The 72 unite against Academy proposals
from hf board just been posted up by '72 unite' so seems to be going national
-------------------------------- We 'the 72 unite', made up of fans from the Football League are angered by, and at a loss to explain, the news today that the proposed legislative changes to the existing academy systems have been voted in favour of. In the current financial climate with the divide between rich and poor widening on a daily basis, Modern Football continues to be an exaggerated version of the overall global picture. THE RICH CONTINUE TO GET RICHER, WHILE THE POOR SUFFER. Lower league football is dying, starved by Premier League greed and excess. Attendances are down, and clubs will soon cease to exist, unable to balance the books to survive let-alone compete with the elite. The lifeblood of Football League clubs are their successful academy systems, some of which have supported and sustained clubs for many years, producing local, homegrown talent representative of the area and fanbase. Today’s ruling cuts this essential lifeblood at the arteries and will signal the death knoll, the final nail in the coffin for the survival of Professional Football outside the Premier League. In response we are calling for action from EVERY FAN at EVERY MATCH on Saturday 29th October 2011 to UNITE, rise-up and fight for the very existence of their clubs. It’s NOW OR NEVER we must met the Premier League and FA know we will not be trampled on. EVERY FAN, EVERY GAME – BOYCOTT FIRST FIVE MINUTES TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THIS INJUSTICE AND SHOW THE STRENGTH OF OPPOSITION TO PROPOSALS The72unite@gmail.com ![]() Last edited by libran : 20-10-2011 at 05:19 PM. |

What on earth is the point of boycotting 5 minutes of your own clubs game?

I guess because it will be a highly visible statement that would get top national coverage If there's a televised game that w/end then Sky would have to address the issue too |

Surely cancelling sky subscriptions would be more effective.

probably to show strength of feeling/ get nationwide coverage/show a united front. Even the papers couldn't ignore that.
Most clubs have voted in favour of the proposals as it is... |

how does that work? Unless it's some sort of mass protest as well then it's unlikely it will get any media coverage.

That's what the poster is in Libran's post is calling for - a mass protest nationwide. If all fans boycott the first 5 minutes of the game, commentators/media are going to be wondering what the hell is going or they will have seen the statement and poster and realised it's about clubs uniting against the new ruling. I think it's a great idea and hopefully it get's the attention of all fans of the 72 clubs, it's time to stand up and fight and this is a great first step. |

I'll be part of it. Sitting outside by the turnstiles for 5 minutes is no harm.

I will support this, something has to be done, we can all say how pointless it is, or we can actually do something about it, There was some on here that said protesting to save our club was pointless, glad i ignored them, FFS be counted and help save our game.

Just out of interest, what have you got planned? what are your thoughts? for or against, and if against do you plan to make your feelings known at all?

And what % of fans do you seriously think will stay outside the ground for the 1st 5 minutes? 5? 10 at the absolute tops and thats only where people know about it 50% of people wont even know about the academy thing let alone this protest Well intentioned no doubt, but utterly futile, IMO of course

If we hadn't protested, there's every chance we wouldn't have a club now.
From the words of Steve Browett. There's 9 days of publicity ahead for this.

Surely protesting outside the FA HQ will be FAR more effective
