If Hobbins can't see how the management team are going wrong we should make it obvious to him.

 

Either we do not attend the upcoming matches or fly flags or make posters that we stick up the ground saying "Faz out".

It's not just the management team that's the problem though is it? It seems there is n't the money to fire the management team despite us making perhaps £50k(?) from the FA Cup.

Apparantley our supporters were calling for the amigos to resign for most of the second half. The board should have recognised a month ago that the majority of the fans wanted Faz out and acted, rather than let the bad feeling around the club continue.

You need people to protest, and most wont be attending next Saturday. I will, only as I don't have to pay to get in, and I'll be booing loudly.
Act now Barrie. Not Monday, now.

As I suggested before a good protest is for the fans to simply turn their backs on the game, at an agreed time, for a minute.

And watch the ball sail over onto the road from another miss

 A miss would imply that we have actually had a shot......

Aside from the abandoned game at Dover how many clear chances have we actually created recently, especially at PVR.

The only one I can recall from the Grimsby game was gift wrapped by their keeper and we still missed it!

Perhaps taking a shot on goal was one of the instructions the players forgot to implement?

It's a tricky situation I know but by boycotting games as well as visual/audible protests during games (e.g chants towards board and management) we'd be cutting our nose to spite our face.

Boycotting games will just damage the club's budget and make the job for any new manager, assuming there is a change, even harder.

Likewise protests such as chanting and turning away from players during the game will only deflate the team. The protest should be aimed at the board and management, not the squad including individuals who've excelled themselves so far this season.

People only have to look at the situation at Charlton and Blackpool to see where boycotts, and protests including negative chanting will get you.

One suggestion I would make is maybe have WUSA produce scarves and/or other clothing of a certain colour that symbolises the protest movement, to wear at the game. Although scarves/clothing would be a protest against management and/or the board, supporters should still cheer on the players who are mostly doing the best they can in a difficult environment and situation.

The funds WUSA raise from the scarves/clothing could then go towards BTB for a new manager, supporters coaches, or whatever the WUSA membership decide. At least then something good can be made from a bad situation.

Like I said, it's just a suggestion.

I like the idea of scarfs or caps, and agree that we should not do anything to deflate the team further, but the voice of the fans must be heard and acknowledges, somehow.

Except that instead of a temporary boycott which may induce change, people may decide they just can't be bothered. Possibly a more lasting financial effect?

Try not to be too despondent, we may still get a striker and a few points. (And I know "pigs may fly")

How is a boycott pathetic? Why should people who have supported the club through thick and thin for years put up with this management team, players earning good money for nothing and more and more bizarre team selections and excuses each week.  What are they waiting for? Do the right thing today, please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Can't agree with you Odin. From what I read several of those planning not to attend are season ticket holders so have already paid there dues. I myself am holding pick n mix (or whatever they are called) tickets for which I have already paid. On top of that I don't buy food, merchandise, programmes or enter match day lotteries, I have even given up on trying to get a decent beer. So my absence, and I am sure there are others like me, will not make a halfpence of difference to the clubs financial plight? Somehow a message has to be recognised by the Board, and voting with feet appears the best way of posting, especially as currently, there is no pleasure gained by attending anyway.
