Quoted from Alfie
Simple solution - 1,000 Town fans all wearing bras outside their coats and shirts. No one spends a penny in the ground.


Yet give them 1000 entrance fees?

Isn't that how we always respond to mistreatment by other clubs though? By filling their away end the next time and giving them a profit.

No it isn’t. The inflatable invasion wasn’t after mistreatment at Barnet. The mariachi band wasn’t in response to mistreatment,  is was in response to a ban on inflatables.
But hey Kris don’t let that stop you having a dig at our own fans yet again !!

I would be very very surprised (and disappointed) if there isn’t a vast reduction of our fans at Stevenage next season.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Spend the week prior to next years fixture bagging up our following, saying 2000 are turning up on the day and paying on the gate, then when they've hired in extra "gestapo" stewards at a few thousand pounds not one of us go, that way they spend money and get no income from us.

I think there will be a strong chance if we go there next season it will be all ticket for away fans and a small allocation.

Away fans are treated as an inconvenience. The likes of Stevenage would love it if there weren't any so to not go is to play into their hands. Plus away fans help the team, surely that's the point of going.

I'm not so sure they'd be too chuffed at losing £20k in revenue from one of their biggest away days, personally. For a club of their (small) stature, that's a decent sum of money. If one or two others followed suit, or less supporters went, they could soon find themselves with a financial black hole.

1,000 plus Town fans in their away end could easily vocalise their dissatisfaction with this seasons "warm welcome". Remember how the Kop give their opinion of Kelvin McKenzie.

Over the last few seasons, some in the conference, we have had some very good away followings, did that mean that the team played any better or we won?

Our away record has been pretty good the last few years actually. There is no way of knowing what effect the fans have. Some is my opinion not zero. Make our point in another way but don't not go at all.
