I’m not sure where I stand on this. I respect anyone’s right to not turn up for a match but if, say we had a half full stadium then that surely can only be detrimental to the team. And if we lost the game and got relegated because of it I’d feel like I played my part negatively. I’ll be there as ever but I’d personally rather save my beel for after a match and direct it firmly at the owner who is now In attendance.
A half empty stadium would speak volumes against Ashley. I'm not going as a protest against the horrible sod, but then again, I go to more away games than home.
a couple of wins , and the world looks good again. well its not ,until he is gone ,nothing will change.
Pretty sure you said a week or so again you were NOT going, make you mind up Chippy! Support the team, **** THE REGIME - BOYCOTT WOLVES! The less people there the better even if it is only 1 extra person, we won't be relegated due to an empty stadium on one game, we will be relegated due to years of neglect and lack of investment, this is your chance to say your not happy with the current situation and I (if I could attend home games - currently refuse to go to away games down south were I can make them and won't buy club merch) would take it with both hands. It's on TV as well so someone should set up a venue for all the fans boycotting to watch together outside the stadium so they'd get the same atmosphere.
I wasn’t going to be going originally due to work commitments fella (3 games missed already this season as a ST holder). The trip was cancelled so now business as usual. I’ll be there.
Fair play mate, respect your commitment, tbh if i'd be born and bred up there I'd probably be at every games but alas I'm not. My family friend travels up and down from Brighton for every home game (he was local many moons ago). Your choice and your decision both respected mate.
The last two wins have proper put the cat amongst the pigeons. It makes Ashley think “there see, I’m right. We have enough to stay up and that’s what I want” If we had lost them it would have been a completely different ball game. Add to the fact that the wolves game is a must needed 3 points and the margins are tight anyways so the negative impact on the side may be actually catestrophic.
This whole thing has me in turmoil I hate what Ashley is doing to our club but I cant stop supporting the lads I have supported the toon long before Ashley arrived and I hope I'm still there long after he's gone For me it's been 46 seasons and only missed 1 game, that's my record and it's a difficult choice for me to add to that one I wish it could something other than boycotting the game I'm more for the not taking my seat until the 11th minute thing
Just my opinion but it’s a complete waste of time. The stadium will be full for next home game and Ashley will know that. We’d be better off filling the stadium, neeone buying ANYTHING at half time and everybody staying at their seats and standing for 15mins singing “you fat cockney bastard.....”. Bums on seats which are already paid for in the most part isn’t the answer!
A half time dirty protest “a la Sunderland” would be a spectacle but may make viewing in the 2nd half a tad unpleasant.
That’s a long old way mate. My last sober away day was Bournemouth and from the Souuth coast up to SJP it took about 6 hours for me to drive back (I headed there from Cheltenham where I was working). To make matters worse, I had my drinking buddies in the car and they were pissed up and wanting to stop at every services for a piss. I remember thinking, as lovely as the South coast is... it’s a schlep I’d not want to repeat too often.
Respect your view mate. I’m old school though and give it my all for the team and save my beel for after.
