So basically SOS are just saying take a load of banners and chant a bit? Dissapointed if i'm being honest. Won't get a better chance for higher action than this for a long time.

Sensible by SOS. Effective chanting (Like the BBC Justice one) will get far more attention and will be far more worthwhile than a few people shuffling off for a burger. And it will be less dangerous than fans fighting when other fans attempt to prevent them entry to the ground.

Exactly what I said in another thread.

 

The game will be on the tele, fans won't have to worry about it having a negative effect on the players on the pitch as it's a dead rubber, and it's an ideal time to stoke up the fires again.

The reasoning behind this was like what the above posters have mentioned. Only asked for Protests during the game at Leeds before and we are asking for people to do it now in what some seem as a meaningless game.

 

Too soon for another march, Boycott was voted against by our members at the last mass meeting and most tickets were bought prior to going out.

 

Not just wanting two banners at the front though and 300 people chanting stuff at the back. We want 50 banners if not loads more and thousands chanting stuff.

Organise a full on walk out at half time for as many as have the bottle.

How many games at this stage of the 'Champions' League have any real life left in them? Not too many I'd guess.

And potentiall cause safety issues at the ground? Don't forget the external turnstiles don't open until 75 minutes of the game have elapsed.

 

Yes they do. They open many of them at half time for them as likes a smoke. I don't know about other stands but in ours (the Kemlyn), they do anyway.

I'm not so sure it will be. Considering that both Barca and Inter will be playing on that night and both could still go out, that'll get top billing I suspect.

It's a Liverpool match, Liverpool fans will watch it as long as they can, and that is who counts. No point in protesting to the neutrals, how would that help?

If its only seen by Liverpool fans then its not going to work, as the whole point is to get as much publicity as possible, to try and put some pressure on the owners through bad publicity, also to try and make the banks a bit concerned about refinancing again next year.

 

To be honest I'm not sure a few banners and chanting is going to get the required publicity, think some form of walk out, non return after half time would have been more effective.

As was said above a boycott was voted against so not so sure a walkout would be supported either. You could only ever walk out when we were winning as well. Imagine the headlines if we walked out at 2-0 down at half time even if it was pre planned some media would still like to paint a picture how they want it.

I think thats a bit defeatist and still think a bit of chanting and flag waving isn't going to have the desired affect. I hope I am wrong but I think it has to be a bit more visible to get the necessary press coverage, if you have a pre-planned protest then hopefully a well prepared press release would have gone out.

Can see where you are coming from and are press release will have gone out, but look at the mach. There was at least 5000 there but some media said there was only a few hundred there. You have to look at what is feasible and what will get the most support. It is hard to get it perfect every time, but have to try and do something that will give you a fighting chance.

That beeping you hear on 75 minutes is all the doors being released.

 

If you go down earlier than 75 minutes then, although the odd door might be open, there won't be the stewards around to deal with any issues that might occur - the majority of stewards will still be in the ground looking after the crowd. It wouldn't be safe for a vast mob of people to leave en-masse before the gates are all opened.

 

Safety of supporters should be first priority. Always.

I heard of a lower league game being abandoned the other week, due to a fan protest - cant remember what game or what the fans did to get the game abandoned, but if people want to do something that'd get huge attention, this would work.

Chester City it was. Against Eastbourne. The numbers were in their 10's so would be hard to work at a top level game at those numbers.

 

Details of it here

sorry but holding up banners,etc aint gonna get the press nor attention this requires..

 

While i appreciate the efforts of those participating...i honestly dont see the point in holding a demonstration this way....It needs something unique something that will actualyl create broad interest not just across the country but world....

 

ie...the kop completely empty(my favoured demonstration) with one massive banner in the fans place

mass walkout after the kickoff

fans form a circle outside,around anfield during the game and chant
