Said it before. Take in balloons blow them up at a certain time then release. If too many get onto playing surface game will be delayed. Doesn't affect result but would get more media coverage. Black and white preferable.
Given the wide open spaces at The Valley these days wouldn't it be easier for the main body of protesters to mass in one of the stands (North lower?) and
A big protest banner past round the crowd, would draw attention.
theres not enough crowd to do that nowadays
Would be irritating to for people to have to keep getting up and walking across to the next person in the 'crowd' (about 20 yards away) to hand them the banner
Get the Samba band back. When they turned up to a Red White and Black event at The Valley, they had to be moved on because the team talk couldn't take place as they were too noisy outside the portakabin changing rooms.
At the next after-match Valley protest we need to ensure there are protesters and photographers to cover all possible KM/KF/RM escape routes. The club will have to hire additional security and police even if it doesn't actually happen.
Next Monday, 18th January, the U21's are due to play at home either VCD or Sparrows Lane. Season ticket holders are admitted free to these games on production of your season card.
The small 12W megaphone looks good. Would fit into a small rucksack. No idea what you would disguise it as though.
Not sure if that would be loud enough.
I think you can get 80 watt ones that have a projected field of 1500 meters apparently, for about sixty quid.
I reckon a creative use of megaphones both at the Valley and Sparrows Lane would be effective. There are laws about foul and abusive language, and causing a disturbance which would be a matter of judgement (disturbance). For example if your megaphone rant is called a disturbance, it can be countered by saying you are wanting your voice heard.
For an offence is to be proved, after a warning I believe, then any 'noise' has to be measured by a device, but loudspeakers can be used between 8am and 9pm. aircraft noise, factory noise and such like happens all the time. A monologue across the spaces of Sparrows Lane during training, if planned and done well, would probably mightily annoy all the staff there, which before you say it, would be the clear intention of any protest. I believe fans turning up to training grounds to tell the players what they think has been done elsewhere in Europe.
There may be other laws breached however. Not that I know what they may be.
I like this idea Seth. Strange though it may sound, I don't have too much of a problem with getting a caution etc for causing a disturbance but would hate to get a banning order from football stadia (especially Charlton). What actions would be likely to get a ban?
No one, including me anymore...I have stupidly been suggesting stuff..., no one ought to write in a public forum what the next level of protest ought to be. In the Art of War it says engage your enemies at a time and a place of your choosing, not their choosing. The fact that Fraeye and Miere snuck out of Colchester hidden in a laundry basket is an indicator that protest can work. Two matches in a row that Katrien has slithered away, bit of a far cry from cheerily travelling on the train with the fans.
ShootersHill mentioned a dirty protest. Does that mean having a shit in front of the west standard concourse and smearing the windows with it.....or did he mean another kind of dirty protest?
Didn't I read on here the other day that a fellow Lifer works on a farm? Could be interesting.

Just had an exchange with a friend of mine who works on a leading football website.
"I was actually at the Standard Liege game where the fans stormed the directors' box angry at your regime. The fans certainly weren't happy there! Massive protests through the game, which was eventually abandoned! They sacked Guy Luzon the days after the game. Wonder what happened to him?"

And it van be viewed from the public footpath which runs alongside, if it's at Sparrows Lane.
As a CustomerI haven't been to the Restaurant for 2 years, ever since my favourite French dish was removed from the Menu in Jan 14. If it wasn't obvious then to the well meaning fans it must be now. All the clues were there from the beginning. What club would sell their leading goalscorer and Talisman when they are in a relegation scrap. I deduced the owner hadn't a clue about English footy. The other thing we kept hearing was how interested Duchbag was in investing in the Academy. That got me thinking why would he want to pump money into the Training ground yet sell the leading goalscorer as soon as he could. Does he want us to become a Nursery club for other clubs I was thinking. Strange decisions from the start from our owner. Unfortunately all my worst fears have been realised. Shame it took others so long to realise. I can also assure you all this, and that is, the only way to get Duchbag out is by Boycotting and very aggressive protests.
I think everyone on the pitch at next home game, fuck the consequences, fines, were ruined, that is a shocking shocking performance and result, I salute anyone that attended tonight, you don't deserve that shit.
Is there fire alarm break glasses in the ground how about breaking a load of them 5 minutes before kick off get the ground evacuated, not breaking the law if you genuinely thought you saw a fire

The fire alarm has a "match day mode" and the sounders are isolated during the game. Staff would investigate the break glass that had been broken, see there is not a real fire and nobody in the stadium would be any the wiser.

I thought that there would probably be a match day mode, hence break a couple because most systems have double knock, if one is activated you have a certain amount of time to check it before it goes into evacuation mode incase of false alarm, if two or more are activated the systems realises that it's not a false alarm and goes straight into evacuation, this is how the London Underground system works
Apart from releasing anger verbally and a bigger protest than last time, I think the Blackburn game *has* to be disrupted, ideally multiple times (whistles, tennis balls, stuff on pitch) simply for the media aspect.

So, what chance of storming the box?!!
