Whether another flyer protest is the right step, I&#8217;m not entirely sure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have some very good ideas, the problem is that it costs money which we don\u2019t like to keep asking the fans for. However I&#8217;ve received loads of messages from fans asking for another GoFundme to be set up to donate to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday&#8217;s match marked their second protest, following on from tennis balls being thrown onto the pitch during Wednesday&#8217;s 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough in 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Wiltshire said: \u201cSome people are calling for some more radical action. We\u2019ve listened to what our fans have said about not wanting games disrupted so we don\u2019t massively want to interfere with them again but never say never.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If relegation gets confirmed early we may look to something a little bit more disruptive but we have to be mindful to not damage the good will that we share with the fans at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-1-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-1-1-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-1-1-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;The fans fault?
