Rumour has it there is going to be a protest at Odsal this weekend in favour of sacking Steve McNamara.

Are you planning in joining the protest or will you join in if you see it?

Personally I won't do either. Although I do wish Macca to be replaced I would sooner see Peter Hood do it off his own back than bow to crowd pressure.

Although I have no objection to a peaceful protest and people do have the right to have one.

Could see ME's first visit of the season.

I don't do protests.

My form of protest is to leave as soon as the hooter goes. I'll never boo the team, but if I don't think they put enough effort in or were so bad it was embarrassing, I'll leave without applauding them off. If they at least look like they really tried, I'll applaud them off no matter of result.

As yet, I haven't left before the final hooter (ever). Although that was very close to changing at Hull on Sunday.

There wont be a protest. If anything at all it'll be a few lads booing McNamara when they see him and then people grumbling and walking out early if we lose. If we're winning and/or do win you wont even hear any booing of McNamara.

And if there was anything, however small, I'd treat it with the contempt it deserves and ignore it.

there would be no way i would get involved in a protest. like dilligaf says, if you're not happy with the product then don't clap them at the end.

Well it's the first I've heard of it.

It's not the Bulls' way and IMO won't happen

Aye. that'll show them.

Rather that than just not showing up at all though.

Stamping your feet like a toddler isn't the answer. If ever there was a time for unity, it's now. Let's here from the people that have voted yes to joining the protest. What do you think it'll achieve?

I know the point you are trying to make, but in all seriousness, how?

I would wager that if people that want McNamara out started boycotting home games, it would have more of an effect and quicker than them all turning up en mass, then simply leaving at the end..much like everyone else in the ground.
way to show your feelings lads, round of applause please, Macca will be out on his ear before he knows it!

How else are the support supposed to get their feelings across?

If they don't turn up, they are slammed - if they boo during or at the end of the game they are slammed, so if people think the way for them to get their opinion across is to have a protest then fair play to them.

It's funny because the usual complaint is that the support, and public, is apathetic - yet they are not supposed to show any discontent either.

I'm still not sure the club have grasped how hacked off a lot of the fans are at the moment, if something like this happens and gets the message home then good luck to them.

Someone who doesn't show up when they have no reason why they can't (i.e. they're working, live miles away etc), in my opinion, doesn't have the right to call themselves a "supporter". The very definition of a supporter states that you SUPPORT the team, through thick and thin. You don't just stop bothering to turn up because you don't like someone, or whatever other excuse you can think of to cover up the fact that they're just not winning all the time.

I don't disagree with people if they want to protest, as long as it's not violet or vindictive. I personally wouldn't go that way, but if they want to, that's up to them. People who stay away from the game altogether though are not helping anything.

Where didn this rumour come from and what sort of protest is it going to be?

Isn't that what's happening already?

No, people aren't going because we aren't winning.

People can pretend it's because of a boycott all they like, but I don't buy that for a minute. People who aren't going when they have no good reason, are not going because they don't like to support a team who aren't winning.

I read it on the telegraph website a few days back.

OK. If thats the way you want to play it. I'm not a supporter. I am a fan though. and there's a difference.

To get back on topic a little - I would back a protest, dependant on how it was carried off. I have no problem with people getting their point across in that manner. lets hope it works if it does happen.

I would wager there is a direct correlation between those not attending & those wanting Macca out. I've spoken to a number myself. The last part of your message is also accurate.

dependant on the form this supposed protest takes i may back it at the time.

personally i think that if something like this is planned then it shows true heart and commitment to the club from the fans. we've taken as much of mcnamara's crap as we can and we'll not stand for it any more.

I think it should be a nude protest in the middle of the pitch.

i can't see that quite working?

you would

What kind of attendance are you guys expecting on sunday.

Around 10k

Well, we were always accused of being `glory fans` a few years back, which looking at current attendances would now seem to have been a fair criticism of a good few back then. This does affect every club in every sport though, and I don`t think there is any club in any league, anywhere that this doesn`t apply to; the better the results, generally the better the `support`.

It has always has been easier to support success rather than failure and I guess that everyone has a lower limit, beyond which they feel they can no longer support a club, which is fair enough and I won`t criticise anyone for making whatever decision they feel is right for them; you pay your brass and you take your pick.

I guess we all sometimes feel we know better than the professionals, even though we often have little background knowledge of what is going on within the club (rumours on here don`t count, btw winkicon_smile.gif and only a basic idea of the game at an amateur level.
