BSM March before Swansea

Nowhere near a 1000, couple of hundred on the roundabout maybe a few hundred more to one side. This was an embarassment tbh, the club will take more notice of the boo's in the stadium than what turned out to be an incipid march not much better than the teams performance.

If you want to make your voices heard, its got to be in the stadium and right into the ears of the manager and the board.
Don't know what you are on mate. There were a lot more then 200 and they all did well. It was a success I think.

Good to see /hear.... any Idea how many black scarves were sold on the day ?? :)

Hope it is the start of things to come and another or similar follows shortly, which I would hope to be able to make.
Keep up the good work lads and lassies.

@Dannysixtysix @LGoonerHoward Police told us at least 2,000. Snaked from the top of Avenell Rd back into Elwood Street. In other words a LOT

One thing I can do is count. The only way you can get 1k on that roundabout is to have them stacked up on each others shoulders !

LOL 2000 do me a favour. It was an embarasment, after all the noise BSM made the whole street should have been full of anti board protesters then it would be 5-6k pushing it.

cool video. "choke on your caviar". lol

i posted it on my facebook page.

is there a plan for a protest next week ?

if the BSM will accept donations via their paypal, i'd like to donate 10 quid to a 'sack the board' banner.

time to take my club back lads.

Me and a couple of mates went, was probably the highlight of the day really. Numbers at the roundabout don't reflect how many were actually on the march, a lot left as it reached that point. Few Swansea fans watched and clapped as we walked by, there was one caught up in it on the bridge draped in a flag and patted a few people along, was good to see.

good to see the AST were there too.

a bit odd to see people wearing the board's crest on their hats and scarves, protesting the board. :lol:

I was on it, and there was closer to 1500 than 1000. Yes it did disperse at the roundabout, but i was taken aback as to how many were on the actual march. BEST PART OF THE DAY!!! And a big point proven when we went into the stadium to watch that shower of shit.

I was openly against the BSM to start, now im convinced, they are the only supporters group willing to speak up openly against what is happening at OUR club, and im behind them, and will against everything ive believed in the past about paying for membership to supporters group, sign up and put my money behind them. I was chuffed with what i saw on the march today, young and old, and families too with young kids, even saw a women pushing a pram, proper young gun!

Considering the last turn out (which i admit i wasnt at, but heard it was in the hundreds, this was BIG, and an absolute success, loads of press about too.

Well done and fair play to Reg and all at the BSM, as one of their initial foes I think you have done a great job at being far more open with the main objectives/opinions/griefs and getting numbers beind you. Hopefully this is just the start. I was at the game with 3 mates (one of who wasnt even a gooner) who i honestly thought would never go on such a march, and they were all shocked with the turnout but also the valid points of the protest....the actual game even highlighted them more.

So well done to all who organised and came along...lets build on it. Im gunna sign up, you should too.

Where has our Arsenal gone? :cry:

Just to keep morale up and let everyone know that it was all worthwhile I can confirm that Red & White were at the march, all was recorded up until the 'Kick the Greed out' banner was unfolded at about 2.45pm.

Well done to everyone who attended, they do appreciate it I can assure you
