I hardly go now. When I started going, I brought everything, season ticket, shirts, programmes, a few pints, etc. First they put the beer price up, so I stopped drinking in the arena. Then, I realised how poor the team were compared to the income, so I stopped buying the merch. Then I spotted the trend of the wheels coming off around Christmas and the club not caring, so I cancelled the season ticket. I went to every chl game, in part, to see fresh opposition and it was great. As soon as the club take there foot off the gas, I stop going. The panthers miss management has cost them around £500 a season from me. That’s really my protest. Although, I’m always up for a chant of “black out!” With respect, I don’t think Black will notice your cash is missing! Glad you’re up for a protest. Would you be prepared to come to a game, meet up with other prospective protesters and organise something?

Just a mischievous thought! When the announcer mentions the pre-match black-out ..... “BLACK OUT!, BLACK OUT! ...”

Laughable. 20 people on a forum with a chant vs 7000 other people. Not as laughable as 5 people recording a random podcast on TCW,standing outside a pub in the rain ranting and raving about the latest Panthers shambles. That’s going to achieve a lot isn’t it ! 🙄

Laughable. 20 people on a forum with a chant vs 7000 other people. In fairness though BigLad most of those 7000 are just sat in silence, until a goal or the end. I don't think you need organised groups, just personal bravery and a big gob. I lack both. Start, and maintain, a "Black/Moran/Neilson Out" chant and hope to find others around you joining in.

Another useful post! Actually my point is that 7000 people in the arena will have no clue what 20 people on this forum have to say. A minute minority on here isn't going to change anything.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? Do this 7000 not speak English, or are they all deaf? Won’t they HEAR what the chanters are chanting and perhaps , just perhaps join in. Perhaps you could elaborate and tell us how to effect change?

Most will not know what GM is like, a lot probably have no clue who Neil Black is or what he looks like. By all means, start a chant but when the majority of the area are just fans who go 'ah well, better luck next time' at the end of the game (No disrespect to them) I can't see it being picked up very well. Posters/Banners will get removed and those responsible will be banned.

Think you might find there are a lot more than a few who are disgruntled with Panthers. I must know at least 100 individual fans myself and I'm struggling to think of one who is not totally naffed off by the current regime and state of affairs.

Absolutely regarding flyers & banners; they’d never get inside the arena and if they did, the luminous wearing SS will remove said items immediately & likely individuals too. The likely outcome of any protest is that Panthers HQ won’t give a stuff & you’ll end up being banned, like Rob.

There aren't 7000 in the arena every game for a start. And of the usual 5500 at least half of those are season ticket holders and a good chunk of the rest probably pretty regular fans. It would seem reasonable to assume that a good proportion of those fans know the current state of things and/or are naffed off. You only have to listen to conversations around the arena to hear that the general opinion is overwhelmingly one of discontent.

Last nights security was a joke anyway. I joined a queue to get in at 6.30 when the queue was at least 100 metres long and stood patiently in line for ten minutes or more while they scanned everybody through. By the time i got 10 metres from the front,all of a sudden they did away with the scanners and just waved everybody through without any checks whatsoever. Farcical !

Maybe, maybe not, but it’ll get taken down in prompt fashion & said individuals get ejected.

A user name just like "BigLad" you mean ! 😂 Pmsl As for me doing nothing,yeah right. I may post under Iginla but I've got nothing to hide. I didn't shy away from telling Black exactly what I thought at the first Q+A and I wish he would have another one very soon,because I'd tell him straight again. I also offered to come on TCW twice,but that offer didn't get taken up either,probably because my views wouldn't be politically correct enough and I'd have fallen off the fence !

Maybe,but if you got enough people together at various points around the arena and at a pre arranged time you all unfurled the banners it would make for an interesting spectacle. It would take a while to get them all removed,especially considering the green jacket brigade don't usually even know what time of day it is. 😄

Doesn’t matter if security ask you to take it down. The protest has been made and the point made. As for getting banned - make sure you’ve got witnesses, be polite and helpful and they would have no valid reason to ban you. Don’t forget, Rob’s not been banned for peaceful protest but for calling NB out at the Q&A.
Yes, Black COULD ban you, but if you’re all on about not going anyway, why would it matter? In addition, I would make damn sure that if I were banned, and I’m willing to risk it, I’d make sure that he gave a reason, and I’d go public. He’d look a complete fool.

It's about numbers....
If one person does it then sure he's overwhelmed by the security.... But if 100 do it then it's another story.
I'm disappointed there are so many sad sorry individuals on here that have so little a spine as to support the organisation as opposed to the Nottingham Panthers...
Black and Moran are NOT the Nottingham Panthers.
I'll put my name down to be involved and stand proudly next to my fellow supporters but the rest of you who are so scared to support your club when it needs it, you get no respect from me ya big girls blouse's.

How can they ban you if they don't know who you are?
I'm up for a chant/banner.

Are the Panthers really worth it anymore? Just let them get on with it and enjoy the weekends doing something else. Life is too short.

Then don't post on here anymore...
If you have so little love for our club then off is the general direction I'd like you to go.

Just a thought.... If a person can't bring him or herself to stand up in support of their fellow supporters or if a person is SO adamant that the Black Organisation will not have their money would they be prepared to fund the purchasing of protest T-shirt ?

It's not the first time I've been asked to leave.... Although the last time it was Mr Mier who asked so nicely.
