AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I would be very surprised if there are less than 40 000 people there. Over 50k sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 one issue is the official attendance will just be tickets sold (so all season tickets holders), so you can already guarantee the club will try and picture this as 'failed'. Surely the scanners in the turnstiles are what determine total amount? If the stadium is half-empty (doubtful, but I think, tactically, it's still the correct method of protest) - but the club try and claim it as 49k, it will make them look an even bigger joke. AO.com are going for the visual and I pray to God they successfully shepherd the sheep into making a significant statement. There have been a couple of games recently where the attendance has been £50k+ where I seriously doubted there were that many there as there were a good few gaps around.

ToonTastic Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Can we get a poll about people's current intentions for this game if they have a ticket? I'm a season ticket holder and I won't be going. Didn't bother with the last home game either. Poll doesn't work on Tapatalk but I'm season ticket holder and won't be going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm sure we are the only club to never have a lower crowd than 30K in the Premier League!

nufcjb Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The potential for this is HUGE. The Cardiff game last season got some off their seats and leaving but as the game was never on SKY, the impact never carried momentum to the following week. The Stoke away game had good hype about sackpardew.com and Ashley about to sack him if he lost but it was an away game and eventhough we lost, nothing was made out of the fans' frustration. The Hull game was a big letdown. The media were up for it and sackpardew was at its peak. Papiss fucked that up in the end but the expected backlash was not reflective on what we felt here. Plus, all the Pardew lovers were there. This Spurs boycott has to be real, has to be perfect, has to have momentum in the town at least a week beforehand. SKY are covering it so it has to start in the days leading up to the match. If we still get a 50k crowd and booing and condemnation of Ashleyout.com from our lot, then there is no hope tbh.

The club managed to control the protests for the Hull game as they confiscated a lot of the protest material so the impact was a lot less than it might have been. And the disgraceful manipulation of the Jonas situation which came out a day or two beforehand also had an effect. I would not be surprised to start seeing headlines about how the club needs the fans onside because we don’t want to get embroiled in a relegation fight. The club will certainly be trying to manipulate the fans through the media to damage the protest. --- I liked the sentiment made by someone on a website that as the players haven't been turning up for recent games that we have decided not to bother attending the Spurs game. Although that is not the point of the protest, I am sure that message will appeal to some supporters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Walkout was always gonna be difficult to be effective, with supporters who wanted to stay criticising those who wanted to walk out/did walkout. Hopefully a full boycott will be easier to just do something else that day, even if they don't join a protest group in Leazes park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Lee Ryder @lee_ryder 33s34 seconds ago Have penned my own thoughts on #BoycottSpurs .

Scoot Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Like I said yesterday, this will be pathetic as our fans can't organise fuck all... I'll probably not bother going to the game. Will I go to the protest? Well that depends how many plan on doing it. The last few have been embarrassing. The odd 50 people, it just looks stupid! I think more than 50 will boycott and turn up. I'm not confident. Our fucken lot couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery. Even when we do, like last season when it seemed everyone had agreed to walk out of the Cardiff game on 60 minutes, along came NUST and decided to throw a spanner int he works by declaring the 69th minute was a better option. Everything was organised for the 60th, why not just go along with that. Too many people wanting to be the leader and have their own idea to be the one carried out by everyone so if it works, they can say "that was my idea". And that is my point, there'll be nee c*** goes to this protest next Sunday. Probably a bunch of chavs who weren't going to the game anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
