Drilling was right.

It's needed.

Sadly I don't think that 90% of NTFC followers are even aware that there may be a problem!

Its not like the team has lost 8 in a row so we can protest against the manager and everyone joins in, there has to be more awareness made to the masses of the whole situation.

That said, we are still in DC's latest "4 week timeframe" for this all to be completed. It may still happen, I have my serious doubts of course, but it may still happen!

Should be outside Sixfields, where by folks dont enter the ground until say 3:10, this will be mentioned more on TV by the lack of fans inside at KO.
No reason to go over the top, just something small and subtle, that gains media attention. Then questions will be asked and more publicity generated.
The match with Oxford, perhaps to soon, but would give time to spread the word, the match with Leyton Orient could be more high profile if they are at the top of the league. This would also give the club adequate time to respond over the growing concerns about the situation.

Holding up question marks like we did against bristol city a few years back could work. Most peoples fustrations are that no one has a clue what's going on

I agree, loads of ? mark signs is a good idea. Maybe a chant of "Where's the money gone" while the teams come out and have photos, a good few minutes here to get the point across. We do need answers and doing nothing is getting nothing back from the club or Chairman

Then from kick off get right behind the lads in what could turn out to be a playoff six pointer come the end of the season

Maybe some A4 sheets with a ? on one side and the FACTS on the back and a list of questions we want answering. Hand them out at the bottom of the stairs that most people walk down with instructions to hold them up pre game. At least then everyone knows whats going on.

Get a decent # trend going #WeWantAnswers for example and post this at the end of every NTFC status update on Facebook and Twitter and one the Chron website comments sections. We have a week to get the started.

Sadly, this may be a case of the head ruling the heart.  The only party that has any real position in the current mess is the Trust through its director of NTFC and its shareholding. The Trust can win the publicity the situation is calling out but it needs to up its game. It shows no sign of doing that.

So those that are bothered take it into their own hands and do something. Or maybe people are just happy moaning on the internet and then will turn up to the next game and do nothing about it.

The definition of madness is doing things exactly the same and expecting things to change.

If we do nothing at the end of the Oxford game, win lose or draw we will be in the same position with nobody none the wiser as to whats going on.

Perhaps we should ask our sky blue friends what makes a successful protest?

My prediction for this thread:

1) A couple of pages of random moaning
2) Nobody taking up the batton to do anything constructive
3) No protest at the next game
4) This time next week everyone moaning about the same things
5) Return to point 1 and repeat

Here is the ultimate protest (ST holders aside):
Every time you get the urge to attend a game, stick £20 in a pot and stay at home.
Once the big bad wolf has gone, either donate the money to the club, or if you think we have a new big bad wolf buy yourself something pretty.
