    Cracking coverage again.

    A proper organisation in charge of the national sport might wonder why so many clubs seem to currently be in open conflict with their supporters or even do something about it? But we only have the FA.

    Perhaps we can have a combined demo at the Den....or perhaps not.

    Was queuing for a drink at HT time today and heard two young lads, about 10/11, saying how they missed the protests.

    That is all the convincing anyone should need that it's time to ramp them up again

    Buying a drink at HT? Putting money into Roland's pocket? I didn't think that was allowed?

    Is it worth advising people whether to buy a ticket *cough* child's *cough* for the game or not? We don't want loads of people buying match tickets only to find the protest is outside the ground?

    Or would that give the game away?

    Same question as before? Anyone?

    I'll be buying tickets as hopefully there will be 90 minutes of noisy demonstrations in the ground and directed at you know who.

    I'll give you an answer if no one else will. If you are not a child then don't try to enter the stadium with child's ticket.

    Would you buy a child's ticket for the cinema or for a train or aeroplane journey?

    What happens to the credibility of the protests when KM can, accurately, announce that the protesters even purchased children's tickets and entered the ground illegally? Or worse have people on the turnstiles turning away adults with the wrong tickets so that they can't get in at all or have to, ultimately, pay twice to get in.

    It's probably only a few quid difference anyway.

    For the record, before I get slated, I have no idea if it is illegal to enter the ground with a child's ticket if you are an adult but that won't matter if the club announce that it is because most people won't bother to check it they will just accept it.Then, within, a week there will be people pointing fingers at CARD and accusing them of 'encouraging' fans to enter the stadium illegally.

    I know we hate RD and KM but we need to be completely untouchable, and that doesn't include dodgy tickets, in my view.
