i doubt ill stay,not sure it do any good

 

[rob9872]

Great idea - has this been tried before? What was the outcome? I think I'll head back to the car in time to hear MR saying how well we played and that Burton were a good side - a really, really good side, but we've shown how far we've come as a group and just those few small basic individual errors to work on, but we're not far away, not far away at all. We'll prepare now for Tuesday and see where it can take us"

 

[ccfchoi87]

Unfortunately, like most, I will be heading back to the pub instead.

 

[shmmeee]

I’ll be staying in my seat after the game...












I’m listening at home.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Doesn't really achieve much in my eyes, just heard it on the TV this morning! Fair play to them that do take part though

 

[SkyBlueCRJ]

Yeah fair play to those who take part but I think it's a waste of time personally.

 

[Magwitch]

It’s something though as for what will it achieve probably just a little publicity. I just hope a decent lot stay this time

 

[MalcSB]

Wouldn’t a sit in at a wasps match create more publicity?

 

[chiefdave]

Sit in could work. Wasps have a home game tomorrow, if people refused to leave until Wasps agreed to open talks with the club that might do something or at the very least give them a bit of a panic.

It would need to be a pretty big sit in though. Only then would it work in causing disruption and creating publicity. Otherwise Wasps can simply call the police and have people removed under the charge of trespassing.

Indeed they could but I suspect Wasps refuse to talk to football club and forcibly remove fans will generate more press than fans hang around for 30 minutes after a match will.

FairPlay to anyone who is doing anything but not sure it will achieve much if it is just a repeat of the last couple of weeks.

I don't think Wasps forcibly removing people would give them bad press as it would just be spun as Football Club stewards etc.

It would be within their right though? IMO the majority of fans wouldn't have the balls to do this so I doubt it would even come to that. If it's 10 people remaining in the Ricoh would it really create negative publicity? I personally don't think so as they'd just be seen as a nuisance.

Yeah I mean at least they're trying I can't knock them from that perspective. The idea is there it just doesn't possess enough weight. Not unless a significant number of fans join in.

It wouldn’t be football stewards, would it?

Do you think the local media would allow it to look bad on Wasps?

Ideally all of Singers Corner and those who like encroaching, seated together and producing sky blue scarves at an appropriate moment. With the possibility of it repeating at random intervals next season if ccfc is no more and there is time on people’s hands on a Saturday afternoon,

At least ccfc/ Sisu are allowing peaceful protest

 

[ccfcricoh]

It's really hard to know what's worth doing or not...

Things for publicity clearly aren't working, we were on Sky against Luton and it was mentioned a number of times and they actually spoke about it more than i thought they would, we wont get better "publicity" than that, and that did sweet FA.

Most people in the football world know the position we are in already, but do nothing about it.

Nothing at all against those trying things as the saying goes, "its better to do something than nothing at all!" But sitting at the Ricoh after a game with no-one else there wont achieve much other than maybe a comment in the telegraph

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

They would get more publicity if it were a shit in to get across the situation we're in. I'm not suggesting they do that by the way.

Haven't people being doing that for years by the scoreboard anyway?

I was going to say the last time they did it they moved the scoreboard

 

[shmmeee]

If it was properly planned and say 100 of us brought blankets and spent the night there it’d be amazing. 10 people who get moved on after ten minutes not so much.

Wasps would probably spin it saying how they were giving shelter to the homeless.

Unless someone gets behind it then there's no chance it would be organised. This is what the Trust should be organising, not a jolly boys outing to London.

If the lease is renewed they'll be spinning it like that anyway.

Correct

I think the trespass charge which the police can use is aggravated trespass under section 68 of the Public Order Act 1994. It may be easier though for them to use a Breach of the Peace charge. This is because people will have already been given permission to enter the ground, which might complicate things.

I doubt whether any action will be taken though.

Interestingly I had a quick look and it could actually fall under squatting. Squatting is illegal in a residential property but not in a commercial property. Although i'm sure the police would spin it as I'm sure the majority including myself aren't well versed in the laws of the land.

Provided i's peaceful, I can't see the police wanting to get involved at all - just think of all the paperwork.

Like I said it depends how many people are there. They wouldn't necessarily have to make arrests, just move people on. If there's too many people for them to do anything then they more than likely won't but they'd at least have to come and investigate if called. It's their legal duty to do so.

I'm sure they will be in attendance if requested, but I believe it's unlikely they will intervene, provided people keep their heads and don't do anything provocative.

If I ran onto the pitch during a Wasps game, will I just get banned from attending Rugby matches? if so I could live with that, my only concern would be getting rugby tackled by one of the players.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Trespass is a civil offence, so the police couldn't get involved unless it became a breach of the peace or Wasps got a court order which was then ignored.
The other issue that it has to be the LAND OWNER who brings the civil suit of trespass. Now who owns the freehold of the Ricoh? City Council, if memory serves!!
