West Ham match boycott

[Lucky Pierre]

Tickets go on sale in two weeks, let's get a perception of how many will be willing to give it a miss. It's on ESPN which means it's easier to watch and more likely to get noticed, it's a Monday night which means less daytrippers.

[Guest TK-421]

Great idea.

Definitely.

[Magic Sponge]

Can I have your ticket Chris?

[Byrnie]

Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

[Lucky Pierre]

Can I have your ticket Chris?

 

£100

[Magic Sponge]

£100

 

Fuck that mate. I could get a Thompson package for less.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Pierre you sneaky cunt, is this what you're resorting now to try and get your hands on tickets, a new low this.

[rondeco]

We need to get momentum behind this.

[Code]

If I was a season ticket holder I would do it, seeing as I`m not and that I usually fly over only 2-4 times every season I dont think me not going to any matches at all would have any other effect than my life being a bit less joyable.

 

The times I`m over though I would participate in whatever protest there is like I`ve done before.

[ROADENDSMIG]

I will boycott this game no problem.

[rockredrock]

If i could boycott i would dont go to the game now health,but the cunt's have had no money off me for over two year's ie shop tv.

[Lucky Pierre]

Nearly falling off the first page so bump for the late shift. Can't be only 11 match going reds on the forum.

[Iantn]

I would do but given the limited response so far and the whole apathy towards it, I don't think that'd be enough to be noticeable.

 

Good idea though.

[Carra_is_legend]

Nice thread LP.

 

We need to do something like this. I started a poll a while ago and the response wasn't great about boycotting.

 

I haven't been to Anfield this season and not planning to go until the Americans fuck off.

[Wor Horse]

United's protest was even on NewsRound earlier. The cunts.

Just under two weeks to get it sorted.

[Iantn]

Just under two weeks to get it sorted.

 

It'd be great if it gets done, but I just don't believe enough give a shite. Sad but true.

[Kevin D]

It is the only viable idea, in my view, but at the same time this fanbase haven't the balls for it and S.O.S aren't confident enough in themselves to announce it. It would be important, I think, to stand outside the stadium for the duration of the game (YouTube - The Simpsons - The Union Folks Song (Complete Version) HD) so it's not simply a case of not being arsed to watch our crap team play - which would reflect on Rafa, instead of the real targets.

[Juniper]

This season I've only been to Anfield once, so far.

 

Trying to get to a couple of matches before May but if there was a boycott then there's no chance I'd go to that perticular match, even if I already had the ticket and couldn't see us again before the last game at home. Sadly there are plenty of fans who will go regardless of a boycott or not.

 

Not sure which option to vote for currently.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

I am an ST holder and would swerve it for a boycott.

[Arl arse]

Same here.

[Newport]

Not sure about boycotts. It might hit back through the club saying they'll have to sell players to balance the loss from a boycott. Then people might be forced back to the games. I also feel like the protests and the issue still hasn't gained enough ground to make it work. I like the idea of it, but I'm not sure that the timing is right.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

I've been boycotting the game for nearly a decade now. Obviously the reasons I have been boycotting is totally different to now.

 

I stopped going after the Kiev CL game which was Robbie Fowler's last game before going to Leeds. Even as far back then I felt that the true values of football had changed to what I was brought up

with. And I have refused to hand over any money for a ticket to go the game ever since.

 

Obviously the reasons for a boycott are vastly different, however if I was season ticket holder, I would certainly be joining in with this. It's the only way for the people who need to know that we as fans will no longer accept what is going on

at our club. I hope this works out, I really do, and I hope it does not get the same response from non educated fans that the marches and leaflet hand outs has in the past. Even if twenty thousand turned up with the message getting back to the players and manager that it is towards the owners (even though it should be about the shite football as well that has been served up this season) and not them. And with the TV camera's being there, maybe someone from SOS could get a slot in the pre match build up to highlight what is going on and why.

 

This could be a real success if played right and the right people are involved.

 

Pierre I owe you a rep as I need to spread it around first.

[Bogman]

I am an ST holder and would swerve it for a boycott.

 

Ditto. And I have.

 

Even talked me little one out of it, saying it was for the good of the club.
