These will be on every seat in the away end on Sunday. Bedfordshire Police and LTFC have been very helpful in facilitating the set up and sit in afterwards. Please spread the word!

I meant the demonstration...

In fairness, it's the same as SISU repeatedly trying legal action in the hope it might one day do something.

It might get talked about on TV after the game for a bit but in reality none of the parties will probably be watching and none of them will give a shit. The same as the stuff happening after our games.

Yeah sorry I edited it when I realised what you meant. It’s aimed at everyone. That’s why we haven’t mentioned any party and have included a song that is one we’ve sang to support the team for years.

In that case what harm will it do to participate?

I didn't say there would be any harm...

Fair play for trying though!

Fair play to them. I will be very disappointed if I dont see a few loo rolls thrown on the pitch during the game like the 1970s!:woot:

The only hope is that those tuning in for a day in front of the box (Liverpool/United and the cup final) will be watching a bit early.

Well done CJ & the trust. Inevitably I suspect this will turn into anti-Sisu, but through no fault of yours. As I mentioned in my PM, do your best to get information to Sky that it's against Wasps, CCC & Sisu so they don't just say it's a protest against the owners.

While I understand your point on stuff like this as I think some of the protests and ideas have been poor, your general tone grates on me. In reality, it probably won't change the course, but it will put it in the spotlight during the game. Again, does that matter? Well maybe not, but not doing anything is worse, and I don't get the need to beat down and criticise EVERYTHING that is done in the way of protest.

I don't beat down everything in the way of protest.

I just find it strange how the Trust can come out and say it's not aimed at anybody after making statements today and having secret meetings with Wasps and the Council. Of course we know how it's aimed, I called this happening months ago.

Fair play look forward to joining in! As said above needs to be clear to the media it’s about the bastards involved not just ‘SISU out’

Fair play for doing something. Definitely agree with the above poster though it can't be just about SISU. Somehow we need to stress that we have been let down by multiple parties.

I’m not there at Luton but well done CJ and rest for organising. Hope a lot of the city (and Luton) fans join in and fair play to LTFC and local police for being understanding and reasoned in their approach.

Would be good to see this at the next home game too!! Tennis balls on the playing surface or something like this! Now the attention of the nationals is on us is the time to capitalise and keep it in the spotlight!

6 and out was usually reserved for a bit of tit cricket. Cheeky nudge on the way past was a single, but a six was the full double handful and usually a slap - end of innings. A generation ago, probably arrested and on a register for it now and rightly so

Under English law there is no time limit for prosecuting sexual assault! You could be looking at 5 years for serial offending.

I'd like to ask for 4,567 other offences to be taken into account.

Good work, I think it would be embarrasing for our support to not do anything in way of protest during the game so this is a good thing, it probably wont achieve anything but at least shows we care. Some of the "what's the point" brigade on here need to have a think about this.

I just hope we win and then protest - it will hold so much more weight. If we lose all we'll be labelled with is sour grapes and the fact we didn't protest at Wembley twice.

If we're going full grammar Nazi then I'd have pulled the comma between 'peaceful, and lawful' too
