Perhaps the FFA should just issue out banners for all clubs "We love the FFA"!

If we boycott, that says more than a banner.

"FFA has today terminated the A-League licence held by Clive Palmer... following material breaches of the club participation agreement," FFA chairman Frank Lowy told a news conference.

"The conscious and deliberate contravention of FFA policies and procedures, deliberate defiance of a directive given by FFA and the repeated public statements made by, or on behalf of, Gold Coast United bring the A-League, FFA and the game of football into disrepute."

Well it got great publicity with the ban that it wouldn’t have got otherwise - 10,000+ shares on FB, thousands more on twitter and it made several news stories. Typical ffa.

By their own standards, the FFA are bringing the game into disrepute. Including the behind the scenes intervention of Cranky Franky in Zurich before the decision to not bring in a normalising committee. Time for them to go!

The Den’s planned tifo for Sunday’s game has been banned by the FFA as being “too political” (it said “STOP THE ROT”) which – to my mind at least – is hardly political.The WSW were apparently fined recently for the RBBs tifo which was seen as bring critical of the current impasse (remember seeing it but it wasn’t that controversial or memorable).Why do the ffa have to approve free speech?

Another great decision by the FFA. Banning free speech. Ruining the game one game at a time.

How long do we have to wait until the advising committee actually make some decisions?

Probably a good thing it was banned then. 

I think the time for action from fans has come. Let the FFA know that we've had enough of their ineptitude, nepotism and selfishness. I'd support some sort of league-wide protest, perhaps a "boycott round" to go along with "Star Wars round" and "Spanish round".

There was a boycott 2 years ago regarding fans getting banned without due process...

FFA will just pay some lip service and ignore it all.

Also, bump to keep this thread active.

One thing that would be most effective is to not show up at all. Hit them in their pockets. Cancel your membership. These people want to target the fans but the fans have the true power.
