One of the first organised protests outside the West stand against Sheffield Wednesday; about an hour before the game as CAFC fans were gathering, I said to a guy this could bring energy and unity to the frustrated fanbase ? He said long term it will divide and separate. This does seem to be correct as a stubborn Owner who views from afar and runs a professional football club like a second rate Holiday Centre. Why would you make the chalet maid the CEO overnight ? We have a schism now in our support which has so many strands. From Rodney Charlton Trotter to Sue Parkes. Bromley John view is echoed by many (not 98%) what we protesters have to realize is for some they just see the match as 90 minutes of dubious entertainment: like going to watch the same film every week when you know the same sad ending is going to happen but you just go for the pop corn and sitting in a cosy seat in the dark. We have more schisms than the Labour Part Under Jeremy corbyn.
National Express coach from Bournemouth was running 40 minutes late, so missed our connection at Cannon Street. Arrived in the ground just before kick-off. Was sat next to a friendly, chatty old boy of around my age, who was there with another chap with his 2 granddaughters. Heard them exchange a couple of words then they both turned to me and asked in genuine bewilderment, what shirt is that? I briefly explained in a precis of the support the team not the regime stance, which was met with bemusement from the chap next to me and an expression of incredulity from granddad. Didn't see any shirts around me at first then realised there were a couple, but they were wearing fleeces/jackets over the top!

Not a major problem, but learning for next time could be more people mustered.
