For the sake of Leeds United i would urge all fans to make a one-off boycott of this game. We must unite together to show the "owner" of this club that we can hurt him where it matters. As things stand he is the winner. He is bleeding OUR football club dry but still making profits from the die-hard fans. There is no transparency at the club and noone knows where the money is going to. The only way we can hurt Bates is in the pocket. We can show the watching world that Leeds United are not happy and we want something to be done. Get yourselves down to the local pubs and create your own unique atmosphere in a non-Bates environment.
Well, if fans feel they may hurt the club financially....the 12k season ticket holders leaving empty seats would be nice as the money is in the bank anyway. Then there is the Sky money for having their cameras there, so cash is still coming in. But no further ticket sales would be great, a stadium with just Scum behind the South Stand goal.....hahaha. Imagine what they would sing at Bates. Also, Man U would get **** all money from splitting the gate receipts...so we do one to Bates and the Scum in one go. Awesome!!
never gunna happem...even if those who really care for the club boycotted to help get bates out, their seats would be filled by those who only come out of the woods when these sort of fixtures come along
and Bates will shut the club down and say well **** you then he is one nasty ****er who will do actions first and answer questions later
would hate to see the ground empty and lets be honest if you dont go someone will always go in your place to a game v scum at home. For me go to the game, support the team, spend nothing in the ground on food, programmes or merchandise etc...
Kebab, you are so behind the times, mate. I never planned to go to this game. (wink) Seriously, if this could be pulled off it would be great, but too many casual fans wil jump at the chance to go to this "big game." In my opinion, the only chance of success is an outside protest with fans only going in after 5 minutes to create a televised spectacle.
If we all have the attitude that a casual fan will take my place then it will sell out. Make your stance, vote with your feet, stay firm. On the day you are thinking of buying a ticket i would urge you to think hard. Remember Beckford, Johnson, Kilkenny, Schmeichal, Gradel. Who is next? Remember the court costs - £3m on one alone and plenty more Remember the missing money - YOUR MONEY - that you paid in good faith - where has it gone? Remember he labelled loyal supporters morons. Remember noone will invest in Leeds because noone wants to work with him. Remember the club ownership lies Remember the academy lies Remember the hotel project Remember Yorkshire Radio REMEMBER AND DO NOT BUY A TICKET!
the 12k season ticket holders leaving empty seats would be nice as the money is in the bank anyway. ITS A CUP GAME not covered by season ticket
A boycott against Man Utd is never going to happen, its the game all Leeds fans live for and the game could sell out 2 to 3 times over if there was no Health and safety bollocks. On saturday i attended a wedding and a fair view of the guests were Leeds fans, as i arrived(about 10 minutes after the draw had been made) all i could hear was "we've got the scum at Elland Road", a couple i spoke to used to be season ticket holders and now go just a few times a season, but this game they are there IF they can get hold of a ticket, i work with others in a similar position. If you are going to boycott a game do it for a league game that is on the telly and encourage season ticket holders to not turn up until the second-half.
A five minute delay for fans to take thier seats until after kick off. Sends a message live on SKY when our boys kick off. They've turned into recluses and won't even talk to the BBC. Won't listen to us anymore so unfortunately its the only way to communicate with them.
