😄 mental isn't it. Genuinely feels like an obligation at this point rather than something I look forward to, imagine I will bin it off at the end of the season unless something changes. Can you imagine the state of this squad after another summer window that Rudy and Pasha oversee? A first 11 of Dion De Neves, no thanks.

Think there's far too much hand wringing and worrying going on about whether or not a boycott will be a major success. We won't know until it's tried but for me if we do nothing the Club dies. If the take up isn't as good as hoped, never mind, move onto something else and/or try again when conditions are different and take up might be more favourable. At the very least organising a boycott brings the issues firmly into the public domain even if initially take up isnt as high as hoped.

No idea how reliable a source this is, but that is quite frankly hilarious. What a shambolic appointment.

Get your tickets for a question and answer evening with Ismael at Ewood..think I'll book the day off! 🤡

And we're still here a decade later. Fair enough for Blackpool they got through it, I bet they couldn't give a damn about us now they are sorted though. Just the way football fans are.

The Crickets - More Than I Can Say

That wasn't about not spending on the concourse though. That was about being united and and bringing to light piss poor ownership

George Michael - One More Try

Yep I remember it, over 2k of them still bought tickets to go in and spent money on the concourse though.

Blackpool fans at Ewood. You'd be surprised at who is willing to help out especially when they've been through it

I bet they don't. Football fans generally only really care about what is happening at there own club, despite the calls from there supporters trust I imagine they will treat it as a normal game and still turn up in fairly decent numbers, and buy plenty from the concourse. Would love to be wrong, but I just don't see it.

I won't be missing any Saturday games as I have already paid for them. I am happy to stroll in late though if a (sensible - 15 mins 150 yrs, 18.75 mins etc) target time is organised. This tactic was effective for Wolves the other week which was on TV and elicited some explanations of the reasons to viewers. I would do this against Wrexham which is on Sky and will have exposure in USA due to their owners. I don't attend midweek games due to travel and really only have a ST as it guarantees away tickets and I am even less prepared to miss these. Also think the manager is plotting his exit by stating his requirements for January which he probably knows will not be met with adequate players. He will soon have been here longer than most of his other appointments.

Well they understand the position we are in, and it’s about time solidarity in football kicks in between two fanbases. They will happily boycott.

Hameed was only a young lad when he played test cricket. I would give him another go at it.

OK. Just posting it.

But his bowling isn't that England batsmen should fear. He's no Glenn McGrath or Paul Refifle. The top 3 batsmen used of footwork is very poor. Pope appalling shot, not at pitch of the ball, Duckett did his feet move to Lyon, Crawley not in position to play a defensive shot

Just won't happen. When there and in the moment, when they are in the concourse 90% of fans will buy something without giving it a second thought.

I understand the sentiment but out of context the first two paragraphs are extremely funny

I take another Michael Vaughan or Ian Bell or Jonathan Trott at 3.

His numbers say he is that good Chaddy, ranked 9th in World, we only have 1 player in top 20, Gus Atkinson, which tells its own story. bowling Total wickets 69 Bowling avg 18.17 Maidens 102 Best Figuresvs England 26/12/2021 6/7 (Before Brendon Mccullum took over, nothing like blocking up an end and batting all day eh 🤣)

I don’t think they are happy or indeed, content for them to stay. They just aren’t prepared to do anything in an attempt to get them removed.

Are there any “ David Steele’s “ out there in the county championship these days ? The not flashy but steady types who don’t give their wickets away lightly. He came from nowhere to fit the bill at No 3.

A significant portion of those still attending Ewood will be most loyal / apathetic towards the ownership. The majority of those who have had enough are already boycotting, albeit unofficially. It's why a boycott call now is so difficult for the Coalition - for those who agree with them, you're preaching to the choir and those people are probably, mostly, not attending anyway. That leaves you with the remaining group who will be very hard to convince to take action. It's not an enviable task. Granted there are a few on here who go but would boycott for the cause, as we've seen. I sadly think they are in the minority though - even if we're just talking a single game.

Agree, the match going home fans that remain I rarely hear much dissent about the Venkys other than the odd chant when we start losing. We have lost the real dissenters from attending over the years which is fair enough, I will probably join them next season.
