Another ‘Glazers Out’ protest is happening before the Manchester United vs Aston Villa fixture at Old Trafford. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

With the expected takeover at Manchester United taking longer than initially thought, a fan group, the 1958, have organised yet another protest in order to try and force the Glazer family out of the club.

This has become even more emphasised now as recent takeover bid news has surfaced stating that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has offered the Glazers an opportunity to remain at the club, in a minority shareholder role. Which is exactly what fans do not want.

Here is everything you need to know about the protest occurring today.

When is the protest taking place?

The protest is taking place on the 30th of April 2023, just before the home fixture against Aston Villa. The official start time is an 11 AM meet and a march towards Old Trafford from 11:45 AM.

Where is the protest taking place?

According to the 1958, the protest meeting point is the Nags Head/Abercromby, which is a pub in Urmston, Manchester.

From there, it is around an hour and 15-minute walk to Old Trafford – where they’ll be marching onwards to with flags, banners and chanting all with one clear message ‘a full sale wanted’.

What are they planning to do at the protest?

The 1958 want to make it clear that they want this to be a peaceful and only visual protest. They want fans to be respectful to the venues and staff, along with the police who will no doubt be in attendance.

Some of the things that will take place at the protest today are as follows:

• Entering the ground after 18 minutes instead of for kick-off
• A march behind a giant ‘FULL $ALE ONLY’ banner up to Old Trafford
• Chanting/singing
• Generating traction on social media through videos and photos

If you do plan on heading to the protest today, be safe and respectful. All further information can be found on the 1958 Twitter page and we’ll also be updating this page with any further updates. So, keep checking back for more.
