all I can hope is that the protest/walk out or whatever is done smartly.
I'd support it wholeheartedly if it didnt kick sand in our own owners face. I dont see that theya re the ones to blame here. 
the question I have then, if the APL get removed, replaced by someone else - who is/are these people that are goinna do it better? I'd rather have a league on borrowed time than no league at all.
The APL board should've been independent in the first place. High profile directorships of a national sports league  will be filled with high quality applicants, and they'd actually be independent unlike the existing board.

Its not kicking sand in the owners faces, we're still buying tickets and its no skin off their nose if we stay for 90 minutes or not. If we were boycotting, you might have a point.

Sure, but what impact on future crowds is the YF elaving at the 20 minute mark gonna have. We are already struggling to attract crowds, YF leave and the game goes quiet, the wmen get no support unless you come back adn repeat. Next home game those that bought a ticket on the day wont be back to watch you all leave again - the sentiment will be one of "if they don't want to watch why should I?"

I'm assuming you'll have some plans to let people know why you're walking out? Because the people at the game will want to know.


I'm still waiting for the Fever to advise the official approach but I absolutely expect a large number of banners and chants, that's part of the walkouts that were already successful in the league and I don't see why it wouldn't continue.

I believe the intent is to return for the ALW game and whether we convert  2-3 casual fans who showed up for the nice weather is secondary at the minute. I think the future crowd impact would be negligble, because there's a negligble amount of existing crowd to lose.
