I’ve seen a couple of those things. I know they’re going for an impact.
"I saw a couple of them intervening in Wimbledon, and obviously this looks like it could be a perfect spot.” Just Stop Oil’s lead funder, Dale Vince, has already warned that any high-profile sport is on the group’s target list meaning they could opt to disrupt this week's event at Royal Liverpool on the Wirral., Open organisers hope to avoid a situation where a golfer may opt to take matters into his own hands, similarly to that of cricketer Jonny Bairstow who carried a protester off the pitch.
