We do have democracy in this country and the right to protest, and long may it continue. But with a democracy and free speech it doesn't mean we have to agree with it or support it. It's my decision, and I'm within my rights, to not agree with what the Hereford fans are doing. Same as WUSA - they're within their rights to post or not to post. Judging my how long this thread is running, why get involved? I would be totally supportive of Hereford fans protesting outside the Conference HQ, or the chairman's business, or outside the High Court.
I'll say it again, Kidderminster v Welling is nothing to do with Hereford.
What would you like Bertie, an official statement?? This is nothing to do with WUSA so not sure why you think they should comment, especially when it's a matter of opinion. If Kidderminster want to allow Hereford to do this then that is there right to do so, and there's sod all the club, WUSA or Welling fans can do about it.

To be honest I am losing the plot now - what do the Hereford fans want from us?, we turn up stand in our end and support our team, then the Hereford fans protest and clap at the 24 minute do they want us to join in or be quiet when they do it as a mark of respect? would they be offended if we scored on the 24th minute and celebrated, and being realistic here I cannot see any welling or Kidderminster fan turn their back on their team and that part of the protest in my view should be Hereford fans only.

Now this got me thinking, what is the longest ever thread on here and the greatest number of viewings...and by Wednesday will this one have taken the record? We could then display some sort of banner at the match and raise the profile of this Forum!!
"we are going to Kidderminster as Kidderminster supporters..."
Well do it from the Kidderminster end then, as for all other games I doubt home fans would be accommodated in the away section!
"We do have democracy in this country and the right to protest, and long may it continue. But with a democracy and free speech it doesn't mean we have to agree with it or support it."
Therefore, to ensure balance, if Tommy Agombar and his acolytes wished to turn up to protest against the decision that he is not a fit and proper person, which is surely HIS right, given that no LAW was broken by failing that test, (a sentence having already been discharged for the offence which causes his failure), presumably he would wind up having to be with us, as we materially would be presumed to have no axe to grind. And if that were to happen, would the libertarian legalistic attitude being used to justify the initial process be used to ensure that this was treated in the same fair spirit. I have my doubts.
Then again, I suspect no one has remotely considered this as a scenario because it is a modern day failing to only review the intended consequences rather than the unintended ones...

Just thought that WUSA, as representatives of Welling United supporters, would have been contacted officially by their counterparts at Kidderminster and Hereford about the proposed protest as a matter of courtesy.

I've not seen much of BT's coverage this season so I've no idea who they will get on? Do they get pundits related to the teams or non-league in general?

That t**t Clemmit normally runs the programme and pitchside/changing room interviews.
Steve Bower and Adam Virgo normally on commentary and/or Danny Higginbotham - the first two are ok but I don't really understand what Higginbotham is on about when I have listened to him.
Chester v Wrexham had Owen and Savage as well although I don't think Kiddy v Welling will muster celebrity fans as well.
