Protest at Old Trafford

[VP89]

But that is months away. These lot are waiting for the mass outrage and media frenzy to die down a bit before pressing ahead with their plans. What do you propose people do right now, then?

I propose protesting and lobbying to the people that have the power, so the closest thing is the government. I also propose bombarding player social media urging them to take a stand.

I don't think anything will really gain traction until fans show their anger in stadiums though. Hope I'm wrong, but lets see.

I don't know why people get in a huff when you tell them to follow safety guidelines, just wear a bloody mask and don't stand too close together

But people can't even do that apparently.

I don't disagree, but did you not go into a city centre on the weekend? Every single square inch of outdoor area in every bar and pub was packed. There were huge queues for Primark with people only donning masks until they got inside.

Fair enough. I'm hoping to see some kind of backtracking within the next week, but that might be me just being optimistic. The earlier the better, though.

Are they gonna burn the wrong kit no one's ever seen like the Liverpool fans?

Yes..... we're going to burn a Liverpool kit also

Yeah people don't do it and haven't done it because they can't be arsed and now lots are vaccinated they don't see the point despite new variants emerging.

It's not really that hard to wear a mask, it's not the pub where you are constantly drinking and eating.

This is a big issue but covid is far bigger.

 

[Tincanalley]

Man am I going to celebrate if the ambitions of this crowd of greedy $$$$$ ends up in the gutter.

The Glazers have never given a shit about what the fans have said in the past, they wouldn't now either.

Indeed, they'll be safely at home in the US and those who work for them will be the ones targeted. Fans can't even boycott games, it's the best time for it all to come out now, as they've nothing to lose.

 

[Matthew84!]

If anyone is seeing the protest outside Chelsea, now that's why Utd supporters should be doing it, perhaps for the next home game?

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Is there an online petition as I can’t physically travel

 

[JJ12]

What does a few hundred people outside the ground achieve? Glazers will be in Tampa or wherever else and won’t give a feck about it.

I genuinely ask (not against it) because I want something to be done but something that will actually hit home.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Why wait till Saturday? Chelsea fans are doing it right now.

 

[Ali Dia]

Why wait till Saturday? Chelsea fans are doing it right now.

they are playing tonight. Nations media already present etc. Nothing wrong with waiting till match day and getting word around so anyone who can go will have notice instead of it being half baked this evening just because Chelsea are also protesting. This is going to rumble on for months

Its just the start hopefully.

No excuse. Put up or shut up.

Seriously, I'm right there with you. If I could I would. I think the only way us distance fans can protest is through social media and sponsor boycotts. Not that it matter.
For what it's worth, the last time there was a mass call for unfollowing all United social media, I did. Including all players, etc. Never re-followed. Did feck all didn't it.

Didnt realise they are playing tonight. My bad.Let's hope we turn up big time on Saturday.

 

[Pow]

Those able fecking go for it. We all support each other now to stop this fecking shit.

 

[Maticmaker]

Can't help feeling this is playing into their hands, the world and is wife have signalled they are not happy, let the football powers that be get on with demolishing the Super League.... if they fail, then protest.

An incensed crowd gathering outside the club will lead to 'tears before bedtime', will give the appearance of a 'rabble' when filmed on TV.

The ultimate protest is to refuse to renew season tickets, stop spending on anything with United in the title and TBH if that doesn't happen, then all the protests in the world won't make a jot of difference.

[Foxbatt]

Good on Chelsea, City and Liverpool fans for protesting. This is beyond loyalties. We all need to stick together.

 

[dave1956]

Better if the protest was outside Carrington.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Chelsea to leave ESL according to Sky Sports News

 

[Gator Nate]

Chelsea to leave ESL according to Sky Sports News

So... 48... 72 hours? Such stamina!

 

[Foxbatt]

United to leave the SL too.i just saw something about it online

 

[Dante]

Well done, lads. We did it! I didn't even need to put my shoes on.

 

[Foxbatt]

Just heard that Shaw and Rashford confronted Woody

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Just heard that Shaw and Rashford confronted Woody

That is one hell of a left sided partnership

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Well done, lads. We did it! I didn't even need to put my shoes on.

feck! Just booked my Virgin trains ticket. Hope I get a refund

 

[Gator Nate]

Sky reporting that City just jumped off the train, too.

 

[Ali Dia]

That is one hell of a left sided partnership

Very nice

 

[charlenefan]

Regardless of whether we pull out of the ESL the protest should go ahead, get the Glazers out!!!

 

[justsomebloke]

The Glazers have never given a shit about what the fans have said in the past, they wouldn't now either.

The point of protesting isn't to persuade the Glazers, it's to show everyone what United fans think about this. That matters.

 

[Dante]

feck! Just booked my Virgin trains ticket. Hope I get a refund

If it's a Virgin Trains ticket, probably not! If it's Avanti, you've still got a chance

 

[Mindhunter]

Just heard that Shaw and Rashford confronted Woody

Left wing politics.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Absolutely, if they were the first to pull out then maybe, but these cnuts are obviously the ones that masterminded this. Get them out.

 

[Harry190]

Yes..... we're going to burn a Liverpool kit also

Hope it's the red one and not the green one.

 

[justsomebloke]

F*ck the guidelines! This is an attack on the fabric of our society and our way of life!!!!

So? Just wear a mask and keep distance. And yell, and bring a good placard.

 

[FootyGirl88]

feck! Just booked my Virgin trains ticket. Hope I get a refund

Its still going ahead

 

[NinjaZombie]

I hope this still goes through. It doesn't and shouldn't stop here. Get the Glazers out.

 

[MUFC OK]

If there’s one thing that today proves it’s that if fans want something to happen, they have to make it happen themselves.

But don’t be fooled, getting this lot out of the club will take a lot more than a single protest. This has to go on and on and on until they’re gone, but it’s a good starting point.
