    How would the T&A know that? They are hardly full of investigative journalists. Plus I am not happy at their reporting of fans protest.

    The T&A report on the protest is a joke, couldn't help but make themselves look amateur with terrible reporting.

    Chair of the group, Steve Hamilton, claimed there were around 300 to 400 people in support of the movement at the ground, which began just through the entrance off Valley Parade and to the right of the Family Stand.

    But it looked more like a group of roughly 50 people were stood behind a banner which read "promised progression, delivered regression, Rupp out", with a larger crowd of fans watching on nearby and sporadically joining in with the chants led by the main group.

    I'd have said about 200-250 at most from the footage of the locations. Local press seemingly doing their best to dampen any talk of this supporters uprise all week long.

    Not really embarrassing, in my opinion, as the open letter came about after letters and protest were organised.
    So from me - well done to all involved!

    The T&A in the last week or so coming out of the Bradford City debacle smelling like sh!t and the Rupp/sparks stooge.

    Yes, zero credibility.

    With respect, no matter your viewpoint on the protests today, there was about a number of city fans there today z wanting better for the whole support base

    I would recommend each to tune in itv4 for the football league highlights.

    The protests will be part of the programme.

    I’ve said before that math’s probably wasn’t a good subject for you once again you make yourself look very silly with comments like that

    Dave-Loyal was just counting those on the railings at the top of your picture-not the hundreds down below who were stood in the exact area where the protest was planned for. I was there to protest but was not stood behind the banner as there was not much room left once that area had filled up, I was stood at the side. Great effort and support from all concerned. It even inspired the team to win on the pitch today. ;)

    Well done to everyone who attended today. It was a good turnout no matter how much the club's mouthpiece Simon Parker wants to belittle it and tarnish fans as being xenophobic with inaccurate reports. And the WUMs on here - laughable. They're creaming themselves over Rupp's letter which would never have materialised if not for the threats of protests in the first place. Fan action is working, we need to keep it up.

    Can I say, to those whom participated today. Absolutely amazing and beyond the realms of expectations.

    Rupp out

    Well from my viewpoint overlooking the car park there didn’t look more than 50 or so.
    If there were more round the corner out of view then fair enough.

    You’ll probably believe the attendance as well ?
