Oh dear. URGH, you can almost smell the lack of education. Picture 1 - Looks like they outsung the opposition, and as we all know that means they effectively won Picture 2 - "I am smoking a FAYG"

In the 90's a small group of United fans started to make others uncomfortable at games and shouting racist abuse. This was totally unaceptable and ended up with one going to court and others being banned. Correct course of action. Had they kept there views away from CUFC they would not have been banned.

www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Home/Support-floods-in-for-Cambridge-counter-march-04072011.htmI trust the line referencing members of CFU refers solely to members of cfu signing as individuals , and not as CFU the organisation. I give CFU a mandate to represent my views en masse relating to cambridge united FC , BUT CFU does not have a mandate to express any view politically on my behalf. Could D m-j clarify CFU members signing or is it once again poor journalism ? This is a very important point, this weekend has proved that United fans have diverse views (as it should be), are CFU representing all? Any United fan can be a member of CFU, whatever political,Racial background or personal view. CFU should only be about Cambridge United. CFU invited UAF to the abbey before, why? Can we have an official response on this. There is no justification, in my eyes, for UAF being involved with CFU. As for Saturday, I was enjoying the sunshine on the North Norfolk Coast, only other family on the bit of beach we were on, were from Cambridge and U's fans. Hoorah we rule east anglia. As it happens I also spent saturday on the north norfolk coast! CFU please answer the questions asked of you they're quite simple - aren't they?

Isn't CFU supposed to be promoting community ties. Its a stupid question to ask. Isn't it obvious they would take a positive rather than negative approach...

"CFU please answer the questions asked of you they're quite simple - aren't they?"
As I said before - I don't see what CFU have to answer to. The article clearly states "members of Cambridge Fans United have all added their names......"
Do you really need CFU to clarify it was "members of CFU" and not the organisation as a whole who signed the petition? I think the article is very clear.
BTW Do you and others who think CFU should steer clear of anything political have a problem with CFU and the football club backing the 'kick it out' campaign?

i no at least 7 guys who were on the march that stand at the back in the abbey every week. and most of you probably no them. doesn't mean they are bad people though. 'doesn't mean they are bad people though' course not... I wonder how could anyone come to that conclusion after all they did go on the 'nice persons' march there was a small minority on a peacefull protest

How is siding with UAF- another extremist group positive? you could argue EDL are a community group and CFU should also embrace that organisation - the best stance is to keep out of it and give no credence to political bodies. CFU are a supporters football body not a political organistation . I wish to know because If CFU has a political alignment of any kind I intend to cancel my membership.

Are you talking on behalf of CFU? there is an inference in my mind that CEN wants to link that statement to CFU - personal interpretation I guess of words why mention CFU in the press at all if individuals? Kick it out campaign - old hat and a failure in my opinion and Yes I do a true community group is embracing all views and bring together under a consensus , wouldnt it be a dul world if we all thought the same , of course there some who are incapable of thought . Have you ever considered thatr extremist groups EDL/UAF with extremist views etc are actually a benefit to government as they keep the debate on the perimeters of society and not a core political discussion. How has France's ban on muslim headgear in public fared - can you imagine the outcry if our government attempted similiar legislation? or australia where immigrant need to prove their net economic worth? EDL are wrong so are UAF, but this country does not have the resources to cope with influxes - we need to cull the sink estate population of scroungers who never adapted to the change from a mainly industrial manual workforce and start again - yes i do mean cull. Irrespective of origin UK needs people who are prepard to contribute and nor sit on thier a*rses . give benefits to workers on low wage by all means , but nothing to scroungers.

Warren, why don't you simply not be involved with CFU if you feel so strongly.
Like it or not tolerance is a mainstream political view and bigoted drivel simply reinforces the need for respectable organisations to promote inclusiveness.

