we just have to accept we're paying customers and nothing more ultimately.

Give up your season ticket someone else will more than happily take it off your hands.

Fully agree. It's baffling that so many people are more than happy to keep opening their wallets and paying their money week after week, season after season, just to demand change, but wonder why nothing ever does.

Golden rule of football ownership: always let your customers refer to themselves as fans, never do it yourself and ruin the illusion if you want to keep the golden goose.

This is spot on, all the moaning and virtue signalling isnt going to do anything to help Everton, last season proved that, I just hope next season we as fans are behind the team from week one, not just turning up with a month or so left

It's possible to protest the board and support the team just as vocally as last season.

They can do all kinds that will highlight the discontent many feel. I was always a big fan of delaying kick off by throwing balls/bog rolls but after the Palace pitch invasions I'm sure the FA will take a dim view.

Another way is to remain after the game. Particularly if its a televised main game with studio pundits overlooking the pitch. Support the team throughout, then thousands (ambitious, I know) stay behind for a good 30 minutes at the end. Pitchside interviews would become a challenge and it would have to be discussed.

Evertons biggest blocker is the same as it always has been throughout the Kenwright era. Total apathy towards protest because 'he's a blue' and the ludicrous claim he saved us from Johnson. (Who sold us debt free btw, that didn't last.)

I am for the protest is before the season starts and shows the frustration us fans have on the board. I am sure the fans will be amazing again backing the team we all dont want another season like the last one. We have to do something all the changes that have gone on so far is down to the pressure we put on them if they dont i worry what they will do to the club

I don't support us just because we may "win somethin".

I support us because I support us. You can't explain why you support someone you just do. That's kind of the point of it.

No you should want us to win something and it should annoy you that we haven’t for donkey years i was actually only joking round before but if you just follow Everton for something to do then who do you think you are telling other fans that there wrong for wanting a change you should keep out of it
 

Maybe we could hold small A4 placards with "KENWRIGHT OUT " written on.
It wouldn't cost a fortune to have them printed and if they were held up on 27th minute , it would at least show how much support he still has.
They would have to be given out outside the ground. If enough people did it it would be hard for them to ignore it.

If the fans really wanted to enforce change they'd do what the Arsenal fans did before the end of the Wenger era years back. After years of bickering by the "in"/"out" brigade it got to a point where the Emirates was half empty, game after game.

I remember watching on TV and hearing the stadium announcer say "60,000 attendance" when you could see it empty, the commentators could, the studio panel could, millions around the world could -and most importantly- the ownership could. It was awkward and embarrassing as the Sky Hired Guns tried to gloss over it with "best league in the world" PR guff.

A few weeks of that and soon after, Wenger departure was announced and Arsenal had been changed.

Never mind bedsheet and banners, imagine an almost empty Goodison week after week being broadcast around the world. That is something Moshiri could not ignore. But it will never happen, 40k people will pay their money every week, and we'll plod along, saying the same thing next year. Again.

Your Probaly right there to be honest and if we’re in the middle of a bad run the fans would end up taking the blame

But non-attendance isn't supporting the team.

Our weak kneed collection of rag tags have shown they need support to perform.

The various groups need to come up with a way that combines both support (team) and protest (board).

Not easy, particularly when 20k "Can't be arsed, Lad"

I did. I stopped going to Goodison after he was applauded when he appeared on the screen against Villa years ago.

Fully agree its not easy, and it doesn't help that there seems to be about half a dozen different protest groups and half of them can't seem to agree on end result never mind the strategy.

But so long as the customers keep turning up en masse and keep getting their wallet out every week, there will be no real or meaningful change - forced or otherwise (excluding perhaps some Mickey Mouse gesture to quiet down the rabble for a bit).
