Such a TorySupport the protest but I'm sure people will ignore safety guidelines.

Apparently there are a few that are being organised, I have seen this one and another starting in St.Peters Square in Manchester are protesting through town all the way to Old Trafford. Should be an interesting day in the City.I saw this on Reddit but I’m not sure it’s legitimate:
One need to be properly organised. I got in touch with MUST on Twitter but no response.
Has anyone seen or heard about anything?
You wouldn’t mind PMing me a link to where you saw that?Apparently there are a few that are being organised, I have seen this one and another starting in St.Peters Square in Manchester are protesting through town all the way to Old Trafford. Should be an interesting day in the City.
Ah looks like they've merged with the one in the post, from what I seen on Twitter yesterday the plan was to start at St.Peter's Square but looks like its outside the stadium direct.You wouldn’t mind PMing me a link to where you saw that?
Bit hard when fans haven't been allowed in the stadium for over a year nowIt's not enough in my opinion. They need to be extremely vocal on PL matchdays during the games themselves.
And if the ESL took off, they should collectively not turn up to matchdays.
Yeah so my point is, I don't think it'll really show traction until fans are allowed back in the stadium, because that's when the players and managers will really feel it.Bit hard when fans haven't been allowed in the stadium for over a year now
Agreed. They've been dead quiet of late...It's not enough in my opinion. They need to be extremely vocal on PL matchdays during the games themselves.

YepAgreed. They've been dead quiet of late...
Jokes aside - I do agree with you. Protests don't do shit. You have to disrupt the usual spectacle and ruin the brand image.
What difference does it make if the players or fans bold really feel it? They’ve been completely ignored in this themselves. They know we don’t want it.Yeah so my point is, I don't think it'll really show traction until fans are allowed back in the stadium, because that's when the players and managers will really feel it.
The best way to break the ESL is from the inside, and pressure begins from the big name players who are valued commodities to the owners.
It makes a huge difference if players protest compared to domestic fans.What difference does it make if the players or fans bold really feel it? They’ve been completely ignored in this themselves. They know we don’t want it.
At this stage, we just need to be seen. I’m not saying it’ll cancel it but having a physical presence rather than just whinging on Twitter, which they definitely won’t care about, won’t do anything. We can’t just do nothing as fans.
Yes it does, but you’re making out as if the players and staff need convincing by match going fans. They’re clearly as against it as we are and they’ve clearly been left out the loop too.It makes a huge difference if players protest compared to domestic fans.
From my understanding, and the reasoning of the ESL itself, they favour modern fans who follow players or multiple clubs. Not legacy fans who are season ticket holders.
So season ticket holders complaining is a fraction of an impact compared to players protesting. The players are the commodity of value to these owners, not the fans.
They need to outright protest to make a tangible impact.Yes it does, but you’re making out as if the players and staff need convincing by match going fans. They’re clearly as against it as we are and they’ve clearly been left out the loop too.
That can’t be true - players don’t have enough fans that loyal to follow them across clubs. The reasoning behind the ESL is to earn more cash than what the CL can offer. To them it’s a harmless proposal.
We’ll see. It sounds like Utd and Liverpool are the two spear heading this in England. Liverpool spoke out now we need to, and need to perhaps take action as well.They need to outright protest to make a tangible impact.
Being upset about it but going along with it won't be near enough to stop this. I don't think players are there yet in terms of a full blown stance. It's been quite muted, only a small handful have broken a silence, which speaks volumes.
F*ck the guidelines! This is an attack on the fabric of our society and our way of life!!!!Support the protest but I'm sure people will ignore safety guidelines.
I mean, so’s the pandemic. That isn’t what this is about, obviously respect guidelines whilst protestingF*ck the guidelines! This is an attack on the fabric of our society and our way of life!!!!
both sets of fans would be perfect, huge statement thatSaturday seems a bit pointless I would be looking at the liverpool game at OT to be a good chance to make a statement/protest get both sets of supporters on side and get a blockade on the go, dont let the game go ahead.
There’s a chance they decide to go on strike anyway without any blockades but it would be a serious message if Utd and Liverpool were able to collaborate on flushing these scumbags for once and for all. If ESL doesn’t go ahead I don’t think our guys have a leg left to stand on and they will be as vulnerable as they will ever be.Saturday seems a bit pointless I would be looking at the liverpool game at OT to be a good chance to make a statement/protest get both sets of supporters on side and get a blockade on the go, dont let the game go ahead.
So would I. Lets hope thousands turn up.I hope there is, and I would go if I lived closer.
Nah, this is dead wrong. Right now it's all about momentum and keeping up the pressure in the media. This is a fantastic way of doing that. We can't wait until fans are back in the stadiums ffs, that's months away. We need action right now.Yeah so my point is, I don't think it'll really show traction until fans are allowed back in the stadium, because that's when the players and managers will really feel it.
I didn't say do feck all until then. I'm saying you'll see real traction when the reaction is vocal in stadiums.Nah, this is dead wrong.

.Waiting to hear the same objections as we did for BLM and Violence against Women protests.
But that is months away. These lot are waiting for the mass outrage and media frenzy to die down a bit before pressing ahead with their plans. What do you propose people do right now, then?I didn't say do feck all until then. I'm saying you'll see real traction when the reaction is vocal in stadiums.
That is precisely what they counted on when they announced this with empty stadiums. Lets not fall into their plans.I didn't say do feck all until then. I'm saying you'll see real traction when the reaction is vocal in stadiums.
