St Pauli Was about to post a thread on a similar subject.
I'll not be able to boycott the Derby game as I've promised my soon to be father in law I'll take him.
Would be interested in another pants day though or similar. Bit uncomfortable at the sectarian nature of a 'wear green to get out orange' day but if that's direction it takes I could change my mind.

Forest Gump This is probably repeating elements of several other threads but no one appears to have put it strongly enough yet.
80% of us want a change of manager but the owners are not hearing us.
They appear not to follow the results and in any case when Reading lose a game it’s just another poor performance on the day.
However, protests and boycotts do tend to get more coverage as they signal that things are exceptionally bad.
Therefore if you are happy with the management of your club at the moment please ignore this.
If however, like me you are infuriated with the “get someone else” attitude of Stam and his inability to see what he is doing to OUR club - not his - then you must do something direct.
Complain all you like but that won’t on its own change this situation.
So I suggest that you either:
Boycott the Derby game altogether or
If you attend wear something Green
- an anti-Orange protest, if you like, or Green for GO!
And direct the boos directly at the manager ( not the players) as it’s his system that is at fault.
Let’s be honest, it’s a certain home defeat anyway but at least if the fans register a shot at the board of the Club we will have done something constructive.

Make sure you have a commitment that he will still pay his share of the wedding even though you have wasted several hours of his life.

I think he'd quite enjoy the spectacle of a club in freefall particularly as an impartial observer (he's a villa fan) and also the ritual of the match day (pub, ground, pub) as he doesn't get to go to VP any more living in Cardiff.

Snowflake Royal I reserve protests for the real shit and people who have been consistently poor with no history of success for us, personally.
I won't chant 'Stam out', 'sacked in the morning' or wave around pants because I don't think he deserves it. So far he's had an excellent season beyond all expectations and most of a pretty poor one. But currently we're not really a lot worse off than the two seasons prior to him taking over, but with a better squad for recovering.
It just strikes me as ungrateful. He's performed badly enough to be sacked but I have no ill will towards him. If he goes it'll be 'thanks for your efforts and the good times' from me and 'lets get on with it and back the team and new guy'
I don't think thrre really needs to be much pressure from the fans. The general malaise on the pitch is pretty clear and results and performances speak for themselves.
Sutekh Could I just suggest that if you wanted to boycott a game the Derby one (24th Feb) would be a perfect choice as I believe it clashes with the FA Vase quarterfinals and Bracknell Town, Thatcham Town and Windsor will all be playing - so would be a great alternative to get out and watch football as it's meant to be seen (and probably stand a chance of being entertained as well).

windermereROYAL After the 2nd goal a few of us were on our feet trying to get a STAM OUT chant going. everyone just sits there in silence.

Lower West Reading has lost currently it's soul. We are little more than a stepping stone for Stam and the better squad players.
We want out club back...........
