Agree with that - getting fans on the forecort by 7pm was the way to go, Tollgate doesnt work for everyoneLeaves the Tollgate at 7pm
30 mins to late IMO, I know plenty are heading to the ground a bit earlier.
Joel hasnt been in Manchester for years - it was Avram who was at Brighton matchI’m assuming that Joel has gone back to Florida and won’t be attending this one.
Good man.I will be there tonight, don’t have a ticket (don’t even want one after going to the same fixture last season) but looking forward to getting involved and having a few cans and a sing. I couldnt give a toss about the game- it doesn’t even feel like a match day.
Only problem with forecourt from 7pm means it almost definetly boots off with Liverpool fans getting into the away end.Agree with that - getting fans on the forecort by 7pm was the way to go, Tollgate doesnt work for everyone
Timing and route of the march for Brighton was also poorly thought out so numbers were relatively low from what I saw
Not a big fan of The1958 but you dont need to agree with everything they say to get involved - gets some prematch atmosphere
YesThat's from the last time, right?
Got excited for a second!
Amazing support!

I’m sure there will beGot excited for a second!
Do you know if there's anything planned for team hotels today?
Ah my bad - same rhetorical question for Avram then.Agree with that - getting fans on the forecort by 7pm was the way to go, Tollgate doesnt work for everyone

If there was I wouldn't be posting it on here.Got excited for a second!

Well done mate. good for you and all of Utd fans hopefully.

Wouldn't put it past the Glazers causing one on purposeI'll be joining in... Does help that I park by the Tollgate and as luck would have it will probably arrive at 7pm
Unless someone crashes on the M62 or something, which lets be honest, has a decent chance of happening.

Have a peaceful and safe protest my friendsI'll be joining in... Does help that I park by the Tollgate and as luck would have it will probably arrive at 7pm

I thought ETH had stopped using hotels as much for home games anyway. We will probably parachute the squad in one by one.Tweet

A fairly insulting slur to be honest. I want the Glazers gone. The protest as outlined in the tweet by the 58 group has potential to be embarrassing. If the protest doesn’t result in a postponement, it’s a waste of time.Looks like the Glazer shills continue to worm their way through into the conversation
So let me get this right, it will be embarrassing (ugh that word again) if it doesnt get the game postponed?A fairly insulting slur to be honest. I want the Glazers gone.

I'd distance myself from the word embarrassing that the other poster used, but if the protest is to have any impact then I think postponement might be required. This could attract 10,000 people singing songs and protesting peacefully and that might not get more than a passing reference on the news - something more is needed to move the needle here.So let me get this right, it will be embarrassing (ugh that word again) if it doesnt get the game postponed?
That bold part made me laugh. I am torn on this, I want change but I also don't want anyone to get hurt or for it to go too far (and I am not sure how change happens unless it's something big).I'd distance myself from the word embarrassing that the other poster used, but if the protest is to have any impact then I think postponement might be required.

I'm not advocating Woodstock 99, but this needs to be newsworthy internationally - and blockading a team bus to force a postponement is about the most peaceful way I can think of achieving that.
Wasn't this what happened after the ESL and was one of the reasons it got shit canned?I'd distance myself from the word embarrassing that the other poster used, but if the protest is to have any impact then I think postponement might be required.

Its already on the news and it hasnt even started yet !I'd distance myself from the word embarrassing that the other poster used, but if the protest is to have any impact then I think postponement might be required.

Starting to get a bit on the fence myself. I don't want to get caught up in a crowd where it starts kicking off.Getting the game cancelled will have a negative impact.
The press will have a field day and the purpose of the protests will be undermined and ignored by the game being stopped.
I do have a niggling feeling that some will ruin this and start vandalising or fighting. I'm on the fence about turning up tonight because there are already mummerings that there may be groups looking to cause trouble.
I absolutely disagree. There needs to be a significant and noteable effect in order to rock the Glazers boat. They won't care if there's only a protest, as it wont affect them at all, it's only when/if we can affect their revenuestreams and proper media-coverage on the cause they will be affected. Same goes for the press, it will barely be sidenote for the protests if there's no consequences of them.Getting the game cancelled will have a negative impact.

Starting with things like that might lead to violence in no time. Then again 10.000 people in one place could easily lead to that even without blocking the bus.I'd distance myself from the word embarrassing that the other poster used, but if the protest is to have any impact then I think postponement might be required.

Protests will always attract dickheads that only want to cause trouble.Starting to get a bit on the fence myself. I don't want to get caught up in a crowd where it starts kicking off.
Worked a treat last time didn't it...I absolutely disagree. There needs to be a significant and noteable effect in order to rock the Glazers boat.

Agreed.@Rood @Real Name
The protest is already being covered on the news, but that's only in anticipation of something big and in view of what happened with the ESL protest. If this doesn't now match expectations or hype, then it will be reported as a damp squib and the Glazers will even see it as a win.
The coverage in advance is good, but only if the fans live up to the billing. A march and songs isn't going to do that, not from an international news perspective anyway.
Again, I want this to be peaceful, so a blockade is about as good as it gets in my mind. That would set the context for news coverage of the march.
