Reaction to this on social media is predictably depressing. “Who would buy us?”, “they can’t invest!”, “support the team FFS” I fear most willing to boycott are already doing it (and have been for some time).

Thanks to everyone who worked on these messages. I will make it my business to back them up on social media etc.

Agreed. More powerful.

At least, and at long last, we are at least trying to force change and save our club.

I agree unfortunately 😂

Long way to go, better coach finishes higher, no arguments.

Every chance. ’As a thank you to our superb loyal supporters in our 150th year…’

Wouldn’t put it past them.

Targeting France and Africa. I’m sure Gestede being French of African descent is purely coincidental.

£10 all areas

What’s the chances the club announces an offer for the Watford game? 🤔

Exactly. Home form bad, games called off, bad weather etc etc 'oh i can't be arsed going even though iv'e already paid for an ST' Ask them to official boycott ONE game ' F off iv'e paid for a season ticket, get behind the lads FFS' Unreal.

*8 points behind.

With those fixtures to end the season a minimum of another 7 wins are needed in the intervening 18 fixtures starting with Millwall this Saturday.

😂😂 broke a chuckle then lol

We’ll see how it pans out, but the replies to the Coalition’s Twitter post says we are still a long way from, say, where Blackpool’s fanbase was with NAPM.

I've been sent this from Twitter The call for a boycott is targeting the fixture versus Watford in January, so that people who have already bought tickets for the next fixtures are not out of pocket.

Can't complain at all with that, and it will put to rest my umming and ahhing over whether I get a new shirt. I don't get to many home games anyway, but I'll aim for the Wednesday away game rather than the home games over the Christmas period. As others have said, whether there is a significant fanbase left to completely boycott remains to be seen, but there's no harm in trying. Already seeing a lot of backlash on certain areas of social media.

Unfortunately no letter is going to change anything. It won’t even be seen by the owners. The club is rotting, there’s no way back the damage is too great now. This is going to be our last season in the Championship for many many years.

I think for FA cup games you can listen to the Radio Lancs commentary on BBC Sport.

If everyone could just bite the bullet and stay away for just one match initially and see what traction that gets it could be a massive moment in the history of the club. There'll never be an attendance of zero, but if we could have a game where there is max 1 or 2 thousand home fans in a 31k seater stadium it would get attention. It would surely be the emptiest ground actively used ground in Europe as a percentage of the capacity.

There's been between 5 and 9k actually turning up but all of a sudden they are getting offended at the word 'boycott' ! Astounding hypocrisy from some on social media.

I actually think boycotting home games while still attending away games is a stronger protest than boycotting all games.

Love the letter. Agree with every single word. My only worry is it is just words that may not be seen or respected by enough supporters that it doesn't have any effect. I sincerely hope the fan base are brave enough to follow through. If it leads to a mass player exodus, administration and relegation..but forces the cancers out it is worth it. Need to spread the word. Get in the media!

Can people who are more active on social media share what the sentiment is in response to this call from fan groups for a boycott? Obviously there will be some club plants and the usual Venky lovers who spring to their defence, but can people try and capture the general mood of the response and share here? I haven't used Facebook for over a year and got rid of twitter last year too. I'll boycott on Saturday. I'll probably go Sheff Weds away and Hull in the cup out of guilt, but that's paying their owners not ours. Or is this a call to boycott ALL BRFC fixtures?
