Sit in protest for Falmer at the Millenium

[Unigeeza]

Can we do what we did at Wycombe?

The Publicity would be unbelievable!!!!. National News maybe?

 

[Icy Gull]

That is one great idea

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I am up for it.

 

[wehatepalace]

me too

How are we going to tell 30,000 people - of which many of them aren't Brighton fans, and some probably do not know about the Falmer campaign - between now and Sunday that they are to sit in at the end?

The Argus would be a start, if everyone is up for it

 

[Biscuit]

Let the Argus now, then se if we can get leaflets printed and put in the club shop/handed out on the day by each enterance.

look we have got to try, the opportunity is too good to miss. Even if we get 1/4 people staying that is still 7500 people. I know Ian Hart reads this, he can do something on SCR.

Look, when are we ever going to be in this situation and have this opportunity again.

Together we stand divided we fall. Lets get as many people as possible. Get a Banner for the players, ball boys ect. Inform the club. Then...


GET THE MESSAGE OUT. Pass it round the crowd, the pubs ect when we are there, make sure the person sitting next to you knows. This will work, we have enough time

Good idea BUT

Most coaches / Limos / Submarines are hired on a time limit - I am not saying a 1/2 hour stit in would make much difference, but please be aware that some drivers may not be prepared to wait / hang around after the game (i am talking paid ones here)

 

[Marc]

come to think of it the Police/Stewwards and road Traffic wardens would LOVE it 'cos it means Bristol fans get out quick and by the time we leave they will be long gone! But if we loose it would look odd staying around waiting for them to finish celebrating!

 

[Braders]

but i imagine if we win ,we'll have to wait about 15 mins to get the trophy anyway

you know that if people are in , i'm in !

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I know someone who went to the FA Cup final and they were still trying to get out of Cardiff by gone 7 so a sit in might be quite a good idea.

 

[Henfield One]

I hate to be a party pooper, but .....

1. The Stadium is of course huge and we will be in lots of different sectioned off areas. By no means will the majority want to stay behind - which means pockets of fans around the ground. This then focusses the mind on the thousands that didn't stay behind -and the media might view it that there are thousands that don't care about Falmer.

2. Any sit in needs advance publicity - which means the Cardiff authorities will be on the alert. Not a problem in itself, but they (not knowing us friendly GSOH Albion fans) might take a more aggressive stance to stewarding/searching of bags/banners etc.
We certainly don't want that.

3. Stewards would have to stay behind to "look after" us - they'd be resentful after a long day. Plus there's another final the next day. I know it's only for 30 mins or less - but it's a pain for them.

4. Let's just focus on the pre-match + game itself in getting our message across. Believe me with the banners we have got lined up, the message will hit home.

Please please think again is what I'm saying.

Thanks

The banners will look great and will definatly get noticed. Not enough people will participate in a sit in guys.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

We'll stay behind anyway at the end.

The team will do a lap of honour.



They did one at Wembley in 1991. They'll do one on Sunday, surely?

 

[Gullet]

I reckon Falmer will get loads of mentions on Sky and in the papers that day anyway. As much as I would like a Falmer protest I dont think it would have the desired effect. I really dont think the authorities would allow it anyway.

 

[Yorkie]

I will have a train to catch.

 

[Marc]

thing is we need to make sure the banners are on the side opposite all the camera's so they have as much viewing as possible, pretty pointless if not, although still good in a way!

 

[oapdodge]

Get the banners to the players at the end of the game to carry round aswell.Then we can carry on singing "we want falmer" try and give one to the Bristol players aswell.

 

[Lammy]

This is a total non starter! Most people, like me, will be wanting to catch a train home. Staying behind is not an option. Especially as we will be late out due to the lap of honour etc...

Banners and chanting is the only way. The cameras won't show any of it anyway as it is political (bit like the masks at Swindon).
