Even the G & G protests are a little misguided for the same reason as the end goal of these are to get rid of the Glazers but if they decided today to buckle to the protests and sell up then what? We are leaving the club open for anyone to then buy, it might be the Red Knights (But they have already lied to us and have tried to use us) but it could be anyone. And what exactly are we protesting over anyway, if its the debt then how does a new owner help? I don't see any new owner clearing the debt after they have spent anywhere from 1 to 2 Billion to buy the club. The bonds are 500mill but with the guaranteed interest the amount they will being the bond holders is over 800mill so that's the minimum to clear the debt early. The Red Knights have said they won't clear it for example @MUFCOK

Bishopsville red - in the past I would of agreed with you about season tickets being 'gobbled up', now I'm not too sure. The huge waiting list myth was sussed as b0llocks a while ago, attendances are down, tickets are now frequently advertised etc. Out of the 7 lads who I go to the match with, three are giving up their season tickets and two are considering it. This situation seems to be getting more and more common - e.g. three lads my brother works with are also getting rid, two others turned their's in at the end of last season. They are also constantly touting for firms to take up boxes - suggesting that all's not well in the prawn sandwich section either. What I'm going to do I don't know yet, what I do know is the Glazers are draining the life out of the club and nobody seems to be able to offer a solution.

Also, There seem to be a lot of people who are eating and drinking at half time also wearing green and gold scarves.... which is sort of missing the point of the protest if you ask me. missing games is a bit drastic, The green and gold protest is a simple but effective visual symbol of unity against the glazers. if we stopping buying all the pies beers and programmes from the kiosks it would hurt them much more, i could put up with going without a beer or a pie at half time more than i could not going to games or giving my season ticket up.
