Show of support planned before PSG and Chelsea games

That was the case on Sunday, but GMP let the Rags violent demonstration happen and continue.

There was a separate and unrelted demonstration in town yesterday, which GMP were monitoring, but let it continue.

It's a fair point, but until GMP and the authorities stop all mass gatherings, they will continue.

Just one more point.

Chelsea fans demonstrated. Arsenal fans demonstrated. Spurs fans demonstrated. And to my knowledge there were no arrests. And the police allowed the demonstrations to go ahead, and watched from a distance. Why is our welcome tonight any different?
In all of those cases the police commander on the ground probably judged that the risk of public order problems from wading in to disperse the crowds outweighed the coronavirus concerns. Difficult calls and I'm glad I don't have to make them as they are damned if they do, damned if they don't.
 
This is nothing to do with any concerns about United fans infiltrating it. It would be classed as an illegal gathering under the Coronavirus Regulations. Other fans have been slated for ignoring those regulations when celebrating (Liverpool, Rangers) why should we be any different? It's personal choice to go, just as it's personal choice to break the speed limit but it doesn't make it right.
Bore off.

;-) @jrb please note the wink before you jump down my throat!! ;-)

Because we are City fans, they treat us differently.
Good luck to those who are going. Stay safe, take care and, as I've said earlier in the thread, give John Boy an extra cheer from EB!!
