As for the protest, if some fans want to show their displeasure at things, as long as it is peaceful then so be it. I would rather they didn't at the risk of affecting the team but something has to give.

Im just going to protest against Liverpool.

I'm with you.  The decision to award that prize to their theatre over our library was a shocker.

I doubt it will materialise into a full boycotting of the game for the 8 minutes by many fans, but I also doubt that our performance will stave off fans criticising Lambert.

And their accent. It got so bad, I used to watch the Liver Birds with the sound turned off.

By encouraging the fans not protest, he has actually drawn even more attention to it. It's made the back page of The Times today. It doesn't matter what happens with the protest now, the spotlight is firmly on him and his record.

Given the run of fixtures, I expect this will intensify in the next 2/3 weeks.

Now the spotlight is on, we will batter Liverpool, score a few goals and the press will go "what are these lot on about?", before turning their attention to something else.

We then go back to being pap.

To be honest, if you pay your money and you are in the ground, then you can do what you like.
I think its unfair that people who do not attend (for whatever reason) should pass comment on those supporters who may be showing their concerns.

The planned protest has received lot of publicity at both local and  National level by the Press. I think it has achieved it's purpose so I would urge the organisors to call it off now as either way it will not be good.

For me, the worry is we pick up one decent result in that run of 4 which just resets the clock for another dozen games of shite
I will start with the decent result  and take that and than worry about the next 4.
