Fantastic stuff! Be good if they got the match postponed in terms of coverage. Although, also, daft timing given the social media blackout.
What coverage do we need? We were splashed over the back pages when a dozen fans went to speak to Ole!
Man Utd fans doesnt need exposure. Its a bit excessive and gives certain outlets a reason to defend against the protests itself.

Disgraceful. They should be spending their time sending strongly worded letters the people at the front office can immediately put in the shredder or signing online petitions. That's how you get results.

Glazers so tight they won’t even stump up for proper security

I don't condone breaking anything but when the fans made it into the stadium, NBC sports here in the states moved to a split screen from the Arsenal game to Old Trafford and just spent the last 10 minutes covering the protest so it did add to the coverage. Glad they didn't do much damage.

Ditto. Certainly would be in line with Priti Patel's favoured type of 'protesters'.

Exactly. As long as it is peaceful then keep going lads.

no chance the match goes ahead, clear the protesters and then securtiy sweep the stadium afterwards, take a few hours to do that.
Booked the day off for the game as well.

Think they’ve gone too early in terms of getting the match called off, should have gone nearer kick off. Police will have cleared it out with their batons by then.

To be fair, it is Newcastle v Arsenal...

Love this! Didn't know it was happening otherwise I'd have joined!

Wouldn't have gone into the stadium, but respect those who do for taking risks to support the cause. (Too afraid of being photographed and losing my job)

Mixed feelings on this. There’s protesting and then being a twat. Imagine if we get docked points and have to forfeit today’s match.

Too much protesting nowadays is about those protesting seeking attention and two minutes of social media fame.

Funny how they still took time to shout "You scouse bastard" in the middle of protest.
