Don't tell anyone but I am a member if the secret flask society, our club mission statement is to have flasks on every seat, not only at the football but also at places like cinemas, theatres etc. Mr Fenty has been identified as one of our main enemies but we are confident of achieving our goal eventually. " power to the flask"

No, flasks are still legal.


Thanks for the clarification. Mine will be sat on one of the spare seats on Tuesday night!

Boycotting just gives the wrong impression imo. If the crowds steadily fall due to poor football then Fenty has to act but if there is a mass boycott then Fenty will just string out another excuse about fans bullying etc and detract the attention away from his pal Slade

If the football and results stay the same, then the fan drain will continue of it's own volition anyway.

I will be there supporting the team in the league, too much at stake, respect anyone who has a different opinion though.

I don’t blame players, it’s the tactics of the management team that’s the problem. With a different approach these players might actually be able to show us how good they are.
Personally I don’t agree that you should turn up and support the team no matter what. Why? A blip in results is one thing, I except we won’t win every game, but this is different, this is a much bigger issue.

Boycott a league game never but I must admit the chance of earning £150 yesterday was more attractive than the thought of the match but crusty will be back Tuesday

If you are a fan you go to the games surely? Your absence will not make a jot of difference to Fenty's future, which is the real issue. If too many people boycott the games and our results collapse it would be a disaster. We must stay in the league at all costs; the current difficulties will one day be resolved and if we are in the league we will be much more attractive to future investors, say I hopefully.

No one manager or chairman can please everyone, and as others say attendances will naturally reflect results/performances but talks of actual boycotts will be self defeating in my opinion.

Incidentally, on Saturday there were half hearted "Fenty out" chants in the Pontoon - did Fenty get any stick from the upper Smiths?

I understand the sentiment but I didn't pay for 3 season tickets to sit at home. Next season will be a different story if either a. Slade's still here or b. Fenty is still here or c. Matt, Hooper, Woolford, Dixon or Clarke are still here (journeymen robbing a living)


You missed vernon out

Boycotting hurts the club, which I wouldn't want to do and unless you can get 1000s of people to boycott just wouldn't be effective enough. A well controlled, planned, march and protest would probably more effective, I'm not talking a pitch invasion like Blackpool did, but maybe something similar to what Hull fans did recently. Something to make a statement without hurting the club that the board and management would be unable to avoid.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best
