Just don't go to Stevenage next season. Don't give that club any money. Let them steward an empty stand.

Quoted from Theimperialcoroner
Can I suggest that in an appropriate minute of the game on Saturday a good 1000 or so bras are chucked onto the pitch to cause a stoppage in play. This gets publicity and makes a point to all those that it needs making to that we will not be cowed by nonsense from the supposed custodians of the game. That’s what they should be, not careerists when are using it fo their own ambition and not for the betterment of the game.
Maybe you be 70th minute is best as wasn’t one of the ladies that age?

No one is really going to the Sunderland game so no-one will care, but get it on a league game then it becomes a bigger thing if done well.

I'm keeping mine on, it's nippy as fcuk this time of year.

Brilliant idea. Surely you couldn't find a better way to publicise the issue. It'd be funny and a great way of making the point.

Why not boycott a league game aswell then? Most people will boycott the B team game anyway. Boycotting a league game would show how serious we are.

It'd take a bloody good throw for a bra to reach the pitch from the back of the Upper or Pontoon.  You'd probably have to put a tennis ball in one of the cups for it to make it to the pitch.

Does this raise the spectre of our own stewards searching fans on the way into the ground to check we haven't got a concealed brassiere to throw onto the pitch?

Isn't that playing into their hands though? Away fans are treated as an incovenience by many clubs. I suspect a lot of bigger clubs would like to get rid of them altogether if they could. Mansfield was a joke with the massed ranks of police and anyone with a Town shirt on was treated like a criminal.

Better to protest like we did at Barnet (after the FGR incident).

I'd like to see a picket of the turnstyles at the B Team game with bras tied across the street. It would be a great double protest against bragate and B teams.

I once went out with a girl that had tennis balls in her bra.
