I've got a remote control jobby, but once it's up in the air you can't tell the difference, and I'd do it for free, not sure about the banner, how big would you want it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I mean, not only would targeting the elephants lead to negative headlines about our supporters disrespecting Thai culture... But also, we don't know how much the things weigh and I've just got visions of a bunch of middle aged Wednesday supporters putting their backs out trying to shift two ornamental elephants.

If anyone really wanted to do an elephant protest, you could buy one likes this and throw it on the pitch when we go back to games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys_12th_Pint Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Always quite enjoyed the tennis ball protest for when we are back in the ground. Was it Cov or Charlton that did that one, or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pulis Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Unfortunately, it will be impossible to get enough people on board with a protest, especially in Covid-19 times. I'm sure a few people may decide to go to the game on Wednesday and vent some frustrations, but unless there is signifant amount of people (at least 700) a) it won't impact anything and b) it will be very easily shut down by police. Personally, I think I socially distanced face-masked protest could be beneficial in forcing change, but how you get enough people on board when people aren't going to the match anyway, I'm not sure.

GMOwl72 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Re Elephants .

We can't (or shouldn't) have crowds of protesters. Anything we do needs to capture the attention of the media and DC. So:- KIDNAP THE ELEPHANTS! Demand the departure of D.C. and Paxo in a publicized "Ransom note" sent to D.C. through the media. The popular press love anything like this. Get the local TV, Look North and Calendar involved and , through them national TV. If possible make sure the Media in Thailand are aware, maybe embarrassing Chansiri in his own country may make him realise the depth of feeling against him by our fans.
