The problem there is that they will always sell the tickets to buyers! And they don't care who they are, more tourist types and less hardcore fans.... not a problem to them!

SEASON TICKET HOLDERS NEED TO STAY AWAY OR WALK OUT AT HALF TIME

THAT WONT DO MUCH, ANY BANNERS WILL BE TAKEN DOWN, STAY AWAY FROM THE GAME OR ALL WALK OUT AT A SET TIME, REMEMBER THE GAME WILL BE SHOWN LIVE AROUND THE WORLD AND ITS ON TNT SPORTS, THE OWNERS WILL NOT BE WANTING ANY BAD PUBLICITY

You don't think 90 minutes of that sort of chanting will constitute "bad publicity" ? 

A whole stadium shouting to get rid of the owners and singing in support of their predecessors ? 

If the owners and SDs are in attendance the cameras will be on them squirming all game LOL

I agree with the sentiment but people are not going to stay away. It ain't happening. 

What about a march from Eel Brook Common to the game with banners and chanting etc. Follow this up with a sit in after the match. A noisy sit in after the match could make for very uncomfortable viewing by the Directors should Sky be broadcasting.

Sounds good BUT our support is crap, most supporters are asleep and only make any noise if we score a goal, and that lasts for about 5 minutes and everyone drifts off, we used to say Highbury was the Library but we have gone that way

Ok our fans better not get outdone by Spurs fans, that would be embarrassing.

The super league protest outside the ground was successful. If enough are there before the coaches arrive it could delay ko and cause problems. With tv there it could be shown as well.

Have the owners of any football club ever sold the club because of a protest? Or even just notably changed the way the club is run?

Happens all the time for Barcelona, Bayern etc.

If a large group of people keep going to a restaurant every day and screaming the service is sh*t, the owner is sh*t, the food is sh*t, I don't think the restaurant will mind because they're giving them money every day. 

It's a business, people are giving them money to complain, the best way to protest is to protest with your wallet first and foremost.

What was the turnout for the Super League?

It'll benefit the owners. They'll be able to cancel the season tickets and have more tickets to sell online to their third party websites.

The club wants the season ticket holders gone, they don't give a sh*t what they think.

Might be better if our hard-core fans do what the Italian and Turkish ultras do when they don't like what is happening at their clubs? Go down to the ground en-masse and physically intimidate those they are unhappy with.

Of course that assumes that we have any hard-core fans left.

Sky at the time said between 2-3,000

NO LET UP IS THERE

Former Chelsea owner in tax spat

One Labour MP yesterday suggested that the Government could raid Abramovich’s bank account to help fund the uptake in defence spending, according to Politico Playbook, which added that upset members of parliament have been suggesting ways to fund defence spending without cutting the foreign aid budget.

A letter from the former Chelsea owner during the sale process insisted the money would be earmarked “for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine”. 

But a letter to HMRC from MP Joe Powell last month read that Abramovich must be investigated over his taxation status after leaked papers showed associated investments to the tune of nearly £5bn went through the British Virgin Islands despite evidence seen by the BBC suggesting that the UK was involved. This would make him eligible to pay tax in the United Kingdom.

The letter asked HMRC to investigate and, if appropriate, to reclaim any funds potentially owed by Roman Abramovich to the UK tax authorities”.

Is not a surprise the UK government are looking for ways to claim that money, some of us have seen that as one of their main motivations from the get go.
