    What happens to this now we have a new manager? Do we persist with it or get behind him, his backroom staff and of course the team.

    A sub 10,000 crowd is not going to be a great welcome to the club is it.

    Attendance was always going to be low, effect of boycott v new manager very difficult to gauge.

    Whilst I was originally going to boycott, I'm more excited about welcoming the new manager and seeing how we set up and play.

    Tickets bought.

    Sorry folks.

    Tough one this. I think we were thinking about paying on the gate if we decided to go. Now I feel we should be there for the new boss as none of this is his fault. Still think Ehaw is a **** though. Decision to be made.:emoticon-0138-think

    It's looking more like 5,000 at the moment, but it remains to be seen if the new manager causes an upsurge in sales.

    decision should have already been made
    the boycott wasn't aimed at Phelan and isn't aimed at Silva
    you either want to boycott it or not as far as I can see

    Our last 3 FA cup 3rd round home fixtures have been 10k, 9k, 8k, and for a 5th round replay we managed 10k.

    The Boycott really has to be well under 2 thousand for anyone to really take note. We might get a mention in the HDM if we're lucky but that'll be our lot. Look at some of the empty stadiums in the lower leagues when they have a boycott and it hardly got a mention outside of local press.

    It's the wrong game completely. I'd just go if you want to.

    If that's the case the boycott is already a lost cause.

    It was never going to be that low, they count the 2,500 corporates as being there, even if not a single one turns up.

    It's more bums on seats, a properly empty stadium tells a story. If there's 5k there and the attendance says 7.5k, it will not get any coverage at all. Particularly not when in a normal non boycotting season without owners we desperately hate we only managed 8k against a team (Barnsley) just down the road who probably brought 4x more fans then Swansea will, if not more.

    My 5,000 was including the corporates being added, apparently there's only about 2,000 tickets actually sold so far.

    I've donated and won't be going, even though the game is already covered in my pass.
