Gold And Green - Make A Statement The thing that I have noticed particularly obvious about the whole Glazer takeover has been how good the Glazers have been at dividing the fans. Even amongst my friends there are pro FC / Anti FC / Not A Penny More / Match Tickets Only & no pies e.t.c but the one thing that obviously unites (excuse the pun) all of us is our need to get rid of the *******. I honestly do not believe for one minute that it is possible to get everyone to agree to anything, as has been shown here, but one think is for sure we all hate the Glazers. Unfortunately because we have different ways of showing it, and different ideas it will/has got very diluted and this is a major blow to everyone except the Glazers. I think scarves/hats/badges etc are a good idea, alright it's not very radical but it is something that realistically could be adopted by everyone from the 'terrorist bomb the ********' section to the 'no pies inside' protestors. One thing the chants inside OT this week did achieve should not be underestimated, and that is the fact that a lot more people were showing discontent than we imagined. Allright it's easy to chant but it's easy to wear a scarf/hat/badge/flag as well. Now this bit might prove slightly controversial and it may sound like I am taking the piss but the big problem with the scarf/hat/badge/flag idea is that it is impossible to distinguish people who are wearing them and who are not. I therefore suggest that all anti glazer items be easily identifiable by making them a set colour (color for any Americans lurking). My suggestion for this is Green/Gold of the old strip. This would make any anti glazer supporter stand out and a sea of green/gold could never go un-noticed on TV. Also even thinks like green/gold cards or flyers of the back pages of fanzines (we would have to have a word with the mags about this) could be used to signify our dislike of the *****. And I doubt it is possible for anyone to be ejected for wearing a green/gold scarf. It mught be a shit idea, but if we can get ONE ******* thing to unite all of us then at least we have a start. I would gladly redo a section of the site in this colour and explain to a few thousand people what it means when they see anyone wearing this colour. It's a visual impact, something that we have been severely lacking. And who knows, once people start to see how many people actually are opposed to this they may start being slightly more pro-active. * As a side note if we ever played against Norwich it might get confusing, but **** it. ** We considered black etc but it's hardly noticable on TV or amongst the red/black that people currently have. *** Let's go one step at a time. Get the people wearing colours who give a ****. If we later want to set off g/y flares, throw g/y scarves or paint the megastore g/y then that is another question for another day. If you have a green/gold hat, scarf, badge, dog or child then you ******* hate glazer. (Taken from the 'We Want The Glazers Out' Facebook group)
makes good sense. just need to make sure anything green/gold is not bought from the club shop as that completely pisses all over the initial idea. Anything created must not be created for profit but sold for what it is, a protest item. Get everyone to dig out their 1993 away shirts. Pre-glazer era and like you said, a sea of green/gold stands out on the telly.
Even for those who don't own the shirt, they can just wear green or yellow tops. It would be great to see mass parts of the stadium in a sea of anti glazer green n gold. Get the media to do the donkey work.
there's a Facebook campaign about this already! the internet is a powerful tool people really should start doing this! everyone boycot jersey's and United gear next year, and only wear green and gold scarves! this would have a massive impact!!!!
Everyone wear the yellow/green away shirt for the rest of the season. It is Newton Heath colours as well, witch shows that we care about our history and that we all know where it all started. Wearing a nostalgic shirt shows that we hate what Glazers has turned Manchester United in to be.
Blah! My shirt is far too small now, anyone know where the green / yellow shirt is being sold? Seen some online but WAY too pricey.... Might buy some material in town today and make a banner or something
MANCHESTER UNITED 3rd SHIRT 1992-1994 GREEN/YELLOW XL - eBay (item 130359867976 end time Jan-24-10 12:18:17 PST) £20 not bad but i can see some people milking it and selling their shirts to fellow reds for big prices
