Anyone for Tennis ? (1 Viewer)

That's a bit extreme.

SISU is a faceless name who nobody knows and so they don't care. I think the best way to get these out is to make it personal. Sepalla and Fisher need to be the targets for our abuse. Hopefully they'll feel personally threatened that some nutjob might actually cause them harm. I think we're past playing nice.

I find it amazing that somebody hasn't had a good go at Fisher yet

Maybe the OP is planning to throw a shopping trolley on the pitch and the thread title is just a ruse to distract the club stewards into vigilantly watching out for tennis balls whilst hundreds of trolleys are sneaked past them, hidden in plain sight....

it wasn't my trolley, it's was hers....

 

[pastythegreat]

FFS - not even amusing. At least the pigs were funny;

Don't get me wrong, I'm in favour of imaginative protests but it seems like the well of good ideas is running dry.

Was there EVER a well of ideas?

Now I like her two point bullet plan for a protest.

 

[rupert_bear]

Doesn't need that type of protest now, or whistles and going on the field of play been done to death now. Just the constant threat of will they encroach or not means extra security and costly police presence at all games when not needed.

 

[Skybluefaz]

The cat is out of the bag though now the plan is revealed on SBT. I think you're just after a cheeky cavity search by a big burly steward.

 

[trevelfarandwide]

Unless you plan to fit those tennis balls with C4, a timer, a charge and a detonator, and hide them in Tim's tennis club bag...

..."Hang on Joy, watch this power serve, I'm a manly bearded man...KABLAMMO!"

Knowing our luck it'd only take his racquet out.

 

[Gosford Green]

If (well lets be positive)we loose the tennis balls will be responsible and there will at least one drama queen saying they witnessed terrified children cowering under a hailstorm of tennis balls.

Right towards Tims head.

Don't forget the thuggery.

Or cries on here of "lock them up, ban them for life".

You hardly ever get a racquet at the Ricoh, it's soulless and like a library.

Is that a backhanded compliment to wasps?

 

[Covstu]

Joking apart who are these tennis balls going to be aimed at? Players?

Things like this are not helping us in my opinion

 

[skybluebeduff]

I love peoples enthusiasm to create protests, we can't just sit by and allow the shit to our club to be ignored. But like Stu just said, what will they achieve?

Tennis ball protests have been done elsewhere a number of times and have received a lot of positive publicity.

Dortmund:

Blackpool:

Sevilla:

I'm not suggesting we should all be heading to Decathlon to stock up before today's game, but I also don't get the negativity. To me, it seems like a harmless, non-aggressive, yet visible form of protest that has had positive reactions elsewhere. Not for today maybe, but I certainly wouldn't cry about it if it happened.

You always try and take Centre Court don't you ;-)

 

[clint van damme]

I've nothing against disrupting games, but I can't see the logic behind doing this today.
Charlton was a joint effort with their supporters, Sheff utd was on Sky which was obviously an opportunity too good to be missed,last weeks was quite symbolic as it was at Sixfields, but to do it today just seems like disruption for the sake of it and I just think if you start doing it every week for the sake of it it loses it's effectiveness.

And when, more than anything, we desperately need 3 points are we going to stop/interrupt play today?

Let's have a look how results have gone for us EVERY other time we've had protests that have interfered with play.
•Sheff Utd, went from 1point from top of the league to losing.
•Bolton, went from beating 2nd in the league to taking a point.
•Northampton, smashed 3-0 by a averagely poor league 1 team.

Not exactly a great record. My concern would be safety 1st. Protest before, after and away from the game. Anything that could affect the outcome of the game is a no goer for me. Can't believe people would happily see the club decline even further just to get sisu out! Do you really think a fan led takeover would work? Look how divided the fans are now. We can't even agree on what goalkeeper should start between RCC and Burge, how would we run a football club?

Honestly don't worry about the three points it will make no difference this is the worst team I have seen this year and we are certain to go down. We lost points against all those teams because our team is bad not because of any protest.

The whole point of the protests are publicity if they arrange a protest after the game nobody notices do it in the game people do.

I agree about fan ownership though it scares the life out of me.

 

[Rodders1]

I think the constant continuation of protests is indeed the way forward. TF spend a whole day on the radio after the Sheff U game. It's definitely something that had an effect on his usual "I don't give a fuck about the club" attitude.

We've got to continue with it. It is our way of showing we want things to change.

On another note I honestly think it's a matter of time before TF gets assaulted. I do fear for his safety going forward. I really think he needs to step down for everyone's benefit.

 

[ajsccfc]

Are they going to be belting them in from outside the ground? Might need more than six each.

Hoping that anyone (even panto villain Tim Fisher) may have to fear for their life from a nutjob is mental.

Like I said, not for today. Another disrupted game would indeed be divisive. I was just making the point that, as a form of protest, it has been done before and is not as silly as some were making out. I wouldn't encourage that today though. The timing of these things is important. Perhaps the visit of Charlton would be a better time for this sort of thing (but as for protests before and after the game today, no issue whatsoever).

If the do protest before and after the game properly then it will/should create enough attention.

Let's be honest about FTJHW, why is everything SO secretive? Ok, you don't want to telegraph smoke bombs and pigs and tennis balls just so every steward is on it like a tramp on chips with searches! But the sit in at Bolton?! Why the 'secret' we'll tweet the plan on the 75th minute?! As if the stewards police could of done anything anyway! Now today's walk out at 80mins was tweeted out today, the day of the protest!
Most of the people who sit near me are in their 60s and don't have twitter! How, are they gonna know about a sit in arranged on the 75th minute?
Build it up for a week before hand though and that 50 person sit in becomes a few hundred!

I have seen 1 shot on target in the last 180 minutes of football against 2 of giants in the game that are Fleetwood and Northampton, any one with the slightest knowledge of football can see this team is not even up to the Vanarama level, we are a certainty to go down both on and off the pitch as we will have no where to play in a few months and we still have among us people that will point the clubs failings from board room to first eleven at fans with the desire to try and do something.

If that what you think I'm doing then carry on pal yeah! Nice one fella! I truly hope that your idea works! Your plan has no brains or structure or support from the majority of fans that attend games but you crack on fella!

We will have to disagree on the protests the ones after the game have made no difference at all.

I guess they have to keep them a bit secretive so the police and the stewards can't make plans against them.

They haven't worked AT ALL I agree but because only 50 people sat near to the person that agganged it on the bag of a fag packet at half time knew about it! How on earth can the police/stewards stop you from sitting in your seat after full time? How can they stop people from standing up and leaving early? What a load of fucking rubbish!

I would say I am a very placid person but if he dropped dead in front of me I would only wait around to check that he was gone.

Why? Because you've got no answer to that? Because you're post was pointless!
'Don't PRE arrange and walk out protest because sisu will make the stewards block the exits'!
