Fans planning Old Trafford walkout

[BluesJr]

Seen some tweets on this earlier but now seems a bit more concrete.

About time. The fan base as a whole I think has been far too passive for too long.

good.

 

[SER19]

This will draw criticism from many and may be ineffectual but I am all for it on the basis of purely trying something

 

[Based Adnan]

The more people that take part the better.

 

[Godfather]

Very very good

 

[Red Dreams]

great advert for the sponsors.

 

[groovyalbert]

Great idea - next home game is the late Saturday kick off v Wolves, so it will also be televised.

 

[Samid]

Beautiful.

Why though? This is fans exhibiting their frustration against the ineffective management of the team.

I'm sure there's bound to be a muppet or two out there who will turn this into a 'disrespect for Man Utd' but is it really? The owners are disrespecting the club and the fans it's not the other way around

I say go for it

 

[McGrathsipan]

great advert for the sponsors.

Thats the whole point isnt it. If the sponsors start getting itchy the Glazers won't be long acting.

And by the way any publicity is good publicity.

 

[USREDEVIL]

Do it.

 

[dwd]

Why the 58th minute? Hope it isn’t a reference to Munich.

 

[Pav1878]

Brilliant. The only way to get the message across.

Cue, a few fans telling us it's silly and won't work and ed and the glazers aren't to blame.

 

[FootyGirl88]

It is.

 

[TrueRed79]

This needs to happen so bad. Massive statement from the fans to the owners.

 

[RedCurry]

Good for these fans who are at least trying to do something. There's a massive power in numbers. I wish every single united fan out there would support this group.

 

[dove]

It will probably be 0-2 anyway so they won't miss much.

 

[ColvaleGoa]

It will probably be 0-2 anyway so they won't miss much.

You are missing the point..

Fans might walk out anyway if theres a repeat of the other nights performance.

 

[MUFAN79]

Great.

 

[Bebestation]

are they going to be watching?

 

[Pexbo]

I fully support them but there is absolutely no grace in using the 58th minute for this.

 

[Utd7]

Hope this is true but I’m skeptical

 

[Dick Dastardly]

The Glazers see/treat MUFC as a cash cow. If you were making that much money out of the club you would be a happy thing. The only way to jolt them out of their comfy place is to hit them financially. I’m not sure they ever watch the games so probably won’t even notice a walkout.

 

[klayton88]

I bet about 12 people walk out.

 

[Yakuza_devils]

The match going fans have my upmost respect! They are in the position to protest and force the owner to make changes.

MUFC supporter clubs worldwide should also join in the protest.

 

[Shane88]

12 people will walk out and they'll probably be laughed at.

Edit: @klayton88 Spooky.

 

[Heinzesight]

Good. Nobody buy anything either.

 

[fergiesarmy1]

I’m amazed most make it till half time

 

[dwd]

It is.

That doesn’t sit right with me then.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Doing it in the 58th minute makes it gimmicky as feck and incredibly tasteless. But it doesn't matter because nobody will walk out and then some shitty plane will fly over with a green and yellow banner that says "bin dippers r konts" and we'll still be here in April waiting because Ole isn't getting sacked until the summer.

Oh, and Ed will continue to surgically remove slices of his chin to add to his growing forehead and remain our Overlord.

 

[JPRouve]

Hopefully it will be properly organized and followed otherwise it could backfire. And no 58th minute nonsense please, show some respect.

 

[Utdstar01]

Edit: @klayton88 Spooky.

Those who laugh are complete cnuts themselves.

 

[KrasHammerhand]

Based on the timing of the walkout it may just be judge as people leaving due to another lopsided score at that point. They will probably be down 2-0.

 

[HJ12]

What happens if we're winning 5-0 by the 58th minute?

 

[BluesJr]

What happens if we're winning 5-0 by the 58th minute?

It would be even more effective.

 

[joedirt87]

why not walk out, in like the 10th minute. or just not show up.

 

[Infestissumam]

I'm all for this, but doing it in the 58th minute is wrong on so many levels.

 

[fergiesarmy1]

The minute is symbolic, I guess a lot of people won’t fancy making the effort of getting there paying their money then having 10 minutes of football.
