A League Championship side Leeds United fan group "plans more audacious protest stunts" in its bid to force controversial Owner Massimo Cellino to sell his majority stake in the club, according to Mark Walker of the London INDEPENDENT. Protest group "Time To Go Massimo" beamed a series of 30ft high images on to Elland Road stadium before and during Monday night's goalless draw against Middlesbrough and "claims to have received positive feedback from the majority of fans." The group, backed by funds raised from anti-Cellino fans, now plans a fly-over at a forthcoming home game and "with other ideas also on their agenda" told supporters to "watch this space." "Time To Go Massimo" launched its campaign on Thursday by funding a poster "installed on advertising hoardings outside the East Stand calling for Cellino to go." Leeds took legal action to have the poster removed later on Thursday, "but the group claims it informed police and took legal advice before beaming Monday night's images." Group spokesperson Tom Banks said, "What we do next will most likely be at the home game against Bolton (on March 5). We want to keep up the momentum. ... We have some more ideas, including a fly-over. The pilot is booked and is waiting for a home game when the weather is forecast to be fine." The group claims to have raised over £4,000 ($5,700) from 228 separate donations to help pay for Monday night's stunt, which cost £2,600 ($3,700) (INDEPENDENT, 2/16).
