The supporter group 1958 organized protests against the Glazer family's ownership of Manchester United, expressing concerns over rising ticket prices affecting long-term fans. In a recent match against Arsenal, fans wore black to signify their discontent. Following a match with Manchester City, they hosted another protest involving a sit-in, encouraging fans to remain in their seats to assert their stance against perceived exploitation by management. The protests emphasize the collective voice and rights of longtime fans amid changes in club ownership and ticketing policies.
I think the City protest is quite a decent one for us because we're going to get people to sit in their seats, said 1958 member Chris Haymes.
We're going to tell you to sit in your seat, that's your seat, that's the seat you paid for that you probably have done for the last 50 or 60 years.
We will keep going [with the protests] and City is the next one. I don't think we have done as many protests over a short amount of time previously.
MUST did a flash survey and they reckon there are going to be about 7,000 concessions, OAP people, are not going to renew their seats.
