Is there a risk that if things don’t improve matches start getting cancelled?
Even if they go ahead the police presence will have to be huge you’d think. Potential flashpoints everywhere.
Thoughts?

I’d wager a guess that things will start to quieten down in the next few weeks or so. Once the weather starts turning and it starts getting colder etc and people start getting bored with it, it will probably fizzle out like most of these things do. I doubt football will get affected.

I guess certain matches could be postponed like we saw around the death of the Queen if some police forces say they don’t have the resources to police specific matches.
Premier League matches will be far more at risk.
I don’t think we are close to that territory yet.

I'd imagine a lack of football and boredom in the bored is causing it. As soon as there's some football about it will subside.

They won’t stand a chance. By the time you finish with them they’ll be flying rainbow flags , chanting “Free Palestine” and wearing Black Lives Matter t shirts! |

Let's pretend to organise a riot, police intelligance will say they are overstreched and we can postpone games till we get new players in and the injured fit.

Just be glad that we aren't playing Oldham away anytime soon Plymouth v Stoke could potentially raise some issues as its end of August, hopefully things will have calmed down by then though 🤞🏻 |

If our efforts to organise a riot are as effective as our attempts to get promotion I visualise skinheads with swastika tattoos on their foreheads sharing tea and crumpets with Muslim clerics and Jewish rabbis. |

Hopefully people are smart enough not to bring their politics, what ever they opinions may be, to the football matches. Football should be just football.

Wasn’t Brexit supposed to have sorted all of these issues out by now?
I know the NHS is fixed now but what about all these foreigners who are still walking around as though they own the place. Just wondering what’s happened.

Thing is, there's a certain element of our supporter base on Twitter who seem to revel in getting involved in politics. I think it's one of the podcast accounts, they're insufferable tossers. I really hope we've knocked taking the knee on it's head, mainly so there's no boos, but also because it served a purpose about 18 months ago but hasn't since. |
