one in the media will make the cynical observation you do above when the majority of those who walked out return to their seats (in fact it is likely they will make the point fans returned to support "the team" after sending their message to "the board"). Instead the story and headlines will be all about fans making a statement that enough is enough and change is needed.

Stop playing the "you're doing it wrong" superiority card. It's tedious, and we know you feel an innate superiority to the rest of us here, it's already baked in to our assessment of you and your posts. You don't need to keep shouting it.

Think most supporters find watching performance's like Watford and Liverpool cringe

Excellent post !!

BTW it's 26 years not 27

There are no trophies available for us to win in the next 3 weeks, so it’s 27.

 

[Mosh Pit]

What happens if we're up the game and things are going our way, then the stunt happens on the 27th minute and the game turns against us after it?

Have the architects of this stunt considered that and where fingers will likely be pointed?

Yeah because I'm sure the players will have their full attention placed on whoevers heading downstairs for a bovril and not concentrating on the game.
