Guest Roger Kint Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 As if the one game really affects you in any way, or your being there even matters to the gutless wonders infesting our dressing room. £710 ST/19 games = £37.36 per match £710 ST/18 games = £39.44 per match No doubt the £7 burger bought in the ground will be a necessity though........

TaylorJ_01 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 im in two minds about this boycott i dont want to go because it does need highlighting and a statement made but... i cant bear not supporting my team and he already has my cash a sit in may have been better forcing them to keep the stadium open for hours afterwards ultimately costing them for police and stewards and leccy bills etc You have nothing to lose, you can still go into town as per normal, go to the protest and watch it in a bar. Think of the greater good. ashley still has my cash for the game though, he doesnt care if im there or not The more empty seats in the ground, the more it's going to be talked about and mentioned in the media, which will make him squirm. The emptier the better for making a point. Sitting on the fence is no good at all. Either do something or do nothing and be happy with your lot. this is why i have the dilemma You are the loyal type of fan that Ashley is taking the piss out of. I know you have good intentions - but it's playing right into his hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 It's annoying as people need to see past the "He already has my money". This is more a stand of unity from ALL Newcastle fans to show the regime we are not standing for it anymore. Newcastle fans really need to be all in for this. The problem is, it will be the people who go to the game that will say "I told you it wouldn't work, look how many people are here" not realising, it is themselves that's the problem.

Penny has long since dropped since then and I made the decision that I was not going to be exploited any longer. Got to cut the cord mate and let go.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I was able to ignore the bigger picture for a while and just try to watch every match in isolation. But discussing the match, events, transfers etc suddenly just started sounding completely ridiculous in the context of a club that's no longer trying.

Memphis Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 What is supporting the team? How many of these players have shown real interest in representing Newcastle United? How many appear to be bothered by the current situation? What's better for the long-term outlook of this club - a huge crowd of muted supporters watching a drab match, as we've seen throughout this season, or massive swaths of empty seats and a protest outside to make it clear that the current aimless path is unsustainable?

ujpest doza Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Struggling to understand why anyone would think our current team, management and owner deserve any support - we are in an absolute mess. Struggling to see why so many cannot see this and will not do anything about it. Struggling to think of any justifiable reason for anyone to go to this - a one off (for now) boycott to make a stand against the above. I think all those not going into the ground should still meet up around the ground encouraging people not to go in/block turnstiles etc - what ever it takes! They tried doing that in 1989. It didn't stop people going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The irony being that by attending and sitting in silence (most games this season) you are supporting the regime and not the team. This Atmosphere is shit, team generally play shit so its almost impossible to get chants going because you dont feel as though that support is being reciprocated through their effort/performance! Ever! manager is too proud to realise his shortcomings and an owner seemingly hell bent on extorting every penny he can from the club at the expense of all hope and ambition we once had. How can anyone want to miss that this sunday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 ashley still has my cash for the game though, he doesnt care if im there or not He cares very much whether you're there next year though, and the seasons after that. An emptier stadium will just give him an insight into how much less gate revenue he's going to get. When he looks at the crowd, he doesn't see fans, he sees pound signs and I hope he's going to see a lot less on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Nobody should abandon their club because of things like relegations and defeats and things that are the normal part of being a fan, but we need to separate that concept of loyalty from what is going on at the moment. This is a great chance to sacrifice something quite small to demonstrate that we don't accept how the club is being run. There's nothing disloyal about it, quite the opposite.
