Everyone seems to be in agreement that the players, for all their effort, aren’t good enough, or we’re missing a few quality players. It seemed to be the assumption that the players were bought ‘on the cheap’. Or, they are what we can afford and we’re living within our means.

We will not get better players if we actively seek to stop giving the club our custom. We will get the opposite.

I dunno what the answer is, but a bit of food for thought anyway.

I am not boycotting any game. If my team are playing and i can make it then I shall be there to show my support! Boycotting games doesn't do anything for the morale of the players/team.

It is the only bargaining chip we  have available ,seems as long as JF ignores the people who are the lifeblood of this club he has to be sent a message,if S/T holders boycott no less of revenue, short term pain for long term gain.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

We  could turn up en masse for a  planned protest against the board and manager. An option to a boycott

If those who want Fenty out but do not want to boycott they could wave a white tissue in his direction.

My boycott is partly in protest at the board but more that my money is hard earned and I require entertainment with a 50/50 chance of winning, at the moment we have to be happy with a corner and 1/2 goal attempts. What is on show is quite poor, so I'll listen on the radio, still have my flask available though.

Talking of flasks, I saw at least 3 in the ground yesterday - have the rules changed?

Err hasn't a fans forum been announced?  Surely this is where to raise concerns rather than a boycott.
