I’ve got a £20 bet running with a mate that there will be punch ups in the stands at a game over this whole issue before the season is out. Got a feeling it could be easy money. |
An away game would be my bet. |  | |  |

Has that worked thus far?
They have totally ignored all of that for week and issued a rubbish apology.
We all know the quote about doing something repeatedly without any success, even if it's incorrectly attributed to Einstein.

So by your logic if he doesn’t resign after the protest outside of the ground then that hasn’t worked either, so people should give up protesting.
People should act with all good conscience. My view is that the protest would be counterproductive. jayessess has put over a compelling argument that it wouldn’t. I will continue to email the club and use social media to express my feelings that I am appalled by Ashton’s decision to invite Farage to the club. I shall also boycott buying any merch online. I’m not giving up after just one week. Some people like Rommy will vote with their feet. We all have do do what we believe is right.
Will you be at the protest on Monday? If so, I’m not going to criticise you. You are entitled to act in whatever way you believe to be right. [Post edited 31 Mar 7:05]

A small point but anyone boycotting merchandise should unsubscribe from club emails as a way of making them aware. |  |

I replied and the emails keep coming. Was worried I might not get details on away tickets? |  |

Thus there will be five protests in the hypothetical protests:
Love Cheese, Hate Sprouts
Hate Cheese, Hate Sprouts
Love Cheese, Love Sprouts
Hate Cheese, Love Sprouts
which will descend into chaos as the LCHS group turns on itself due to the LCHS Love Broccoli faction turns on the LCHS Hate Broccoli faction.
And most will just walk by with slightly-raised eyebrows. |
You miss out the splinter factions:
Love Brie; Hate Cheddar, Love Sprouts, etc.
This is all getting very messy now.
Ashton out, but thankful for what he has done and said with sadness rather than hatred. That's my niche right now. |  |

In theory you should be able to unsubscribe from retail separately but I'm not convinced it works either, will let you know. | |

I had no intention of going but your determination to drive the apathy makes me think I might go. | |

To be fair on Lazy Blue, they have posted a fair bit.
It is usually about how dreadful Green or Labour are. Or about ignoring politics and keeping it out of football. Or about how we shouldn't be fussed about the non-issue of Farage visiting the club (because clearly that's all it was).
I do wonder if Lazy Blue presents Aussie SSN. | |

Those of you who are coming out against this idea, can I just ask:
1. Are you against it because of the timing and the effect it could have on the team on the day?
2. Are you against it because we should keep politics out of football?
3. Are you just against it?
Genuine question. (I'm a lefty, but I haven't decided how I feel about it yet.) |

Yes, but I'd argue that's not protesting, just posting a viewpoint.
I'm interested in the opposition to protesting, saying it won't achieve anything. In a democracy we have few moments of direct influence and the two of voting and protesting, for all their failures, are pretty hard baked and have a great amount of evidence to say it *can* achieve meaningful change. | | | |

Utter nonsense. Stop this please. Let’s watch some football. |

I think it’s just to make sure he complies with the bullying and intimidatory tendencies of many on the right hand side of this particular debate. |

It's not really bullying, you are right.
However getting het up and emotional about a protest and calling it "gimp level cringe" is probably "gimp level cringe" in and of itself. |  | | |

Because the whole thing is utter stupidity, it was a visit by a leader of a major uk party but seriously who the hell cares .
You don’t need a protest for something so small that even talksport only discussed it for 5 mins and a few on here seem to what to drive the club down and I am fuming that after all the years we have waited to get to this point .
Don’t like stay away and do something else if they want to feel better about themselves but don’t stop thousands of us who want to want the football | | | |

To be fair, whether you like the idea or not, a protest at 1pm will in no way stop thousands of people watching the football at 3pm. | | | |

In all seriousness if this were to ‘go big’ it would attract all of the wrong people, on both sides. |
Which is exactly what Reform want, counter protests and Tommy Ten Names and his flag sha@@ing army to turn up and 'defend British Values and freedom of speech'.
Now we are literally playing into the hands of right wing politics. |  |

"You don’t need a protest for something so small that even talksport only discussed it for 5 mins".
Obviously people do feel the need if they think our club shouldn't be associated with racism, homophobia and corruption. |  |

Genuinely curious how many would respond. |  |

50/50 I'd say, and lead to punch ups. | |

I reckon 50% stand, 40% shrug and just can't be arsed, remaining 10% might get aggy. | |
