I think overall the protest went down really well and succeeded in not being divisive which is always the danger with these things. Some nice comments from Arsenal fans too such as this on skysports: On behalf of all Arsenal fans, Coventry fans you were absolutely magnificent. Cheered your...

To be honest the Emirates isn't great for creating atmosphere. The lower tier is very open and the noise just doesn't travel. Reminds me a bit of MK Dons in that sense. Arsenal fan I spoke to on the tube was very complimentary though.

Arriving about 11.30. Will probably head for Camden Town and then back into Covent Garden later on. Could get messy.

Why does it rule out Exhall? It is well within that boundary (not that I believe it will happen, but felt I should correct you on that because I am an insufferable pedant :D).

You've all seen this a million times, but no harm in another look. Forward to 7.50. Epic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Eg_ylMzZdg

Based on what has been written (the one account from someone who witnessed it) the reaction has been completely understandable and has basically just involved people saying it is out of order and oversteps the mark. Nobody is calling for a lynching. It was after all a verbal altercation of...

To be fair, that was not the point he was making. Yes, the post he was responding to said there have been insults on all sides, which is true, but all that name calling has largely been played out on the internet. This specific incident was particularly unpleasant because of the circumstances...

Well, we all have to start somewhere I suppose. Well done.

You registered to post that?

I think this is the sort of thing everyone can buy into and it creates a talking point. Seems a good idea to me.

So basically, a bunch of 40 year old fatties stood there and abused an old timer who once ran the London Supporters Club because it is believed he has attended Sixfields? Classy. This shit gets worse every day.

To be honest Nick, I'm not sure it is that hard to understand. We have a large pool of supporters. Some go every week, some go quite often, some go now and again, some go once in a blue moon. Occasionally, a game comes along, be it Chelsea or Crewe or a Charity Shield, where just about...

On a scale of 1-10, how apeshit did the city fans go?

Not worth crying about. Having said that I never understand why some players don't acknowledge the travelling supporters (unless they've been slated of course). It's such an easy thing to do, so just show some manners and do it. It's a bit like when you let someone into a queue of traffic and...

Clarke starts.

Exactly. It was very bad planning and they (I imagine the ticket office management not JS from her underground lair) made an error of judgement they will now be slated for. It was a mistake, and any suggestions that it was spite or an attempt to limit the numbers of potential 'protestors' is...

Made me smile how the club were tweeting to people who could not get through on the phones this morning to buy tickets online - this was at 10am long after all online tickets has been snapped up (they went in about 30 seconds). They don't help themselves sometimes.

The club cocked up Grendel. They should always do what they can to maximise the number of our supporters at a game like this, so they should have put tickets on general sale a lot sooner to properly gauge demand. They didn't though, and at the point they were forced to make the decision I...

I guess there must be a huge queue at the ticket office so they only made a few available online. When I looked about an hour ago there were about 600 unsold tickets.

Yet more conspiracies The bottom line is they made a mistake. They had to make a judgement call, but by spreading out the sales categories as they did they did not give themselves enough time to make the correct call. I understand the decision to an extent. We didn't quite sell the full...
