I’ll be taking the knee in the Crown Jewels when the Boss finds out I am getting a season ticket this term.

I'd like to know before I buy my season ticket if bending the knee and black power clenched fist salutes are to take place

Why would that have a baring on you supporting your side?

I regard the BLM and the clenched fist salute as racist

Hopefully we do take a knee and a few more people share your view so it's easier for the rest of us to snare a season ticket.

It's only a personal opion but I think it's wrong.
I worked for a Manager who was a lay preacher but during the week was a total txxx.
I always opposed Apartheid, did not buy South African goods when 21 at Cape Town for a month waiting to go to the Gulf on a tanker limited my spending.
At 20 in Barrow walking home at midnight stopped and searched using the suss laws if you argued would have been arrested and beaten.
Yes people of colour are singled out but lot of white people have opposed that.
So not really a supporter of taking the knee deeds are needed not symbolism.
Racism is every where and it's both ways .

I wasn't wanting to start a debate about racism in or out of sport. It is just my opinion that taking the knee doesn't belong on the football pitch it is political

'Black lives matter': an apolitical concept supported by 99.99% of the population
'Black Lives Matter': a radical Marxist race-baiting outfit with that diverts its funds to political campaigns

We all support the former. Few people, properly informed, would support the latter.
Please keep football a politics-free zone. We come to the football to get away from all that.

So would you oppose Barrow players wearing poppies on their shirts?

Totally in favour of poppies. However since the England team were refused permission to wear them as they were political then BLM badges and bending the knee should also be banned. I pay to watch a football match

Right getting back on topic for those watching from the stand I think a seat reservation is going to be included when you buy a season ticket. A sensible idea I think.
