Was still the Old Show Ground last time I went to a match with flairs.
On a more serious note York’s needing the trainer on every 5 minutes for mysterious injuries and the referees “look at me” antics both disrupted the game far more than the Donny Road boys.

FIVE minutes time added on? There was surely more than five minutes in York’s first three second half injuries alone!
I was expecting 9+ and 11 would not have surprised me.1 user thanked author for this post.
There comes a time when you tire of sitting there twiddling your thumbs, and feel the need to take action.
There is not much impact to be made at any time or place, other than on the pitch during the match. You cannot invade the pitch, so tennis balls are an option. I’m just glad that there was no misbehaving during the minutes silence and the national anthem.

I think the tennis balls (if done on mass) and the Swann out banners were needed when Swann was actually at some home games… right now the only people affected are the players, it’s an absolute waste of time.
Flares onto the pitch and into crowds of players is totally unacceptable and should result in life time bans.
Any demonstration needs to be aimed at Swann personally and have press/wider involvement eg A coffin carried to stadium with media coverage shaming Swann for what he’s done to SUFC.
What I’m saying in a nutshell is the protest today didn’t make any impact on Swann
Any future protest needs to bring the message to the outside/wider community who swann really is and what he’s done to this football club!
And it shouldn’t happen during the 90 minutes on a match day!
Our players need support NOT distraction.4 users thanked author for this post.
Swann will be told and see what happened,it’s all pressure on him, how exactly does a coffin outside the ground effect him more than something that happens inside which his board sees?

Idiots behind the goal putting banners in the faces of other paying supporters as happened agsinst Yoevil is not acceptable. I agree that protests are a legitimate action against people like Swann but they should never be at the cost of annoying the rest of the supporters.

Agree with the protests but they really need to stop chucking bottles on to the pitch, especially when they are directed at players.
One hit Beestin on the hand yesterday, who was visibly in pain and annoyed by it.

What is needed is a properly organised demonstration which will attract the media, not just the local media, to name and shame the Swanns and show all the footballing community what the Swanns have done to our club and the consequences of it. Imagine if this were happening to Hull City there would have been plenty of demonstrations well before now.

Maybe some old fart running on the pitch and setting fire to himself would do the trick, any takers?.

A coffin on display will boost attendances a hundred fold.
They’ll be queuing all the way back up to Britannia Corner before you know it!

Well you seem to meet all the criteria you describe so fill your boots. Let us know which game and we can all bring popcorn.🍿

Flares and bottles on the pitch is just stupid.
It will all go in the refs report, the club is hit with a fine and then the club is futher in debt to Swann.2 users thanked author for this post.

Misread that, thought you’d said one had hit Hallam and he’s now out injured!
Shouldn’t be throwing anything onto the pitch, tennis balls included. Protests yes, but within the law.

I assume the club pays more than plenty to have stewards and police. They just stood there and looked and pointed a few times at the crowd. If I was paying the bill I would be asking for a refund, may as well have had cardboard cutouts.

There’s never a correct form of protest for some people, is there?
I think it’s a good thing that fans are venting their views. Ultimately, I think it will send a message to potential buyers that there is a club worth saving here. Why would you get involved in a club where the fans are apathetic to it being destroyed?

If you’re telling me that a) you couldn’t move a few feet to an empty spot to see the game and b) you wanted to see the ‘football’ we are playing at the minute, then I have some magic beans to sell you!

The very first protest at a match against the Allams saw Hull almost immediately score a goal. That pished on the ‘protests distract the players’ argument. That said owners usually go at a time of their own choice, I doubt Swann will be any different. 🙂

I’m all for protesting to get Swann out the club but those lads behind the goal (who normally give great support) were just being dick heads on Saturday.

One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter, the dickheads behind the goal are the only ones who are going to get things noticed. What have any of you done other than just bloody moan?.
