We've certainly been good at the easy chants (Mills at R&D away a prime example), but I can't remember many big protests that I've seen other clubs have organised against owners and to a lessor extent managers.

No proper protests against owners, no. Other than Trew, previous owners all realised when they'd outstayed their welcome and quit before a protest was necessary. Scardino tried to wrestle back control but was deemed even less credible than Bhatia/Strang. The Trews ought to have been the sole target of the Orient protest rather than Fullarton, but he'd somehow managed to make himself more disliked than them in the space of a mere six weeks or so.

Just three games into this season, unbeaten, we really shouldn't be having this discussion. No idea if NCMAD in any way reflects the general mood of the fans, but if it does, LW has a very tough job ahead of him.
