Kid in the Riot Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 With the greatest respect to @glos old boy 's post asking everyone in a thread to respond by saying 'OUT' if you want LJ gone, it's not going to have the required impact. Now is surely the time for our fan base to GET ORGANISED and stop this madness. STARTING SATURDAY I am horrified to hear that what sounds like a majority of the fans at Deepdale last night actually clapped the players off?! Sorry, but we are complicit in this apathy and if we want change we have to do something tangible! The apathy shown in and around the stadiums at the moment reminds me of the attitude of Roverzzz supporters who accepted being lied to and bent over and shafted for years under Dunford/Higgs. We always have been and always will be better than that! So what can we do? I understand hundreds of supporters have written/emailed the club and these comments have simply been ignored, so we need another plan. We need recognition in the local and national press that we have an owner acting against the best interests of the club and who is ignoring the views of the vast majority of the fan base. How do we do this? We need a visual and vocal presence at all games, starting Saturday, that says to everyone involved in the club that the actions of SL are irresponsible and against the best interests of the club and that LJ is a fraud! banners held at all entrances into AG? Organised meet before the game in one area at say 1.30pm? Let local/national media etc know. It's with great regret that it's come to this but I feel we can't stand by and watch the custodian of our club willfully ignore the will of the supporters anymore.

YorkshireSection Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 En masse, on the pitch, on the pitch. Peaeful protest with season tickets thrown at dugout. Or everyone make a paper aeroplane with Johnson out written on it and throw on the pitch on 13 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree the players are not blameless....They played too well against Huddersfield to be tabled crap,they know what there doing, if they can't work with Johnson fair enough on the training ground but come match day you play your heart out for the fans and the club who after all are paying them bloody good wages....They are a disgrace and letting themselves down as well as the supporters...Professional pride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Right from the start we need to be chanting Johnson out. It's the only thing Lansdown has took notice of so far & several thousand doing so Saturday might force him to change things. Has to be vile atmosphere Saturday. The fans need to write one game off for the greater good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswood Robin Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 If there's enough of us would could actually block him from entering the ground. Be on the look out for a short man, wearing a hat, dark glasses and a fake beard though. I doubt anyone with any power at the club will even realise it's happening, let alone care about it. I'm not sure what we can do. Stay away, all those red seats can't be ignored. Don't renew season tickets and hit them where it hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Both the out thread and more direct action is required, as there are many who have had enough and wont be there; there is a huge swell of anger now relegation or not imo; if SL wont wake up and act we will have to wake him.

Don't distract the players !!!!!! Are you for real ? They were pretty distracted last night, particularly by players in white shirts running rings round them and the ball flying in our net ,whilst they pointed at and blamed each other They downed tools ! Dont think this group (With the very odd exception) need any excuses - they've had their chance and their attitude is clear for all to see They have a head coach they don't rate and don't like and that appears to be a slight distraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have 6 matches left, 4 at home, that could be our salvation, besides no amount of demonstrations will change anything, if you want a fight go join the Marines.

I would much rather the players get distracted by this... it might give them the wake up call they need and make them actually see the sinking ship they're controlling. I've been one of the most positive outlook fans you could find but Saturday and last night have been the breaking point for me. The players have received such fantastic support all season from the fans who have stuck with them through thick and thin even with the LJ issues. I mean this has really worked out so far hasn't it? It's time for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read this after my post, good on you, I feel bad about our demise, but we need to galvanise support for the run in not turn in on ourselves, I suspect KITR is loving every minute, and the worst thing some actually would try and make a protest and it will all end in tears, seen it all before, the best thing he can do for all our sake's is just shut up!! Too late to change the head coach, different ball game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If what KITR suggested happened a couple of months ago we wouldn't be where we are now. Unfortunately there are too many fans with blinded support, who are happy to be treated like idiots, The people who are constantly happy to put up with this shambles are starting to be part of the problem, along with dumb and dumber.

Bridgwaterred0 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 For this game we have to forget about the players and get our point across, we have spent all season supporting them when quite frankly we could have started these protests off in Jan/Feb time but now it has come to the time where it can't carry on, something must be done...
