You can say it as many times as you want but it's still a moronic idea.
Fans planning Old Trafford walkout
- Thread starter BluesJr
- Start date
I endorse this song
Each to their own I guess.
I endorse this. The expression of anger needs to be extreme to ensure that the voice is heard.
Also good on the match going fans to stage a walkout. While as an internet fan I cannot do much, I'll certainly stop tuning into the local streaming service in my country, cancel my plans to watch the Bournemouth game live at OT and not buy any merchandise, not gift it to anyone.
If i put my tin foil hat, who started this whole 58th minute walkout, they knew there would be backlash and groups would split about it.
As I said to yer man above, each to their own.
About fecking time. 7 years of incompetency and bad decisions has finally taken their toll.
Seeing Liverpool winning the league, and having a legend like Ole in charge instead of an easy-to-blame manager like Jose Mourinho has made Ed Woodward look more vulnerable to fan backlash.

You are too precious to cover that same cost for us.
God this is so wrong on a lot of levels
feck Woodward, obviously I'd rather they don't sing that about the prick, but I can understand the anger and frustration. I hope this walkout gathers strength and we see a significant number do it. We as fans have to do something these pricks obviously don't give a feck about the club.
The fans should just turn up in black to signify the death of the club. And at a certain point in the match, stand up and turn their backs. Why pay good money just to walk out.
Is it? He has paid money and has every right not to walk out. To be honest with you, if we are playing well that game, I don't think this protest will be successful.
Chances are we won’t so everyone will be good to go.
I’ve started wearing the green and gold scarf again and yes my voice will be heard.
I’m not saying I’m happy with the goings on but try explaining it to 2 kids under 11 who absolutely love going there (I only bring them twice a season ) that we’re leaving 10mins into the 2nd half. Sorry but it’s not happening , I’ll chant and I’ll have the green and gold scarf on but walking out - not a chance.
Of course it's his right. I just feel it's a bit sad that nowadays nobody stands up for anything anymore if it costs bit of money. And to be honest watching that shower of shit we present every weekend is a waste of money anyway. I salute everyone going to the matches and doing this to themselves. But walking out early once to make a mark shouldn't be a question of money.
Hence the walkout should be in the 30th minute (plus it means people will reference Liverpool's 30 year wait
)Not read through all the posts but what an absolute disgrace to try and organise a mass walkout on 58th minute when we will be remembering the boys that lost their lives. I personally will be singing STAND UP FOR THE BUSBY BABES!!
Most of the posters on here who are supporting a walk out dont attend games, some probably never have, yet they are the most vociferous on what paying fans should and shouldn’t do...
i gave up my season ticket a few years ago as my job was preventing me getting to games. I still try and get to as many games a i can and take my son. Its bloody expensive. I dont blame any Dad taking his kids for ignoring this and good look explaining it.

totally agree with you, makes my blood boil!!
i will be backing this and taking part, just hope many others do too
You walk out because the football isn't worth turning up for. Doesn't need much explaining.
Wouldnt do much to Glazers. Still a packed stadium for em!
You can't judge anyone for deciding not to take part in this. The tickets are usually bought 4 months before the new season starts and for most incomes, they're a lot of money. If I'd promised to take a child, for example, I wouldn't plan to leave the game early.
I won't be at the game as my personal protest this season has been to sell my tickets and recoup as much as possible but credit to those who are biting the bullet and walking out.

Finally, all we need is a walkout from the stretford end and the rest will follow. I would have preferred a boycott of the first 10 mins then go in and support the lads on the pitch. I remember a silent protest at a Stockholm derby where the whole crowd (home and away) was silent for a few minutes at Kick off. Very powerful message.
Surely 78th minute (1878) would be a better time to walk out
Or the 5th minute (2005) - now THAT would send a message!
Not sure if it’s mentioned, but surely it makes more sense to arrive 10-15 mins late and then go in singing anti Glazer songs and support the team for the rest of the match. Or have the first 15 minutes in silence or something.
There are a lot of ways to protest. Chanting, singing, posters, banners, social media discontent etc. I feel like the one's who will be most negatively impacted from a mass walkout will be the players, no? What does that achieve then?
A young squad, and we're going to completely demoralise them. The players aren't good enough, but is that their fault? What are they gonna do, resign from the club and stop trying? It's a failure of the club that we have such a poor team, but making the situation worse doesn't help anything.
Go to the game, support the team, like we always do through good times and bad, stay at half time chating about the Glazers, after the match even, but for that 90 mins we should just try and support our the lads, they need it now more than ever. Walking out is just going to make a situation worse, and to be honest, this is the kind of thing I would expect from the toxic Arsenal fanbase, not Manchester United.

Tbf to you that's not a bad shout about the Europa League game . I had already planned on not going to that game anyhow but that's a good idea .
United we stand,divided we fall.
Not going to a game forced the hand of the Arsenal board, in the end that is.
I think it’s a great shout

There is a bigger objective for this and it is not the fragile mentality of our players, young players or not.
Anyone who doesn't agree with the 58th minute then just leave a couple of minutes later then. That's what I would do.
So, the people who endorse the idea that the Glazers should stop using the club as a source of profit (willingly renounce their profit for the sake of the club and its future), are at the same time upset when someone asks them to do the same, (in a much smaller scale - lose the £35 they paid for the ticket). Seems fair and not at all hypocritical
We want rid of the board and owners though
Yes.
Disregarding the multiple other issues with opting for the 58th minute, it's tactically unsound: it will inevitably lead to less people actually walking out (many who might otherwise have considered it won't, because they find it tasteless and disrespectful).
Hopefully someone with a working brain that organizes this will realize that its beyond tacky to use the clubs darkest moment to protests club ownership and lack of transfers. The two should never be mentioned in the same breath.
