Whilst I think some of the rtks ideas seem to be a bit preachy, in terms of what you can put on banners, or wear at the match, etc, the idea of a section of approx 2000 like minded lads sitting together at the match is a fucking great idea in my opinion and something which like it or not, RTK should be patted on the back for.
As long as it doesnt become an ultra type thing where only the ultras are allowed to start songs, etc, and block 1892 wont join in with chants, they dont start or approve of, then Im all in favour. Im sure it wont tho, and people need to stop being so fucking negative and at least give the idea a chance.
I wont be dictated to by any cunt, if i want to sing the national anthem at a cup final i will, if i want to wear reebok instead of retro adidas i will, but if the rtk and block 1892 improve the anfield atmosphere at a wet and windy home game against boro by at least getting some singing going, then it has to be a good idea surely?
1892, fucking boss idea, and people need to get over this whole RTK hating thing and give it a chance.

Obviously you haven't listened or read have you. I don't think anyone on this forum thinks what they're doing is a bad idea. But what makes RTK so disagreeable is the rhetoric that surrounds their entire campaign. The preachy, holier than thou, ethos, filled with strenuously-denied hidden agendas that are laced with local xenophobia.
Then there's the fact that they're unelected. They elected themselves as a group to speak for me and everyone else, to tell me how I should dress, behave and sing. What we have emerging is a clear emergence microcosm of a despotic regime lording it over our supporters. Many on here, myself included, are simply using their dissenting voice as a tool to keep them in check.
If this works, then fair play to them. The idea itself is a good one; the way it's being promoted, bad. If they stopped being such pompous arses, and stopped doing things like trying to name parts of Anfield after themselves, then more people would get behind them, but the chances of that happening are slim and none.
