    The more I read this board I would join a protest against the fans. Weakened teams in the cup, scared of their own shadow regarding Europe. I despair.

    The Maastricht Treaty is a hot topic amongst fans at half time.

    No. No idea of their aims etc. Not on Facebook. You'd think they'd put something on here as im sure its the largest fans forum.

    The march organisers are being very cryptic over on the dark side. Major development!! And then not saying what. Huge turnout expected, great response in numbers! And then failing to give actual numbers.

    I support the protest but currently it seems a small group of fans are trying to dictate the narrative.

    Firstly , everyone is perfectly entitled to express their dissatisfaction with the club, its owner and senior management by way of a protest march if they feel they are not getting satisfactory answers from them.

    However, what I find strange is why the protest organisers turned down an invitation to a meeting where they could put all their complaints and points of view direct to the club in a face to face meeting. That would enable them to make sure they clearly got their views across and then report back the responses (and whether they agreed with them or not) to people ahead of the protest march.

    I'm not going to say too much about the people organising this protest, or their motives for it. But let's take it on face value for the sake of debate.... Sometimes it's not worth talking to an institution that repeatedly gets things wrong, constantly makes the same mistakes, acts in an inept fashion. If this protest upsets a few at the club or even causes the embarrassment, then that's enough for me. The club do what they like whether we like it or not, they can have some back then.

    Not really. Most fans (football, not exclusively City) are incapable of putting a coherent argument to their respective clubs.

    The best vote is with your feet.

    Re: Protest

    It's been badly advertised on this board. Would it hurt them to post some details like aims, reasoning and logistics

    It seems like many of the protesters are still holding onto resentment from the days when the club's shirts were changed to red. Some of them walked away back then, and have now returned, but continue to hold a grudge and criticise at every opportunity.

    There’s no denying that Tan has made some daft decisions, by not appointing an experienced manager or bringing anyone with solid football expertise onto the board. This has led to repeated mistakes.

    I can't see what this protest will achieve other than frustrating Tan and potentially pushing him to react negatively, perhaps even selling the club to someone worse, someone who might not be willing to subsidise us moving forward.

    Can there be much worse? For what he’s spent the club have done shockingly bad as Eric’s stats the other day proved.

    I've no idea what the average age is. I reckon I'm a few years younger than one of the 2 on the podcast mind.😂

    I don't see the point.
    Tan won't be there, will it even get reprted to him?

    Steady now, I’m way off 70….. well until a week tomorrow. But you’re quite correct about it being a struggle to do the walk, I’m off to Tenerife on Saturday, so missing the match altogether

    Re: Protest

    The benefits to the organisers of a protest walk to the ground before a game, is that many people will be walking to the game anyway. It'll give the impression that more people are taking part than actually are.
    As others have said aswell, it would be good to know what their aims are. Do they want a D of F with Tan staying? Do they want Tan out or in?

    The most curious thing about the protest is the timing i.e. it's when when new signings are usually negotiated behind the scenes.
