Supporters Group News Ideas for further protests.

[Strykr]

Anyone sympathetic to the cause live in one of the higher up South Bank flats?

Could a message not be projected somehow onto the pitch from up there?

Def one i saw.

 

[Morty01]

Great idea.
Could do the text against his face on a Southend crest/Blue & Yellow Union flag background like Sex Pistols God Save the Queen logo.

5,000 fans doing a Mexico wave moon outside his house

And then one by one crap on his front lawn.

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

wanted for attempted murder " The Ron Martin Gang" along with co conspirators his wife,sons and daughters .. if he has any, with a big picture of him and smaller ones of his family ,now that if anything has to **** him off big time as well as his family, If they see there mug shots on it too surely they are going to get on his back big time .

They are all in this together and have lived a very comfortable SUFC funded lifestyle. The wife and son own and have allowed Roots Hall to fall into dereliction. The other son is a main player in Fossetts and Roots Hall development and has had a hand in negotiations of sale of SUFC. It's inconcievable to think they haven't sat down as a family and not talked about SUFC and how to manipulate the situation for their financial gain and once they did that it's called conspiracy.

Some great ideas on this thread, thanks people, i will pass them all on to the groups and i am sure some will be taken up. Whatever is done is all about maximum publicity.

Thanks.

The small stickers you see in train stations and abroad would be good, can get them in harder to reach places and they are more difficult to take down than a4 paper. Also easier to distribute at scale.

Locations can include the top of every staircase down from Fenchurch Street platform so Ron and family see it every time they head into London.

 

[HertfordshireBlue]

Fireworks outside his house in the early morning and on the 10th minute outside Roots Hall with the next big disruption

Good idea but I doubt Ron uses the C2C when he goes into town.

I’ve seen him on c2c.

You sometimes see large advertising hoardings, which I assume are rented, on fields adjacent to major roads eg on Southend bound A127 just before the city boundary. A127, A13, A130, A12 and M25?????

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

First up I’m going to acknowledge that mass protest needs the buy in of the masses and it’s clear from social media chats with people the last couple of days that there isn’t an appetite for the sort of extreme disruption that I’d like to see.

But I’ll share a few ideas I’ve had all the same:

Break into Roots Hall night before the next home game and burn ‘Martin Out’ into the pitch with weed killer or something similar (whatever kills grass basically).

Get someone in the South Upper to pour red paint (to symbolise the blood of the club he’s killing) all over the goal and goalmouth up that end.

Barricade the car park and players entrance to seriously delay kick off, maybe even force an abandonment.

Most of us are buying into the protest thing. A lot of us were not into the protests, but are now fully behind them after the way Ron is killing the club, and seems to be delaying or sabotaging a sale.
But we have to be sensible. The tennis ball thing was perfect. It made a point, got some great publicity, but doesn't get the club a fine, or the game abandoned. Some of your suggestions could get the game abandoned, invoking a massive fine. We don't need fines etc, or anything to give him excuses not to pay people and to blame us. Banners anywhere is a good thing, and placed where his sons can't tear them down.

 

[Dutch Branch]

We could always move our caravans on to his land until he caves in. Could you imagine his face opening the curtains to see 50 trailers in his garden Maybe Freddie could help us out.

 

[ShrimperNath]

For allot of people football doesn’t exist outside the premiership

Could we approach another supports trust on a televised game and ask them to hold posters or a banner, clap on a certain minute to show solidarity

Westham would probably be the most likely

Don't know about West Ham, but how about Wrexham? There's a lot of media attention there and they've been very supportive in the past

Wrexham probably have a much bigger global audience than West Ham.

 

[Fairport]

Some good ideas on here. I think for maximum publicity, visible banners, boards, signs, stickers etc on the A127, A13, C2C and Anglian trains would be best given the massive numbers of people that would see them. Most people use one of those transport routes each week.

 

[Richard Hearn]

Wrexham probably have a much bigger global audience than West Ham.

There may well be a number of teams' supporter associations who would help out with displays of support and solidarity at their grounds during matches. Wrexham probably, as well as York City and possibly Chesterfield.

Although, in the light of the recent visits to SZ of a certain "Gull", Torquay United might have to be scrubbed from any list.

Does the Southend carnival still run? One of those posters on wheels would be great!

Missed the bus (or float) for that one this year, I fear.
