Same meeting place is my favourite. That first chant of WE WANT WENGER OUT as we moved off last night was brilliant and gave me goose bumps. The acoustics by the old East Stand ate brilliant
4.15 meet outside Marble Halls - move off at 4.30 - across Ken Friar bridge this time - director's entrance - 30 minutes or so of really intense noise. Also the noise as we go up the steps to Ken Friar bridge should be deafening.
Last night the police told the stewards on the south bridge to stand aside and let us pass.

I bought a ticket for the Leicester game,but obviously that was bumped for Lincoln.
However,I will take part in any protest organised for the re-scheduled game,and am also going to try for a TX Lincoln ticket so I can get involved in any marches etc organised for Saturday, so keep posting re start times/locations for protests.

Marble Halls from 4pm, leave 4:30, same route but over 1st bridge, down to bit oppo director's entrance, banners all up, songs in full force for 30-45 minutes.
Let's say we all need to agree by 8:30pm tonight to then get the message out?
To all those who organised and took part, Bravo!!!
I am not going to Lincoln but will be there for the next game and I'll get my old man involved too, enough is enough!! One important word now, momentum....
Lads - in honour of our Glorious Defeat last night we have to do something at Ten to Five on Saturday during the protest. Surely the symbolism and irony of "Ten to" is too good to miss.
Maybe a chant of
Ten Two but it's not your fault.
Or
Ten Two and he still won't leave.
with the lincoln protest, i agree on reflection we have to keep it up for every game, even though the media will be focussed on lincoln's part. personally i wouldnt march for this one, just go straight to the armoury/bear roundabout and work from there and much later before ko too so not allowing the protest to fizzle out, ideally we need to keep it up as close as possible to KO.
as mentioned youve got the whole issue getting searched by the stewards on the north bridge and the other factor could be so many lincoln fans around getting through them if you walk down the drayton park track side. I would bring the highbury march back for other games but not this one. having said that go with what you feel best ofcourse.
the megaphone idea is important for keeping the chants focused and together, if one can be produced
for banners, if someone is thinking of ideas, imo a good one would be that Gazidis quote about "Wengers accountability " ( i couldnt post it due to the weird tag thing, but i emailed J4G a copy ) although the file resolution may not be that high, if directly printed but certainly that quote being displayed by the TV on SSN would really have an impact and panic the club.
“Arsene is accountable to the fans – they ultimately make judgement. If you are seeing the relationship between the fans and the manager break down over time that is unsustainable”.
real shame i cant make it up a lot now, when i stood at the junction of Avenell Rd and Aubert Pk on the way down last night, i wished just for this period we still lived in our old Aubert park flat that we left at the end of 2013 (as much as i love living 5o yards from the sea nowadays), but i'll do what i can come up when i can. without boring you with details, i am involved in visual arts and im putting a big show together for brighon open house in May, so - apart from regular work commitments - a lot of my time is needed down here until then.
but if you need any flyers designing im happy to do them, as i have skill in that area, actually if the gazidis banner does appeal i could help design it for someone, and as i said i will keep on with social media
cheers guys, first step always the hardest but we did it, now lets drive it home.
Some very good suggestions for sharpening up the comms here. I would personally eliminate "You're killing our club" from the repertoire: danger of alientating potential sympathisers through hyperbole which we don't need to resort to especially while we have the old barnacle on the ropes.
I agree that the (in)famous Gazidis hostage to fortune from 2011 is a killer soundbite, though for banner purposes we need to condense it. If anyone wants to have a go, I would suggest (quote marks included):
"Arsene is accountable to the fans
Ivan Gazidis, 2011"

That should get right under his skin.
Ideas??
Love the second option.
Cheers Nick !!
What about if we bring loads of beach balls and start bashing them about at Ten to Five??
Will get huge media attention and symbolise how our players treat some matches like a kick about on a beach.

I put my Lincoln ticket up for sale at about 5pm mate so hopefully you will have some luck in getting one

Agreed.
This should get even more support now that Ornstein has just come on 5 live and said the board have told him there is a strong possibility Wenger could well be manager next season and they wont listen to 'other people' when making the decision.

Made the point that we're sick to death of the media and pundits highlighting Arsenal's faults but not attributing them to Wenger. Also said that we're so fed up because they get paid handsomely to watch Arsenal whilst we have to shell out fortunes to watch the same garbage year after year.
Presenter then did the Be Careful What You Wish For thing (what if you end up 7th when he goes?) to which I replied "We've just lost 10-2 to one of the teams that we left Highbury to compete with and last year it was 5-1 to Barca so how can anyone say that things are going great for us?
Had so much more to say but wasn't allowed time. At least we're getting our message across now and making everyone take notice.
Well done mate
They are mostly 2 faced, happy to say x years without a trophy, deride the club for only having top 4 ambition and slate (rightly so) the collapse that predictably happens year in year out but are too scared to point the finger straight at Wenker.
We have been placid and waited in vein for him to go, it aint happening unless we force it.
