Oh the blades would have been infinitely more organised and militant. It's what happens when one half of the city appeals more to the comfortable middle class rather than the working man, but thats a whole other discussion.
Everyone saying "its a start"
Well it is, but probably the end of all that as well since all the extremist fans with the balls to do that kind of thing will be arrested and banned from the stadium for life. All thats left is the scabs who turn up every other week and laugh while while other people try and protest properly.
I've said it before
If the current state of the country and actual day-to-day hardship isn't imploring the average football fan to take to the streets and get militant, what makes us think the state of a football club will?
We're all numbed. Me included.
We're all sleepwalking into oblivion in more ways than one.
Very impressive, young goalkeeper who is suited perfectly to the modern game. He also meets the homegrown quota to boot. He's going to be worth a hell of a lot of money to someone. Alas, sadly, probably not to us.
I think he probably does at this point but these things are never straight forward, especially when you listen to Reading fans about their process.
Plenty more false dawns to come before its bought i reckon.
What makes you think the same people who don't protest their bills going up year on year and tax going down the toilet and NHS going to the cleaners, would protest their football club having a tough time?
We are an apathetic nation.
We'll learn, though.
