A good piece from Tim Stillman.

Walkouts are a good for step. It's an action at least and one that draws attention.

I can't see the point in walkouts. It makes a statement I guess, and actually if has had an effect at Liverpool so even as I typed that sentence i realised there is a point :lol:
:getcoat:

But the point is they still have your money, if people stop buying tickets the club would have to act.

It spreads awareness, sparks more protests and I'm sure more action will be followed if the clubs ignore the walkout. It may even discourage potential fans from taking up vacated seats and protesting as well.

Arsenal are this morning selling The EMIRATES 5 MINUTE MATCH DAY EXPERIENCE. Apparently you get a free cardboard hat, a photocopied program and 5 minutes in the away end for £30.

I think one game would have a far bigger impact than 5 minutes at the start of the game. I'm not sure football fans would keep away week after week enmasse, which is the unique brand loyalty being exploited by the clubs. The problem with staying away however is 45,000 of the ground are signed up to season tickets.

The problem is of course, if people don't buy tickets, there's a queue of people behind them waiting to buy them anyway.

A walk out sends the biggest message.
Although 5 minutes at the start of the game isn't enough. Everyone's still at the bar then anyway.

Well yes, that is the problem and it's also the reason they don't need to reduce ticket prices.

Again, the ball has only just started rolling. It's a statement that's getting attention at least. Far better than a protest or March before the game or random banners around the stadium.
