I agree.....I came up with this idea in the shower this morning see what you think.

Geoffrey King is to be made to strip down to his underpants at the top of Pier Hill. He then must stuff streaky bacon, cumberland sausages and maybe the odd steak down his pants.

Very much like the open top bus promotion parades of the past the fans could line the streets. I would expect a police corden may be nessecery.

At a pre-agreed time (Say 6pm) after the final home game of the season Geoff King has to run bare foot down Pier Hill and along the seafront. Exactly two mins (Gladiator style) after Geoff King starts running a pack of 431 dogs (A dog to represent each angry post on Shrimperzone) of varing sizes and breeds also start running. These dogs would not have been fed the night before so would be ravenous. Dogs of season ticket holders in the West would of course be given priorty.

If Geoff King can get to a pre-dined point before the dogs then fair call. If he cannot then the dogs smelling the meaty snacks in King's briefs take revenge on our behalf leaving King in no uncertain terms about our upset over the poor stewarding arangements.

Thoughts please?

Sounds like a reasonable idea to me! Perhaps we should make this an annual event. In future years we could substitute GK for the worst performing player of that given season.

I may be wide of the mark here, but aren't your merchandising outlets on a contract basis?

If so, you're not really hurting the club by doing that. I'd wager that the catering on a matchday is also contracted out too.

The only way to affect the club is through attendances, surely? :unsure:

I like the thinking Grays Blue Junior but I think we need to flip this on its head a bit.

Instead of none of us buying food from the tea bar why dont we all buy loads from them. However (And this is the clever bit) regardless of what item we buy (Hot Dog, Pie, Twix or even a cuppa) we ask for extra Onions......

The increased costs of having to shell out for the additonal Onions (Plus all the additional tissues for our crying staff) will really hit Ron and co in the pocket.

As an additional way of getting back at the club I am going to boycott all reserve, youth team and under 9-16s games between now and the rest of my life. Put that in your ****ing pipe and smoke it Geoff King !!!!!!!

I've been boycotting these games for the last 22 years. I was going to lift my boycott next season, but am so outraged it is back on again

West stand could start singing 'STAND UP IF YOU WANT KING OUT' good to see how many people want him to go and hopefully he will get the message!!!

Boycotting the merchandise is no good to me, I don't buy any! I buy a couple of beers at half time but I guess that the club will get a share through their catering partners.

I think that for a club that values the power of positive PR, they've shot themselves in the foot here. RM, I think, was building up some considerable goodwill and will be seeing that crumble around him.

I do not agree with King's comments, but I will be renewing my ticket and I will be having a beer at half time.

Fatshrimp out!
