So it looks like Oldham are ignoring the petition

[Steben]

Just came on to see if there was a thread already about this but can't see one.

The rapist Ched Evans will be playing this weekend. I am utterly disgusted - what more can be done?

If they don't listen/agree to the moral arguments, the only thing they would listen to as a business are financial implications so loosing sponsors/fans boycotting.

Thanks sooty, I had missed that.

Now it looks like this is actually happening I want to know if there will be any protests, I want to be there if do.

I'll be there too. I'm full of pregnant rage. I'm so disgusted.

If they gave two shits they wouldn't have taken him on in the first place.

A petition will do nothing.

I think they are announcing it now as the Paris situation will deflect attn away, and they probably think people will just shut up about it now.

I for one won't be - and I hope sports direct pulls their sponsorship and some of the other players speak out.i pretty sure my DH wouldn't want to work with a rapist
