[Official TC Thread] General Fan Action & Sack the Board Thread - TalkCeltic Signed letter

Looks like Braga will be a near sell out, only a couple of sections available.

 

Silent protests are * only people that it damages are the players

 

Guess you could just pull out your phone and scroll for a minute

 

Aye mate, what I don't get are we staying quiet from min 0-12, then 0-29 and then 0-32.. so for the whole time or just for a minute, at 12, 29 & 32?

Edit: aye I see it would need to be for the duration

 

It's a bit of a feeble sounding protest tbh.
In amongst some previously brilliant pressure brought by the combined fan groups this one is just a bit meh - was hoping for a mega protest at first home game.

Let's see tho, might be more effective than I imagine in amongst everything else.

 

I'd rather a massive protest before and after the 90mins tbh. Don't see the point of turning up to be silent.

 

I think the not too bad Euro result midweek and the huns implosion could be taking the edge off some of our fans anger. Im not sure if 12 mins of silence will bother the board's tory arses and I feel a more visual display and plenty of vocal abuse would probably be more effective

 

Surely turning up silent is probably exactly what the board wants in the first place

 

* idea.

 

Was always going to be the case, not everyone will agree..

We're kinda limited as to what action we actually do.. look at the boycott of Europa League packages, totally understandable and an absolute right for season ticket holders. But, will likely be sold out in any case, with the board selling individual tickets at a higher price than the package for season ticket holders. Making that protest ineffective as a collective, even if it gives the individual peace of mind.

This silent protest may 'hurt' the team a bit, but it will be effective and its important we support the action as its vital we stick together, to force change. If thd board was to start engagement and answer the questions set, they can avoid it.

Out strength is our unity.

 

Nah. Big noisy banners and chants is more effective than being little mice. Also its not clear. Is it just that minute? Then id join in. If its the full 12 mins etc? Probably not.

 

Totally agree mate, but the couple of home games that sack the board was being sung it didn’t really go round the whole stadium. * deserved pelters from everyone in the stadium, but way under half joined in.

 

Full 12 to start..

For me the silence will say more, like I say if the board answer the questions and it can stop. Then if they start engaging and communicating we can push for change without action that doesn't 'damage' the team.

But, feel free to sing if you please

 

This will be class, they'll be embarrassed and awkward.

 

As long as it accompanied by massive banners at each end and a protest outside the stadium. The board would probably enjoy the silence over a sack the board chant to be honest.

 

How will it be effective though?

People wont sit in absolute silence. There will just be quiet murmurings from people chatting, and cheers if a goal goes in. And then what? Will Desmond reflect that the business model needs changed and he needs to sack Peter Lawwell because fans were quiet for 12 minutes?

I dont get how those things are connected in any way.

 

Bit of a pathetic plan really….

Overthought and undereffective…

I find all these wee actions planned for a certain minute of a game quite tenuous in their significance and negligible in impact…. That goes for all clubs.. not just us.

It needs folk to just not go to the games.. not to buy the euro tickets.. and dodge the merchandise…

Nothing else will work.

And why isn’t the Auld Grey Tache ever a target for protest?

He is the real offender in the whole plc v club situation.

 

Exactly.. it will just feel like the average lull in the game… and opposition fans and Celtichappy clappers won’t be silent anyway.

 

The silence will be deafening.. it will draw a lot of attention.

Not much will affect DDs business model, but there's already murmurs Lawwell is ready to walk.

Like I say, any action will always be a debate the real issue is to stay united to affect change.
