i Hope all bears fans come along tonight and join the protest and bring along as many friends and family as humanly possible I don't think it would make one jot of a difference to Ashley as he has already shown contempt for us, but we have to try something.

if this does not make Ashley stand up and take notice I wonder if 100 plus bears fans standing outside the enterance of every Sports Direct store in Scotland protesting making it awkward for them to do business will make him take notice

Isnt a protest selfdefeating and just who is acceptable. given that some other group may not like the investors you do.?

Ashley does not care who he upsets. He will do what he wants, if he can get away with it. If the puppets give over the stadium, I think that will be the last straw for me.

I think we have to be a bit smarter in our protests, start using the things Ashley wants against him. At the same time as not starving the club of gate receipts so we don't need his loans.

He wants free advertising because of the size of the audience and media coverage, So let's start using the the same audience and media coverage to display our concern about with Big banners, expose his immoral greed, he makes his fortune by with his use of Zero ours contracts, let's find out where his own brand merchandise is made, i. e if made in India or the likes how much are these worker being paid.

Cant beet a good big banner criticizing not, only his involvement with just rangers but his ethics in the rest of his business, splashed across the press.

This way, along with his advertising goes Bad publicity, as the media report - Make it a marketing nightmare for him. To the point it become s more of a hassle for him that it is worth.

Those in the main stand for the first 10 mins of every match, don't watch the match but turn there backs on the director seating area, let's let the whole world see our dislike for them, and the let the media portrait the same.

Lets organise protests out side his shops, for his use of Zero hours contracts, and not to buy rangers merchandise from here.

Lets advocate the use of his rival DW sports, let's support him to squeeze him even more, so that Operating in Scotland is not profitable for him.

Send signed petitions from fans to the board pledging not to buy merchandising so they know not to order stock, that way they can't over order stock, and Ashley has to pay something back. This will also add pressure to the board, as they are legally obliged to act on behalf of all shareholders.

Start an online petition to get the number of signatures we need to have our case heard by politicians to look at accounts and the business dealings of the board.

Hold protests at McGill bus depots, until Easedale either sells or stops supporting Ashley, also set up social media campaigns advocating boycotts

Lets think of some catchy tunes to sing at matches to get Ashely out. It is better to single out one board member rather than them all, get them out one by one, the old saying Untied they stand Divided they fall.

{Ed001's Note - everybody already knows how he runs his business, but he still sells loads of stuff because no one cares. Your idea is pointless. It achieves nothing but putting more money in his back pocket through extra free advertising as it gets mentioned across more places and in the news.}
