So, it's okay to potentially jeopardise the club by you thinking it's okay to go onto the pitch or use a smoke flare inside Goodison.
I suggest you give that a bit of a rethink mate

Fans Potentially jeopardising the club is a big leap Andy. No fan is capable of that other than Bill of the Boy's Pen. What's your message for him and his cohorts?

This board and it's decision making are the ones closest to doing the jeopardising, and yet we all awaited the outcome of their strategic review and low and behold, the board stays.

Since that review, we even sold our one most passionate goalscorer that singlehandedly kept us in it till the near bitter end.

Managers players boards should come and go, the fans are the life blood and it shouldn't be forgotten or disregarded.

In fact in our case, Everton are always strongest when they are together.
When it suits them, they welcome that passion Andy. They still show the Evertonians getting on the pitch in their clips in the ground for christs sake.

Everton should be backing its fanbase and saying NO, we will allow our fans to behave with passion as they always do as they haven't let the club down.

Not like that shower across the park have continuously.

The opposite in fact, we backed them when they don't deserve it, when will they back us Andy?

That season ticket I received said "Take Your Place" seems what they really meant was "know your place"

Hey, I call the board out as much as anybody.
The point I'm trying to make with you id that the football authorities have deemed smoke flares inside stadia and pitch encroachment to no longer be acceptable and could/might levy heavy fines/points deductions/closed grounds or whatever other measures they see fit to impose to stop such behaviour.

Therefore, if you choose to take a flare into the ground and/or go onto the pitch - you potentially jeopardise the club !!

Well as far as I am concerned Andy the footballing authorities can kiss my arse.

They'd be begging us to bring all of that passion if the scab 6 would have got their way with that league.

Everyone wanted us gone last year, our fans did the unthinkable and kept us up. Now they want change. They see the power fans have Andy and they will do anything to negate it and dilute it.

My point is if you want change you have to protest and make it uncomfortable for people.
If we'd gone down we wouldn't have a pitch to encroach on. It only takes a few dozen fans out of 40000 at the ground to disrupt a game.

Why wait and build up to something when the changes are needed now. What better way to start than the first Sat televised game.

Unless those that say they want change don't really have the appetite for it and happy to peddle the things the club want us to do for them. It should be the other way round.

The apathy is a joke.

Some serious disconnect from reality thinking that you can't harm the club, the club's finances or the club's standing by not following the PL rules. And, on top of all that, to think that you're helping by doing so.
 

You ever won a chess game without losing a pawn.
Seems only these kind of actions can cause people to listen.
We gave them patience and support and nothing changed.
What would you suggest the fans do to help bring the change needed. More marches on non match days.
The amount of wet kex over the idea of not following their rules is very telling.
I have had enough and I'm at the point where any potential to blame fans now for anything is a betrayal. The cheek of it is astounding.

They don't deserve the best of us.

Fans have harmed the club
Fans have harmed the clubs finances
Fans have harmed the club's standing
By the fans not following the PL rules

Maybe change Fans to Board and read again.

Yes, I believe anyone wanting to disrupt this charade is helping us in the long term.

They have a cheek telling us how to behave.
 
Has the club been warned specifically about the smoke sticks that were used to great effect by the supporters? All the flags,smoke and banners at Goodison during the run in last season helped to create some of the best atmospheres in recent memory and they were a major factor in us staying up. Everybody seemed to be inspired and it helped create a bond between the supporters and the team which i personally would like to see carried on throughout a full season.

I don't think that matters. If the league is looking for a scapegoat, we're an easy target.

We're not an international media darling, we're actually an irrelevance thanks to our decades long managed decline. The only ones whining about a points deduction (if it came to that) would be Everton. DBB would send one of her letters off to the Premier League stating how shocked and appalled she is and a few of our fans would go all misty eyed at how wonderful she was.

People are getting confused between supporting and being a tit. The coach welcomes and that are great for certain games. Smoke cannisters in the ground? Not for me. Smoke cannisters on the pitch? 100% no.

Fans on the pitch? No.

A few fans jumping over the hoardings for a few seconds to spontaneously celebrate on the rare occasion when we score? No real harm done.

The trend seems to be kids (and some big kids) go to the game knowing they're going on the pitch. That has to stop.

As for protests, I'm a huge advocate of them. Long and noisy and often. It doesn't need to detract from supporting the team in anyway.

Walk outs on 27 min detracts from supporting the team.

Protests during the match detracts from supporting the team.

A protest must happen Saturday, long and loud post match when they are trying to do post match analysis and pitchside interviews. Even if we get a point or snatch a win, protest. (it probably increases its impact as opposed to a reactionary heavy defeat protest - that may happen anyway)

I'm fully behind the ladies and gents who have got the 27 campaign up and running, but the messaging is all over the shop. Outsiders (and I include Evertonians here) need to read tweets and forum posts from many people involved and they get a slightly different idea from each of them.

Simplyfy the message. Right now it's asking the owner to do three things, potentially four. (Listen, Engage and Act. Oh, if you don't.... Sell!)

Keep it simple, stupid. Sack the board and get professionals in.

Maybe we could get all the fellas who are vaping in the Gwladys Streets bogs to exhale just as the drums to z cars start. Sorted.
 
Are these fools still going, I would have thought that they would have crawled back to their ma's basement after the 2nd failed attempt at a protest. The Esk will do anything for attention
