Were you there? As I was & at the start there was probably no more than 300, the numbers increased as it went past the Oak, but there was never 2500 participating on the day. It was a disappointing turnout compared to what I had expected given the feeling around at the time. It was going nowhere lad & it dying a death since is all the proof needed.

I was at both, I also attended the meetings at the casa and the italian above Carraghers bar in L1. I seriously doubt you were if you think 300 started that march. It died a death as they were seriously outmanouvred and made to look daft and the organization(I use that loosely) was turned in on itself.

Have a look back at reports from the day, forum posts etc re: the numbers, but it's largely irrelevant anyway.
You make it sound like it was on the verge of achieving something & was growing at the point it died........it simple wasn't.

AT THE START.

It's not irrelevant, it's the central point of your argument. You keep saying with precisely no evidence to support you that it was dying.
I can show two marches with the second larger than the first. You don't need Carol Vorderman to draw that graph.

If you genuinely believe that support for the BU had grown between November & when the 3rd march was scheduled 5 months later, then good luck to you lad. I can't prove it with any links or graphs, but ask any Blue who wasn't directly involved for their honest assessment of the support level at that point & come back to me. There was simply little hunger for it, their moment had passed, as the team were doing well & the January window had been quite good.

People, including you, have had a go at the anti-board side for claiming people are sheep, easily pleased, non thinking etc. You honestly think that two signings, one of whom had barely played at that point, and a few scrapping wins would completely change the minds of people whose families have supported EFC for generations?
There was a lot of anger and consternation all over the place that it was cancelled, why, if no one was bothered?
Surely at the start there was only 1 person.
Its like saying that for Evertons last game, when the gates opened there was only 5 fans in the ground.

Those with strong beliefs would have been undeterred & still aren't, but the question I asked was did you think support had grown in the 5 months since the 2nd march?

No it isn't, I meant where the march started from, at the back of the grass square next to the Oak.

I see no evidence to suggest it'd shrunk. I also see the club play a ruse, which says a lot, so in all likelyhood yes.
I listened to the Radio on the way home from the game.
Greame Sharp was laughing at the BU, saying they must feel stupid that only 1 man and his dog attended the March.
When 1 side feels the need to lie, even when theres video evidence, you know which side has "won".

You seriously think that support for the BU had grown from November '11 to March '12?
Ok mate, I think this has run it's course, I'm off home.
