RBB Silent Protest – Sunday 10th of March 2013

Fair enough. I stand by what I said earlier - I support your intentions, but believe this won't achieve anything. If anything, more ppl will pay to watch this 20 min silence = more revenue = big fat pay cheque for DG. Hit the FFA where it hurts most - revenue. Don't attend games if you're serious about promoting this cause. Now THAT will hit the FFA hard. These are my 2 cents. I hope I'm wrong though.

you know most of us are season ticket holders right? Not attending will cost the club nothing except piss money... And if we wanted to do that, everyone could just get smashed at the woolie before hand.

 

I will be vocal from the first minute. Whilst it's admirable what you are trying to do for YOUR mates, but I attend Wanderers games for the team. No one is bigger than the team. This is an extremely important game and I'm not willing to jeopardize our chances of maintaining top spot. All football fans and players know how hard it is to turn the momentum of a game particularly after a slow start. How do you think the players feel after they shake hands and start jogging towards a silent Active Support...

Everything's been organised a specific way to work around what needs to be done.

 

If you stand in any of the active support regions and even think of doing what you said, i'm telling you now, I will happily escort you the **** out of the terrace personally.

You wont have to worry about messing up your hankerchief I sit in the eastern terrace.

I respect what the RBB is trying to do, but not the means of how it is going about it.

To be honest I just can't see this achieving anything meaningful.

This I do know- Beauchamp and the boys will be playing against a team who will want to beat them. The boys will be hoping for the same support they've had all year. In the clubs very short history, this will be the first time they have played as competition leaders and the first 20 minutes will be in silence. I just can't see anything being achieved.

I would think a legal approach for those with the bans would be much more likely to succeed.

Fair enough, but a lot of people pay to see the WSW because of the atmosphere you guys create. You might question the loyalty of these fans, but that's the reality.

Go start dragging kids out, go.

Breathe mate, breathe.

Don't recall questioning anyone's loyalty. 

Shoulder to Shoulder brothers

Football is a celebration. If you don't agree with the RBB on this, that is fine. But remember that the following home game...when you sit and cheer in the RBB. Twenty boys who have been there since the very beginning are not there, and have no right to appeal bans. Why is the FFA, Parramatta Stadium and Hatamoto exempt from the laws we all have to adhere to as inhabitants of this great land. No proof, no explanation...NO NOTHING!

They're not MY mates, I barely know any of the banned, they're my RBB brothers. Don't be a selfish child! Stand up for your fellow Wanderer.

Well if that's the case, please keep your self and your mentallity there. These are our brothers. We'd do it for the current and the future members of the RBB. If you had even the slightest of clues what injustices have unfolded since the birth of the terrace, you'd shut your mouth. We are not at will to give out all the details we have, but don't you ******* dare question the reasons behind it. It's not a spur of the moment '**** the pigs' type thing. Alot of time and effort has gone into this. Single minded ****s as yourself are what we don't need right now.

Now excuse me for being harsh, but im **** im sick of **** like this.

Can everyone chill out a bit. People are entitled to their opinion. This is targeted at those people standing in the Northern terrace. Not for one minute do we expect the entire stadium to be silent.

Do you not pay attention?  A key part of the problem is that the "legal option" vis a vis bans has been effectively circumvented, and barely exists. 

This threads going to turn into a **** storm.

Has anyone approached ANZSLA regarding these issues?

Agreed.

It would be appreciated if that support were shown, but those outside of the north end need not feel they are being coerced into anything.

Nonetheless, a bit of solidarity *would* be appreciated.

Spot on GOAT.

Have those members that have been banned and that have been refused an appeal contacted the Australian Sports Ombudsmen? This is where you need to go to when you need to review or overturn bans from national sporting bodies. This does cater for off-field decisions such as spectator bans. See http://www.ausport.gov.au/site_tools/contact_us/web_forms/complaint for more information.

Interesting fact is that Wanderers haven't had a goal scored against them within the first 15mins of a game all season... If they keep that form I'm sure they will be fine against Wellington for the first 20

Is that home and away games?

This. And also maybe get the backing of the ANZSLA - always good to have the support of a body of lawyers. Who knows, there might be a lawyer from ANZSLA willing to take this case on pro-bono

+ 1 x everything ive ever known

Not my area of expertise, not one of my strong points at all, but if the decision by the FFA to ban spectators can be interpreted as "administrative in character", then these decisions may be reviewable under the ADJR Act where a party can seek certiorari and mandamus as a judicial remedy.

Boban you're in practice, what do you think?