Like it or not tolerance is a mainstream political view and bigoted drivel simply reinforces the need for respectable organisations to promote inclusiveness. I want to know the answer thats why? , I think if you read I am most definitely not bigoted , and I am annoyed at that suggestion, all who contribute are equal apart from those whose chose to sponge off others which is a different social and cultural problem more urgently in need of addressing as the racillay disturebed undertone to our society tend to find support from these places - the J Kyle audience if you like - uneducated chav trolls. Read the post, yes we live in a democracy and have freedom of choice - as a democracy the wishes of the majority should decide government, although that centrist view has led to the current mish-mash in number 10 and a labour party that has lost sight of its roots, although these days politics has degenerated into 10 second media soundbites and polarity as opposed to debate of the argument. From my position someone accusing anoother of bigotry is equally at fault. What we all have in common here in our group is CUFC as our football club and we should encompass all under that solitary umbrella. You may not agree with my perspective but that is your right.

Notice that the HEN yesterday specifically did NOT state 'members of CFU joined the UAF march', rather that the 'UAF march included groups such as CFU' which is a VERY different meaning as we all know.
I'm personally not at all comfortable with thugs wearing U's shirts joining the EDL march, or CFU supporting the UAF. As a footballing community we should stick well clear of any involvement with either side.

I will admit to you all that i am the man in the united shirt at the edl demo this saturday just gone! though i wasnt the only united fan there, infact there were atleast 10 probabily more
and id like to say im NOT racist though im very very PATRIOT to our queen, our country and our soldiers dead/alive!
i will clear this up, i was at this march and i was stopped by police on mill road yes, but in NO way was i or any other edl members violent towards anyone on the day and never will be because i/we believe in peaceful protest as we have our rights to freedom of speech! I WAS GIVEN A SECTION 27 FOR WALKING DOWN MILL ROAD CHANTING ENGLAND TIL I DIE! WTF!!! us english cant even walk down a road in our own country of england chanting english til i die, what the hell is this country coming to???
later on me and another white english were jumped by 20 muslims, is that exceptable?? if so why can muslims go acting like this and its exceptable but us white english get slated for doin what??...... hhmmmmmm nothing but having our say
yes there are a small handful of idiots who get abit drunk and do stupid things but them people are nothing to do with me and my group that attended this march.
i laugh at all of you idiots who are sayin about banning me from going to the abbey as ive been a loyal fan for the last 15 years and ive not missed a home game in the last 7 and i go to most away games so banning me or anyone else who attended this march who loves cufc would only affect the club in the longrun as im sure the club needs as much money as the club can possibly get!
IM NOT RACIST, IM PATRIOT AND WHATEVER I DO AWAY FROM THE ABBEY ON SATURDAYS IS MY BUSINESS!! I WOULD NEVER EVER EXCEPT RACISISM WEATHER ITS AT THE ABBEY OR NOT AND I WILL NOT BE TOLD IM A RACIST WHEN IM TOTALLY NOT, IM ENGLISH AND I, LIKE MANY OTHERS ARE NOT GOING TO STAND BACK AND WATCH OUR COUNTRY BE DESTROYED! I, LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE THE BALLS TO STAND UP AND MAKE OURSELVES HEARD AND US EDL WILL NOT STOP UNTIL WERE HEARD BY OUR S.H.I.T.E GOVERNMENT!
I WOULD EXCEPT BEING BANNED IF I HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG WHILE AT THE ABBEY OR ON AN AWAY GAMES BUT THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN BECAUSE WHEN IM AT THE ABBEY OR ON AWAY GAMES UNITED IS ALL THAT MATTERS!
CAMBRIDGE UNITED TIL I DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If that isn't an exceptional trolling attempt, then I can at least commend you on coming forward.
The praise must end there.
Edit: I do have to add this: you did well to accurately count your 20 assailants and ascertain their religion.

The EDL's original purpose was the removal of people like the 7/7 bombers and their mentors. While some racist elements may have attached themselves to the EDL ( the same thing happens to football clubs) they (the EDL) still have a valid message. I'm not a supporter as such, but feel they have a right to be heard without people immediatly making assumptions about being right-wing / racist etc...
