morla84 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Media has definitely changed with this campaign getting the message out there. Might listen to phone in tonight for the first time this year and see what there take is after yesterday. 100% agree, I was sceptical of the protest at first, but the media have instantly gone from an endless spiel of 'be careful what you wish for, Pardew is god, be thankful you have Ashley' bollocks to turning on him and supporting us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tv cameras but if it continues, the media will pick it up and make it a bigger deal than yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 it's fine, it has given people initiative and they are starting to do something. if they want to do it it's fine by me. all they've needed was a nudge and a little educating with some media support.

Guest Brendan_Rice Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Who lied about the attendance? Apparently the figures released were tickets sold including season ticket holders, not the amount of people through the turn stiles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Wouldn't be surprised if it was as low as 30,075, but I think that 35/36k is more likely. A magnificent attempt, though. The big question is where do AshleyOut go from here? I bet a lot of yesterday's boycotters were happy to do it as a one-off, but twice? Then again, some who did go probably had their eyes opened. It could really go in either direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
number9shirt Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I see ashley showed exactly what he's made of yesterday by not showing up, the lily-livered cretin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Doubt another boycott would work personally especially with those who have paid for their tickets. People would miss one game but unless your completely fed up - like me - but they wouldn't sack off all of the remaining games. Just my thoughts anyway.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I don't know, I think it's worth trying. Sure a few people who went are regretting it now. They have to do something to keep the campaign going anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Moody Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I think the seeds have been well sown in terms of fans staying away. Plenty will return for the next match but there will be more and more turning their backs as a result of the dross we see on the pitch anyway.

Mattoon Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm hoping that the media backing the move along with yesterday's performance making people question why they turned up in the first place having walked out before the final whistle might make a similar attempt more impactful. Probably not, but it could go either way, those doing it as a one off may want to go back or they might have felt part of something bigger and want to do more. No amount of online polls will tell us the truth, only the actual time of the next action. I hope this is just the start of a strong campaign against Ashley that will build greater momentum as it goes along and not just phase out into ambivalent acceptance again.

Guest TruToon94 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 What do fans fucking need to give up support at this point? Things can't get worse. Even teams who get relegated have somebody at the club who try to win. Not a single person beyond Jamaat and Perez want to win in the entire club seemingly. Players, staff, board, no desire to make the changes necessary to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Even if the people who boycotted go to the next game, they could well now be seriously contemplating cancelling their season ticket and may just want to see the season out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
