[Albion] Rainbow Amex

[Gazwag]

I had to resort to 5 live for the game today as a long drive back from the North and they commented how exceptional the rainbow in the West Stand was and looking at the photos I agree.

East stand

Kylie apparently was double booked maybe next time lads.

The rainbow laces is very worthly but from the welcome matt to the cards on seats with instructiions of what you have to do all seemed a bit contrived to me. People should be able to go to a football without being told what to do when they do. As I said all worthy but a little less preaching

Of course it was 'contrived'. How else do you get the message across to those who need the message the most? There didn't appear to be one gap in the East Stand Rainbow which suggests that everybody was happy with holding up a piece of coloured card for about a minute. There was ample opportunity for Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble and other Neanderthals to not join in in a once a year event to help with inclusivity in our society.

People still had a choice. If they didn't want to go to the effort of holding a piece of paper in the air for a whole minute, I'm sure they wouldn't have done it.

Let’s face it, due to where it’s situated the club should be leading the LGBTQ conversation, not following it. Yesterday they did that. Well done the club.

Looked pretty decent from the North, has to be said

Agree. I thought it looked great.

Sends out a nice positive message.

What’s not to like?

Presumably you feel the same way about the pre-match Remembrance Day pitch wreath laying stuff, which, by your judgement, is also nothing whatsoever to do with football.

In fact, strange as it may seem, I do. There are plenty of Remembrance Day celebrations in cities, towns and villages all over the country (and I am very supportive of them), but in my opinion you do not need Remembrance Day commemorations at sporting events as well. Where do you draw the line? What deserves to be celebrated/remembered/recognised at football matches and what doesn't? It's a bit like the black armband discussion and the minutes silence/applause discussion.

Maybe it was just too good for us commoners

Probably worth mentioning that all of the posts on this thread that have been attacked by others for overt or snide homophobia were made by people I have had on ignore for some time. All of them.

People are getting confused, this was a vote to see if we should show support for the rainbow laces campaign or not.

Supporters were asked to hold up a coloured piece of paper if they wanted to support the campaign and to refrain from doing so if they were against.

These were the results:

Looked really good on telly.

I was on a Malaysian stream and was delighted that this was being beamed directly into screens over there.

It's days like this I miss HB&B.

Yes did you see all those stewards dive into the crowd hooking out people who didn’t hold a banner up and then being frog marched off by the police...disgusting

Well, judging by some of the responses on this thread we'll be having this campaign for many years to come still. For all those against being "preached to" by anti-homophobia or racism campaigns there is one very simple way of avoiding this. Stop being homophobic and racist. Easy.

So with no one at all holding coloured paper in the South, West and North Stands, the No’s have it with a 3-1 majority.

In protest at my forced participation I deliberately held my yellow paper upside down!!

I noticed that. Talk about bringing the whole club into disrepute.
