The only effective protest method is to stop buying Arsenal related merchandising or stop going to games. I've only been to a couple myself - I want to go to more, I love the buzz of going to a game, but I'm pretty disgusted with the thought of contributing to the coffers of a Club who's ownership will pocket the money. I thought about going tomorrow, but decided to make do with a few pre match drinks.

FY, you've been going to games for five minutes and you have a limited understanding of the experience of a large section of match goers and every post you make exposes this limited understanding further. Some of your statements in this thread are both ignorant and insulting to people who regularly get behind the team.

Many people paying to go to matches are making big financial sacrifices and while they share your frustration, they in the main get behind the team. And that is what fans attending should continue to do for as long as this team are in with the prospect of playing for something, whether it is the CL, FA Cup or CL Qualification.
I dont need to go to 100 games to know that Arsenal fans are not vocal for the most part. Emirates sounded just like how it sounded on tv- quite! My question or concern is really simple- would you or letters or ldg (ppl I know who go to games) make an effort to take a banner saying "where is my club going? Arsene, phw, stan... Someone give me an answer!" This does not mean not supporting the team... Support anyone in an arsenal shirt giving 100%. The players need the support no matter how talentless they are...
