To be fair to The Ultras that I know they just got sick of it all and gave up, now some are moving away from England, let alone Carlisle.
Best bet would be putting a huge banner up somewhere public on the eve of the match or something as you may not be able to get a banner inside the Stadium, take a few pics and get it volleyed all over social media - then the papers will get involved you would think. I like the stickers idea personally to get support drummed up around the City.

How about something like this with MRF and Wukkie manning the barricades as the face(s) of Carlisle United.

13,000 watched a drab 0-0 draw with Canvey Island in the conference, Really?I thought it was about half that to be honest... It was, just over 7,000 if memory serves me!

Don't think a first game boycott will make a difference tbh needs to be every home game till they go it's not ideal and it goes against every single moral that being a supporter of a team means but turning up is more or less the green light for them to carry on as normal.

Agree with your sentiment but boycotting just won't work. There just won't be the numbers to make a difference. Protests always will be the attention getters and most likely to gain media attention, therefore further pressure on the owners. Now, a protest every home game, then you're talking!

"We all marched from the Civic and around the ground as the match was being played. "I must have missed that. What game was that? There was a meeting in the Beehive a few weeks before, for folk to suggest various methods of protest etc. I suggested a march, to which Kate Rowley said no as would need organised, police notice etc. A few weeks later they did the very thing they said they couldn't!

Realty may have hit on something. In the Bates days at Leeds, one of the things the Trust did was take an advert out "time for change" which was stuck on a lamppost outside the ground, facing onto the corporate end entrance (and facing the boardroom). It was meant to have really got under his skin! Does one of the Rugby club guys not post on here - what about permission from them to hang something next to the BP front door/players car park.

I'm presuming your talking about me Mr White. To be honest anything like that would have to go to the committee, and I can quite categorically say without any hesitation it would be a big fat NO. There are simply to many connections between the two clubs in which to 'rock the boat' so to speak. Our ground staff share equipment. They help each other out for holidays, staff shortages, match days ect. Most of the board members and our committee members know each other, both socially and in business. There are two senior people that each work, one here, and one at United that are married!! And lets face it, I know we all want change, but were not at the 'Knighton Stage' yet are we?

Id say we are at the Knighton stage, or pretty close anyways. We have gone from just missing out on promotion to the Championship to just missing out on relegation to the Conference. The club is completely reliant on an 80 year old who has a terrible record of running the club and whose family are completely against any further funds being 'invested'. And the men in charge are using the club for there own personal reasons rather than for the good of it. At least Knighton didn't hide behind a veneer of 'custodianship'.

I'd say we are well and truly at the Knighton stage of things, Bry. What an odd comment.

So let's just suffer as a soft touch while JN sits in power like an unwanted leader of a communist state. As long as it's "his" ship that sinks he is not bothered. By the looks of things, he would rather retain power and FA privileges but sink his own ship rather than gracefully getting of it and take pleasure in watching from a distance with some level of credibility.......but hey, you can always prove us wrong JN, we wait covering our ears as the communication is deafening.
