    I THINK THE BIG THING NOW IS THE MULTIPLICITY OF OUTLETS TO VENT ANGER. MAINLY FUELED BY THE SAME OUTLETS GIVING A PLATFORM TO AIR THINGS. I MEAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE BOB MARTIN GETTING AN EASY RIDE THESE DAYS?

    If you don’t attend the games, Edin can quietly get on with it. We need to make it as difficult for him, stop him, show him we have had enough. He has our money from s/ts, so not turning up does nothing. Stop buying at the club shop, bars, kiosks etc. hurts him more. Put pressure on sponsors to complain to him that they ain’t happy & will not be renewing. Don’t attend events put on by Bingley Bantams and the like who support Edin & his ideas and fund raise for the club. Time stand up & be counted folks.

    As a former Flexicard holder I was branded a traitor for not attending matches. Now, it seems, I'm to be branded a traitor for attending matches. Wish you uber overlords would make your minds up.

    I think the plane banner is the best option

    Everyone gets to see this and would be in the news and on tv

    Doesn't disrupt the players during the match and would get the attention it deserves

    A bill board banner will be seen by what 5% of the fans and probably not make the news.. even if it gets accepted

    70 people paying a tenner gets job done

    It could say

    BANTAMTALK SAYS EDIN OUT !!!

    The only protest that would achieve anything is not to go. They already know how the fans feel, and obviously they're not bothered.

    At the moment we are talking about a banner asking the owners to leave, I doubt that breaks any laws.

    Would be behind any Edin out campaign pissed off doesn't come close any happy clappers still happy I want to know why? And no its not about arguing amongst ourselfs I just want to know why anyone is still pro Edin it's about opinions which everyone is entitled to so no slanging matches.

    The countdown massive won’t be impressed, we’ll achieve our target in no time :)

    I suggest something slightly different, the next Sat home game organise a march from North Parade with a huge banner at the front.

    Like we were promised last January? That went well. You'd believe the moon was made of cheese if Edin told you.

    Edin hasn't spent any money on players.

    We sold Hanson and Wkye etc to fund the dross we currently have.

    Edin and Rupp have done jack shi&e for this club

    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 hope they have long arms for one that goes over the stadium.

    The last thing we need on here or as a fan base is to argue amongst ourselves. We might need to have different styles of protest so that ppl can feel comfortable with what they are doing, everything is valid and everyone is valued. These are the ones I have picked up but not exhausted list. We also might need to join in other protests that are taking place.

    1. The airplane banner
    2. Chanting at games
    3. Deliberately walking out of games; to be effective it needs to be organised
    4. Not turning up for matches. As 3.
    5. Protests before and after games outside the ground.
    6. Billboard protest. The Cows arse are organising this, so you can make financial contribution. They are working out what to have in so it is accepted by the advertising company.

    Please feel free to add to the list, we will also need a few ppl to organise any off the above. Then we will need a coordinated media program. Twitter, Facebook etc. Hastag, contracting the traditional media, so photos can be taken/cameras. We all have smartphones these days so any protest can be filmed and out into social media in minutes.

    There is only one option. We all know what to do but I fear that come March time there will be too many who are too selfish to give up their Saturday afternoons. There is only one way to get these cockroaches out of our club. Anyone buying a season ticket for 19/20 is a traitor. You are funding the death of our club. Make no mistake a protest will at best be ignored and at worst be enjoyed as 'light entertainment' by the circus upstairs!

    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.

    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

    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.

    I think Edin has a lot thinner skin than you think. Every piece of bad press, cuts him.

    You only had to see his reaction at the fans forum, to understand that.

    I've always believed in voting with your feet but that's up to the individual.

    If Rahic wont keep you away from the club then maybe the gutless football will. Take yer pick.

    Also putting pressure on sponsors would be a good tactic. Let them know your displeasure. They'll get a more immediate dialogue with the higher up's than any forum member.

    Maybe it goes into a holding pattern over VP.

    If we throw an extra tenner at the pilot he may loop the loop or something so it could be great value
