Remember when the fans were gathered outside the Town Hall all those years ago in support of the planning application for the HJ to be built? Now, try and develop that thought and you might have some empathy with the people outside the ground tonight.

i can't see how moaning at Wire fans or the club will help them get their jobs back. I'd try Gordon brown or spend their evening on Monster.com or jobcentreplus.co.uk looking for new jobs

I don't think they're after their jobs back. I think they want treating fairly and their wages from a certain period from the company, who incidentally made a large profit recently. So it would seem to be simily spite that they are not giving the workers what they are owed. I think the protest is to send a message to Vestas and also to try and persuade the club not to use them as the shirt sponsor, thereby showing Vestas theirs no action without consequences.

they need to head to Downing street not Winwick Street

Er ....... what jobs?

They're not starting till 7:15 anyway - half the crowd will already be inside (especially in the South stand - myself included).

Has Vestas been nationalised?

Nope. It's not a bank.

this protest will probably blow itself out.

the ones they had

Protest conga?

Nope, I still couldn't give a rats ass.

Plank.
