What are the objectives / outcomes hoped for of protesting?

The Chairman (and majority shareholder) will remain so until he sells the club.

If the club isn’t self funding and he chooses to not ‘bail it out’ of accrued debts, then it will eventually go in to administration.

Voluntary liquidation is another potential ‘outcome’.

The following clubs were liquidated:

Bury FC.
Rushden & Diamonds FC.
Chester City FC.
Macclesfield Town FC.
Aldershot FC.
Maidstone United.

Criminal law and protests on private land or property:

PART ONE: Protest on private land – a guide to criminal law

From the article below:

“ These rights also only apply to public spaces. Therefore, anyone protesting on private property without the permission of the occupier are likely to be viewed as a trespasser.”

If you commit aggravated trespass then you can be arrested:

“Aggravated trespass is a criminal offence, so you can be arrested for it. You must be doing two things to commit aggravated trespass: Trespassing. Intentionally obstructing, disrupting, or intimidating others from carrying out ‘lawful activities’.”
