[Archived] "walk With Birdy" - 18/75 Protest - Wolves Sky Game

[JHRover]

Reporters were told ahead of Coyle's press conference to not ask any questions in relation to the protest on Saturday. Good old Pravda strikes again!

[G Somerset Rover]

GET BEHIND THE LADS FFS!

There is another new article on the official site titled "Keep moving forward" - a message from Coyle. Moving forward to what you moron? League One?

What is a be have?

Almost like we are back to 2011 when the project partnership was in full swing.

Just come across this on the Rovers website (at end of feature about Charlie Mulgrew) -

"Rovers supporters are reminded that upon entry into the stadium, they agree to adhere to the Ground Regulations.

Any supporters who contravene these rules could face potential criminal prosecution and/or banning orders imposed by the club.

The club urges all supporters to behave in an appropriate manner and to show their full support to the team".

So the threats begin...................................

Those are the rules that apply every week, nothing new here, whats the worse that can happen? a ban and fine, it could be worth it to get the publicity.

Nothing in the ground regs about whistles

Just giving the referee a helping hand

[Roverall]

Had anyone got a spare whistle??

Just had a terrible thought that some of our deluded fans may boo those leaving on the 75th minute, Sky pick up on it and twist it into "the majority of fans in the ground are staying and are backing the owners" type thing. You've got to think this is unlikely but you never know, as previously mentioned on here those staying in the ground should acknowledge those leaving by clapping and making some noise. I'm really looking forward to Saturday, mainly because I don't have to watch as much of the game as usual 😉

I think booing is exactly what some will do unfortunately, which is a shame because I wouldn't boo anyone for not taking part.

If that happens then I'm honestly done with this football club and my season ticket is going in the bin

[funny-old-game]

Not sure, I suppose it depends on what grounds the police were asking for them and which names/numbers they were asking for. If it was limited to a small number of potential trouble makers who were threatening to break the law or who had broken the law previously then that would probably be fine, but if they've handed over the database of all registered Rovers fans with contact details I'd say that's unacceptable.

If my name and details have found their way into police hands I'd like to know why. I've never broken a law or threatened to do anything, so I don't think it is acceptable if my details have been passed to the police.

As ever Rovers will be more than happy to help. Home fans come last at Rovers these days.

The way this club treats it fans, with disdain and disrespect, it wouldn't surprise me if they contacted the police themselves, with a list of contact names and numbers they have collected over the years of fans that stand up to them.

@#/? genius'.

That BBC report doesn't get written until the BBC journalists are told not to ask about the 1875 protest this morning. I doubt the BBC even knew.

What a @#/? own goal. There is now an article on the biggest sports website in the UK, potentially the world and its ALL their own doing.

Yes, six years of @#/? and misery and without a doubt fans will be booing fans standing up against the owners, even though it the owners that has got us here.

I'm either mad, insane or we have some of the strangest fans ever for not seeing who the real enemy is.

Now where did I put that prozac.

[gazsimm]

nice for the BBC to let the world know, what about the Lancashire Telegrapth and other local papers??

The same will stay ....... then boo the team off if we don't win probably. So many contradictions amongst our splintered fanbase these days

[LewisF]

i noticed that too

Air horns forbidden, but no mention of whistles

[frosty]

The LT is too busy printing the views of people who think the protest will 'affect the team.'

[Ivorsemion]

Do we even have a BRFC reporter at the LT now?

[tomphil]

Coyle : Don't ask us about any planned protests we aren't lowering ourselves to answer them.

Rovers lose

Coyle : It was the negative atmosphere created by protesters that was responsible .

You can hardly blame the sky reporter for that, every other championship match is from sodding Elland Road after all. Then again, maybe it is? That would be one way of avoiding any unseemly protests.
