The protest group’s statement shared in the post reads: ‘We march in protest and will continue to do so. The club is putting pressure on the fan base that attend matches, which is a process to clean up season ticket holders at Old Trafford and weed out legacy supporters. Another tactic to control and dampen the protests. If you love the club, make sure our distaste for this property is not diluted by these despicable acts.
It’s up to us, the United fans, to keep up the pressure! Protests work, you’ve heard this from the horse’s mouth. This must be every United fan. Don’t let others do it. We stand united fighting for a common goal in which we all believe.’
This is the latest in a wave of recent protests against United’s current owners, the Glazer family, and follows Lancashire-born billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s comments on buying United at a Financial Times conference earlier in the week. .
The businessman claimed that he met Joel and Avram Glazer in the summer, who informed him that the club was not for sale. Despite this, Ratcliffe still harbors a vested interest in buying United.
The 1958s have been at the forefront of the anti-Glazer movement, with several protests already taking place at various home games, including the Liverpool game, where an estimated 15,000 people joined.
This latest planned protest appears to follow the schedule of previous home games, with a planned 1pm march towards Old Trafford, although care has been taken to mention that the use of flares or smoke bombs could lead to a stadium ban. if detected.
While the Glazers haven’t shown much of a desire to sell the club thus far, it’s clear that pressure on the owners is building in part because of these protests.
With The 1958 also using other methods, such as sponsorship boycotts, the pressure is mounting with each passing week.
