Harry Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 In light of the frankly arrogant, patronising and unsympathetic response from Jon Lansdown on the matter of the price increases which most affect families, the elderly and the disabled, we need to show solidarity as a whole fanbase to protect our fans of the future and our fathers & grandfathers of long and loyal standing. Section 82 were planning a card display with a protest theme, but we are now advised that no card displays are allowed due to the FA warning after paper aeroplanes were launched at the Cardiff match in November. Whilst some may disagree, we must make a visible statement and we believe the best way to do this is a mass walkout. This will be a 15 minute protest. I’m walking out on 30 minutes and I will go and get a drink at one of the stalls outside the ground. The chaps of Section 82 are all doing so too. We ask as many of you as are inclined, to join us Some may think this affects the team. I don’t. If you are behind it, leave with me on 30 minutes. It’s only a 15 minute protest, you can go back in for the 2nd half. Hopefully this will be enough to not affect the team but to also be enough of a visible statement. Sneaky & Dirty - I’m out at 30. Solidarity. Fans not customers. So F Off Bristol Sport, you need our support, we say no no no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 @Jack Dawe (I think) said something on the SC&T thread that I thought would make an excellent addition to this. Be disruptive, but peaceful. Pack out the sports bar and buy nothing, clog up the concourse concessions, get the club nervous. I want to see JL thoroughly rustled.

Alex#40 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 The worst thing is the club will play on the weakness of the larger situation. They know its murder to get out of a mid-row of the Dolman at any point, especially in the back rows where we sit. I am fully behind the walk out as I think the increases, the deadline and most of all the attitude of the club's higher ups are appalling. However as a Dad who takes his 6 year old to the game he wants to get a drink, or a snack, or go to the loo at some points and so a packed concourse could be an issue with that. I wouldn't be surprised if the club get wind of these excellent, well thought out and peaceful plans and have more stewards etc on hand to "move people on" using my type of situation as cover for it. Frankly I'll take snacks etc with me tomorrow so I don't have to worry but they'll spin this and make out that they're helping "families and disabled fans to be able to enjoy the facilities" type thing. For my boy's sake I hope its not a toxic atmosphere tomorrow as he wouldn't get it but from a fan of 30 years perspective I'm all for "The Board" knowing exactly how we all feel, I just can't help but think that the Spin Machine will be in full effect during and after tomorrow's game putting any inconveniences caused, or lack of atmosphere, or even poor result back on us as fans rather than taking the required long, hard look at themselves and the situation.

gordie Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 My concern is that not enough will know what is going to make an impression, yes it's good it's on here Facebook etc but will that be widespread enough, guess we will find out tomorrow.

Bristol Rob Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Given the limited amount of time to organise communication, would it be possible that someone writes a statement explaining; The complaint The contemptible response from the club The planned action. If there is a concise statement, maybe individually people could home (or work print) as many copies as they can (might be one copy, might be 100) and then for fans to distribute these in the pubs before the game and around the concoure when in the stadium. As long as they all read the same there won't be any confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilksi Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I would say it is worth contacting twentystone and other reporters on twitter etc asking them to pick up on this and publish this so more people are aware of it before the game tomorrow.
