Tooj 17 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Football 'crews' blatantly the types of wannabes who wouldnt get anywhere in the sadly all too pervasive modern organised gangland culture. Carrying all this shit on at what is now to a large degree a form of family entertainment. Couldnt get any more sad iyam. Well said. Nearly spat my sandwich out at the "approaching 40" bit from the hipster too btw Yeez ladz are sailing pretty close to the wind, mind Closer than you and your age statement anyways.

FCUM 1 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 FCUM, you ever been on RI? What a set of cunts. Red Issue is one of the best fanzines around but the (regular) forum is garbage. It wasn't always that way, it used to be a great forum but then the lunatics took over the asylum. There is another Red Issue forum known as 'The Sanctuary' which is where all the posters with brains are It's subscription only at a tenner a year, sad when you've got to do that to get a decent forum but it keeps the WUM's & multiple personas away. There is another breakaway forum from Red Issue called Fred Tissue. I've never been on there but I think some of the more sensible RI posters set it up after the main forum went to shit. The main RI forum is just a complete joke and (as you rightly say) frequented in the main by cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in a footballing sense I wouldn't show any unity with them, I would back a call for standing areas, rather than standing in sitting areas but march like this ? Not a chance.

But in a footballing sense I wouldn't show any unity with them, I would back a call for standing areas, rather than standing in sitting areas but march like this ? Not a chance. Rather be in the pub anyway I can see both sides really Leazes. No one set of supporters is going to achieve much on the issue of standing on their own so it will need some unity from supporters of different clubs to get anything done, and there is a history of MUFC & NUFC working together on this. Many years ago Andy Walsh then chair of IMUSA (now fulfills a similar role with FC United) went on fact finding mission to Germany with Kevin Miles (then chair of INUSA) and they submitted a joint report to parliament. I just think this was poorly thought out. The organisers Toon Ultras & Stretford End Flags are minority groups to put it mildly! The Toon Ultras seem to provoke derision from most NUFC supporters and the guy behind SEF is a lad who basically 'took his ball home' after a row about the banners that adorn Tier 2 of the Stretty I think joint action through the auspices of the Football Supporters Federation is to be applauded but this was a protest by two marginal groups that could have resulted in mayhem. As I said earlier, I won't knock them for trying to do something but (IMO) it was doomed from the start. Anything like this needs to be coordinated through majority groups with police approval.

LeazesMag 0 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Agree in principle, I signed the petition for safe standing areas outside SJP a couple of years ago, which was organised by the FSA I think. If it has any chance of success, it needs support of ALL clubs supporters as well as other people of influence. From a financial point of view [as they don't see further than this, or should I say fleecing supporters further] standing areas at a reduced ticket price but with more supporters in that area, could bring in more money. They could be swayed by this and probably only this. We've seen the violence and the effect of it during the 1970's and 80's, something had to be done, but I can't see what is wrong with having standing areas with a controlled capacity on a ticket only basis.

luckyluke 2 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I don't see the point of the protest/demonstration/soggy biscuit game to be honest. Football these days is all about selling it as entertainment, making it a pleasurable experience for families and corporate sponsors. Standing and the change in atmosphere it might bring is an irrelevence to the movers and shakers these days. The whole buisiness with the overseas games has shown that no one gives a flying fuck what the fans think about the game anymore (that's if they ever did).
