Protest against the owner all remaining home games.

[Loggerheads Sage]

Not caught this on earlier posts.

Are you referring to the demo v Crawley Town?

 

There were probably a few hundred people before and after the game, some who did media interviews, etc.

Strangely they all disappeared prior to kick of leaving no more than about 7 or 8 outside the main entrance during the whole game. I do remember Old Sage and his lad, they don't know me but I was there, my daughter was in the ground.

People who did come out of the boxes for a smoke were abusive.

I was very disapointed in certain people who glady fronted the attention but then 'did one'

I'd be up for any demo but not in those circumstances, we need an en mass effort.

 

Yes it was Crawley mate, first game of the season following the march up from Burslem. There was a sizable protest outside til well after kick off. I remember Mike Lloyd came out to speak to us and someone took my B and G scarf off and put it round his neck, lol. Someone asked him if he was joining us as the match was well under way. I would say that folk drifted off gradually after half an hour or so. I left probably 15 minutes before the end of the game, was driving in to Newcastle as we scored very late on. Why oh why do we attract such crap owners?

How will this encourage some other prospective owner to put his/er head over the parapet? Surely better to sound out someone before it turns nasty.

Who is going to "sound out prospective new owners?" Any such new owners will not be deterred by fans protesting against the very loon they want to succeed. Are you saying we need to sit tight then and continue to absorb the insanity , insensitivity and apparent lack of care from Smurthwaite? That is going one way..., the wrong way.

Coventry and Blackpool fans have been protesting for years and look what's happened,both promoted and a sky blues cup win.

Mind you both owners are still there?

Nothing to lose then have we?

The only problem with protesting after the kick off time is that Smurthwaite knows that most are ST holders and will close the gates out of spite.

People could do what they did at Brondby a few years back; go into the ground so you are let in, but stand under or behind the stands. Then go to your seats, when the protest finishes.

Just an idea.

Can’t say I want to stand in the paddock toilets for any longer than I need too!

Oystons will soon be packing and fled. Hopefully.

How does that hurt, effect Smurfat??

[wwindsor]

Thats the one. On both sites the number of likes at the moment stands at 362, a very decent number of fans of just Facebook supporting the Black and Gold campaign..

 

The number now stands at just under 400!!!

Rob it might show that a section of the loyal fanbase actually care so much for the club that they would even think of trying something like this. We could be turning a negative into a positve for any intetested parties..

An empty ground just before the game started would make quite a statement. TV cameras would be sure to pick up on it.

[Beza]

The numbers are bigger than 400 trust me. Folk can't be arsed to vote. They are just pizzed off with everything about Port Vale at the moment under the present owner. I know I keep going on about Smurftwat but please for the future of Port Vale wake up you Smurftwat lovers. Time to go

He said enter the ground as normal, and wait behind the stands then go in! WHAT? How’s that hurt anyone, also TV cameras??????

Totally agree mate. Many are not on ovf, Facebook or Twitter, etc but if the crowds see definite efforts to show their displeasure then more and more will follow. After all we Valiants are a shy, retiring bunch and need a kick up the jacksie to galvanize us.
