Gaz_Oafc Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) THIS IS INTENDED AS A KEEP SAFE WARNING AND NOT TO START A DEBATE Apologies if this is the wrong place to put this, but amid the ongoing trouble across the UK at the moment...I'm hearing talk of using BP as a meeting point for (what I gather) right-wing protest groups over the coming days. I'd imagine the club will be fairly powerless to stop this but I know Frank WILL NOT condone any of this going on, especially at Latics! There was a meet allegedly planned for last night that apparently fizzled out into nothing. I'm posting this information in good faith based on information given in a non-latics related security briefing I was in on at work this morning. If your planning to attend BP for anything Latics related, please stay aware and keep safe! Edited August 6 by Gaz_Oafc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 They locked the gates, closed gym and Andy's Man Club around 5pm yesterday. I was under the impression that protests were planned for Wednesday and away from Latics, although it's always subject to change with mob rule...

Yes, I've heard similar about the protests being away from BP tomorrow, although not too far away. Just the briefing today mentioned that there was talk of using BP as a meet up point before moving on to the protest location. I work at the hospital and we were contacted last night to ask for any remaining cars on Latics car park to be moved. Worrying times!

Ackey Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 is out, he's twitching, he's already got his sticky little mits all over this thread! So, please, be on your best behaviour. It's a very sensible (and much appreciated) post from Gaz. Not an open door. There is no an excuse for hate speak anywhere, and it will especially not be tolerated on OWTB. Have a good 'un. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live only a short walk from the ground, it's a concern. If I knew what time I'd go out for the day in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a pain to quit as some sites, especially football clubs, only use Twitter for things like MBM score updates. But I’ve mostly found a way to do it and deleted my account. (RSS feeds for news, though irritatingly Latics removed their RSS feed with the recent website redesign, and nitter.poast.org for ad-free, account-less browsing of Twitter feeds you can’t replace.)

There were a lot of demo warnings put out recently, something like a hundred nationwide which turned out to be untrue. I’m sure there was a suggestion of one starting In Westwood. As far as know it didn’t happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
