Many fans have protested only silently by not renewing season tickets or attending matches.
Whilst others won’t buy club merchandise or purchase food/drink in the ground.
I do however wish our supporters had been more vocal and demonstrative in their actions, alas we are left to reflect on possibly the highlight of the season and certainly the most memorable involving a number of small green balls.
Many people are still protesting by not renewing season tickets until a sale by the current owner is finally done. After many false promises they have learned to wait for an outcome and not rely on empty words.
Yes Ernest it’s not cost, relegation or COVID it’s YOU.

I think our predicament has been so obvious for so long we’ve given in months if not years ago.
Not saying it’s right but if you take my family… 3 generations attended every Saturday BUT now NONE attend because the football is shambolic and the owner is……… (I’ll let you fill in the blanks)
Our protest is to stay away, and has been for along time now!
Yes, I know that doesn’t help the club financially but it’s how we chose to make a stand and many others have done the same.If the club show some fight we will be back!!!
As for a physical protest… I’m also disappointed there’s been nothing more! I’m not sure how the guys still attending each week haven’t absolutely lost it and done something like the Oldham fans did.
Maybe the 1,500 still going just like wasting their money and their time and enjoy watching a load of rubbish??

‘maybe it’s because scunny is a Tory seat, but more likely no one as even noticed our predicament.’
Haven’t noticed, and even if they have, couldn’t care less. And as someone pointed out recently, we’re hardly a hotbed of radical action are we? No one agrees on anything, hardly ever a general consensus and most speaking up or out have been frequently mocked or scorned. This is the reality of our situation and why most outside the club and area don’t care much about it. Why should they if the majority haven’t been shouting about it? That’s how I see it anyway.
It’s OK organising a protest on the pitch but the person we would be protesting against will not be there as Swann is aware he is very disliked

I believe the Oldham owner wasn’t at their game at the weekend. I believe a benefit of it would be to bring the plight to a media spotlight, so it wouldn’t matter if the owner is there or not for this.
That said, I am wary of risking the club facing consequences from the authorities and it isn’t a guaranteed success in its mission to put pressure on Swann. We have a supposed consortium interested and I am not sure if this action would help that along in any way. If Swann was not yet selling this argument of putting pressure on would have more weight.
That said, Swann is not trustworthy, as past promises have not come to fruition, and we know next to nothing about the supposed takeover, so I can’t blame fans for getting impatient on this.

“Yep bang on Deerey you frequently mocked and scorned our attempt at Harrogate to protest. You are part of the problem.’
Ha,don’t make me laugh! The only people I took the piss out of (post event, not before I will add) was you and your cohorts for your failed attempt at encouraging fellow fans to leave the ground. It’s even more laughable when you keep bringing up being a shop steward. You are actually part of the problem, deriding posters on here thinking about other forms of protest that aren’t your idea and being a frequent Swann apologist. Spat your dummy out I reckon 🤣

“The game was halted for three minutes after tennis balls were thrown onto the pitch by angry home fans while four of them ran onto the pitch to protest to minimal effect”
Was that you and your grandkids Awaywego?
