No i'm making out that it would be a big sacrifice for people who have had season tickets for years, go every game.....and we are telling "You should do this, you shouldn't do that".....that for me usually invokes three words that i impart to you every now and again.
Noone's telling them to do anything, all we're saying is if they're not happy they should do something about it to make it better for themselves. If they want to sit there and say nothing that's up to them, not much point complaining about the situation afterwards though because it's not going to change essentially they would be encouraging it to continue.
It might be that the fans that go to matches are over the moon and very happy with what they're getting if so fine, it doesn't appear that way though, but if everyone took your stance and just suffered in silence then they'd have to keep putting up with it week in week out for however long the owners want them to.
It's a big sacrifice for them to make their feelings known by doing something different to precipitate change they want even though they aren't happy? So are you saying it's better for them that they put up and shut up and suffer in silence because there's no sacrifice involved? I would have thought they are sacrificing their enjoyment for a start (if they're not happy) which I would say is a big thing if going to watch a football match, in addition with the cost of tickets I would assume a few people are having to make sacrifices in their personal lives to afford to go in the 1st place.
The bravery on these forums, eh?![]()
Gab made a good point about arriving late every 10 minutes or just deciding for one game not to go. It's a suggestion of how things can be effective and something that needs to be considered if Wenger and the Board continue to ignore the fans.
You made it clear that the best way to protest is for people not to go to matches....(laughably holding yourself up as a model of the perfect arsenal fan)
And for people who have ritually gone for years, for whom it is a social occasion....to suddenly go from that to not going is a big sacrifice
As for active protest?.....with the best will in the world.....it's not for some people. Do you take to Parliament square with a placard everytime the government of the day does something you find to be a fundamental injustice.
NQ finds government in general a fundamental injustice......by that token he'd be camped out in protest all the time.

I am going for the NSFW approach, whilst i'm replying on the work computer i try and avoid obscenities too much because i've been pulled up before for e-mails and internet useage.
That said i did just joke about murdering sex workers which is surely a 100 times worse....
And to be fair i didn't watch the Marcotti clip, i am referring to when i have criticised fans for turning up late or leaving early. And although i think it's a pointless thing that's been going on for years....equally i'd have to concede that it's up to them.
