Might be a good Idea to keep todays events, as it happens, all in one thread for easier reading for everybody

EDIT - Didn't expect so many to follow! I'll be at the Ricoh around 2:30pm.

Sky sports news just did a piece about the 1987 cup final.
Afterwards said about the protest against the owners and only 6000 tickets sold, of which 1500 were Southampton.
Then said some fans will be entering the stadium 15 minutes after the kick off - le tissier replied the game will be over by then.

 

[torchomatic]

Yes, we'll already be two-up.

le tissier replied the game will be over by then.

Haha, banter.

Mention on BBC live text.

Dean, Coventry, via text: "Wonder how many will be at the Ricoh? Boycott and protest against our owners. Blackburn think they have got it bad!"

Cookie is doing a good job as our eyes on the ground reporter!

 

[bamalamafizzfazz]

How many in the ground?

 

[coundonskyblue]

How many in the ground?

Cwr seem reluctant to say.

 

[bamalamafizzfazz]

I would have loved it if more noise came from outside the ground than in lol

 

[ajsccfc]

Woah, someone put some real effort in - http://img.ly/cpkd

Ive decided to follow Cookie, I hope you are an interesting guy or else you'll be on the list my friend.

 

[CovInEssex]

The protest has finished now, hasn't it?

What would everyone like a picture of? My penis is off limits.

 

[SuperFred]

can you get a pic of the sisu out banner in the saints end?

 

[Bennets Afro]

There have been videos uploaded to Facebook already

 

[Bennets Afro]

And you tube

 

[Coventry La La La]

And you tube

Links would be nice. :wave:

 

[ccfcdan]

I managed to get some Southampton fans to put my banner up in there end!! Great protest. Brilliant turn out.

 

[Bennets Afro]

I was stood next to a bloke that uploaded one. Just search you tube I'm sure you will find it.

Sitting in the casino drinking beer now. Can't do it from my phone

 

[skybluesteve76]

What a waste of time that was! I wont get that half hour of my life back. Cringeworthy to say the least.

 

[bamalamafizzfazz]

Why? please explain.

 

[SydneySkyBlue]

What a waste of time that was! I wont get that half hour of my life back. Cringeworthy to say the least.

Why'd you say that?

 

[skybluesteve76]

I was very disappointed with the turnout. And the half hearted songs by the blokes on the dodgy megaphone were embarrassing. Not sure what that will achieve. Don't understand why more people didn't bother?

 

[Skyblue4u]

The real aim was the boycott and after hearing about the really poor turn out in the ground I would say it's been a great sucess

 

[Macca]

Difficult to say what impact it has had given the lack of cup interest

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

As I am not in Cov I was not at the protest but I fully support the Guys and girls that went fair play to you !!!

THe irony is if by some chance we win this and get a big 5 club at home in the next round woill there be a boycott................. think not I am afraid

 

[bamalamafizzfazz]

I think the actual event was not the most important bit. We need to now spread the word. Go viral. Facebook, youtube etc. It makes a huge statement that our banner was in Southampton's end.

Maybe if we get a home draw in the next round we can boycott by going to watch Nuneaton or Bedworth lol.
