ddaryl Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I don't live locally, but I am reading extreme discontent on all forums... The question is do you ticket holders and local fans have the guts to actually not attend the next game. WHo cares if they win this one, it won't mean we are anywheres near a playoff contender. Not as long as DJ is our HC... and Ralph continues to get away with his cheap coach hiring , and FO hiring ways. Why not put together and organzie a protest that is bound to get media attention. Why not goto the game Sunday... Tailgate, but instead of going into the game march circles around the stadium while the game is going on . Carry signs and make some noise outside of the stadium. The media will notice this and there will be major coverage started if 50% or more of the fans actually avoid going into the stadium to watch a coach they despise, and to grab the attention of the owner they have lost what little respect they had left for. the botom line is its time to put up or shut up.. .message board complainnig is one thing, but actually making a statement that will get heard loud and clear is the only thing the fans in Buffalo truly have.... make the statement.. Refuse to attend these games, otherwise you can expect more BS shoved down your throats..... this will probably not matter, but if you check mulitple message boards and start using social network sites for Bills fans this thing has a **** good chance of happening... everyone in the area who can be there needs to particiapte.. You want change like me... demand it !!!! I hope something does happen... we can't continue like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I proposed fans stay out of their seats until after kickoff. Just stay in the lobby. That way the cameras will pan on an empty stadium. Send out some press releases so the announcers can say why the seats are empty. At least people who spend money tickets don't have to miss the game. I wonder if Ralph will allow signs demanding Jauron's firing? I recall the hubbub ol' Whitey caused when he stopped fans from carrying signs into the stadium.

Mediaman Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 If we are still capable of doing the wave at RWS, why not just stand up and turn our backs to field at designated time during the game? I'm sure we could organize this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGimp Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 it's simple: still buy your tickets but DON"T show up! How great would it be if the stadium was empty for the next game even though it was a sellout! edit: still go for the good part (tailgate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Can't stop people from bringing in sheets of white poster board that get passed around a few sections and held up in a pattern that spells "Fire Dick!" I wanted to have multiple people walk in with individual letters that eventually would spell out, along the top row in front of the wall of fame: Sucka Dick Jauron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 The Fans will fill the stadium..... I hope they do because the Boos will be loud enough for Ralph to hear..... It think thats the best way to show the team we are not happy, is to boo the sh*t out of them. I agree that the best protests would be an empty stadium and you are right, that won't happen. They have booed at RFK Stadium at the Redskins the last two home games, maybe some of that might work at the Ralph. A different angle, didn't the winning stop about the time they changed the name of the Stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 As a season ticket holder i love the atmosphere of game day to much to not attend. Im all for a protest and holding up signs to fire DJ. Hell i wear a paper bag if we continue to lose But no way will i not attend a game.

How great would it be if the stadium was empty for the next game even though it was a sellout! edit: still go for the good part (tailgate) exactly go to the game have a great tailgate.. Organize some marches around the stadium bring your drumsn and noise makers. have some loud chants... I guarentee you the media will cover this maybe it doesn't do anything, but it's better then just booing in the stadium.. Bills fans have been booing for a decade hasn't really worked... and empty stadium sends a message, and empty stadium with the fans refusing to go it makes a major statement... stand up and make a statement otherwise stop complaining because you didn't do anything to make a difference. You bought your tickets, you bought your conessions and that is all that Ralph wants. The consession losses alone will grab his attention.. the media attention on a big protest will definitely grab attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want change like me... demand it !!!! I hope something does happen... we can't continue like this I was at a Bills - Redskins game when Rob Johnson was the backup qb. Late in the game, starting qb Ramsey was sacked and injured. The statium (in the middle of a 7 round wave) amlost instantly went silent when we realized Johnson would be coming in. When crowd went nuts and the loudest cheer I ever heard there was when Johnson was sacked. Monday morning Johnson was released from the Redskins. Point is to show up and demostrate to RW what you think of DJ by constant, relentless singing for the release of DJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
