I think it will be an embarrasingly low turnout but you know who is still tweeting and posting about it and hes still going ahead with it.
However I'd say the most likely conflict is fan on fan as even on social media the majority of the comments seem critical of choosing this game for a protest especially since riza going.
So if you see a gathering my advice would be to give it a wide berth.

Didnt you see the thread mozzer started?!Originally Posted by Hilts
I think organisers is an interesting word. Last time there were claims it wasnt you know who. Theres no such attempt this time and in fact i havent seen anyone else promote it apart from the central club guys.
The last protest took place before the Swansea game didnt it? If, so that didnt do any harm. Perhaps there should be a protest before every game.
The players have a sit down protest in every first half.
These are the fans that Riza branded clueless as they really are.
To be fair I have no issue with anyone wanting to protest against the current ownership.
I cant see how we progress under this ownership. But we need a buyer.
I have no idea on the actual plan so standing outside reception shouting Tan Out when he's not even there and having no actual idea on how they get Tan Out or what happens then ill give it a miss.
I won't be going but I can't knock when people organise and protest in the right way.
I get a lot don't particularly like some of the characters associated but I think we can all recognise to a certain degree that the club is rotten to the core. Riza going isn't really anything to do with it.
Well done for those who at least try and do something. All I do is have a whinge on here.
Fair points. They want to protest let them do it.
I wont be attending as I generally dont get to the ground much before 10 minutes before KO time
However I cant work out why fans who feel so strongly about the club that they have chosen to protest against the way its currently being run can all be branded as clueless??
A lot of the time its an ego trip and nothing else.
Misguided would be a better description in my opinion, and there's a few egocentrics at play. I watched a bit of the Youtube stuff on the protest, and some of the responses towards the club and Tan personally, were not pretty, in fact they were damn right insulting and a couple were border line Racist. But, lets try and give people the benefit of the doubt, At least they're exercising their democratic right to protest, they're making some noise, they're upsetting a few people at the club who deserve calling out, and when inside the ground they're fully supportive of the players on the pitch. People saying it won't achieve anything, people saying there's no buyer etc isn't really the point. The point is that these fans are demonstrating their dissatisfaction towards the club Hierachy. If every action had to have an outcome then we wouldn't do anything. They're not my kind of people, but i respect their right to protest.
I was fully behind the last protest but unable to go due to being in Australia.
I am for all protests but organising one on a whim on 3 days notice ahead of our biggest game of the season is just an amateur ego boost for a certain someone. Today isnt the day. Do it before every game next season or have a sit in after the game but today is massive and a half arsed effort with 72 hours notice is a waste of time and energy. The last one was planned weeks in advance
Not seen anything about this tbh. Will be interesting on numbers.
Hard to tell how successful the last one was as that route from the Napier to the CCS is always busy that time before the game.
It'll be interesting to see how many people just going to the club store, or just walking to the Family Stand are included in their 'numbers'.
Not against a protest, per se, but there's been little attempted engagement from inside certain circles to the wider audience, so until that happens, I can't see it having much influence.
They support and 'love' the club as most of us do, so I'm fine by that. Where I find protesting against Tan difficult is that he's just inept in terms of football knowhow, and has been determined throughout his ownership to follow his own path. If he'd squirrelled away millions or hadn't invested in the club fair enough, but his intentions have been good, just totally mis-directed..
Excellent post - well worded. This is exactly how I feel about it.
Very fair. My big issue is how bad the managerial appointments have been.
A lot is said how bad a club we would be to manage. I honestly believe every manager we have had has been backed significantly.
Warnock had all he wanted for his 3 summers.
How many players did morison sign?
Neil harris got kieffer Moore and harry wilson.
Going back to malky he was backed.
Ole signed countless players.
We reinvested a lot of the mcguiness money (although probably would be no worse off on the pitch if he did pocket it!)
Riza was allowed to spend millions on a striker and on and on and on........
No idea how much we have spent on players since tan came but I bet it's significant and more than a lot of clubs currently in a much better place than we are.
However the appointments have all been so bad next season will be a disaster also.
Think it's a case of careful what you wish for.
If Tan left completely we could end up with worse. What we need is a co-investor - someone to invest in the club, and to work alongside him, showing how to run the club more succesfully from.a team point of view, which could result in success for club on and off the pitch.
Just find this point of view fascinating. He has let the club deteriorate for the last 10 years? How can it possibly get much worse? (And for every Reading owner there is an equivalent doing great work elsewhere)
He has continued to put money into the club every month. We could end up with someone who just drains every penny out of the club.
On the pitch, yes it's a shit show, as he hasn't got a clue football-wise and he fails continuously to employ someone who has. Get rid of Tan and you get rid of his financial support to.
What financial support? He just pays for his own shortcomings
Hmmm...
The protests will have more of an impact than the FAB writing a letter and then immediately apologise for not running it by Steve Borley first
