    My point was it wouldn’t make the news as the official figure wouldn’t change so unless they were at VP they wouldn’t know

    I believed them last January when they said that if we were still in with a chance they would back McCall. Ummm I think not. If they do pump a million in and players arrived it will be a nice surprise for me.

    Fair comment with regards numbers but even on here you have ( better not accuse them of being happy clappers) posters who still believe in the way the owners are taking the club, we dont know how many of the "lurkers" feel the same way.
    I'm with you with regards a plane and banner we know it has been done in the past and I'm sure the banner message would not be breaking any laws or the company would not fly it if it did, a simple, Edin & Stefan please go, or as was suggested by @Nick_W_@Nick_W_, Edin Out.

    Very true. The January transfer window is a seller's market. There are very few players whose contracts lapse in January (unlike in the summer) which means we are either looking at players who are for whatever reason are surplus to requirements at their current club; would require us the pay a transfer fee or would be from the loan market.

    Call me cynical but I'm less than enamoured with that as a strategy to get us out of this mess.

    Furthermore nearly every single player who has walked through our door is walking into a toxic atmosphere. Not a good working environment by anybody’s standards.

    I understand that point. But the club does collect data on 'actual' attendance in addition to the published 'official' attendance and a boycott with fewer bums on seats would certainly send a strong message to Rahic. He might well be an egotist or arrogant but he is no fool.

    Yep. Very difficult in January. The stakes are so much higher so every club is looking for a magic bullet. Having said that January is our only hope. Four good players at a minimum.

    Agree @Dennis@Dennis, but dramatic situations sometimes demand drastic measures, and after seeing posts on here and elsewhere and having a conversation this moring with one of our more balanced posters yesterday was as bad as it got that first half.

    I understand that... but if done correctly, and the media were made aware, I'm sure some pics of a half empty stadium would appear, along with pics of the fans that were supposed to be there, in another ground, supporting a small local club as a boycott to their owners. Even if you got 1k Bradford fans at a game in the same stand at another game, I think it would show the owners people are fed up with their regime.

    Seems like it would get more coverage than people marching, or a plane flying over the ground.

    Not that I don't support the plane or any other idea, like I say I will contribute if it gets organised... just another suggestion.

    Sounds good to me. Everyone must post pictures of themselves at away matches in colours and banners on the #bcafc Twitter, plus on here and other social media Instagram etc.,

    So how would you protest @Storck@Storck? You must have some alternative suggestions?

    In reality he doesn’t seem overly concerned, or is frozen in the lights of the developing crisis. The person who needs to understand all this is Stefan Rupp. He needs the message as he, as I understand it ‘invsted’ (sic) the major share in the purchase of the club.

    But listening on the radio funds the club too as the radio stations pay for the privilege of commentating. We'd all need to stop listening to commentary. Let's do this properly!

    I expect he has staff doing it for him. Wasnt there a rumour of a wave of positve messages coming from the club via social media?
    Thats one tough job whoever got that one!

    In fact you could go one better. Fans don't even have to go to another game... but instead take a picture of what else they are doing at 3pm on home match days and tweet #edinwherehaveyourfansgone?
    Things like pics in the pub, being dragged shopping with your wife and so on, have a bit of fun with it haha. Post it during the game

    Surely the price will be more of a factor than the division they are in? There won't be a huge amount of difference between the two divisions financially so there may even be a case of buyers preferring to buy cheap after a relegation.

    That said, R and R won't want to take a loss so perhaps there could be stalemate.

    Reading through, the options getting support seem to be:

    Flyover
    March from North St
    Boycott
    Attending only away games or local non league

    We could easily do all four, though the march and flyover require us to be there or its a waste of money/impossible.

    Therefore I would suggest those options first?

    We can start doing this now. Anybody notbgoing on Tuesday post a pic of yourself with scarf or whatever on, and what you are doing. It could watching paint dry, watching Emmerdale or whatever. I will put something on Twitter now. Let’s see if we can get this bandwagon moving.
