I know we don't have all the same opinions.... But couldn't help feeling a little disappointed with those who didn't walk out. Don't want to start an argument. Just saying.
Walked out on 74 and joined the protest. 25 minutes later I walked out of the protest because my daughter didn't like the aggression of some louts towards those leaving after the game. I was disappointed that people stayed in, but the abuse was way over the top and utterly divisive.
I walked out and heard the cheer for Harriots goal a couple of hundred yards up the road. Not the first time us scoring a goal has scuppered a demonstration. Some people's heart is just not up for joining in and most of them seem to sit in the East stand .

Was also disappointed at the number of people who stayed. However everybody was united in the other protests and we must remain united and not be divisive.

I sit next to a few people I really really like sitting with and they seemed pretty against it, I think some people don't view the whole protest thing as something that should be done under any circumstances and I respect that.
Some idiot who's always a loudmouth in the East stand went up to a kid with his dad and told the kid to "stop fucking blowing that whistle." He had to hop over two rows to get to this kid who was about 7 and had been using a crap whistle, nothing like the refs one, he had been enjoying the game until that point. Seemed really upset after that. Helmet.
I walked out on 74. It was a strange feeling, to do that when 1-0 up. That one goal lead and rare great performance was not enough to change the way I felt before the game though. I'd committed to this show of displeasure and made the sacrifice.
Disappointing not to see Cally's goal obviously but I'll check out the highlights.
Today the team gave 100% and played well and had the chance of 3 points which might (a small chance but not completely impossible) make a difference.
In those circumstances, I didn't feel the walkout was the right strategy for today, and that the players deserved support for the last 15 minutes, which they got.
If we had played badly and were losing 3-0, then I would have joined the protest. If/when we are mathematically down again I'll be happy to take part in walkouts, delayed entrances etc

Wonder if they will be here in league one or two?
Yes I will...
Katrien must be very proud of you.
Once again... Why must there be a group for the Protest and a group for the board, there can be groups that just want to go and watch the eleven players on the pitch you know or do we all have to be sheep, following what everyone else does in life and be afraid to make our own choices... bah bah bah!!
I've no issues with what anyone does so please respect mine, I was simply confirming Beds question that there will be East Standers who will still be there in League One / Two IF we go down.
I walked out on 74 th minute- or as near as possible as the club turned the clock off to show the police threat. Pity more did not follow. A win today solves nothing, the statement by the club solves nothing. Beach ball protest very effective. Coverage by Sky very helpful. KM smirking in the Directors Box tells us everything- protests must continue.
I noticed in the club foyer, from the west stand car park after the 74 minute walk out protest, that the sky game that was on the foyer TV was Man utd vs WHU.
Stayed until the 87th min then went back to my car.
First game in 18 months, was considering the walk-out but the feeble pitch invasion made my mind up.</blockquote
Mate - if you were sitting opposite me now I would at the very least give you a mouthful of abuse - it's because of wank supporters like you that we have this situation - so, where were you in Belgium , where were you today on 60 minutes - were you at the front of the queue about to invade? Did you even bother to get out on 74 - the answer is no - you say in your seat and decided to have a go at the 'feeble' pitch invasion - well , what a feeble lump of shit you are
I left the north upper on 74 minutes, I didn't want to as I was actually quite enjoying the game and everything else going on. I felt I had to. My days of running on pitches ended at Filbert St years ago so this was something I could do to make my point against Roland and his cronies. Didn't like the slagging people got as they walked out of the west stand, but it wasn't particularly nasty.
My wife and daughter also left and standing in the car park felt very guilty as Harriot scored. My daughter hasn't seen a win since the Hull home game, including 5 fruitless away trips (she couldn't go to Sheff Weds but has been to every other home game) and there I was dragging her away from her first victory in 7 months. Was very proud when as we walked back to the car she said it was more important to leave than see a goal. 11 years old and she gets it.

Because that's the situation we've got to, in my opinion. I don't see how there can be any neutrals now.
To those who walked out on 74 - well done to everyone- for those of you who didn't - shame shame and treble shame on you - you can walk around with your black and white scarves on having a beer and burger and buying programs - you all disgust me. It's fans like you that deserve Duchatelet for ever

Never intended to walk out early

Loved the Pinnochio costumes, brilliant bit of play at short notice
