So does the walkout.
Only if you walk out at the start.
So turn your back for all of three or four minutes then turn back around to watch the game - which is what we both know will happen.
Nope, a walkout is a much better idea.
Yup seeing an exodus would definitely have an affect
Thing is , with Spurs , weād probably score in the 23 min
Awww who Iām kidding , we wonāt
Walking out on 23 minutes last for the rest of the game.
Turn your backs: "Ooooh, Poznan!"
But it's just a game. Were I in Levy's shoes I'd just shrug my shoulders, because you know it'll blow over.
If you want to exert pressure, it has to be sustained, it has to gather momentum. Do it once and it's forgotten once the tabloids have finished writing about it, so probably less than a week.
But do it at every game, vary it from turning your back to walking out. Boycott the food, the drink, the merchandise. Lobby other fans, but you do it in such a way that you make them think for themselves. None of this "ENIC apologist" or "enemy within" bollocks, all that does is divide the fanbase when you're looking to unite them to a common cause.
You have to make sacrifices if you're serious about wanting the change, whether that be by boycotting the games and not selling your ticket, so the seat remains empty, to taking out large amounts of your own personal time to lobby, organise or just turn up if someone else puts that time and effort in.
The alternative is to be just another internet blowhard who demands change but can't be arsed to put in the hard yards to effect that change.

What Iāve seen quite effectively at a stadium before is a walk in. People stay in the concourse, TV shows an empty ground, and then at e.g. 10 mins thereās a big entrance to the stands, with the fans making lots of noise both for the team and against the ownership. Team gets type backing it needs. Very visible protest. Noisy criticism of owners throughout. Way more effective than a poorly followed quiet moaning exit.
See, this is the real issue.
I didn't label him as anything, that's what your bias is seeing in my post because you so adamantly want to jump in to defend against the "ENIC out mob!" and act like this is an "us against them" issue, hence the "you people" rhetoric.
I am no "people" I can acknowledge what ENIC have done right (infrastructure, making us a stable European club etc) but I can also acknowledge that they have no plan and have run into a brick wall and need to go for the sake of the club now (IMO.)
The football club is what I care about, not this petty fucking dick swinging contest about who is right or wrong.
All I said to the poster was what I believe other supporters mock us for. Other supporters never want ENIC or Levy to leave our club, what does that tell you?
Not gonna be many to walk in in the first place soon enough.
Didn't respond to my post in thr other thread for some reason, strange
Disagree. Everyone walking out for 1 / 2 minutes in an internationally broadcast game will have a massive impact on Levyās credibility in the game. And up tick media interest in whatās actually been going on here.
And boycotting all sales inside the stadium in addition would be good. But cannot see that happening either.
Very coordinated booing and signage could also cut through. But this cannot be about the āteamā itās about pressure on change or exit from the owners. So unfortunately the team, at the moment will have to be disrupted too.

Lol. Youāve still paid your money.
i am proud of the fact that for the last 3 years ive not spent a penny to Levy.
its not been as tough as you'd think.
im lucky my local has a dodgy stick to watch the football too. So not even my pints money goes to sky which goes to levy.
Love my local team. Nearly more than spurs. In fact itās probably equal.

That's not a "walk out"; that's a piss-break.
Seriously; for all the on-line anger; people aren't exactly prepared to throw down for real are they....?
Best post on the ownership situation, Iāve read.
During my (short) absence on this site, Iāve moved from neutral to ENIC out based on a number of additional data points. I think the wages / revenue figures really peeād me off.
Having said that, I wouldnāt give half of the posters on this site the satisfaction of doing anything that they were involved in to bring about change, not least because of all the personal stuff.
So, yup, Iāve no doubt that the family will be renewing their seasons again and Iāll be using them when I visit and buying plenty of food, drink and merchandise to bring home.
I think everyone involved should bring a whistle and a white hanky. From the first minute blow the whistle and wave your hanky.
Just cause absolute mayhem. Media, players everyone will wonder what the hell is going on.
The stewards canāt throw out everyone if you have 5-10k people plus doing this.
Be like the 90s. Maybe drop a pill while youāre all at it.
Whistle posse!!!

I'm doing a one man boycott. Unfortunately I have already bought a WHU ticket but that is definitely it for the season unless something changes quickly.
From 20 years of 20-25 games a season to 6 this one. Tragic
