simo Posted 31 January, 2018 Share Posted 31 January, 2018 If you really want to let the club know you have had enough I suggest you avoid our next game and hit the club in the pocket ! When the club have just got Always sfc and lord duck hunter (Ralph and les)at our next game maybe they will get the message ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKD Posted 31 January, 2018 Share Posted 31 January, 2018 He has a point. People need to show their displeasure with their feet. MP will be sacked by the time the next home game comes around, but this goes deeper than the manager. We need to sack (or at the very least bring in a senior figure above Les and Ralph) this board ASAP, but there is no chance that will happen.

Do you think they just give them away for free If anything missing an away game is better as it will actually cost the club money. Probably not WBA though as it’s probably too close and many would have already brought tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 1 February, 2018 Share Posted 1 February, 2018 Am I missing something here?! Boycott the next away game against WBA? Which I believe is this coming Saturday? Today is Thursday so today - tomorrow- Matchday. I would imagine that like me most people will have already got their preparation to go sorted 2 days before an away game, so the only thing they would be doing is shooting themselves in the wallet and foot at the same time. Club wouldn't give a tinkers cuss because they would have already have recouped the bulk away ticket allocation outlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydie Posted 1 February, 2018 Share Posted 1 February, 2018 Look we clearly are in a dire situation at the moment, OP has the right sentiment really though if not the best execution in this case. We can always boycott another game. No reason to shoot him down over it as everyone always does on this board at least he is offering a suggestion to get it out to the board we need change. Any other suggestions from anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehouseboys Posted 1 February, 2018 Share Posted 1 February, 2018 You know the club have to pay for the initial allocation even if no one buys them right ? No they don't, initial allocation is sell or return, additional allocations are paid for where it hits them if not all sold. We've sold around 2,500 for this, boycotting away games aint the answer.

We've sold around 2,500 for this, boycotting away games aint the answer. Amazes me how clueless some fans are on this, as you say basic allocation is always sale or return at no cost to the away club so absolutely no point boycotting, only time it costs us money is when we take additional tickets on a guaranteed sale basis (like Chelsea 1500 basic sale or return, next 1500 on a guaranteed sale) and it’s because we didn’t sell out a couple of times the club are reluctant to take additional allocations. WBA don’t split their allocations so whole 2700 is sale or return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can moan and groan all that we want but we have to support the side as much as we can that is what our job is, do people really think that protests / booing etc will inspire the TEAM to better performances and results. If we are statistically relegated the time for protests may be appropriate then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK Posted 1 February, 2018 Share Posted 1 February, 2018 I would have thought everyone taking their seats 10 minutes after kick off v Liverpool would be a visually effective protest.

st alex Posted 1 February, 2018 Share Posted 1 February, 2018 Think if they were going to sack the manager it would have been done by now, certainly needed to be before or at the start of the transfer window. It's been a frustrating window but can't see him getting sacked now so not sure there's much point in staging empty stadium protests - will only be counter productive. If the manager's struggling to motivate the players then perhaps the crowds might. We're only a win or two away from mid table. We're only a handball or soft penalty away from winning games at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club are in a perilous position in the league and need our support if we want to have a chance to stay up, do we want the players to give up now? The time for protests is at the point of relegation and the end of season if we do stay in the league.. Personally I think the players gave up during the Palace game. At the end they were down on their haunches as though they had just been relegated. Watching them after that game was when I believed we were going down. Last night they didn't really put much in (There may be a few exceptions) but they are, IMO , pretty much going through the he motions now. There was no fight. You would have thought the last 10 minutes we would have battered them, we were so desperate but not really we just plodded on the same way as we always do. Finally after the game..which players stayed to give the fans a wave? How many were gone like a rat up a drainpipe? Supporting them just lets them continue the way they are, coasting until the last day (we will probably be gone before then so the last few games half of them won't even get picked)...wouldn't it be better if they were scared not to put in some effort? Wouldn't it be better if the fans really got at them if they didn't try, rather than blindly supporting them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
