Thanks John, I was so angry when I when I was told not to look out of the window. Actually a couple of people in the lounge did say they agreed with me, perhaps I Will get a ban though
See the heavy mob will deal with this, quite happy not to draw blinds on the usual club freeloaders/arselickers looking out of other windows having a laugh and taking pictures of protesters.
Just got home and I'm still furious at being told not to look out of the window of the Keith Peacock Suite. Thanks to all of you have posted messages of support.
It all started when I put on a mask and looked out of the window at the protesters below. I waved to some people I know and a few of the protesters saw me and waved back. Naturally I waved back to them and I noticed that some of the stewards in the ring of steel looking up at me.
Very soon after, several stewards came into the lounge and started to pull down the blinds. I told them I didn't want the blind next to me to be pulled down, but they insisted. They said that the match day officer had requested the blinds be pulled down, so I asked them to bring him to the lounge. He did come in and asked me not to look out of the window. I pointed out that we pay an awful lot of money to use that lounge and I wasn't happy to be told not to look out of the window. Anyway I did comply but told them I would go to the press as they would look pretty silly in asking a 'customer' not to look out of the window.

Great stuff @ME14addick. Saw you at the window in your mask and waved back! (I was the one that looked like Pinocchio!)
More inept behaviour from the club. The blind leading the blinds in this case!
I find it astounding that they are so inept at dealing with these things. They are really really bad at it. At every turn they get their response wrong. It's part Pinocchio part Mickey Mouse.
My husband has said that they will probably move our table away from the window in future. If that does happen, I will be even more furious as I specifically asked to be seated by the window at the start of the season. We take my 88 year old dad with us and it is a nice place for him to sit in his wheelchair and means he can't be bumped into when the suite is crowded.
I haven't been able to take part in the post match protests as I have to look after Dad, but if my little contribution today has helped, then I am glad.
Some in the lounges still think there is no alternative to the current regime, but more and more are starting to believe that we are going nowhere but down with this lot in charge.
Even the stewards who came in to pull down the blinds said they sympathised but were under orders.
We have used the club's hospitality for many years because Dad enjoys it so much, but we have noticed a lot of changes for the worse since RD bought the club. I feel sorry for a lot of the staff as they are very good, but many will lose their jobs when we go down.
It is beginning to seem that they want us out just as much as we want them out. Is this the grand Masterplan? IS THERE ANY PLAN ANYWHERE WITH THIS LOT?
I do try, but I think those not on social media and forums like this, don't realise what is going on and don't believe there is an alternative. I keep hearing 'where would the club be now if RD hadn't come along'

Ditto, ME14.
We really need to educate those fans ASAP or at least show them the evidence in black & white.
If they're not on social media, the programme won't tell them the facts for sure so we have to address the problem by some alternative means.
Today's edition of CAS Trust News is an excellent vehicle for this, if the ill informed fans care to read it...

Agree ME14 -the bloke who sits next to me is anti the protests and said he was impressed by what RD said in the programme (whatever that was). I talked to him about RM and his political part and he had no idea. How do we reach these fans?

Indeed, Arsenetatters.
Maybe us " girls" could come up with a cunning plan ?

Sounds good to me! And an excellent excuse for a small, medicinal, wine or two......

ME14 Addicks.
Even after they put your blind down,
You carried on for a while.
I mean Jiminy Cricket, who does KM think she is.
Well done.

Wish the club would bring in a "Don't look at the pitch policy" during games.
I wonder how many will decide to renew their packages next season ?
Yet another nail in their coffin...

I was about to say something today but my husband ushered me away before I could say anything!
She usually has a few minders with her
Please keep telling others that there are alternatives. RD said this very week, that he has regular offers to buy the club.
