    I would imagine that the first people to find out about this would be a local nursery.

    Protests?? Do people not have work. Or is it the retired all getting in the mood for a ruck.

    So internally we hear Chris Powell is sacked and the first inkling is that a local nursery (I can't thing of one in Sparrows lane) has to shut down because of anticipated demonstrations.
    Sounds like big bollocks to me.

  • Maybe it's the kids that are going to riot.

    Apparently young Billy has thrown some lego bricks at the training ground cafe, before leaving a shitty nappy lying outside the gates.

    Firstly, how would anyone at a nursery know anything about the internal goings on at Sparrows Lane? Has SCP been having loud conversations on his mobile in the car park, yelling "Fuck you, you Belgian twat!"?

    Secondly, even if someone did manage to glean some relevant info, do we really think that a nursery will contact all the parents and tell them they're closing on the off chance that Nathan drags himself out of bed and turns up with a sign saying "Down with this sort of thing"? It will cost them something like £50-100 per child, really piss of the parents and may not even be possible.

    I don't think CE is the sort of bloke who would post this if not a bit of truth in it

    i suspect this is 2+2=27

    There is a nursery down Sparrows Lane. There was rumour last night of a few fans planning to go down the training ground in some 'please stay Yann protest' i think.

    I suspect this has been mentioned and allowed to escalate, ridiculously.

    Is AFKA in work today?

    True or not. Either way the notion is hilarious.
    Surely schools have insurance against acts of p'd off football fans?

    How many fans at a time can go in the newsagents on the corner of Sparrows? Should we bring our chocolate bars and crisps with us or risk queuing outside the shop?
    Might bring my flask. Anyone for bovril?

    To be fair, the threat of children rioting after a beloved football manager is sacked is a very real threat. By 5pm today expect everything to be a little bit sticky and roads blocked as far as Blackheath due to napping children on the road, their finger painted placards strewn across a destroyed street. You have been warned

    People being hit by thermos flasks and smothered by blankets.

    Just contacted my mate again. The story is that his son, has to be picked up early from a nursery in Sparrows Lane as there is going to be a big announcement/ potential protest at training ground.

    I would say that relates to Yann then looking at AFKA's comments.
