KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Protest Idea

Everyone attending Anfield games for the remaining of 2010 who intends on boycotting games in Jan 2011 ( in protest ) should wear black. Imagine the scene. The number of people dressed in black growing and growing up until Christmas so eventually the whole of the home support is in black. Hicks and Gillett and the whole world will look at this and think none of these guys in black are coming back here in 2011 until we're gone. It will make it easier for them to picture the empty seats, the revenue lost and it will get shed loads of media attention. Once it gets publicity our fan base will realize that we ARE actually in control, it's OUR club. If it gained momentum and more and more people wore black at each home game it would work out unbelievably well. Let's back up Thommo who says boycott but lets do it with more drama so we get more attention and we'll frighten the [oops] out of hicks and co. it could even go a step further by refusing to watch them on telly, it would be the ultimate sacrifice for the long term good. WHAT A PLAN...over to you editor start the campaign.

like our black away jersey?

I understand the feelings which lead to protests but its not going to achieve much just look what the utd fans achieved when protesting against the glaziers take-over.

Boycott of games is not a good idea and i'll tell you why. Any potential investor will have doubts over the fans coming back and also over building a bigger stadium. Now you and me know fans will come back and new ones will come as well but when you are risking millions you may have doubts.

Link to the protest jersey webpage,i can vouch for the quality of them.

Redphil, u must be joking when u say investor will be fearing to lose fans!! Enquire about LFC's popularity across the world, you will get the answer. The statement "YNWA" is true. Anywhere in the world you go you will find die-hard fans. I agree with protest marches. Don't forget, these protest marches tactics was very vital for Gandhi in his bid for india's independence. But the timing and location of protests is vital. Protests must not be organized only on match-day! We must protest every time the owners and other influential members hold a meeting. We must pop in every time the owners show up into the city. We must protest in a calm and civilized way to show we are educated, respected and wise people. We must not attract negative media attention but in fact must attract media for being an exemplary fans and maybe, be referred in the future for our commitment to the club. Every1 is frustrated, including me, I feel like smashing the heads of the owners but peace is the answer that will bring solution to our problem. Peace and love. YNWA.

Credit to andrew it seems a decent idea.

If people don't think boycott is the answer then on saying that do you have any better ideas?

The way of really gettin to hicks & gilette is hitting there wallets, nothing else will effect them personally other than that.

First things first is save our club and get rid of them, we can worry about what comes afterwards when they are gone.
