These protests are tame and seems to me like self promotion now. I agree protests should be lawful. Take Reading they are proposing a sit in at the final whistle to protest - far more effective than shining a mobile!

When protest groups get too cozy then action fizzles out. Miles should be made to feel very uncomfortable whilst not threatened!

Far too tame and ineffective for me and would Lai care? No!!
Good for traveling to todays game given the weather forecast. I hope you return safely and we get the result we are all hoping for.

As I said previously, reading between the lines, (and I may be reading it wrong) the appreciation is there to indicate that any protest is not aimed at Carlos or the players. It is aimed solely at the ownership.

Regarding protests, I wonder what a sit in would achieve, other than focusing the attention of a wider audience. It may cost the club more in staffing and policing and at some point the fans will have to leave the stadium. As you point out about Mr Lai not caring, will the Reading owners care, perhaps, if the aforementioned staffing and policing of the sit is costly on the clubs finances. That in turn may, as we have found with Mr Lai, can become a financial drain on the club.

Personally, I’d find it difficult to criticise Action4Albion. Why, well because if you asked me what I am doing to get Lai out of the club, I would have to admit that I am not doing anything. How can I be critical of them when they are at least making an effort to bring the clubs plight to the attention of a wider audience.
