    Yeah of course they will. Absolutely quaking in my boots. I mean they haven't won in the league since December 2 and not got a point since New Years Day, no Vlaar as well. Should win 2-0.

    Strange but the way you have written that I'm sure that was supposed to fill us all with confidence. The way you've said it just makes me think......oh no!!!!!!!

    APACO is clearly the person responsible for the media saying we expect to win the league

    I have been reluctant to come on here and say stay away. I am not a season ticket holder and spend most of my time outside the country so it doesn't affect me. However a one match major stay away would be a very powerful statement. Even if 10-20K still went it would look empty on TV and would have a major impact in the press.
    The other powerful statement would be don't renew your season ticke

    Bxxllxxcks I wasn't finished there. I don't think there is actually pressure on seats as we very rarely fully sell out but if everyone effectively said before i commit my money in advance I want to see you commit to entertaining me and investing in a team we deserve. Otherwise I will just pick and choose as I feel fit. While ticket revenue is not the biggest source of revenue not having that committed in advance would certainly worry them.

    Sky TV is a powerful tool for making a protest. What better way than to show our displeasure than having either an empty stadium or a paltry crowd of say <15,000. Broadcast all over the world it would make headlines. Indelibly it would be linked to Mike Ashley as owner of the club and Sports Direct. Bad publicity for Sports Direct indirectly. Affecting the share price perhaps? Shareholders would be most displeased.

    Start a petition. Free, easy to market. if you get 50,000 signatures it's got a fighting chance.

    Personally I'd be trying to get visibility and understanding from the FA. They have rules in place to create "best endeavours" for match performance and attempts at cups, yet they seem to be ok to allow someone to abuse their wealth and abuse advertising? I don't know, I think it needs to come from governance of the sport myself, I don't think the fans will ever have enough clout, not any more with attendance being so irrelevant.

    Don't get me wrong but if that's what we are reliant upon, then we're screwed.

    The FA don't give a damn. Why? Because the PL run the FA and they are only interested in money.
