#SellBeforeWeDai Action/Inaction Group

I think we should write Dai a strongly worded letter expressing our dissatisfaction. His behaviour is most unbecoming.

I'm tempted to write it in CAPITALS, maybe even RED text and a very serious looking font (definitely not comic sans) and no emoji's.

And in Mandarin Chinese so he can understand it?

Maybe Chinglish as a compromise.

Caroline Parker from SBWD just on Sky Sports News, she again reiterated the point about the funding of the club before she was cut off for a commercial break.

In the defence of Sky Sports News they did have to cover Man City as they've got breaking news in relation to two players who have knee strains and can't play the next game. Understandably this needs covering.

On a serious note, I wonder what the action will be. Caroline Parker also listed on Twitter all of the things the fans have done, March, Tennis Balls, TV screens at Dai's house, pitch invade etc... what more can we possibly do?

I do think something will happen at the Huddersfield game and I think it will probably be an abandonment. This feels worse than last time as we've had the hope, the opportunity and we had a new owner ready which has now been torn away from us.

... what more can we possibly do?

We have a number of games broadcast on SkySports this season, We need to make our voices heard at these games but, If we start getting kick offs delayed and games abandoned Sky Sports will just pull the plug and show other teams thereby reducing our ability to make our voices heard and generate publicity.

Selles has asked the fans not to add to players' disruption, so presume that kills in match disruption as an idea; will never get enough consensus.

Not to mention an abandonment triggers a points deduction, which is the last thing we need.

Need to make next Sat a Ruben appreciation day

[Sutekh]

We do NOT want an abandonment, really do not want players peed off any more with stupid unnecessary things that take away from the hard work they get through on the pitch. Dai is quite capable of managing that by himself.

This. As frustrated as we all are we mustn't lose the players and staff with another abandonment. We need to properly get behind them and show them all is not lost.

Given the next home game is on telly think the rather obvious thing to do is turn up in numbers, provide very obvious noisy support for the team and manager while visually displaying several very large "FOR SALE" signs. Think that inoffensively gets the message across without running the risk of points deductions etc.

Good shout. And in terms of an inspirational quote from the great man himself. "You ask what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terror. Victory however long and hard the road may be. For without victory there is no survival".

Good idea. Maybe add a question mark?

I am sure Mick Gooding would be delighted to donate some sale boards!

At this stage, protests do naff all. We need to fill the stadium for the live game and hope to catch someone's attention, that we're a well supported club worth investing in!

Instead of protesting, start putting your energies into raising money for the club, and start planning for the worst and a phoenix club! If SBWD don't, someone else will, and you then don't get much of a say.

SBWD have published a leter, red cards will be handed out before the game to those where Sky cameras are likely to cover. Request to raise these on the 18th minute.

I will admit to not having better ideas, but I absolutely hate this type of thing. It's lame and it depends on Sky even noticing.

They do also say:

Why this protest was chosen:
- Suggested by fans
- Looks good on TV
- Really easy to execute - a walk out would have relied on mass participation
- Inspired by the red book protest - this can cut through to China
- This protest is something to put on Weibo, as we look to establish a presence on Chinese social media

Maybe it's me, but I just can't imagine any case where Dai would even know or care what we're up to. I've said before he probably doesn't even know or care about results, let alone someone saying "Sir, a few thousand fans have raised red cards".

I know it's about raising awareness. It's interesting about the Chinese social media though.


EDIT: further to this, I actually think tennis balls are way more effective. They stop the game for a short period (1-2 minutes). They force cameras to cover it as it will be on the field of play. It won't result in punishment. And it carries more weight then some fans lifting red paper.

I get the sentiment that it will hopefully give the commentators a talking point, but it almost makes light of the situation imo. "Oh look they're showing their naughty owner the red card lol".

At least use black cards to symbolise death, or hold up some cardboard tombstones.

If we are all standing up and chanting SKY will notice.

What is the preferred chant, perhaps you could really catch attention by chanting something in Chinese.
