Hounslow
So my lad says to me at home, after lunch, if I was going to wear my Classic FM home shirt, as it was washed and pressed. No I said, I am wearing a green t-shirt and a white hat, in support, of what I thought was going to be a green and white protest.

There we were, on the Uxbridge Road, looking for the green and white scarf sellers, which I informed my son there would be plenty of. Alas, we searched high and low, but could not find any, not one.

I know, I thought to myself, I bet they are selling them outside the club shop. Again, my anticipation of completing my green and white ensemble bore no fruit.

Brothers and Sisters, if we are to stand up and be counted, let us at least agree on a mandate that we will embrace.

Not sure what to wear to the Rochdale game now......

Rosarie beads!
 
Fans are giving the owners the benefit of the doubt over the new players taken on, in the knowledge that management have done the absolute minimum that is acceptable.

If the next few results go the same way as Bolton, I predict there'll be demonstrations in South Africa Road and you can start looking for green and white scarves then...

[EDIT the above not applicable if the Goons are bought out in the next few days...]
 
Hounslow: Protest plans went quiet after the recent criminal disturbances... With speculation over whether matches would be on, off or played earlier for reasons of police availability, I think the general feeling was not the right time and place for public demonstrations.

Also the expected Fernandes 'takeover' and concerns that Mittal had lost interest would have further dampened the mood for protest.

Personally, I've been saying that any protest would need to gather its own momentum in the first instance. That momentum began to show itself when R block led the booing and anti-Briatore chanting as things started to deteriorate yesterday. If nothing changes between now and the next home game, that dissatisfaction will become increasingly audible - and then visible.

As always results will determine action one way or the other - and rightly so. After all, if we were winning everything in sight, even I'd be supporting the Goons.

However, our belief has always been that their 'boutique' vision and associated policies are a recipe for disaster. Yesterday's performance added a lot of weight to that assertion. Time will tell. Even at 0-4 yesterday the crowd was cheering Warnock. God help the Goons if he's sacked...

Watch this space.
 
Sorry if we let you down Hounslow.

The riots during the week made any external protest untenable. As there had been no mention of the green and white in the week leading up to the match I assumed nothing was happening. However I did notice that the guy in the ice cream van on the corner of Ellerslie Road and Loftus Road had one.

I was pleased to hear the pro Warnock and pro Mittal chants along with the anti Briatore. Hopefully something will have happened by the time the next home match comes around. I’m still not convinced about this Fernandes deal though. Unless he has won the Euro Millions, he still isn’t rich enough to buy Eccles’ shares.
 
Brixton R & Rollercoaster Ranger - Good judgement there fellas.
The recent disturbances, which never came this far west, was still close enough for my liking (thoughts with Ealing and all those affected)

Kim Jong Il - WTF ?????????????
