I take it you're offering? Like you, my instinct would be to be more demanding and ask these sort of questions. I also know that if I did I'd be ignored and would not be invited to take part. They don't have to tell me anything even if I do supposedly represent a certain part of the fanbase...

Even if they did move the segregation would then just be in the corner at the other end and those in Singers Corner would migrate next to them again. But they'd have the sun in their eyes.

I'm not dismissing their concerns. I've said earlier in this thread that it will have some negative consequences. But if you have concerns you have to have something to back them up. And much of the hard evidence on the effect of immigration is that it has a positive effect, and where it does...

No wonder it's bloody crowded up there - almost as many cops and stewards as fans!

Fair enough, the graph shows that more people want immigration to come down that go up. But you don't get to then extrapolate that as being the will of the people by ignoring those in the middle. It is literally your comprehension of the words. "Remain the same as it is" is not a don't...

You'd think Parker would know how to make something close knit.

There argument would clearly be that if there are empty seats in the stadium why have fans close together and allow them to antagonise each other. What they don't get is that segregation actually emboldens them to antagonise fans even more because they think they're safe. Like the dickheads at...

No, you don't ignore the people in that bracket. It's asking people if they want more or less immigration. If you're going to make the statement that most people want less immigration you have to only take those that specifically say they want immigration to be lower and put it against the...

It literally doesn't say that at all. Nowhere does it even hint to suggest that people want less immigration. It hints much more strongly that they don't. It's not some left-leaning consensus twisting it, it's literally what it says. It's an absolute statement - "remain as it is". That...

I would hope fans would recognise the monumental achievement just to have got there and how difficult it would be initially for us to even begin to compete. We'd have to go up recognising that relegation straight back down, along with some heavy defeats along the way, would be a very highly...

No. You're not reading things properly. You're suggesting that I'm saying the middle section want more immigration. I'm not. I'm saying they don't want less. So look at what it actually says. We can both agree about the other four sections. 'Increased a lot' and 'increased a little' clearly...

Or you could say that over half of the population do not want immigration to be reduced.

And the reason there is this impression of us being a pushover is because of c***s like Braverman peddling it in the media to push the buttons of their (hard)core supporters, when the reality shows we're not. If anything we're really harsh on migration, and asylum in particular. Many of us...

I've always been of the mind that success breeds stability rather than the other way round, but at the same time you have to give a manager at least a decent amount of time to change things. If they have a different system they need to be able to bring in the players that fit it etc. Watford...

I think part of that will also be about who is performing best at any given time. Decades ago when we were the only WM club in the prem apart from Villa we'd have had a much bigger following in those nearby areas. Now the tables have turned and you've got Leicester doing well in the Prem (and...

Mixed with these shorts

Let's be thankful we're not from Ipswich having that over the players stomachs

It seems that strategy is perpetual new manager bounce.

Exactly. They want to look like they're being tough on immigration and so peddle the narrative that it's their fault. But the last thing they want to do is actually fix the problem, because if they did they'd lose a big part of why certain people vote for them

Not that I'm suggesting Bilic is a decent manager, but I think that often with owners like Watford's they seem to want to decide what players they sign and the manager is just another employee there to get results with what they give him, rather than finding out who the manager wants/needs in...
