Want Brown out?

I'm sure that most West Ham die hards want to see the back of Terry Br**n
I certainly do!

I feel that something needs to be done in numbers to get rid of him once and for all.

We could ALL buy 'BROWN OUT' T-shirts, but that would cost us money and we would look like idiots walking around the local high-street.

I believe that something that all West Ham fans can relate to wherever you are in the world needs to be established.

A bit like a religious symbol such as the Christian fish - you see one on somebody's car, you know they are a christian. Importantly the method is subtle but the message is clearly put across.

What I think should be done is every West Ham fan (and their relatives!) should tie an ordinary piece of white string around their right wrist.
This way, you can walk down the high street and have that on show. Any fan will then realise exactly what it is for, and if there's enough of you, a small chorus of 'We want Brown out' may be heard echoing around the streets!

Thats all it needs to be. That way all West Ham fans are passively demonsrating against his position as chairman as a unit. As one. And everyone including Mr Brown knows it.

All 30 odd thousand fans could have some tied around their wrist. When we celebrate sucess (hopefully) of the team, that common cause is still there, holding strong.

So, when Terry walks to the local Londis to purchase a soft beverage, he could infact see a fan buying a birthday card who has a piece of string identical to the one discribed above. The fan needn't say anything at all, but both he and Brown know what that string means - THAT WILL HURT!!

So hopefully at the first game of the season I will see a few fans with their string. If I don't, I will be there handing it out incase you forget!!

Best of luck in obtaining you string, and remember the resistance is strong!!!
