Well someone needs to tell them Newland, as those who still go are seen to be patting the Allams on their backs. Why oh why cant they see that? Its a gospel that needs preaching. Boycott is the only answer, other than murder, and I think deep down everyone knows that but too many are too stubborn or selfish to get their fix and hide behind the "I support the shirt" nonsense and I'm not stopping going just because of the Allams. Now I know most of the west standers would go even if we were owned and run by an Adolf Hitler/Jimmy Saville partnership so we are never going to get a full boycott. But why at least can't we give it a try? If you really need a fix then away days are still there and invariably more fun.
Stop having a ****ing pop at West Stand, I know more than ten from Upper West who have boycotted all games this season. Where you sit doesn't alter your opinion of the gangsters that are Allam.
I think the atmosphere last night helped towards the result! It’s all about what we want to accomplish when we protest? If getting rid of the allams at any cost ( relegation ) then boycotting is the answer! Especially if the away team turn up in numbers and make it like a home game for them? I’d hate to see us relegated because it’s very easy to slide and not return but if it meant getting rid of these ****s I’d take it. Last night really only broadcast to a wider audience how we feel about the owners and it won’t have gone unnoticed that the protest wasn’t from the whole stadium.
The perfect game would be the Villa game... perhaps enough time for social media to get behind a boycott. If Monday doesn't go well, each of the action groups should implore their members not to attend that day. They wont lose the fix as such as its televised.. Failing that, all those that want to attend, should stay on the concourse until 1904 and sing there. Villa will bring on mass are the club allowed to give over the North or was that purely an FA Cup ruling.
They can't move people for league matches. They can give a whole stand over for away fans in the Cup as season passes or memberships don't include cup games.
Apparently, if there was a pitch invasion last night, the televising of the Villa game was going to be cancelled. Hence the coppers all rocking up in the North a few minutes before it was planned to take place. Villa will have the option of around 2,300 tickets, the same as every other club.
Who would have decided to cancel the televising of tbe Villa game? The tekevision company? The police? The SAG? The SMC? The council? Seems rather strange.
I’m a better fan than you as I’m boycotting and you’re not. I’m a better fan than you as I go in the North, not the West. I’m a better fan than you, because I’ve been going since 1962 (even if you’re only nineteen). Some proper soppy ****e being posted nowadays, the Allams will be loving this petty bickering.
It’s what the club were told, at least it’s what they say they were told, they could have made it up.
Yeah not sure what your point is so we'll leave it there. More important things to do with life at the Moment!! Time for Ale
"at least it’s what they say they were told, they could have made it up." That bit sounds believeable at least.
Am I slightly disappointed by the level or protests? Yes. Am I going to have a go a those who got involved and tried to organize it? Of course i'm not. At least they did something, so many of these issues we face could have been stopped if we started protesting earlier. I will continue my boycott and I hope the protests continue. Just wish there was a way for more people to know what is going to happen, as you can't just post it on twitter or on here as the stewards would stop it in seconds.
I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday evening. Met in Parkers for a couple before joining in the protest outside of west stand reception, and unashamedly photobombing the large Allam out flag despite not being direct involved. Then, with underpants bulging with balls, made our way to our usual spot back of N2. Now when I was at school, we used to play football all year round in PE. However for two weeks in the summer they used to try and make us play bastard cricket. I recalled from memory of those cricket woes, that I am completely **** at throwing. I therefore realised that I needed to be much nearer the pitch. So at around 17 minutes we made our way to a more lower central role just in time to participate. The whistles on 30 minutes were bloody deafening from that area, effective, but painful. With the two lads on at the end during the pitch interviews, I thought the day was very good overall protest wise. I never encountered any opposition to any of the protests from fellow fans. I think it just had the right balance, and hats off to everyone involved. Good to get the win too, had we not of course it would have been our fault again ala Forest. Lets see what Mondays meeting brings........... Oh, and I am NEVER, EVER, drinkng Coors again. Hangover from hell #hangoverout
I’m a former West Stand Ticket holder and am now in my third season of boycotting until the Allams have left. Admittedly, it was made easier by coinciding with moving two hours away a couple of years ago but I have had plenty of opportunities to go and have no interest in going whilst they remain in control!
Yeah there's something in it that gives you a bad headache. I can drink pints and pints of most booze, but Coors always gives you a headache the next day. A quick Google search seems this is common, as they use fermented corn (ffs??) in the recipe.
