Fully back anyone protesting, and I'm all for change, but do have to agree that there is a lot of posturing around it. This isn't sniping or anything, just examples of recent 'protests' that have been planned with plenty of excitement.
Last year, the Arsenal protest. I got involved. Before it, it seemed like half the ground was going to walk out. But no, we got laughed at as we went down to the concourse and you've got people screaming at you to give up your season ticket.
Went to United on Friday. 10k there, expected to be a big noise about the board because Twitter and the forums were abuzz with protest excitement. We probably sung for 2 mins max all night about sacking the board.
You can even go back to the anti-Martinez protests. Must have been 100 of us who stayed behind, but EVERYONE wanted him gone.
There is a very big disconnect between those who go the game, and those who go but aren't on social media, and I fear you'll see that in full effect again on Saturday.
