How does the Yellow Army organise (like today's protest)?

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

So, living in Vic now i'm a bit out of the loop (didn't even get to watch the game today either), but I saw the banners on facebook from the YA as well as hearing about the silence at 30min (and there's some 30 day thing?)..

So what I'm wondering is, how does this stuff get organised and communicated to the fans? There's been no mention of any of that on here or the facebook pages, so until I saw photos on facebook I was just assuming we weren't doing anything in support...

I have no idea... and I totally understand the reasons behind it all, but sitting from the sidelines and watching all this unfold in the media circus circulating around Rebecca Wilson and Alan Jones with the fans banned etc.... I find it bloody ridiculous to try and make a statement and impact with the wanderers RBB walking out at 30mins. As if FFA are going to care when ticket sales are done and dusted, revenue earned and they walk out at 30mins. They've already made their $$!!
They have the numbers to make a difference, why not make a better statement by just simply not turning up!! Travelling over an hour with paid tickets etc, then walking out after 30mins just does not make sense to me.

Given that it was dollars our club gained (minus the usual) I am very glad they came. Not turning up would have hurt us, and not had any impact on TV (which is the only real avenue above social media to be noticed).

There was a big statement put out during the week on the YA facebook that said what we were doing and somebody copied it into a thread here.We worked with the RBB and knew when they were leaving so that's when the banners went up.There's not that much to it.Our plan was to go silent from 30 when they left and start again at the 80th.
As said above a total boycott would send a better message maybe but IMO I think it says more that they were willing to travel all this way then leave so early.FFA are in a shit storm and don't look like getting out if it any time soon.

You gangs of organised terror thugs with your organisation.

Will no one think of the children?

I saw the YA post that said they were planning on going quiet at some point but that was it, and I didn't see anything on here.

Carrier pigeons!

Even Hatamoto aren't into falconry, let alone other supporter groups. Security assured!

Congratulations YA on the banner, the message sent really cut through and contributed to Gallops media response today.
