Football Against Facism

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

So presumably you want a blanket ban of political parties holding meetings at BP?

Yes.

Especially if they’re going to use the facilities to frame the club as being supportive of their party.

Unless of course, it is….but that’s a whole other can of worms.

You can support the Brexit Party all you want, but you can’t say that this has been a really great PR decision from the club.

Quoted from grimsby pete

Fenty has said we need to get more revenue into the club apart from a match day and when they do the Fishy goes banana's.

Don't blame the club for trying to get extra revenue .

As fans we have no say in who rents Blundell Park and that is correct otherwise it would never be hired out.

But it’s more than just ‘getting revenue in’ Pete.

It’s a feather in the cap for a political party, and a divisive one at that. They have milked the fact that they’ve rented the facilities completely and are using the club to promote themselves. It’s my personal opinion that a local, community football club should not be letting that happen.

It’s just another fantastic decision from the brains at BP with no thought about the long term impact. It’s clear the decision some FANS thought it was beyond the pale - the club can probably survive without £20 here and £18 there. What about the commercial side though? Do people think Young’s will be mega keen to see Farage wafting their logo? The club is supported by hundreds of small local business, they’d better hope those businesses are happy with this new association.

That’s an awful lot of flat caps and scratch cards to sell if some big sponsors pull out...

Just a question did the club give the said shirt to Farage or did he buy it himself  and have his name put on when he visited the club earlier in the week in his Rolls ?

Did you get banned from twitter for insulting some melts or have you given up on it entirely?

Nah just binned it mate, bad for the blood pressure.

This is just another own goal by the club. The politics is utterly irrelevant. Unfortunately the OP set this thread off with a one-sided politically divisive rant instead of looking at what really matters and sadly others follow suit with nipple for jumble insults.

To allow one party leader, Attila The Hun or Chairman Mao or whoever it is, to use the club facilities  is just incredibly naive at best and stupid at worst.These are politicians, they are expert in milking a situation for maximum effect. That is their day job.

It is hard to believe that Coun Fenty was not aware and gave his blessing. If not then he really is dafter than I thought and that takes some doing, but for certain someone's head should roll.

Next home match- Tory and Brexit in the stands  Labour,Remainers,Greens,Fascists,and non-democratic Liberal Dems in Toilets  

Maybe in the coming weeks the Cons , Lab, Lib, and Green party will hire the venue seeing how much interest the Brexit party got from hiring it.

First of all I doubt very much that he bought it. He's a taker not a giver otherwise the hypocritical twit wouldn't be drawing his salary as a Euro MP

All he needs is a squad number on the shirt and judging by recent team selections Jolley would probably put him in the team next week
