They've still got our money, why would they care about a few banners?
Big, co-ordinated, sustained protest may have more effect but, in practise, that isn't going to happen.


What is childish is insults/abuse aimed at Wenger. It makes the people doing it look like toddlers throwing their toys out of the pram and detracts from their opinions which may well be sensible ones but expressed in such a childish way don't encourage engaging with.
Well protests arent effective.. as we have seen from what happened to Utd fans protesting or Leeds fans protesting. What it does at least is bring attention to the growing discontent among fans. Even the 'silly bin liner' protest got a good deal of media attention. Like a wise man said, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. At least give it a freaking try. Take a group of friends, like minded people and there will be plenty among Arsenal fans who takes a banner or just stands outside the stadium before a game with a banner asking "We pay the highest tickets in world football yet our standards keep falling.. we need answers!"

You might be a bunch 10-15 ppl doing it but do it! Give it a start! May be you will fail but harping on a message board is not going to help. Thats why I say that majority of arsenal fans are just not passionate enough. May be the ones whose voice will make a difference come from middle to upper class background and for them, protesting is not a cool thing to do or it doesnt matter. God, I wish I lived in London...
