Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
A 1-hour sit in after the game. I like it.
Any way to keep the anti-glazer voice in the media, keep those "sentiment trackers" low.
Every little helps.

Will be interesting to see how many stay back but bar the 1958/ TRA I can’t see mass fans staying around . We will most definitely need to beat Forest to see maximum people stay back .
Get behind it people!
This just won’t happen. No one is staying behind for an hour!
Hope it goes brilliantly, feck the Glazers.
Yeah it's unlikely to look like a convincing protest. Getting half the crowd to stay till 90 minutes have been played is an impossible task!
i’ll need to get back to southampton.
It’s a shame it’s not a televised game. There’s even less chance of people staying for a 5.30 or 8pm game, and I know it’s been planned for ages, but I doubt it’s going to get much traction.
To be fair, not leaving Old Trafford till way past the time you should have left is definitely the Manchester United way.
The more protests the better. Feck the Glazer scum bags
Absolutely pointless I’m sorry. Not televised so will lack real impact and it’s asking too much to stay back for an hour. Protests need to be a lot more disruptive.
Maybe just keep your doubts to yourselves next time?
I get that some folk just like to be contrarian. Some want to look back and know they were 'right'. But we get this every single time a protest is organised. You're really not pointing out any issues that the rest of us can't see. It's always been a slog, for nearly 20 years now. At least the 1958 and others are trying to get something going. If we all just decided each time that this may not be my preferred method of protest, but I will give my support(vocal or physical) to my fellow fans' effort to achieve something with which the vast majority of us agree, then the leeches would have been removed by now.
Glazers out!
100%.
Its very weird how quick people are to criticize these protests.
Well done to everyone involved. I hope it goes well. I will be tuning in and helping on social media.
No one? Obviously some will
TBH I won't for logistical reasons (bloody train strike!) but fair play to anyone who does
Contrarian? My posting history will show nothing but support for every single protest against the Glazers, and protests in wider society. I can see how my post came across as a one off though.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with suggesting that a televised game would be a better target for this type of protest, especially one where the Sky studio is pitch side. Maybe it’ll happen if this one is successful.
As a superior local fan I would’ve thought this would be right up your street. I assume you’ll be at the game being local? Will you stay for the hour?
Ah no, you’re probably busy scrapping after the match outside Lou macaris chippy innit.
Interesting to put a face to the group. Fair play to the bloke.
Good luck lads, I hope it goes well for everyone involved.
Glazers Out!
It’s obviously great to protest but this is a poor choice. My view.
I watched the 1958 vid on youtube earlier. A good and new idea that will be fantastic if it is well supported. There is a risk that if everyone leaves on time then it could backfire.
I hope its well supported And stays peaceful.
I hope its well supported And stays peaceful.
Fair play to any of the lads doing this today. Thank you
I’ll echo that. I no longer go to games like I used to do so I’d never get involved but back in the day I would of been all over this. Great work.
How much have we spent this summer?
???
@Wumminator is a Glazer sympathiser so probably best to void his posts about protests.
Just a genuine question, becuase the Glazers will use that as a reason to ignore the protests and the media and the rest of the football world will use it to laugh at us for protesting when they've spent hundreds of millions.
I get that the whole point is we have no football structure and we're completely deficient in identifying targets and building a proper team but there's nothing to suggest a new owner would change it so it's pretty redundant to do a protest when we know the Glazers don't listen/care and everyone else is laughing. It's pretty much just patting yourself on the back for being a 'top red'.
It would be great if they got 30-40’000 staying around, would really make a visual/vocal impact.
Ya wha? Not at all.
Yeah I really hope this gets some support today
Best of luck to all participating in this today!
Nice of the ref to let the football continue for half of the protest.
The Glazers simply don’t give a shit about any protest. They are scum.
Fair number of seats empty. Eell done to those that stayed
Seems really shortsighted to do the sit in today for a non-televised match when there are no interviews on pitch or major UK broadcasters in house:
How odd, maybe keep your comments to yourself yeah?
Who's criticising the protests? Just looks like people criticising those who routinely leave when the game gets to 80 minutes just to miss the traffic.
Seconded.
Any news/pics of how this is going?
A fair few look to have stayed. Not sure how much impact it'll have on a non-televised game when you have to look for a mention of it even on here.
They did show quite abit of this on my tv broadcast. Good on those participating!
