I lived in Manchester for years, I’ve been to countless games. Don’t start top redding me. I’m also not a fecking idiot who doesn’t realise there’s no magical way out of this. There’s no superman owner on the horizon. Fans made their voices heard last time and I have no problem with continued protests outside the ground to keep it that way, but getting games cancelled, calling for the club to lose points, disrupting the our players, that goes against the very essence of support and frankly is more damaging than the glaziers anyway.
Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
Maybe they just don’t want any trouble with the Police? Doubt there’s anywhere they could go other than the stadium to be honest
Never a bad time for a moral lesson from the caped crusader.Well played
Not in the clique.
They'd have to work first before claiming overtime
Where there's a mob there will always be some sort of collateral damage
Cracking effort from all involved again. More headlines.

The game will go ahead. Everyone up in arms assuming it's not for little reason.Fans wanting to watch their team play a game of football, absolute shocker
The club where stupidly underpreared for the first protest.
Most of the Manchester Police force are their tonight.
I don't want the game to be called off but if it was it wouldn't worry me that much. I'm more concerned about our long term future under the leeches we call owners.
Clearly many people on here don’t too as they are expecting the perfect owners to step out the woodwork any second now...
You certainly don't post like someone who affiliates with what the protestors are trying to do. There is a strong sense of realism among a lot of them, rather than just blindly asking to sell to anyone. The general ask is to have better representation, better investment as a bare minimum, better transparency. Even if Glazers stay at the helm, wholesale infrastructure changes are required and better representation is demanded along with more investment. Games getting postponed means feck all in the bigger context, and the club won't lose points for reasons I've already given.
Yes, the fans are right about the owners but are they right about the club needing all that money? Do we really not have enough to do what we need even at the highest level?
They went off to where the away coaches normally come in.
They've all headed off now as they know Liverpool are already inside.
A few absolute cry babies in this thread. Complaining about people who actually bothered turning up and continuing the protest. Well done to the protesters. Keep it up guys!
Seconded.

We don't have the right people running the club, they don't care enough to hire the right people.
Almost Every aspect of Football club ownership they are bad at. This is not simply about money.
we can't go five minutes without someone having a meltdown on here these days
Fair fecks to everyone out there making their voice heard again. Anyone complaining can do one

Point made
You want to close a 75k stadium because 10 blokes decided to slash the wheels of a decoy bus?
Spot on. A peaceful protest and people are judging them.
Have you not watched the previous 8 seasons and running of the club?
For anyone upset by the protests, the director of communications was just on SkySports, and was grilled on when the communication will improve, like Joel Glazer said.
His answer was pretty much "he will be there at the fan forum, and after that we will need to see".
So quite evidently, there is feck all plan to actually improve on communication to fans.

Probably realised they need to get home to actually watch the game.
That’s all well and good but then the second the glaziers try and put out an olive branch those very same protesters couldn’t care less and would still rather burn the whole place to the ground. Look I’m not a fan of our ownership and I never will be, but you only have to look around the other clubs in this league to see it can be far far worse and I’m not naive enough to think there will be some magical solution. The best we can hope for is some government intervention but id have to see that to believe it.
It wasn't even true. That bus was moving within two minutes.
Yes, apparently.
Gone back to the forecourt after failing to stop the Liverpool coach arriving, according to Sky.
Glazer stooge.
They didn't even do that. The bus drove off once the police cleared the road.
And then the time to continue protesting is if that doesn’t happen surely. So now we are protesting things that may or may not happen?
he spoke so much shite
Your naïve if you are choosing to believe a word of that note.
Actions are needed not words.
If not then they should rightfully piss off.
I guarantee you the whole point of the letter was false promises to try calm the storm.
Yes, because the Glazers have always been shit with communication, they've always given empty promises and they can feck off until they show action. Just now the Director of Communication, Charlie Brook, was asked WHEN the communication will improve. Easy question to demonstrate the framework to improve the representation of fans in the decision making of the club.
His answer was a pile of wank, so yes, they will quite rightly continue protesting regardless of what the Glazers say.
Also I think the Glazers are worse owners than what City have, Chelsea have, even what Spurs have. Heck, you can argue its worse than Fenway on top. They had a decade of no footballing personnel in a technical director role for fecksake. Our roof is broken, our womens set up was far too late and it's clearly not adequate. Our academy was far from adequate for a long while. You can't get much worse ownership than that at top level.
Good these fans are doing it the right way!
