Could we do something on Friday for this, a practice run?
like tinks coffin full of ice cold beers?
I am all ears.
You want to go the full hog though and not just the gold shirts but bring the tinkler out stubbins out Griff in protest to action before the FFA to let the ****s know that we mean business??
I think that is the point....FFA are no doubt just wishing this will go away until after the Asian Cup is over.
To do something on Friday, in front of all the AFC/FFA suits in attendance, on national and Asia wide television will embarrass them somewhat. Even just gathering on the hill or similar.
I have a ****ing banner and I will get the other **** finished.
It's on
I'll be wearing my gold shirt on Friday.
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
Just gather in gold on the southern hill I reckon, in camera shot.
A simple sign - "FFA, do something".
A cardboard sheet from the newsagent with texter message will suffice
Get them happening
Just use a bedsheet
One side: FFA - do something
Other side: This is a sheet

Note: before player sacking occurred.Fans plan golden protest over club
THE Squadron supporters group secretary Toby Mills said Jets fans were the ‘‘real losers’’ in the turmoil consuming the club.
The Squadron on Wednesday called on fans to wear gold shirts in protest against the management of the club.
The Jets wore gold during the first six seasons of the A-League, before owner Nathan Tinkler adopted the Knights colours of red and blue in 2011-12 as part of his ‘‘Team Newcastle’’ vision.
Who do you think is most to blame for the turmoil at the Jets?
The crisis deepened on Wednesday after the Jets said they had sacked players Kew Jaliens, David Carney, Billy Celeski, Joel Griffiths and Adrian Madaschi as well as staff Clayton Zane, Neil Young and Andrew Packer.
‘‘If the issues aren’t sorted out, the real losers are the fans,’’ Mills said. ‘‘We’re the people who have to show up week in week out and put up with this.
‘‘We don’t want to remove our support for the team and club, because you look how it went in North Queensland and the Gold Coast when things went pear-shaped there and people left the club enmasse and they no longer have clubs.’’
The Jets play their next game against Brisbane Roar at Hunter Stadium on February 6. The Squadron’s numbers have slumped in recent seasons, due to the Jets’ form and internal issues.
Mills said he was urging, not just The Squadron, but all Jets fans around the stadium to wear gold and send a clear message to Tinkler and Football Federation Australia.
‘‘What we wanted to do with wearing the gold kits was basically have something that is simple, visual and can be done by the masses,’’ he said.
‘‘Everyone who’s supported the club for years would probably have a gold kit or a piece of gold merchandise they can put on and say, ‘Look, I’m unhappy with how things are going,’ and I would love to see the stadium filled with gold shirts as it would show the football people in Newcastle actually care about the club.’’
It is not known whether Tinkler will be in charge of the Jets by the next home game as the FFA is understood to have set a deadline of Saturday for him to prove he is running the club properly.
Mills said The Squadron did not support nor condemn Tinkler but were demanding professional management of the club.
‘‘It’s the devil you know or the devil you don’t,’’ he said.
‘‘If the FFA take over and sell it to someone who might want to take them to south-west Sydney or somewhere like that, the FFA probably won’t stand in their way.
‘‘If Nathan Tinkler wants to keep the club here and runs it properly, that’s a good thing.’’
The FFA has said it was committed to having a team in Newcastle.
Go jetties
Anyone know what Josh Mitchells Twitter dig at Tinkler was about?
Something about 'the incident with your PA'.
he got his PA pregnant.

So to maximise a bit of impact with this protest Friday what say we start at a pre determined time to draw attention away from the game to us.
Kick Off probably not such a good idea as the cameras will stay with the game.
Lets pick a certain minute in the game when the protest starts and the cameras are obliged to show us instead of the game as we are the most poignant thing happening
Lets kick it off in the 8th Minute
Was just thinking exactly the same thing Member.
Ask everyone dressed in gold kit to assemble behind the goal on the southern hill just after kickoff, even those with tickets to the stands and kids especially. The idea being to recreate the incredible harmony of GF day when all types besides active support stood as one behind the goal.
At eight minutes a chant of some type (maybe just the "Jets" chant), placards/tifo raised for one full minute (at least till Fox catches it), applause around the stadium and then everyone can go back to their seats, community job done.
Shame the 2008 pullover doesn't exist anymore.

Fxxx me you're turning into the RBB, memba
But for real, if we do a Poznan at the 9th minute, singing "Joel Griffo, OLE OLE OLE, Joel Griffo OLE, Joel Griffo OLE OLE" I am 100% in.
OK
Someone get onto Griff and shout him a ticket to the game to come protest with us! That would be the ultimate F U!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Current and former Socceroos, plus their families (or, at least I know of one person who is the son of a former Socceroo who gets free tickets for himself and his Dad to every game), get free tickets to any HAL game they want.
OK
