Protesting outside the ground?

[can u sit down please 0]

Does it harm the team?

It didnt do southampton or Ipswich much harm did it?!

Lets back the boys on tuesday inside the ground but let the board feel the wrath on the outside.

What other teams would put up with this crap?!

Im always optimistic, but im down in the dumps and fed up now.

wrath of the barclay?

From my quote from a Burnley fan thread"

"Burnley are a far smaller club right now than Norwich yet our fans

simply would not put up with the same crap you have been doing..... it

seems the Norwich way is to whine and whine but in the end just lie

down and take it.""We are currently sitting watching our team be destroyed and all we do is whinge

Spot on Thain. Im prepared to join those who are prepared to vent there anger OUTSIDE the ground on tuesday.

Yes im a fan, no im not going to stay away and im gonna give the boys all the support i can inside the ground.

I think it''s time for protesting tbh. It can''t harm the team, they''re already playing at rock bottom.What have we got to lose?No other supporters would have put up with so much crap for so long.

any protest will result in the usual "in fighting", i am afraid. There are still to many "keep the faithers" who think that Delia and her muppets can do no wrong and if were not for her there would be no norwich city football club. Start an anti Delia chant in E block on tuesday night and see what i mean. Pitiful.

Exactly, it''s like trying to swim against a strong current, it''s bloody hard work trying to get fans to boycott matches let alone protest.

Ahhhhhhhhhh right, so you don''t go to matches, but are quite content to let others arrange a protest, all making sense now lol.

Seriously I was one of the many involved with the Chase protests, it''s not as easy as it seems to try and get supporters to protest.

[Andy Larkin 15]

Might as well now, as it seems nothing else is going to work…Some of the reason we put up with it is due to the nature of some of the folk that attend (some of the opponents to probing questions on Thursday night were testament to that)… Norfolk people aren''t really that rebellious are they (well not since Robert Kett… and the Chase Out days)?To be honest, I couldn''t really give a flying frig if there is no-one to step into the void anymore, because to put it simply, can it really be any worse than what is happening at the moment?Time to be honest and accept that where we are today is the inevitable culmination of the last 3 or 4 years, and it appears to me that our ''leaders'' have no idea how to arrest the slide. Thursday evening was a real eye-opener for me… there quite simply is no longer term vision than staying up… after that, I think they have absolutely no idea!The other reason that there is no real protest is the lack of organisation. When the Chase Out protests started, there was a team of people that got together and made it happen. Unless it is properly organised, it can quickly become fractured and split and then it loses its natural energy… namely numbers / force of will.So, sadly… unless someone is prepared to do what Roy Blower and the likes did against Fat Bob, then it will remain under-powered and not taken seriously enough.And finally, it will need people to be prepared to get nicked for the cause… because if you really wish to change things through protest, then they need to be long and persistent… and that attracts Old Bill.Hope that helps?

[/quote]I would attend a protest in a heartbeat, don''t get me wrong. But I simply cannot afford £25 a week to go and get depressed for 2 hours. I spend that money more wisely on food and bills.

To be honest protests will happen naturally.  People find breaking points at different time.

I am more than happy to protest after the game.

spot on mate..... there is lots of arguing between fans at the moment and it will be the same for the rest of the season..... there is a big divide between pro board and anti board...

[seat124 0]

no he did not. He protested and thought that he encouraged people not to go to games and then proceeded to watch the game "live" in scores as i believe it was called then. He was NOT instrumental in getting rid of chase no matter what he and his hangers on may like to think.

[/quote]I don''t think a protest needs to be planned. If there''s going to be a protest, it''ll probably happen spontaneously when things get really bad - and I''m sure that could well happen on Tuesday night. 2 or 3 nil down with five minutes to go should be enough to light the blue touch paper on Tuesday night.

[quote user="kiwiNCFC"]What did roy blower do out of interest?[/quote]I wasn''t at the earliest organisational stage… I simply got involved in organising petitions for him outside every turnstile (I know, it seems quaint now doesn''t it) which led to a couple of sly punches to the back of my head (when I was facing the other direction) and some gobbing in my face too (an old woman none the less… really rather vile!)… but gradually it took on a momentum of its own.Roy was very successful in using the press to spread the word and also he managed to organise a couple of big meetings at St Andrew''s Hall, which were fantastically well attended.

It was quite something I tell you, not in a nice way as there were fan against fan.  I was spat at and punched by Chase supporters for protesting to get him gone.

Let me say that the Chase out days were depressing, but nothing like what we are going through righ nowThis club, My club has been in Constant decline under the leadership of this board, many times I have said 12 YEARS they have been here, with TEN years of struggle, no ambition, no interest in the football side, only the CAFE business, this board have yet again picked another scapegoat, they should be made aware of the fact that it''s there fault no one elses, I f we protest before, during, or after, I will be there.

Indeed, i''m not afraid of the abuse, been there, done that.

Feelings need to reach fever pitch, that is the right time IMHO.

Agreed, and it''s about time we fans took back our club.

[NCFC_Thain 0]

Lose agaisnt Cardiff and it should reach fever pitch. If fans can keep supporting the board after that they truly are deluded.

The day we get relegated (if at home) will bring about a spontaneous reaction.

[alex_ncfc 662]

Oooo we can''t protest, in or outside of the ground, we can''t hurt the poor players'' feelings can we?

People who still believe this and stick up for the board, bloody idiots the lot of you.
