    Perhaps if soft lad has got any money left from the Away Supporters Initiative, or whatever it's called, he'll contribute to Forests free travel arrangements.

    The rozzers don't / won't listen. Never have, never will.

    As for the idiots in charge .... no - one tells them how to think.

    As a result, common sense suggestions such as yours get lost in 9 pages of cobblers.

    ALLAMS OUT !!!

    I do look at things 'like a normal supporter' and have done for the 50 plus years that I have been one. If everyone stopped going because they didn't agree with the way the club was run then we'd have been playing in front of two men and dog for virtually all of our history.

    See the Chelsea v Norwich game as a perfect example of Cup allocations.

    There’s a difference between disagreeing with the way the club is being run and being disengaged after the owners tried to change the name of the club, were refused, changed it by proxy anyway, broke the rules by not offering concessions to children and the elderly, kicked community sports groups out of a facility it didn’t own and said that fans can die when they want :emoticon-0148-yes:

    A lot of empty seats. Norwich probably have about 3,000 there in a 6,000 stand. Healthier than our fans though, they are all stood up, no unfit dads and uncles who hafe to remainbseated fir 90 minutes, no asking stewards to tell their own fans to sit down because they are blocking their view of the superstars.<laugh>
    Chelsea will have known how many were going so they should have been able to sell the remaining seats. Unless the police and SAG prevented them.

    But why does that mean you stop going. Why is that the default for city fans. Forest have been through loads of **** for years. Leeds have been through loads of **** but the fans still back the team. It might be different **** but they've still had it as have loads of others.

    And also, football used to be football. The so called 'football experience' has changed almost unrecognisably over the last 10 or so years. I think this is just as big a factor.

    True
    Market something as entertainment and people might just start comparing it against the rest of the entertainment industries instead

    I would turn this around and say maybe Hull folk know a charlatan and a liar better than Leeds or Forest fans.
    Maybe Hull folks don't follow like sheep and can think for themselves.
    Hull folk generally earn less than other towns/cities and maybe someone pulling their pants down at every opportunity does not sit well with them.
    For me, I despise the ****s and my hard earned money no longer lines their pockets.

    You could’ve just said ‘their owners never tried to change the club’s name’.

    It was a weak point made by Chazz. I'd have pointed out that firstly, Leeds fans had thousands of boycotters (although they still turned up for cup games against big clubs, so yeah they're loads better than us aren't they). Secondly being disappointed that your team has got a bit **** isn't really a reason to protest on its own. Certainly not compared to the gradual and disastrous harm that's been and being done to the very fabric of this club by the Allams. Investment is one thing. Turning a club against its entire local community, making it an object of scorn locally and one of ridicule nationally, and going to such lengths purely to try to punish the fanbase, is far worse than Leeds or Forest being not as good as they were years ago.

    A better example would be Charlton, Orient, Coventry or Blackpool. But he didn't mention those because they're properly boycotting like us and that's not convenient for the 'our fans are ****' narrative.

    As for calling boycotting 'the default' for City fans that was just ****ing stupid.
