It was a really good turnout and went really well.
Always some miserable sod who has to put a downer on things.

That's Good then. Perhaps people boycotted and just didnt protest

Repeatedly boycotting wouldn't have an effect anyway.
Think it has already been said that there are other ways to make our opinion heard.

Don't you think we are suffering enough as it is?
That is wasn,t the point surely? We are not boycotting the fa cup, it was just an ideal time to do it as it was a shit draw!! the point IMO is to bring national attention on our plight and also bad publicity to SISU. I want a big draw and i want the ricoh bopping!! pusb

That was a good turnout? How? There was no more than 150 people surely.I'm not being miserable mate, I'm disappointed there wasn't a better turnout.

That was the point of doing it today because it would be easier to convince people to join in as it isn't a very interesting draw, in the eyes of many.

And give lots of money to SISU. They could make £250,000 from that.

So is anyone going back after the game which was originally suggested?

I think that's a mistake, its dark & everyone will want to go home.

based on the Watford protest, most will just go home, a hardcore bunch will almost certainly stay

9000? I hope someone took some pictures of the crowd the stadium after 2nd half kick off, then maybe it will be possible to gauge what it really was.

A work college had just sent me a text and he questioned 9,000 he said 8,000 of that

Firstly there's no way it was 9,000 - ever since SISU came along the attendances quite often seem way off as if they're on some kind of fiddle (would that surprise anyone?)
Secondly; it's not about how many went - it's more about getting in the papers and on the news in order to further damage SISU's reputation.
Investors won't touch them if they see such bad publicity. SISU will be hating this and want out as soon as possible - but are trying to get cash they don't f*cking deserve. Buy the club for £1, remortgage the training ground, sell off the players, get the club relegated and demand a big pay off? F*ck off!!!

Don't think it will mate. We're no different to other supporters and they'll realise that.
Just need to do whatever we can to force these bastards out. Today's protest was a very good start - got national media coverage and the good turnout for the cameras will ensure it's in the news again tomorrow.

I have to agree mate i was there from 2.30 through to 3.15 then went back into the casino when the crowds filtered off and wen't back to the protest at full time. I agree with everything you said embarrassing was not the word it was toe curling. I'm all for the protest and getting SISU out but it was a shambles IMO that said a big thumbs up for the people who made the banners and i'll be sure to 'like' Wingy's posts for a week, after the effort he put in on that coffin, top man.

It's about what the pictures look like for the cameras really - and to be fair they will look like the protest was packed http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150569035575746&set=o.50739830847&type=3&theater

Yeah i kind of agree was a real shame though not to do things a bit more in your face (Right i know i'm going to get some stick for this), i don't mean trashing the club shop smashing the windows etc..... I mean singing some songs with a bit of passion, come on my friend shouted "Fuck off SISU *Too the pompey chime*" and i kid you not three to four people turned around with the filthiest look on there faces stating we were are not aloud to swear as there were kids around? OK, that's fine but surely if the kids are going to a football match they are going to hear that sort of language almost certainly and if you are easily offended and have kids why take them to a protest/ demonstration surrounded by half drunk men at a football match, for me it was all a bit la-di-dah but i hope this could happen again but on a larger scale.

I haven't got problem with your mate singing fuck off sisu, but a peaceful protest ain't the time or place, this was about embarrasing sisu not ourselves. And if that was 150 people then there were only 3000 in the ground. It's no coincidence that wingy was told the attendance would be 9000 by a steward an hour before kick off and then that is the exact attendance announced by the club.For me it was a succes, there were no arrests, nobody going to the game got abused and the press were there to cover it:claping hands:

Came to the demo today from Solihull and did nt go to the match. I thought it went ok but would nt support another demo. I went to support
"save our city" but Im sorry Ashbyjan and Brinner but this was just Sisu out, I would nt support the demo again. It was sold as Save our City
it was nt . I want Sisu to go as much as most people but not at any cost, we need to know someone is bidding for the club. Theres no known bid
I do nt want a non league club to support, a want a league club, cov to support and I will no matter what league we are in.Pusb

Only reason I'd be against the swearing is that the media is less likely to take an interest in it.

Sounds as though the protest didn't go as planned? Can anyone give anymore details of what actually happened?
I'll be honest, I didn't notice any difference in the crowd from kick off to 15 mins in.
The coffin looked excellent though.

When I was at the ticket office I would say there were around 150 people congregated at the statue but only about half of that were chanting, although the pictures on twitter do look really good.

As a starter protest on a cold January it was not bad. Plenty of people before the game to put the anti sisu view across. After the game not as many protestors but what does anyone expect, it was cold, dark and dismall! Good on Geoff Foster who stopped the full fifteen minutes into the game.
Wait till nearer the warmer end of the season when historically the most supported and "passionate" City protests occur, ie succsessful Strachan and Richardson out campaigns.
Untill then lets keep it going every game , keep the pressure on Sisu.

From a Rovers fan---Do your stewards leave you alone now if you display protest banners in the ground ? Ive seen the trouble they caused by trying to remove them a while ago on Youtube.
Good luck with getting your owners out, i hope you get positive help from the media.
We just get lies and more lies but when you have muppets on SSN and other pundits who are under the same agency as your backstabbing manager your shafted.
Are your owners asset tripping you?

Ive just watched it. What an idiot that copper was. Tells him to sit down and as soon as he does the coppers have a game of 'stretcher armstrong' with him.
Good luck with your Protests and dont let your owners divide you with their spin and lies.

too late, that's already happening, particularly with fans who are 100% against the boycott/protests
@richh87

Yeah. I've no idea what those people are on. They see SISU killing the club before their very eyes, know that Hoffman has bid - and yet not only can't be arsed to join in, but have the nerve to criticize the protesters.
