Turn your back on Vincent Tan

Sun Dec 21, 2014 1:38 pm

On 19.27, turn around to show your back and sing 'Turn your back, turn your back, turn your back on Vincent Tan, turn your back on Vincent Tan.'

Then return to face the pitch and begin 'We'll always be blue'.

He has robbed us of our pride and passion. I believe he vindictively enjoys our predicament and the control he has on supporters. Turning of back in Tans culture would be considered disrespectful, which is how he has behaved to our club.

Most won't join the personal abuse that's occasionally sang to Tan, but this would maybe make a statement in a more acceptable way.

I doubt very much we will see Tan again.

Tunn your back or hold your scarf will make no difference. Tan doesn't even attend games anymore.

Even if he's not there, it'll feel good to make a different kind of stand that he might get told about. Apart from WABB, there's not enough regular chanting against him, the badge or the colour.

Unfortunately the only real way to show Tan its not acceptable is to vote with your feet. Horrible thing to say but it's only money he understands.

Keeping the fanbase blue is what is getting to Tan. He would rather see us all leave and fill the stadium with the red brigade.

I don't reckon even numbers dropping will make a difference. Remember he said in an interview that he would accept a percentage of supporters being lost but knew they'd be replaced with others. If it was about money, he would have gone back to blue by now to generate the shirt sales, etc.

You take the 6-10k faithful out and what red brigade would he will the stadium with?

Down the years, we've always had loads of good chants with banter. These days it's the same songs and it doesn't change. Target Tan with variety. I'm shite at making chants but 'Thanks for the money, but this isn't funny, we want our colour back, we want our colour back'

If Tan could do that then I would imagine every home game he would offer £5 admissions plus a red scarfe.

All the talk of loads not renewing isn't going to happen in my opinion. Tan over estimates the amount of new fans he can attract. If we were prem and the ground was full, it'll still be the bigger majority wanting blue. I believe even new fans joining will want a return to blue as that's what we've always been as new fans will still be from around the catchment and know how our colour should be.

Fair point although many wouldn't pay a fiver to watch the rubbish on show at the moment. Or if they did they would want £4.99 change :laughing6:
