    No it wouldn't. That's my point. I wasn't really interested but I managed to walk right by it almost by accident. Vicky square was wide open as it always is. It really wasn't a City in lockdown.

    it's actually more self-pitying, spiteful crap - the concessions modification helps nobody - £30 for a second division game is a rip off

    don't fall for it

    "the reaction of some fans at the Nottingham Forest game and the impact that this had on our players and the performance that followed."

    Stopped reading there and then. Knew it would be full of twisted self-serving deluded mendacity.

    People are free to protest. Anyone who thinks interrupting the queens visit in anyway will get good publicity is an idiot. It might highlight it yes, but it won't be positive. Crack on suicide squad.
    Evington, Evans a few more off here. I look forward to it.

    Anyone protesting at the visit won't be motivated by any thoughts of good publicity, they'll be doing it purely to upset Assem.

    I'm not remotely interested in standing outside Hull Uni protesting about anything.

    I see there were a load of protesters there yesterday, but I don't really know what they were doing.

    You wont see me waving a banner as I work for a living and it's unlikely that I will get the time to travel back from London.
    But good luck to those who do protest.

    Worst idea ever.

    Unless there’s hundreds there it will validate the Allams line of a noisy minority.

    It will push neutrals away.

    It will hurt the campaign to persuade the Allams to change or go.

    It will achieve nothing positive at all.

    Hopefully it will just stay as noise online.

    I agree with this. Perhaps they should be mindful of their first paragraph and consider the pros and cons of any demo / protest.

    If they welcome the opportunity to open dialogue then how is that best achieved?

    You've rather missed the point, they went and made their point on Sunday, rather than doing it during the visit.

    Seems I've missed the point too. As it don't read that way to me.

    It's not a brilliantly worded statement (or maybe it is, making the Allams twitchy is obviously an objective), clarified with a later tweet...

    #HCAFC has achieved its objective without compromising HRH's visit.

    Good. Just to clarify if they went back and hung the banner on the building after the visit, I'd be fine with that.
    Respect to these young fans who got up off their arses and did something. It's the online poseurs I can't stand
