But you can't be seen to be doing something unless you actually do it, can you

All supporters have is old fashioned romance with the club their only hope of getting a message through is by pulling at the emotional strings of their owners by showing how many loyal fans who are the self styled back bone of the club are unhappy. Walking out and wearing the red and green is/was all about showing numbers.

The sad thing is clubs value TV rights and merch more than their fans.

The only protest that would maybe kick start a change would be united v Liverpool fa cup final and both sets of fans agree to boycott. Then maybe the FA would help put pressure on.

the same FA who so rigorously enforces the 'fit and proper person test' won't lift a finger to help the fans. Why should they?

Apparently they're going to pay the new prices but not eat pies for a full season. Another pointless exercise to give a load of #@&%!s the excuse to show how much of a top football fan they are. Either accept you're a customer and pay the price or stop going, it's pretty simple.

Interesting you call them shit though after *********** their manager for months.
If they were five points clear at the top of the league there would've been no such protest.

If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next

Quote:
History teaches you that owners greed
Is always there though sometimes on hold.
So if you aren't affected and stay passive,
If you say "It's not my tickets".

Bullet dodged, you're fine today.
But when you're on the receiving end.
Money men's numbers on their papers,
Will make you weep for the fans they plunder.

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next.
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next.
Will be next.
Will be next.
Will be next.

Prices keep you out the ground,
Should be the owners shame.
For locking out the true fans and trying to win the money game.

We could let it go today,
Protesting makes us feel rough,
But if not now then when do we show them that enough is enough?


And if you tolerate this then your children will be next.
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next.
Will be next.
Will be next.
Will be next.
Will be next.

And for the match tonight, he's in the pub.
With his lad who's never been and can't afford to watch his club.

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next.
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next.
Will be next.
Will be next.
Will be next.
