Yep, only way of hurting them is to not renew in the first place but I doubt that would matter as there's always someone waiting to snap it up.
Fans planning Old Trafford walkout
- Thread starter BluesJr
- Start date
It has to be the most spectacular walk out of all times
Walkouts arent pathetic, Liverpool fans done it after owners tried to rise ticket prices or what ever reason it was, they backed off after. My memory might be off a bit.
I agree with you, for the time being Woodward is going nowhere.
The only thing in my opinion that will get him out is public pressure leading to sponsors & Glazers taking notice.
The only thing Ed and the Glazers really care about is the profit margin.
Our club is going nowhere with them in charge.
Think Ole will give Jesse Lingard one last chance against Wolves on Saturday to get his shit together, and only bring Bruno Fernandes on later in the game, not sure him coming on to a ½ empty stadium is gonna do him, or the team any favours.
I was fully for this and I still want it to happen but for the sake of Bruno it’s maybe better to save it for a later date. Particularly if he starts and plays well.
its awkward with the way the week has turned out, but it is live on sky, so the perfect platform to do it
Did you any of you guys get the MUST survey on this?
Nah mate. This is for the good of the club. To not do it cause of a transfer would be shallow.
It’s not a great look for Bruno. Do it at the next game.
If they actually go through with it then perhaps a thunderous applause at 58mins then the walkout at 59. Having said that I don't agree with the walk out.
Yes
So they are proposing 68th min rather than 58th which makes more sense
I won't be there anyway but TBH don't think I would do either as I'm not into the whole idea but no issue with those who feel it's worthwhile
That's correct.
Yes, 68 mins is a sensible compromise. And get to see more of the game
its that simple.
To those weighing in with criticism about form or sensibility on the part of Bruno: I see where you're coming from. And yet, what will put pressure on the money men and the glory seekers (Glazers, Woodward, Board) is visible numbers. Sponsors sees that. I'm quite sure the Burnley footage was discussed in the boardroom with more sinceriry than the result or the play, or even the weather. If similar happens one more time, several times, it will not be an idle threat. To them, United is a brand, and a threat to the brand is a threat to their stakes.
Even though I'm actually for trusting Ole for a couple more years and love seeing the kids and the type of players we're turning towards, I'll gladly don Green and Gold next to guys who want Ole out and Williams and Rashford replaced with Dybala and Diego Costa, because we have a common main cause. I'll don rrd and white too, if that were the colours of choice for most. Right now it symbols Unitedness in a cause - taking ownership back of the club, and that's the main flag to plant now. I'm sure Bruno will agree in a few years time.
And to those using their two pence to peddle hopelessness: 'It's no use' etc ... if you want to sabotage change, that's the best way to do it. Defeatism is the biggest undermining power, though not the most honest. If you are at all sympathetic to the most general point of the endeavor, please keep it to yourself for a while. See what happens.

That's absurd. The stock price is at $18.99 today. In a month it could be down to $15 or back up to $20. It's absurd to make CEO decisions on the vagaries of stock price fluctuations. This discussion is above Mark Ogden's pay grade.
This thread...
It sums up why the Glazers were able to take control in 2005, why the protests in 2010 failed and why we’re stuck with them for the foreseeable.
No match going fans are willing to get involved in the organisation, the singing section will bottle it under the guise of “getting behind the team...”
Fair play to the Scousers, Spirit of Shankly are horrible Munich singing tw**s but they know how to protest and get stuff done in their own ground.
Anyway, it’s still all ultimately pointless when everyone renews in May/June and you give them another £800

It's bigger than Bruno. Besides, he knows the state of the club he's joined anyway.
Yes I got it and filled it out, making them fully aware that I won’t be walking out! I’m in the TRA Section again, hopefully everyone in there will be there backing the lads on the pitch to the end!!
Fully support anyone who is walking out. I see it has been changed to the 68th minute which is the right decision as this cannot be linked in any manner to the Munich tragic events. Good on the fans for arranging this, hope we see a lot of empty seats. It might only be a small act, but hopefully the start of a major campaign to either get rid of the Glazers and Woodward, or get them to change their ways.
Arsenal fans did it as well during the last season of Wenger, actually they also stopped attending games under Wenger as well, which I assume will be the next step for Utd fans. We are going backwards under the regime of Woodward and the Glazers. The longer we allow it to continue, the further we will fall behind.
68th minute? that's bollocks by the way. One more, just one more. 69 and it would be perfect, why miss out on something very important on days like these.
Exactly, there is no point fans who are on social media and here creating noise when the season tickets are sold out in no time.
The club narrative is "small section of fans", this is because they are selling out in no time.
Didn't the season ticket sales hit a bit of a rocky patch last time? I seem to recall posters claiming they were getting email prompts encouraging them to renew quickly, which hadn't happened before? Maybe I'm wrong. Plenty of empty seats this season lately though. Could get worse.
I thought it was sold out pretty quick.
The empty seats are probably matchday tickets rather than season tickets tbh.
Hopefully they struggle this season to get people renewing.
Bruno not even kicked the ball once in the united jersey and it is more important under which atmosphere he makes his first game than what has been going wrong for so many years?
I can understand the argument not to do it on the matchday that is closest to the 6th of February. Nothing else.

This just sums up the problem. Fans can't unite for the fight against Glazers.
United are 1-0 behind and they some fresh ideas. There is the change in the 68min the new record january signing Bruno Fernandes is coming on for Jesse Lingard...
And then everybody is walking out.
Would be quite strange but of course he will know he's not the target. I mean now it has already started, so everybody who can/wants should do it.
2000 or so fans walked out 15 years ago when the problem was first evident, and must also had some protests at the time and since. the ball should have taken momentum but got snagged on" look the other way and hope it goes away" so now the club is heading the way Leeds did years ago (maybe) . is it too late? the glazers could have paid off the loan but should have never been allowed to take over a club using it as a mortgage.
It's not about the match either. For the sake of 32 minutes of what might or might not happen in an isolated match, the media attention and scrutiny towards the brand which Glazers rely on is worth it.
Ole should sub Fernandes on at the 58th minute
Mate, don't joke - I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this is the plan! Ole is obviously talking to the board about this walkout and the anti-board/Woodward chants, hence him trying to tone the fans down etc.
Walkouts aren't pointless and they sure as hell aren't pathetic. It's a statement of dissatisfaction, and the statement will ring loud and clear across the world.
Whoever is planning to participate, i strongly urge you to go through with it. I sure as hell would've done it
Bruno signing shouldn't take away from the fact that the Glazers and Woodward have mismanaged the shit out of this club, and show no signs of remorse or change whatsoever.

Hopefully the fans follow through on this and dont forget about it just because we signed Fernandes, it doesnt change how poorly run this club is, for a start what the hell did the club think was going to happen going into a season with barely 2 strikers in the squad, how has it come to the point that we are scrambling around on deadline day in January scrapping the the bottom of the bin for a penny pinching deal.
It would serve 'em right if they did.
I only got the MUST email this morning planned protest is 68th minute. If Fernandes is left in reserve until the second half I can’t see the walkout going too well. I’ll be at the game, will be interesting to see what happens.
Share price is gone up I see since the signing or maybe it was the fireworks????

My daughter wanted pizza for dinner. I'd already made lasagne and said no.
She stormed out of the kitchen and slammed her bedroom door in a statement of dissatisfaction.
I ordered pizza because I'm pathetic.
What % of fans are going to walk out? I'm predicting 25% or less.
The balaclava incident plus a couple of signings will have had an impact.

So...is this still on? Just seeking confirmation.
