That's an interesting way of looking at it. I've had the odd drink in there, just seems like a social club where football fans meet to have a pint before the game. Not sure where the drunk chav thing comes from. Last week, City fans left a pub, to meet up with Charlton fans who had left a pub...

Not excusing anything, and I'm not sure what the high-fives comment is all about. Just trying to take a considered view, that's all.

I think you may be taking a bit of a leap there. Nobody is seeking to excuse racism, and I've never been comfortable with the use of the word 'racist' as a catch-all term for people who have views that are considered questionable. From what I know, and I haven't seen the retweets in question...

Witch-hunt. Not surprised by it, we live in an age where somehow it is more important to be moralistic than it is moral, where what you think is considered more important than what you do. It doesn't matter if you're decent, charitable, generous and moderate in your actions; if you have a view...

I wasn't suggesting this be done instead of those things, it can be done as well as. But point taken.

I'll make some enquries and update you when I have placed the order. Knowing my luck, the day they arrive SISU will sell up! Although, I'd take that.

I've emailed a couple of UK companies to get an idea, but they might turn out expensive. £3 quid is the target price, sell them for a fiver if possible. Will probably have to get them from China in the end. Cheers for the link.

That's a pity, perhaps they thought you were Leicester Tigers fans! Could go for the pink and navy from 1889 - would stand out and wouldn't clash with the colours of other clubs.

Toying with the idea of getting hold of a load of red and black scarves (colours of Singers FC 1892-1898) to sell amongst city fans. This has been an effective and non-confrontational way of demonstrating opposition to club ownership at Man Utd and currently at Charlton - but in our case can be...

Not sure what Mark Robins was doing with the team, but he has aged well (4th left).

I think what was noticeable yesterday was just how organised the Charlton fans were, and how they seemed to have funds at hand to spend on the kind of creative protest we saw at The Valley, gaining a lot of exposure and publicity. If someone has the idea to throw thousands of pork pies onto the...

Saw a lot of the black and white scarves yesterday. That idea was mentioned here a couple of years ago, but never took off. Think the suggestion was that we wear red and green (city's civic colours), although given that a local non-league side have adopted those colours now, not sure how that...

I'll match that £100. Any crowdfunding needs to be under the banner of an organisation though rather than an individual - otherwise that one person becomes a target. I know that individuals are already putting their hands in their pocket paying for banners, t-shirts, flags and perhaps we...

To be fair, I've seen trains stop and load up after city games also. I think the one hour suspension of services is no longer happening, although the offical line is that it is.

Has that come from a wealthy individual or do they have some sort of fund-raising in place?

It's a difficult one because it's not something an individual would put their name to I guess. Not sure if it could be done anonymously. The danger I guess is if there is civil disobedience and any laws are broken it might open up the people who are behind the crowd funding to scrutiny. It's...

Why do you say that? I was on the march before the game yesterday. It isn't a criticism, because it seems to me that the same small group of people have to carry the burden for all of us when organising these things. It is just an observation that protests inside the ground tend to be more...

Our most effective protest was probably the why/when protest at Arsenal. To create awareness and a photo opportunity the protests need to be inside the ground.

I'm not sure this is much of a revelation, a new naming rights deal has been on the cards for a while, it's actually overdue.
