🗣️THE WARNINGS AND THE TRUTH Four years ago we warned where this was heading. We warned about the marginalisation and eradication of generational match-going Reds. Nobody listened. We warned about the Americanisation of our game. Nobody cared. We warned that if Ratcliffe didn’t change direction, he’d become another Glazer in all but name. Polls said give him more time. So we did. We even postponed a protest at Arsenal because fans wanted to give him more time. Again we got abuse. That decision demotivated lads in The 1958 who have sacrificed years of their lives, time, money and energy fighting for this fanbase and never asked for a thing in return. Some lads had personal abuse. Not after sympathy, those are the facts. We never asked for nothing in return. We always preferred to be pissing from the outside in. Stood shoulder to shoulder with you. We have banged on about unity since day one. And for the last 12 months we have spent an unbelievable amount of time trying to make it happen. Meetings Calls Messages Statements Campaigns Endless frustration Meanwhile some fans wanted to be edgy. Some said it wasn’t their fight. Some thought it would never affect them. Well look around now. Ticket prices. Season Ticket sanctions. Long standing Reds treated like suspects. Time served Reds receiving banning orders. Concessions disappearing. More hospitality. More premiumisation. A future built around revenue, not supporters. The chickens have come home to roost. We take no pleasure in saying it, but we have got far more right than wrong. And we wish we hadn’t. This was never about being proved right. It was about stopping it before it happened. So now the question is simple. Are you finally United around what we have been warning about since the day we formed? Wake up and smell the coffee. This is your Club. This is your fight all generations all ages. Are you with us, or against us? Time is running out fast. STAND BY. The 1958 🇾🇪
