Darth Crooks Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think bizarrely that for all the rhetoric and consensus agreement following the TF forum last week about keeping voices loud and front and centre there’s been next to no fanfare about Saturdays protest and the media presence or correspondan has been poor. I say this with the utmost respect for how hard it is but if they are truly not letting things blow over then it needs to adapt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was for a full boycott of a game, and offer those who won't stay away altogether to go in 15 mins late.

The 15 min thing is my personal preference as it’ll test the waters. Was listening to the chronicle podcast earlier and I get the impression people that PL status is somehow at risk by doing full boycott. I’d argue that’s moot as this point and hedging your bets but it’s out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost every game with 50k+ there and they are worried not turning up will put us at risk I reckon the players and maybe now even Rafa actually want us to boycott, they will understand what we are doing, because i definatley think they want Ashley out aswell. There is literally NOTHING to lose by attempting a boycott at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It's a joke now, and not a very good joke. People need to see the bigger picture. There's no enjoyment in 'supporting' nufc. Stop going to games, cancel your season tickets, and stop being complicit in the destruction of the club we all love. But how else will I get time away from my wife?

Most were of the opinion that they didn't want to boycott because of our current predicament on the pitch, but all said they'd be happy to go in late to the game. Think it's definitely the way forward for a first go at something in the ground. It's also what I voted for a the public meeting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I'll do either, I think the full boycott would be more effective but the going in 15 mins late is more popular however I'll be surprised if more than 25% do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest covmag Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 walking in gives the wrong impression, walking out does. im a big fan of just not going, sends a bigger message and get the word out everywhere, handing flyers out at the next game etc, i'd certainly come and help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Nah lads, with us losing I reckon we need to keep turning up, sitting on our hands and booing misplaced passes. Once that turns results around we can stop going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleBingo Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Not wanting to boycott because of our predicament The f***? It clearly says 'our predicament on the pitch', ie they feel they went to help the team get 3 points. I don't agree personally but can see their point of view.

Chris_R Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Yeah sitting there in silence for 90 minutes must really inspire the lads on the pitch. I'd run through brick walls for that kind of support. Honestly there's too many people in the ground with fucking Stockholm syndrome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Our fanbase has changed so much to remember the keegan days you need to be 35 plus the robson days 25 plus.

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hmm, dunno. In my experience it's pretty much across the board age-wise. Just all with a misguided idea of what support means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that difficult a concept to grasp really. I know, but it is a ridiculous argument after losing every game.

Darth Crooks Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It’s preaching to the choir in here like, football is short termist in nature unfortunately - people think season by season. Personally I think any potential boycott has no power if we’re already safe but people were more pliable for the spurs one for that reason. You have to get across that Ashley negates EVERYTHING somehow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 If it's something you truly believe will work, join TMG/Ashley Out and get involved in the large amount of work that goes into attempting to organise boycotts and protests. Posting on here isn't going to do much, especially when you're asking other people to put the work into something that they might think is a waste of their efforts at the moment. It's a forum and i'm offering my opinion, as is everyone else, you don't need to tell us all to get more involved everytime we offer an opinion or idea mate. Stop offering your fucking opinion, nobody cares what you think, Come back when you have actually done something like attended a meeting or a protest, just talking about it on a forum is so worthless. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/smhp.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
