We all remember the consistent protests from Newcastle fans over the last number of seasons.
Their ire was mostly aimed at the controversial owner, Mike Ashley, but Alan Pardew and other managers such as Joe Kinnear before him (Jesus, remember that?!) also received a frosty reception.
However, protests such as these are not just confined to English football's highest tier.
It also takes place in the lower divisions.
The latest, and perhaps oddest, example of this came in the League 1 clash between Coventry City and Charlton Atheltic.
Both former Premier League sides, the two teams have had a dramatic fall from grace since their days in England's top flight.
They now find themselves languishing in the bottom of League 1, with Coventry rock bottom of the pile.
Both sets of fans have conducted a joint demonstration today against their respective club owners.
This protest, however, is a little bit different, in the fact that it involved throwing plastic pigs onto the playing surface.
Check it out below.

Kick off was delayed for about seven or eight minutes before the pitch was cleared and the referee started the game....
...only for the same thing to happen again with the pigs making another appearance onto the pitch.
According to the Coventry Telegraph, a protest like this actually occurred earlier in the season at The Valley between the same sets of fans.
