The thing is the APL has already norticed and ignored the agst, a walkout now only punishes the players/owners who have likely already objected to the decision - not the APL (who I know includes the owners). Given the retraction of the owners names and repost of the decision it seems ill convdeived to walkout on thise who have voiced their discontent at this decision. Not going to the finals will make a massive impact. The NSW Gov has paid money to host the finals, hitting them in the pocket will mean there are some serious questions being asked.
The Nix haven't voiced their discontent though, have they? They told us loud and clear that selling fans and football for short term gain is completely worth it to them (& will continue to be in the future)



This is the only thing we can actually do to show our displeasure, beyond an easily muted social media feed. If the players and owners are punished, then they also feel the pressure to reverse this abortion of a decision and will continue to push back against the APL. The pressure mounts internally, and cracks (such as the Victory chair resigning as an APL Director & WU making public statements against) start to open. Its kind of a core function of protesting, which you continue to demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of.


He desperately doesn't want the weekend entertainment interrupted and will defend the Nix to the death to make that happen.
 
Yeah spot on

as I would expect any fan of the club to do.
I love my team and will be with them through thick and thin. This is somehting that is being done to them as much as us, not BY them. 

Lashing out/Protest is a way of voicing your displeasure, but you need to make sure you're targetting the right people and this walk out is not hitting the people who made the decision you're so unhappy about,
I don't actually get to go to any games that the APL team plays, so I can't walk out of those ones.

I'm very upset at the Phoenix and their pissweak response. and have emailed them to ask for a pro-rata membership refund. They're just one of the parties involved and their refusal to stand up for us is part of what needs to be protested. That, in turn, makes the Phoenix put pressure on the APL.

Its willfully disingenuous to say this is being done to the Phoenix when they've publicly said that they support the decision and haven't uttered a word in protest - they've made their position on this very clear and now, as fans, it is our turn.

This is targeting the right people, regardless of whether you refuse to see it or not. The Phoenix are complicit and if we want there to be a football club to support in the future then protest action is necessary immediately, lest they contribute to the destruction of the league as we know it (which, to me and many of the Aussie journos, looks to be the likely outcome here).

If you just stand quietly while they kill us by a thousand cuts then you'll be left standing there wondering what happened and regretting not speaking up when you had the chance when we do go.  God forbid anything be more important than 180 minutes of football this weekend.
 
Do the right thing, walk out.
