Why don't the Stretty End have huge 'Woodward / Glazers out' banners...?

[Rhyme Animal]

I know there's an existing Woodward out thread, but I thought this specific issue could do with it's own thread in order to get seen by people who could actually do it.

Why doesn't the Stretford End have a huge Woodward / Glazers out banner?

It's one of the most famous stands in World footy, and is so well respected and rightly so. It just struck me when the singing started against Burnley - there should banners all over the Stretty demanding better.

And so if anyone can make it happen, please do - it will be seen, and it won't be ignored.

It wouldn't need to be offensive.

'Support your investment or leave' etc isn't offensive.

And also, we're talking about the Stretford End here, highly respected, and a combined voice that people will listen to.

Every bag and person is searched, surely these banners will be confiscated.

Fans should smuggle them inside somehow like how fans take flares to the stadium.

The owners don’t need to find it offensive, they can stop any kind of banner if they so wish, they own the stadium and control what goes on there. Only thing they can’t stop are fans not attending, walk outs and chanting.

Why would the Glazers and Woodward object to banners telling them to ruck off.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Would you let somebody come into your house for dinner and let them put up a giant banner saying "Invest in your house it's a mess you lazy bastards'

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

You don't remember this from Green and Gold? A few tried, and got instantly thrown out by stewards.

Just replace the image of Fergie with an image of Woodward with a P45 on The Impossible Dream banner and see if they notice

 

[Rood]

All banners in the stadium have to be approved by the club.

Although in saying that, some fans did manage to smuggle in the huge LUHG and Green&Gold flags 10 years ago so it's not impossible I suppose

Support our investment is a bit of a silly argument given they've invested close to a billion pounds since Fergie left and we have one of the highest paid squads in the world. Better investment is the argument but you cant argue they haven't spent money. They just havent spent wisely.
