    Do we not want to keep the link to the just giving even after reaching the target as it could be used towards anything else we may need ie abbomf flyers?
    I personally would leave it to JB to decide if he wants to carry it on.

    Can't argue with that KK I'm sure Jon will have a read through then make a decision.

    Shame that rule only applies to this thread. Wonder if that's because you support the protest ?

    Why because he is sceptical about all this. Seems very unfair to me

    Give it a rest !! You can say anything you want on this forum. Insult anyone you want. But now because it's a protest against the club don't disagree or you are banned. !!

    Sorry but I disagree. You allow anyone to say anything they want on this forum. Oh wait a minute but not on this thread !! You quoted earlier you had 1000+ members. How many many have donated ? 5% ?

    I have announced on twitter we have reached the target, and will let them know when the flyover will take place.

    And as I said it gives those who donated a sense of doing something and if that's all people want then that's their choice to spend the money how they wish but the implication seemed to be there was something wrong with people who won't donate money just to give themselves that sense.

    When its something that has failed elsewhere and has killed the atmosphere in the stadium (You will not get a big cheer, you will get a small cheer and lots of booing of those cheering. And you also will have a situation beforehand where everyone is just waiting for it to happen) then people are entitled to not want involved

    Show me one example of it working? Oh wait you can't.

    Just look at the response to this on twitter for example, while some support it more are against it. The minute something divides the fanbase so much you have lost. You need something that brings the majority together otherwise its easy to ignore.

    As a United fan since the Glazers took over, there has been a lot of the 'protests' (and even before with Murdoch trying to buy us) be it protests, setting up a new club, 'fan' takeover attempts via the Red Knights, a few plane banners etc ect and all have failed massively in what they tried to achieve. The one thing that had the biggest impact is one of the simplest that didn't impact anything onfield either directly or indirectly and which had the most fan participation and that was the whole 'Green and Gold' campaign. It allowed the fans to express their views without impacting the players while it was a really visible act that was fairly cheap to setup and could be done long-term. It also didn't really achieve anything (although did force a year long process of designing a new strip to be cancelled as they were going to do a Green and Gold Newton Heath kit before that started and couldn't obviously have the club seeming to support getting the Glazers out)

    Let's not forget that half these Bradford city fans were around 7-8 years ago.... to be honest they don't really care about the club, just the attractive prices they offer.

    So if it splits fans what's really to lose?

    But that’s not true is it? @abbomf@abbomf doesnt agree and has explained why. He didn’t get a ban because he wasn’t being a WUM about it.

    Besides, he hasn’t been banned per se. He has simply been blocked from ‘contributing’ to this thread. Nothing wrong in that. This is the first step that fans have made to ‘voice’ their concerns. Protests were planned and never happened. So the basis of kick-starting action with a fly-over banner is a great idea. But then you have those that simply won’t back it and make excuses as to why.
