    Pay a fiver so you don't feel guilty when the riot starts and you knock off a coppers helmet.

    Well I would presume it is to fill the stadium for a MASSIVE protest?

    Just to reply to this...

    For the past five years, in order to promote the Football for a Fiver day, the club has promoted the #FootballforaFiver hashtag as part of a concerted effort, involving supporters, in a bid to get a large amount of publicity (and potentially it trending nationally/worldwide). To highlight what a great thing such an initiative is, and the community that is willing to support it.

    It received a great response, was a lot of fun and prompted some genuinely funny comments. I'm sure there are old threads on it on CL.

    This year, the club hasn't bothered, presumably fearful of the reaction. Which is probably a good decision. They've even stopped using the hashtag. So we thought it would be a bit of fun to hijack it - with a slight amendment to #ProtestforaFiver.

    The idea is to continue the message about the protests, and the reasons why, and to potentially interest other fans/media and spread the word.

    This blog talks about the travesty of what Football for a Fiver day has become more.

    Pity. I was planning to join the protest, on the basis that I got paid £5.00 to do so.

    Are you Prince Charles? You never seem to want to do anything to find out for yourself but expect flunkies to keep you informed. Or are you just on your early evening wind up?
    No, I'm not Prince Charles - that would be PC54

    Are you one of those people who clicks on articles about Taylor Swift and writes 'who?' in the comments?

    No that's me, but only because I retain hopes of becoming a High Court judge....

    Of course, having a legal career might help, but I'd like to consider myself a left field appointment.

    My missus came back from work last week and I had the Youtube app running on the TV; and it's began suggesting her videos.. bit of an awkward chat. "Didn't know you were a fan.." - "Oh yeah, of course, I love that song.. like.. that famous one.".

    (For the record, I'd been looking up her videos not because I'm a pervert - but I'd seen a few photos of her and wanted to know what she actually sang..)

    It's a list of the most popular phrases or words being posted at that moment.

    Yes, it's good for two reasons. The first reason is that it shows the hashtag campaign was well supported.

    Second, every Twitter user in the UK between 6:30 and 7pm (roughly) will have seen it and, through clicking on the hashtag, had easy access to more information.

    I opt for Tay Tay, however both seem to sound like something you'd ask a shifty looking bloke for down an alleyway.

    There's a bicycle/riding joke there, but I just can't seem to get it out. :(
