On the local news earlier protests were mentioned and that fans are being asked to wait outside the ground until 15 minutes after kick off. I am not sure a few soaking wet fans arriving late will have the impact they are hoping for.

On the bright side though, they might miss the first couple of Palace goals.

Can't help thinking they would be better off getting in a hour early and make themselves heard during the warm up etc

They should have it to leave 15 minutes before the end. Many will be anyway.

Didn't a few (with real emphasis on the word few) try that kind of protest last season were they waited until the 8th minute or something like that and then took there seats? I can vaguely remember it being shit.

If you are born in Aston does that make your ethnic origin Astonish? If somebody converted to being Astonish, say to marry, would that person's actions be described as Astonishing?

We arrived only just before KO & there was no sign of a demo anywhere.

I think it's as simple as this: if you're pissed off and want to protest; don't bother, stay away, the owner wants to sell anyway. If you want to support the team, then go down there and get behind them. They need all the support they can get at VP. I understand the rabid protests at Wycombe and think it probably did us a world of good
