    Can we also orchestrate a chorus of 'We want the owners out' as the fly by is happening?

    Can @Ronnie Brown contact Pompey fans to see if they will join in? On another thread he was posting about going on other teams forums....just to maximise stuff.

    Abbomf maybe you could flypost all the way up North Parade, Manningham Lane and Midland Rd advising people and asking them to join in?

    By the way, I've emailed Clear Channel who run the billboard on Manningham Lane by Tesco Express asking for prices.

    The majority resist change, and don't like to be uncomfortable. Whether it gets booed is another matter.

    As for 'not working', quantify it.

    Catastrophic, instant change? Or a slow rising in dissatisfaction given form?

    It's a visual statement, not a death warrant.

    Your hostility is baffling when it's a feeling that's been being represented, not done final solution.

    In those terms, it can't POSSIBLY fail.

    Dress it up how you want, and if the silent majority boo, so what. Let the discussions continue :)

    Possibly not, but doing nothing is no longer an option. If this fly-by prompts fans to join protests, then it has worked

    Just seen this Jon. I have funds available if you need me to pay for it. You can settle up once the funds can be released from JustGiving

    Unless anyone has a better idea, a simple 'We Want Edin Out' in line with the chants works imo.

    Of course Stefan Rupp is not blameless. At the very least he has stood by and allowed Edin to do what he has done.

    However, I think it is right that Edin should be the main focus of any protests, as he is the one whose involvement, on a day to day basis, has allowed this mess to develop.

    Stefan could still save the situation, by effectively sacking Edin, and appointing a proper CEO to turn the Club around; not very likely I'm afraid, but he could still get the fans back onside if he acts quickly.

    For Edin, it looks like its far too late for him to redeem himself, and that's why he should be the main focus of the protests. At least for now.

    To be honest, I think if you're using the EXACT wording as reason not to donate, you probably don't want to donate.

    I'd love the flyover Vs Scunthorpe. I'm sure there will be media attention around Macca and his previous roles at City and noted issues around ER.

    A decent attendance being close to Christmas. The message must reach a wide ranging broad attendance, hopefully assisted by the media.

    A flyover isn't going to solve anything, but that's not the point.

    The point is, feelings are high, anymosity is rife, and people are getting frustrated about feeling frustrated. They're sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. They're waiting for something to kick in.

    A very visual show of the strength of feeling is what's on offer. It's not cheap, which shows people aren't just talking about being unhappy, they're actually willing to pay good money for a poignant spectacle.

    If the fans can be bothered to put a banner on the frigging sky to make their point, that says a lot. The rest is cheap and can be done readily. You can't do something like this just because you conceded some late penalties. You have to commit to wanting to do it, then commit to actually doing it.

    As for the impact it will have, that's down to us. When the funding is complete, I will be sending emails to the EFL Show, and various papers, local and otherwise. I would encourage everyone here to do the same. Get on the radio phone ins, not just Leeds radio, but five live. Look North. Talk about it. Make it mean something.

    The press have already shown an interest in our situation. Let's make the most of it.

    This IS important.
