    This is true, but less bums on seats means less revenue on pies,alcohol etc, as i said with heavy heart I'm not attending while these two chancers are still at our club and after reading through the threads today a lot more people are doing the same.

    I'm stunned that people STILL think that banners / flyovers / marches / chanting / etc etc have any impact on owners. This thread is frankly embarrassing. It feels more like a carnival planning thread. Edin wont care and the national press wont care! Its a shame people can't actually bring themsleves to boycott the games while these idiots are in charge but then a lot of people seem to be all talk. If you want the owners to leave, stop going to games. It's that simple!

    Good for you for making the sacrifice! Well done for actually making the only valuable contribution in getting the owners out of the club.

    But that is different from protesting, I was wondering if you had your own view as to how to protest effectively?

    Lovely sentiment, but protests like the ones being discussed have worked at places like Charlton, while boycotts like the one you suggest didn't work at Blackpool.

    Lets stop pretending all owners are the same.

    We need to try various options to find out what buttons are best to press. There isn't one simple answer. In some cases there doesn't even appear to be an answer full stop.

    We can't use bad examples as a reason for not trying things.

    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.

    Not entirely accurate. Doesn't SYB have 88 accounts? ;)

    It's the only way and the only true ammunition we have to show these idiots what we think.

    Edin will be effected. Trust me he will.

    You really think all supporters of clubs will not go to games? That idea is a non starter.

    Don't forget Rupp too. Which brings me to this one; organise the banner to fly over some obscure (to us) German racetrack where Rupp and his team will be competing. That would get them some unwanted publicity at home too.

    Is that any more embarrassing than an empty ground the sponsors wouldn't be too happy about that

    I know early rounds of the fa cup don't get big attendances but if all stayed away if we get a home draw that would get to the owners as they would still have to pay for policing and the rest of the match day staff whilst not getting any money in through attendance or sales.

    True and it would give a true picture of the Rahic effect.

    He already has money from season tickets but if people don't buy fa cup tickets or pay on the day that will give the message to rupp that his investment is going the same way as the team.
