Man Utd fans plan old shirt Glazer protest

Manchester United fans are planning an 'old shirt' protest against the Glazer family.

The Telegraph says the green-and-gold campaign, symbolised by the wearing of scarves in the colours of Newton Heath, United's forerunners, proved a hugely successful and visible image of anti-Glazer sentiment among the club's supporters.

But a proposed boycott of season tickets proved less successful, with United chief executive David Gill revealing this week that the club sold 51,800 season tickets this summer, a drop of only 2,200 on 12 months ago.

Fans' groups are now planning a protest that involves supporters wearing United shirts that pre-date the Glazers' 2005 takeover.
