Well done!
I think we all know of a team that would include that in their Honours Board...

Whatever the actual number the club will know as every turnstile entry is logged. Watching on TV it looked like the only well populated section was the lower clockend where the club muat have sold seats normally allocated to away fans. The Sunderland section was understanably smaller than normal.Bradywasking wrote:John Cross seems to think the attendance was 50,000 plus but photos were taken at misleading angles to exaggerate the empty seats ..You couldn't make it up could you ?
The club will know that a large chunk of STHs didnt show. I managed to sell mine onto a friend and I am sure most STHs have a network of mates through which unwanted games can be sold. But even with that, somewhere between 5k and 20k didnt show. It has clicked with Arsenal fans that CL qualification is meaningless given our record in that competition. Arseblog made a good point that if we were fighting for the title rather than 4th that Tuesday night game would have been packed and rocking.

Re: Wenger Out protest - Sunday 21st May
Ok guys, let's get this item ON the agenda. Those of us who want him gone, here's the challenge. Instead of focusing on what won't work, let's think of what might. You see it's good to be realistic but some of the negativity about ideas and suggestions put forward does us no favours and just means people aren't thinking creatively as we were a few weeks ago.
In our minds we tend to build the AKBs up into a mighty army of 61,000 people all clamouring to lavish praise on their hero. In truth they are now surprisingly few, and our real enemy is apathy and 'can't-be-arsed'-ness. We build the press up into the fifth column, there to defend him and deflect criticism of the man and his methods. In truth there are a small number who kowtow to him for fear of having their privileges withdrawn, but increasingly they are prepared to put his shortcomings under the spotlight.
My starter for 10. There is no way a direct anti-Wenger chant will take off in the stadium, but surely there are still enough non-tourists who would at least be able to get "There's Only One Tony Adams" ringing around the bowl. That would make him squirm and would surely be picked up effectively by the media.

Bump
The WengerOUT, NoNewContract protests are an online gooner led innitiative and have been heavily promoted by the gooner magazine, the online gooner, the gooner forum and the gooner twitter.
As the season is not over and there are still a couple of games to go and Wengers contract issue has not been settled Id ask why has this thread been removed as a sticky? Why not just change the thread title to "Wenger Out protests" if the date has lapsed. Mods have been changing the date as each one passed.
Maybe there are more protests in the planning stage and havent been ready to promote just yet?
Or maybe it suits to have it drop away and forgotten?

Wenger Out protest - Sunday 21st May
Make sure the old tosser, the wig wearing prick and all of Gazidis's marketing luvvies get to see what its all about.........I beg every fucking Gooner out there to turn their back on this shitfest. Banners, marches, aeroplanes......yes. Turning up to line the pockets of these c.unts.....no
Let John Cross and Paddy Barclay try to spin 20000 people in the stadium......but of course it won't happen

Re: Wenger Out protest thread
as there doesn't appear to be any advertised protest for tomorrow I've removed the date from the thread title.
Re: Wenger Out protest thread
Despite the attempts to deflect the #WengerOut message we go one last time in the Emirates.

Re: Wenger Out protest thread
If you ask me (and I'm sure many Arsenal fans) about the best/proudest moment all season - without a shadow of a doubt watching those dying minutes at West Brom whilst the banners flew loud and proud throughout the away end, closely followed by the fans telling the players in no uncertain terms At Palace that "you're not fit to wear the shirt". Times like that make me Think that there might just be a football club left under all this.NickF wrote:Despite the attempts to deflect the #WengerOut message we go one last time in the Emirates.

Re: Wenger Out protest thread
Also whilst the level of protests may not match the disliuionsment generally, they are probably the biggest and most wide-scale since Steve Kean at Blackburn.
Let that sink in.
