Of itself, it may seem innocuous, but it misses the mood of society. Lent or whatever other religious events are occurring can be left alone too. What a daft post this is. Judging by your logic we also shouldn’t have organised the carol concert then because of religious connotations? Want the club to start abandoning any remembrance events as well? “Mood of society” - get a grip. The majority of people in this country have absolutely no issue with a community club wishing its Muslim supporters a happy Ramadan. You’re trying to justify those complaining about it. But really you just come across as someone who’s pissed off because our club have shown some respect to the Muslim community. Quote

I live in society and it's not my mood I think @Tonge moor green jacket is thinking the mood of society is the one that matches his mood Or that our society and fanbase is only white English Or something I reckon there are more people out there who don't mind, than do mind Quote

If you do have an issue with it, you’re clearly just someone who dislikes Muslims. There is fuck all wrong with it. Doing what any community club should Quote
Ani Posted February 19 Posted February 19 It is crazy that the same people on Facebook who say questioning wtf went on on Epstein Island is faux outrage are now getting wound up by the club not celebrating an event that no one has celebrated for years Quote

Happy Easter, Easter Eggs and moaning about the price of lamb and wondering who first put mint sauce on meat and then farting a lot is what a good traditional British values inspired Easter is all about. Bollocks....6 points is what its all about 😀 Quote

Duck Egg Posted February 19 Posted February 19 We're probably not helping ourselves when we have threads above this one entitled; Prince Andruw & Donald Trump dead cat on is head Quote
Not in Crawley Posted February 19 Posted February 19 To be fair the Wigan post got the same amount of idiots; and given the percentage of their fans I think they win mongest supporters. Plus their club's static for the post was way worse than ours. Quote
Not in Crawley Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Add Huddersfield's to that. Always some comedian saying 'is that our new striker' Maybe TMGJ was right about Mahmood. Quote

Like mine and everyone else's. Reading the room isn't difficult. Moreover, the points I made specifically about the club and its fan base will be correct. You can argue and pontificate all you like, but it won't change anything. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 20 Posted February 20 More information. Asian, British Asian etc make up 20.1 % of Bolton's population. Based on 20000 people in attendance, that would require 4000 each game. It doesn't happen. The make up of that Asian mix includes over 9% Pakistani. By that metric, almost 2000 would have to be from Pakistani community. Which they are not. Hence the fan base is not representative of the ethnic mix of the town. If anyone doesn't want to accept the facts, that is up to them. Nevertheless, they are facts. If the club believes in equality etc, then celebrate all. Or leave it alone. After all, as was discussed some years ago, football becomes the common factor, effectively the de-facto religion at that time. Other aspects of culture, race etc should not be relevant. Making them such risks introducing division. Stick to the football, and the fans won't bother about anything else- the white shirt or scarf or coat is enough. Quote
Popular Post Jol_BWFC Posted February 20 Popular Post Posted February 20 Maybe the way the club are looking at it is that if we can tap into the Asian/British Asian population of Bolton, 20,000 fans could become 25,000 fans. A sell out each week, extra merchandise, more money to fund the club. It’s clear that our hierarchy see the club as part of the community, so it absolutely makes sense to reach out to all parts of the local population. Quote

But how many Pakistani's attend Bolton matches is of absolute irrelevance to wishing folk happy Ramadan. Maybe more will attend in the future and many might still have an interest in the club. The club have been quite consistent with their messaging. Surely you're not arguing they're only honouring Muslim events? If you want the club to stick only to the football then I'm confused as the why you didn't say something when we honoured remembrance Sunday, or had a carol concert. Or questioned why we do all sorts of work in the local community. We're a community club. If a minority of muppets have a moan or a rant on a forum because we said something respectful to some Muslims then fuck them. The club doesn't just belong to them and they certainly don't represent the views of our fans. Hopefully the club just cracks on regardless. Quote

As long as the club dont try to stop us singing ' when the whites go marching in' etc they can do what they want for me. Quote
Ani Posted February 20 Posted February 20 The club under FV has always said the club is part of the Bolton community and wants to build better links and relationships with the community. It is a message that I thought most people were pretty happy with. Quote
