Proud of them if it went down as appeared, i.e. passionate yet non violent protests to show their rage.
United fans are protesting at Carrington
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
Saturday will be big. You can’t expect more than that amount of people to get into carrington! It’s a start to be seen and heard. Disappointed in MUST for being so idle.
I'll always support your right to light-heartedly take the piss whenever and wherever. If the forum ever shut that down I would be outside the data centre with my bedsheets too, praying for these lads to comment.
Saturday seems to only being backed by a bunch of fan cam youtubers. But crack on regardless ofcourse, every little helps.
Believe the more established fan groups have a far more concerted effort planned for the Liverpool home game.
Yeah that on Saturday isn't a protest, it's a "fan cam" opportunity basically to create content whilst doing feck all. I'd be amazed if any match going red is there.
Yes this is what I have heard also. As this will be a global televised match with both teams having been the victim, it does seem the perfect opportunity.They have to do everything to maximise the publicty of this. If that means stopping the team buses to delay the game, then whatever it takes.
Yeah, hopefully that one has a huge turnout. Only thing I hope for is the fans don't start fighting each other. Emotions will be high, drinks will be had, it could happen.
Also you simply wouldn't get in if too many people knew about it because the club would get tipped off in advance if it was discussed in a public forum or a large group of people knew about it in advance. Something like today has to be kept very small so that it's possible.
This is a start, hopefully momentum will gather from, a small beginning greater things will follow.
Yeah I guess they should have snuck a billboard on a back of a 40 tonne truck.The biggest fan base on the planet and that's the best we can come up with. Totally embarrassing, 2 bed sheets and a couple of spray cans.
Also targeting our players training ground when they have nothing to do with this whole fiasco
Lighten up pal.
For a start we know much much bigger protests than this did feck all back at the time of the takeover, so whilst it’s good, it’s also going to have absolutely zero effect so it’s good to have a giggle.
We need football fans protesting on mass at parliament, because parliament is the only thing that can help us here. We’re talking about a billion dollar business.
Surely we should set aside this type of stuff. So what if it's backed by some lads you have a youtube channel.
Protests are what's needed and if they get the message out to more people then it can only be a good thing. Refusing to attend a protest for a cause you believe in because someone you've no time for is pushing it seems totally ridiculous.
This is where the fans should be going.
I think you'll find it was our owners who decided to drop the biggest bombshell on the football world in the middle of the most crucial time of the season.I think that this is getting a bit much now, this affects the players and it's not the players fault.
This will affect the match at the weekend and if we lose there'll be people moaning that we didn't play well enough, well no sh*t, we didn't train mid week!
What's even better is that they obviously messed up as half the you is in black and the rest is in red!
They don't care and so if you choose to go about this meekly, you enable and encourage these football terrorists/dictators in the making.
Also, this gives players some moral support in opposing this and future moves like this.
It's top reddism like this that's enabled the Glazer rats to divide, conquer and rule this fanbase.
Do you care more about exposure and sending a message or do you want to stay pure in your limited understanding of what it is to be a United fan? Because that's how you become a legacy fan consigned to the dust bin.
No one here loves UEFA, FIFA and Sky but they were useful tools in the fight we just won.
We won't be getting the 50+1 by trying to play holier-than-thou within the fanbase.
Why don’t you organise a less “embarrassing” protest?The biggest fan base on the planet and that's the best we can come up with. Totally embarrassing, 2 bed sheets and a couple of spray cans.

Good to see! More needed.
That one banner is a tad bizarre, though.

Why didn’t you turn up then? Or help arrange something less ‘embarrassing’The biggest fan base on the planet and that's the best we can come up with. Totally embarrassing, 2 bed sheets and a couple of spray cans.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, I'm just saying it how it is. There's a reason that none of the United supporters groups are backing it.
It's good people want to take action - but needs to be targeted in the right direction and at the onwership.
Disrupting training and potentially scaring and intimidated low level employees at Carrington isn't the way to go.

Good on them, hopefully this will continue until the club is sold.
I’d be amazed if everyone who turned up doesn’t go to matches. Not to mention that the 70k who rock up to OT each week will include a very diverse range of views. Including loads of people who have no issue with the Glazers at all.
Good to see - isn't there a bigger one planned for this weekend?
United fans protest to reinstate Ed Woodward as CEO
Ah, thought I saw something more official.
Isn't this kind of similar though? They've taken a few pictures and put them on social media. YouTube/Fam Cam videos are basically the same thing (with the potential of a far bigger audience.)
Fair play to these lads though, whilst it's not exactly thousands of people it is still gaining traction on Sky and social media. Hopefully the weekend one does get a bigger turn out and it keeps going from there.
Great to see , surprised Ole came out to talk to them and seeing the bed sheet 
Are MUST not involved in this ?
I wasn't saying I necessarily agreed with the stance as said in another post - it's just how it is seen and there is a reason none of the supporters groups are behind it.
That's quite disheartening. We need unity not division or elitism.
Are the Supporters groups organising other protests?
If one of them is interviewed and says "The protest was my idea and it's a great idea BUT I blame Ole for the fact we ran out of red paint, he should be sacked"..... it's him.
great news. more power to them
The Red Army left their banners in OT. If even that is too far for them, clearly they have no appetite for what this fight needs.
MUST said they want Glazers to transfer ownership to the fans and even if they don't organise the protests, they support people's right to do so.
Yep, i like how those "not at the protests" are very quick to criticise some who are at least out there trying to do something.
I believe so, from what I've seen there's a lot more talk about something for the Liverpool home game.
Obviously I don't know likely it would be to actually happen but a joint protest with United & Liverpool fans alongside one another could be incredibly powerful (and risky!).
Agreed mate and it the mods won't enforce this then we need to send a message to them as well.
WE decide when you POST.
Spurs Fans who we often laugh at made a better effort. Proper signage made and more professional looking. Ours was an embarrassment in comparison, hopefully will be better on Saturday.
I posted though because, why annoy the players with this and distract them from their work. They had no part in the whole ESL fiasco and even played a big part in getting it stopped. Why protest at their training ground and set us up for a bad result on Sunday. Idiots!
Target the Glazers and the Glazers only!
