Because a game stopped due to fans protest gains more media coverage. It highlights the reasons why the fans protested which leads to more people becoming aware of the Glazers and their regime. It leads to sponsors asking questions of Utd executives as to how can they continue investing in a brand that is being shown in a negative light on the media. All of this contributes to ramping up the pressure on the Glazers, if not to sell, then at least do everything they can to appease the fans so this negative spotlight is removed.
Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
not sure how the idiots think this will force glazers to sell.. meanwhile. how the f@ck did they get into the ground? Does Woodward run the security company?
I get why people are protesting but would still like to see the game go ahead and to beat Liverpool.
However if they don't out of the stadium soon and the game gets cancelled we might loose the 3 points, Liverpool gain 3 points which increase their chances of European football next year.. and City win the title today.
Not the greatest of outcomes, maybe could have been better to protest on a less important game. We are still trying to climb back to being one of the strongest teams in the Premiership and beating Liverpool today would have been another step towards that.
I get the need to protest but not sure gifting Liverpool 3 points is the best outcome.
Its already been a successful protest in that the game will be delayed so everyone around the world will know the reason why it has been delayed.

Reported him again. I suggest all do
They should have brought a lawnmower and carved glazersout on the pitch
You're right. Green and gold scarfs is the way to out the glazers.
'Chav scum'? Judgemental much? Never go full Partridge.
Shame to see that geezer smashing camera equipment up but you'll always get a few overexcited at these types of things. Nothing has worked to date - this will get column inches for days and lead to bigger conversations around club ownership. I say good.
Have you ever been to Old Trafford? I can’t imagine any proper supporters being against this. They’ve bled the club dry and refuse to invest in our stadium.
I imagine you could get in Downing Street if 200 people wanted to. Although a stadium can’t be that hard to lock down given most ways in are pretty small
If what happens today actually got them out I doubt anyone would be upset. Some people rocking up at the stadium and causing the cancellation of a match isn’t going to convince businessmen to sell a cash cow. It’s as clear as day that anyone that thinks otherwise is a fecking idiot.
I only have respect for the protesters there. They are the real heroes. Risking themselves out there for the club that in dire need of change from above.
Since the Glazers took over and stole 2 bils from the club we are becoming worse and worse. Agree 100% with what Gary Neville just said about the leeches ownership.

I feel sorry for theplayers.. and the coach who have worked hard the whole season.. I am not for vandalism and breaking property but if this protest goes on for multiple games maybe somebody will listen as the clubs valuation will start to be Impacted
It’s ok, you’ve made your opinion clear now.
Right now the editor of the Daily Mail is saying "clear the entire paper for tomorrow"
We could do with more flares and what not to be honest.
Exactly.
The green and gold campaign didn't have anywhere near the desired effect, so the fans have decided to step it up a notch or two this time around. Vandlism is perhaps a little much, but it's a sign of how strongly the fans feel about getting rid of our owners.
It's not reportable. It's an opinion, if you disagree you can debate it.
You reported him because you disagree with his opinion? 'princess'
Didn't see anyone's shins get blasted.
The overall message is quite clearly against the glazers. If you didn’t expect a few to take it too far then you are naive.
Daniel James?
Arsenal are in the same boat as us, owners that care nothing about the club, just the money it makes for them. This ESL was not for the benefit of the club, it was for the benefit of the owner.
I don't agree with his opinion either, but there's no need for shite like this.
All the boys with their Tesco bags of cans & crisps
They are only doing it for selfies! “Hey Dude guess where I am” gobbos
Uuuullllaaaaa!!!
Having scum breaking cameras like that isn’t sending the right message, it just makes United fans look like yobs, that’s not going to help.
I'm saying protest has be disruptive.
As for "everyone can break in wherever they want?" Dont be a drama queen I'm saying that after 16 years of protest nothing has changed, so the level has had to increased.
Hopefully kick off after the F1 finishes
No large protest is free of idiots, I'm not sure what you're trying to insinuate from this.
There is a need, if you’ve been you’d better realise how the lack of investments is hurting the ground more than a few protestors taking corner flags.
Sticky this post. Excellent. Fully behind the fans.
How do you "obedients" think sitting at home and telling people how mature you are on the internet does?
This is just about the biggest, loudest and hardest hitting statement United fans could have made against the Glazers. Descending on the stadium in our thousands, breaking onto the pitch, showing that our desire to be rid of them is more important than a game against our biggest rivals, even if it meant City being handed the title today. I honestly can't think of a more powerful message.
Every news outlet on the planet is going to report this and show these images. Not one sponsor or commercial partner will be able to ignore it. And yes, on it's own it might not be enough - but then we do it again. Keep doing it and keep disrupting games until broadcasters and sponsors start stepping in.
But sitting at home and throwing shade at the people actually trying to do something is pathetic. Trying to take some sort of moral high ground while doing so is even worse.

@Carolina Red - I trust you will show consistency hereYou reported him because you disagree with his opinion? 'princess'
It's a shame that some of those involved have to take it too far. I'm hearing some unpleasant stuff.
Hope the game is called off.

Telling someone "eff off" isn't in any way an opinion.
It's all Lindelof's fault. He is backing away from everything all the time.
