Saturday's protest sit-in... Poll Included !!!

[tnc85]

I won’t be there in person but will try watch it. Looking forward to seeing the sit in turnout and subsequent media coverage. Thanks to all fellow blues who will protest in a respectable manner, of course.

Irrespective of the result of the game... will you be partaking in the sit-in protest ?

Yes

Haven’t been to a game in 4 years (last time I did Marco Silva was in the dug out), but had I been I would definitely join in the protest, fully back everyone trying to make this club of ours better

Unfortunately I think the only language these vultures speak in is £££... Whilst people are sitting in, they'll happily receive the £50 from each person attending. I think the most effective protest is to not give them your money.

Better a sit in than noting though, so good on those doing it.

Problem by not sitting in is that the team need our support - the media are using this narrative already - supporting the team and opposing the board are two different things. The media or whoever it is feeding them ( think we all know) are trying to put it on the fans views off the underperforming board that it’s not helping the team when that’s nothing to do it with it. The blame culture at Everton football club is off the mark.

Sit out,is a better option.
I understand folk paying hard earned cash for season tickets,but empty spaces would be a better show.

Fair play to those who actively protest for change at the club.

Can't even be bothered to find a dodgy stream to watch this lot anymore.

I deliberately didn't make the poll so that we could see that... in the hope that people would vote honestly... and nobody would get pilloried for their choice of vote.

I would hope a few are just engaging in a bit of contrarian divilment...but everybody is entitled to their opinion.

Wish the best to those attending the game and protesting.

Fully back anyone protesting, and I'm all for change, but do have to agree that there is a lot of posturing around it. This isn't sniping or anything, just examples of recent 'protests' that have been planned with plenty of excitement.

Last year, the Arsenal protest. I got involved. Before it, it seemed like half the ground was going to walk out. But no, we got laughed at as we went down to the concourse and you've got people screaming at you to give up your season ticket.

Went to United on Friday. 10k there, expected to be a big noise about the board because Twitter and the forums were abuzz with protest excitement. We probably sung for 2 mins max all night about sacking the board.

You can even go back to the anti-Martinez protests. Must have been 100 of us who stayed behind, but EVERYONE wanted him gone.

There is a very big disconnect between those who go the game, and those who go but aren't on social media, and I fear you'll see that in full effect again on Saturday.

Don't I know it.

First time the park end made a noise in about 10 years and it was to boo its own fans ffs.

But I fear your right, I'll be there and ill be staying behind but I doubt many will.

The problem with goodison is most of the STH are 50+ and they've had their tickets for decades. They see going the game as a social event.

They get their 5 minutes before kick off chat to their mates about whatever been going on in the last two weeks since they've seen them, couple of scoops at half time, chat to their mates some more.

By time the final whistle come their thinking of either making the first train/bus home to the Mrs they can or how many pints they can get in at the pub with their mates before they get the dreaded phone call off the Mrs.

They've been going the game so long its just became part of their routine. The social aspect of it is what matters to them the game is almost secondary. They've had a long hard week at work and their going to go out see their mates and enjoy themselves, cant knock them for it. It just feels like the passion has gone from the game for them.

Kenwright has instilled a culture of apathy at this club where the bare minimum is accepted and getting people like that to break a routine or the miasma of apathy is hard.

Hopefully I'm wrong and we all come together like we did for the bus welcomes but the bus welcomes were fun and its easy to do fun things. Protests aren't fun so I think we'll struggle.
