ian1964 10,761 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) The final plans for Boycott Spurs on Sunday have been confirmed by the Ashley Out campaign organisers. Late on Thursday night the information below was announced, detailing what the schedule is for the Spurs matchday. Updated #BoycottSpurs protest announcement Ten days ago, only one day after we launched AshleyOut.com, we publicly backed the #BoycottSpurs concept first floated on Twitter by @NUFC_Stats and quickly endorsed by many, for a one-match boycott of the Tottenham Hotspur game due to be televised by Sky Sports from St. James’ Park on Sunday 19th April at 4pm. In our initial announcement we promised we would endeavour to provide materials, manpower and publicity to ensure the protest becomes a success, and we are well on course to deliver on that promise. Today we can announce our finalised plans, after liaising with Northumbria Police and Newcastle City Council. From one hour before kick off we will have volunteers at the ready to hand out 20,000 A4 leaflets explaining the details of the protest, and which can also be used to send Mike Ashley a clear message, whether inside St. James’ Park or outside, that the fans of Newcastle United have had enough. We would like to invite you to join us for a visual and audible pre-boycott/game protest behind the Gallowgate, opposite to the club shop, starting 30 minutes before kick-off, at 3:30pm (not in Leazes Park as previously stated!) Following this protest, we will head over to Leazes Park after the game has kicked off, where no specific protest activities have been planned, but where we will spend one and a half hours feeding the ducks, watching the grass grow and having a kick-about with fellow fans (there is every chance you will see more determination than on the pitch a few hundred feet to the South). We encourage those fans who wish to boycott the game for the greater cause, but who can’t deal without their weekly fix of Newcastle United, to watch the game in one of the many pubs who have offered discounts to (season) ticket holders during the game in support of #BoycottSpurs. A list of participating venues can be found at the end of this statement. Just before full-time we will head back to behind the Gallowgate end towards the corner of Strawberry Place and Barrack Road where all fans are invited to join us for a post-boycott/game protest starting at 5:45pm. Whilst we ultimately respect each individual fan’s decision on whether to join the boycott or indeed our protests before kick-off and after full-time, we urge every Newcastle fan to join us in this peaceful demonstration of unity and strength to show the world that we want a club to be proud of once again. Whether Sunday’s boycott is heeded by 500 or 50,000, AshleyOut.com will be proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with like-minded fans as together we take the first step in reclaiming our club This is only the start.

BEARGER 1,830 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Seems a bit complicated. Asking fans to wait around for a couple of hours seems to me a bad move. But all the best to them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,429 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yes, they should have got someone to sponsor a big screen in the park to watch the match on before heading back at full time. It will be interesting to see how successful the boycott is for a first attempt. I wish them the very best of luck in ridding themselves of the parasite which is leeching their club of its very soul. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 it's a start, their resistance group will make mistakes but they will learn. I hope their boat comes, if i didn't support the Gers, Newcastle would be the team of choice for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearman 9 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Never could understand a word the Geordie's say, same as Liverpudlians and Welsh folk. Can't speak a f@ckin' word of English. If it wasn't for their dumbass acceptance of Ashley in the first place we up here would never had to endure him for the last couple of years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't have the information we had. He seems to have been pretty much universally despised down there from near enough day 1, whereas he had very significant backing from our support until his plans to use Ibrox for security came out. You yourself were a keen supporter of him and had a misguided idea he was here to splash the cash.

You yourself were a keen supporter of him and had a misguided idea he was here to splash the cash. Lets not start blaming or accusing anyone. Many were taken in by Murray, Whyte, Green and Ashely. Sometimes you get things wrong and it happens to all of us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hopefully they will get bigger numbers as this goes on, good start though. SOS stared with only about 10 members? That turned out pretty well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
