Frankie 8,114 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I was there at the back of one and didn't see anyone. There was two mini buses of polis but they buggered off as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said it would be better if Club1872 had organised it, but the weather was awful today. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Vanguard Bears @VanguardBears 16h16 hours ago More A huge well done to all Bears and Bearettes who turned up at today's protest despite horrendous weather conditions. You're a credit. Irrespective of lower than anticipated protest numbers, our point has been made. We will not accept biased reporting from the BBC. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulsonic5791 408 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I turned up between 13:35 and 13:40 ( the earliest I could make it ) expecting some people to still be there. When did everyone depart? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather was awful and it should have been cancelled. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather was awful and it should have been cancelled. demo was brought to an end early simply because of the weather, sorry the late arrivals missed it , know of quite a few who turned up a bit too late, the organisers were aware this may have been the case but decided to call it a day for the sake of those who turned up at 12:45 and were soaked through by 1 o'clock. big thanks to those who made the effort whether on time or not, know not everyone could make it for the KO time, so appologies to those who made it as soon as they could but missed the demo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,252 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 In future I’d suggest this sort of protest is for Club1872 to organise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate. I agree with the spirit of your comments. However, I reckon a lot of supporters who would potentially turn up are slightly put off by some of the perceived baggage that the VB or UB for example, have; rightly or wrongly. Club1872 maybe aren't the vehicle that some of us thought it could be, but I would envisage that some of our less politically motivated supporters would feel more inclined to support something en masse that they put their name to. Something for our supporter chiefs to chew over? A big protest akin to the Main Stand/Easdale/Sommers one in Jan '15 would send a message to the BBC in London never mind Glasgow.
