biggs 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. Just possible some who attended yesterday said fuck it they were right cannot stand this shit anymore why bother but wait oh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugoinufc Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 nothing to play for (maybe relegation) - but people should not turn up for the rest of the season - im sure that would change things! Maybe another relegation is what we need??? the boycott was a bigger success than i hoped for! Respect to you locals....now chant the message over and over and over...........

Stifler Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Releasing an alternative kit or scarf might be an idea, like the Man Utd yellow/green ones. The yellow and green scarves were because Newton Heath originally played in those colours, like the away strip man Utd wore early 90's. Our original strip was the burgundy and blue striped one we wore as an away strip in 1995/96 so Blue and Burgundy scarves is an idea. Man United however jumped on the bandwagon and began selling those scarves in their club shop which defeated the object. This is a great idea. Toffs do custom orders so I'm sure they will be happy to make them, a local company as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever waiting. The worst is when members of our support seemingly back this mentality of perennial waiting as if some magic compelling event is going to occur.

Village Idiot Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 At these times I wish we had some Ultras that would have some connections with the police service They could barricade the stadium from fans trying to enter. I love how under-achieving owners in Italy often have to answer to these Ultras. The negative aspects - obviously - not so much. Just pictured Ashley owning a Turkish or Serbian club.

midds Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 John Anderson saying on Total sport - wait and see what happens in summer. Even if they spend £100m- what do they think will happen when we reach 40 points? If they were in any way serious about spending a bit of money on the club they'd have gone out and paid for a proper manager in January - they didn't, they went for the cheapest option possible, crossed their fingers and hoped it would be enough. That's the crux of the matter and it's not going to change now, this is the policy - spend as little as possible and hope it's enough. The cunts running the gaff have 7 seasons worth of past form to go on and all of these bullshit leaks about investment in the summer are a smokescreen to fool fucking retards into thinking they're serious. Unfortunately it's worked with quite a few of our thicker fans who've swallowed it down whole. They're a pack of fucking arseholes and they've managed to hoodwink cunts like Anderson who are only to willing to push their agenda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 There will be significant investment in summer because the squad isn't fit for purpose - not even close. Sadly this will fool a significant proportion of the support into buying tickets and shirts, which is why it seems to be club policy now. It was the same last summer and this is how they cottoned on, hence so many contracts running down. There's far more positive PR to be sucked from the gullible by buying a French Sammy Ameobi for £3m than renewing the contract of the one we've got. Do that for half a dozen fringe players and "Wow! Look at the ambition!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Far too many who want to believe in Ashleasy and the club as it means they continue doing what they've always done. As Wullie says with signings, I reckon a hefty chunk who boycotted wouldn't if we hadn't lost six on the bounce. A win, or a point against Hull would see droves returning.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It's difficult, as the game becomes more bloated and grotesquely rich more and more people are going to greater lengths to find something they like about the sport. A lot of fans just want to be left alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans just want to be left alone. Think there's a lot of truth in this. As the structure of football has become recognisable and the sporting competition is more and more false or even obsolete, we're even more desperate not to think about the bigger picture.
