It's because our fan-base is very patriotic and a small number fall into this politicisation of the poppy that's happened in the last 5-10 years. The working class UKIPPERS/Brexiteers. Every year it's the same crap, "the poppy is becoming extinct, make sure our heritage and soldiers are honoured". THEY ARE ALREADY. Making people feel bad about not wearing it for 3 straight weeks does my nut in. It's cretinous journos at the examiner as their way of stirring up some good old fashioned nativism. Because that's not an entirely dangerous thing in the Huddersfield area in recent history. Shame on them. Seen people call James McClean IRA supporting!!
What is that based on? British soldiers killed a lot of innocent Irish on bloody sunday. If they don't want to wear it, I'm not going to make a song and dance about it.
