Topic: How about a whistle protest for the Arsenal game?.....

[jjasonuk]

Imagine twenty thousand blowing whistles all through the game, live on sky ruining the comentary? Those vevuzlas (sp?) are difficult to get into the stadium a whislte in your pocket, down your pants, in your sock not so easy to stop?

Then telling the yanks and Sky its going to happen at every home and away game we are on TV?

 

[aedge659]

I don't think us whistling at them would make them fuck off though mate, as annoying as im sure it would be!?

[Obviously]

Vuvuzela?

Haha, the player's would never hear the ref's whistle it'd be hilarious.

[Helsinki Red]

Vuvuzela?

Never at Anfield. Never.

[Randy Marsh]

Its not a remotely bad idea this

[cac9280]

Yes but not really a boycott..we could still have paid for the match tickets!

[Stompy]

I think it's quite a brilliant idea

[wiresnreds]

Id love to see some of them stewards having panics trying to get 1000's of whistles off supporters...

[firing squad]

Never at Anfield. Never.

agreed,anything but the fucking vuvuzela.

[Mikuss]

I like the sound of this, i'll supply the ear plugs

[redmark]

Along with banners, other visual protests and leafleting other fans, this has the makings of a good idea IMO.

[12Kings]

How about we barricade the roads up to the stadium, stopping all from entering? I guess that would be too radical though. Whistle blowing it is then.

I'll hide mine up my arse.

[jason67]

for me it's a good idea, anything to get  attention to our plight.

[davenorthwales]

doesn't this go against the spirit of sportmanship?  nice idea tho... could end up with the ref abandoning the game with the confusion and we'd be in the krap.. grrr can't win can we?

a big huge 100 metre long banner stretching all the way from one end of the centenary to the other be cool. unless the centenary can be pursueded to sing along for 90mins with the kop non stop so the cameras can hear chanting protests. and the paddock and the main stand.

if anyone brings a vevuzula to anfield, im off

[Soap]

People being off, is exactly what we fucking need lad.

[Em5y]

Ahem...

Surely doesn't have to be something people wear to get attention - maybe making noise would make us harder to avoid.

How about everyone takes a whistle?  Annoying as fuck - impossible to ignore - cheap to buy (most people may have one already at home).

40,000 whistles would make a racket - market it as 'Blow Full Time on the Owners'?

[davenorthwales]

People being off, is exactly what we fucking need lad.

and they had the cheek of banning aerosol horns. those vevuzulas drive people menkal. rather an aerosol now and then instead of those in your ear for 90 mins 

[kopside]

We might have new owners by then you never know...

[James Mac]

Don't mind this at all. Although we have a paradox: if people are boycotting, how are we going to whistle? Unless we whistle from outside the ground 

[jjasonuk]

It could be our rallying call, thousands of whistles at kick off, even if its just for a minute against arsenal or just before half time or whatever, it would grab headlines all over the world, much easier that the vavulas (or whatever they are), almost impossible to stop them getting in the ground and would upset sky no end.............................. We could get it going at the July 4th rally, thousands would catch on with the idea, could make the news even before the first game, and we can do it at away games, we could spread it to the USA and tie in with their teams over there, maybe (not to cause too much FA trouble) one minute after kick off each half and one minute before the nd of each half??

Right now we want to bring attention to ourselves and the plight our club is in... if they stop the match SO WHAT!!!! One game, three points, or our club going down the drain? You do the math!

July the fourth, our whistling independance day, NEW OWNERS OR DISRUPTION AT EVERY SKY GAME!!!!!

SKY could hit them in the pocket for us!

[Terry De Niro]

How about we sing this non stop?

No fucking chance..

"England's most successful football club is slowly being drained by the greed of two American asset strippers and this is having a negative impact on regeneration projects for the whole area."

[Saint Kopite™]

But, how would it affect the Yanks?

We need to do something which would piss the Yanks off.

[Something Else]

i think this is a brilliant idea

BIG TIME..I drove past that area today and thought exactly the same thing..

How does wearing a Norwich scarf piss off the Glazers?  It doesn't.


It makes our frustrations impossible to ignore though - which is what Sky and the majority of the media have done so far.

[harleydanger]

Briiliant idea, combined with banners like "Whistle while they're thieving" etc, all game.

Ok. In terms getting the media attention, this will be a very good idea.

[Immoral King Brian Blessed]

It's a great idea. Remember the justice chants in the FA Cup a couple of years ago, also against Arsenal? Even Thierry Henry was moved to mention it, it was so effective. It could not be ignored. Even the commentators had to acknowledge it.

The only issue I see is getting enough whistles in the ground, getting the word out to bring them. And people who do know being arsed to bring them, as obviously apathy is a big issue, and people would actually have to go out their way to get a whistle (I know, it's no big thing, but some people...)

Grabbing onto to Terry's excellent idea, but simpler, perhaps a chant, that can be started by a core and grow is the way to go? Something that cannot be ignored, cannot be misinterpreted?

To the same tune as 'Justice for the ninety six', something like "yanks out, reclaim our club' (I'm no wordsmith, obviously) for the first 15 minutes of every game...do it at home, it will catch on there and away.

Or maybe I'm chatting bollocks.

10,000 for $600 USD. Shipping obv wrong on website. Give them away out the front with a flyer explaing the protest and bob is your uncle.

[PaLee]

This. how long can you keep whistling though? The entire game?

[tomred]

I think this has legs.

[Red eh]

just sing songs damnit don't ruin the game you nonces

[jjasonuk]

just sing songs damnit don't ruin the game you nonces

mate it's not about ruining the game, it's about raising awareness getting some news coverage, getting the word out, doesn't have to be all game just at the start and end of each half would do that coupled with somthing like the "blowing full time on corrupt owners" banners.

[trigger]

we could all buy one of these and set them off all the way through the game



Imagine 40,000 eggy rippers going for 90 mins

[jooneyisdagod]

Thousands of whistles outside the stadium is a better idea.  I know its easy for me to sit a few thousand miles away and call for a boycott but I do think that will turn heads as long as people know its a boycott and maybe, just maybe the last straw in getting RBS to call in their loans and forcing the Yanks to fuck off.  I understand that to many people a ST is like a family heirloom but a lot of people seem willing to make such a massive sacrifice and I think it is necessary for people like me to convey my full support to them.

That's a better idea than the whistle one.

Think the chant (if done) should be different though. Personally feel that chant is for the 96 that were sadly lost.

Would prefer the whole ground to be singing "Get out of our Club. Get out of our Club. You greedy Yank bastards. Get out of our club" or words to that effect for 45 solid minutes.
