Hammers United Protests | Who's Going?

[stubbo-admin]

So next Saturday is the first protest with a pre-game march.

Thought a thread to organise within the context of WHO, who's going, anyone that wanted to get slurps before and after etc might be worth doing.

I'll confirm the logistics of things and post them up as well.

A sit-in would never happen in that shithole with travelling back home to contend with. Boycotting is the better way and I reckon enough doing it will make a good enough point and visual. 

[Pub Bigot]

I can’t get down on a Monday night, so again I’m there in spirit. That said, while the first one was a decent turnout, there needs to be more. 

My concern is that it’s all very nicey nicey. I think the board need to know they’re not welcome and the protest not to feel like the local book club has turned up to protest, and in fact is is West Ham telling them to fuck off. 

[fraser]

Nobody is sticking them on resale and resale only opens if it's sold out anyway.. So now they're selling tickets cheaper than season ticket cost, nice
Is it cutting our nose off to spite our face? 

I don't think it is they're just trying everything they can to give them bad publicity and trying to pile some pressure on. 

[El Scorchio]

If you're a STH and boycotting, then surely just don't sell or relist your tickets. Then there's no chance they can backfill the seats. As most seats are STH seats (are they not?) then if they boycott and haven't relisted there should be swathes of seats. More than usual for the last throes of the Potter days.

[Gary Strodders shank]

I had a phone call from the club on Monday asking if I wanted club London hospitality for £70 ?

Tickets are being sold from £15 and they will no doubt give a lot of what's remaining to local schools and other organisations.

Im torn with this and those season ticket holders who boycott have already given the club their money and sticking them on resale (although unlikely to sell) would totally defeat the object by giving the club more money 

The gaps in the stands created by  those boycotting  will more than likely be filled by opportunists moving down from the cheap seats as nobody ever checks unless there is a ln issue.

For me a sit in or other form of protest is a better way of venting our spleen and this is cutting ones nose of to spite your face.

£27 for a band two ticket for a PL fixture is also a good deal regardless of the fact that our band two would probably be a band four in any other purpose built football stadium.

 

[fraser]

I won't be attending Monday, doubt it will do much but a lot of fellow fans spare time has gone into this and they're doing it for all of us.


Not really buying the "I'm going to support the team" stance. The team know it's not them and it's like a fucking morgue over there anyway. Loads want to moan but don't want to give a game up because they like going but will keep on moaning. 

[Mike Oxsaw]

Have the government proscribed Hammers United as a terrorist organisation yet?

They have the ability and I'm sure a fair few in the establishment would love to set another example of a caring, left-leaning state (and take a pop at the working classes).

There is an 11pm curfew to exit the London Stadium. Event organisers need special dispensation to extend the curfew for late-finishing concerts and the like.

I won't be there but a sit in after the match is a good idea for those who want to show their feelings. It doesn't effect the team for this important match but would be a real fucking nuisance to the stadium operators., who will have to pay overtime to the fucked off staff and presumably have to try and remove the fans - police? . Could turn nasty and embarrassing.

A sit in would be even more embarrassing than a boycott.  Most people can't manage to stay until the final whistle, let alone a couple of hours after.

Sit in is planned for the Newcastle game (which is early kick off).

Sit in at a night game would be hard to achieve as it's a late finish anyway and people will be wanting to get home.

So they're doing both at different games.

People can do what they feel is appropriate 
My choice is to support the team v Brentford & fans could remain in the ground to protest 
Refuse to leave til midnight

Hammers United Protest Update
Brentford boycott
It would appear that thousands of West Ham fans are intent on supporting the No More BS campaign’s call for a boycott of the Brentford home game.

The statement about being an “analogue club in the digital world” needs to be repeated along with demands for BS to step awsy from day to day running of the club.  Ask them for a copy of their strategy and plans. They aint got anything. Rank Amateurs, not fit for purpose.  

Have to disagree, we are just one of many clubs in the way we are run. 
Let's look at PL, are Man It'd well run and 'digital? Chelsea? Everton? Many PL clubs are run in the sale way as us just supporters of clubs think they're the only ones.

These princesses have been mugged off by the board in the media. This obsession with nice peaceful gentle protest is a load of old rubbish, the only time a protest works is when it's loud and vociferous and causes issues.
the laughing at all these getle peaceful protests.

Lady Brady, the vacuum-packed hag.

[El Scorchio]

Well done to everyone who was there. Did the board indeed have to drive past it all or did they weasel in another way?

 

I don't think there was any chance of Sullivan or Brady coming through those gates unless they bunked down on one of the coaches or came in very early doors.

In general the protesters were very well behaved and good natured. but managed at the same time managed to get the point across.

The transfer busses presumably used for the elderly and disabled were able to navigate through the crowd quite easily and there was no real obstructing of the gates when vehicles came through.

The team coaches got a decent reception

 



 

 

 

Yeah I figured they’d find a way in to avoid it. Imagine they just turned up a couple of hours earlier than usual. Actually more likely they probably kicked all the disabled people off their transfer bus and took that instead. Seems like the sort of thing they’d do. 

[goose]

I notice how she now regularly wears big fuck off sunnies to the game, even though it was overcast all day which was fitting of the general funeral mood surrounding the Club. A clear sign of it all getting to her trying to hide away from reality pretending she cannot see it. Oh it's happening alright, bitch. And all in high definition crystallised technicolour of shit that you helped create, your Royal Highness.

Face like a slapped arse!

The old ozempic face is coming on a treat, she’s giving Sharon Osborn vibes.

Once Brady goes she will be gorging herself at the cheeseboard at her team Arsenal and we’d never see her again
Sullivan will be looking for another club to drain dry
They should be lepers now & their attendance made miserable

The next game v Brentford has to see direct action against these parasites 

[Pub Bigot]

How did it go yesterday? I saw from one or two videos it looked like thousands attended.

[GBHammer63]

If the protests actually achieve their goal of making Sullivan and Brady stand down, would they still be welcomed into the directors box come match days?

For me it’s too much of an ask, I never want to see the hideous faces of Brady, Sullivan or his embarrassment of a sort of woman again. Standing down isn’t enough, they should be treated like lepers.
