This 150th game is the regime's opportunity to paint an image of normality to the world. They'll be expecting a bumper crowd of people to turn up for the 'special' occasion, probably stick some Rovers 'legends' on the pitch before the game, wear a special shirt. This will all make them look and feel legitimate.

I agree the best, probably only way, for supporters to send a message to them and the watching people on Sky, is to not turn up for it. I also appreciate that is everyone's own choice and might not be acceptable to some. 

So ultimately we will get a half-way house. We won't get a total boycott of the game or a ridiculously low crowd, but the ground will be more than half empty, which tells a story in itself for what should be a significant occasion in our history.

Personally even ignoring the 150th stuff the ignominy and humiliation of sitting there as our former manager, captain and half our side turn up for Derby, and imbeciles around me in the stands booing/blaming them for our demise, is enough to ensure I stay well away from Ewood, as I genuinely would not be able to go and sit there without either falling out with someone or walking out in disgust.

Yes .. I will be boycotting too !

I felt the disgust  at Derby , fans with snakes chanting at Eustace whilst the 3 real crooks were sat in the main stand , laughing at them . 

Suhail and Gestede should reap the world wind in every game ,we play at home or away !

Waggott even chatted to fans on one of the service areas ,I believe .

Forget about one off boycotts and all that, won’t happen here.

What will happen is gates will continue to drop year on year as we fall down the leagues. Thats your protest right there - but this lot do not care one iota. They’ll just shut the ‘unviable’ academy, the ‘not fit for purpose’ training ground, the ‘surplus’ Riverside and on and on.

Absolutely…death of a thousand cuts, boiling frog…incremental decline.

No chance will the Derby game be a bumper crowd aside from the thousands they bring to boost it.

Live tv game ?  Cat A due to expected away following = 12 k home fans with probably less actually inside the ground.

It'll fall flat on it's face and the nation will laugh.

On the flip side, could be an opportunity to get some eyes on our situation, as the nation will be watching.

The Derby game is category A pricing for match tickets and Platinum in hospitality.

They must be expecting a good attendance 🤔

 ‘Birthday Boycott’ has a nice ring to it.

That's how clueless they are.

Although i suppose a big turnout from Derby is all that's on their minds ££££

Best one that happened here was the 1875 thing where left the stands on 75 mins that certainly got the attention.

We can't afford to put any entertainment on for you but we will charge top whack.

[Mattyblue]

Fifteen years and they still don’t have a clue about the fanbase.

It’s on TV, at half 12, so Derby won’t be fetching many, so no sizeable away support to fleece (the usual reason for Cat A) and why would our fans go out their way at those prices to just see a one off kit and Kevin Gallacher et al wandering round the pitch at 12.15?

The only chance of a semi decent crowd was a ticket promotion. Hey ho, another embarrassing afternoon incoming.

Exactly.  I was saying just the same thing last night.

I enjoyed the link up with Blackpool on their not a Penny more campaign when we protested around the ground.

I think having it packed outside the ground but not in sends a message as well, get some tannoys like that annoying shouty man at parliament, fireworks etc

Unfortunately, I think the people willing to boycott are already boycotting. The people left inside the stadium simply won't do it.

I think we may be in such a dire situation by November that many of them would join  an 18(in) -75(out) type protest.

Rubber chickens and ref's whistles at the ready.

Very much like tbe idea and the meaning of that...would get media attention too.

Whistles, horns, klaxons and vuvuzelas. 

[Mike E]

I wonder if a boycott by attending but remaining outside around Jack’s statue might be worth doing?

Would look good for the cameras. Derby’s recent history with ownership, they MIGHT be willing to help, as Blackpool were a decade ago.

[Rovers96]

We could also get in touch with the Sheffield Wednesday Community to do a joint protest on 6th December & 29th December game. Was thinking where both sets of fans wear T-shirts with the lines “GET OUT OF OUR CLUBS” and a picture of the Venkys & chansiri. Would get people talking if we all wore the same thing.

Yes, but we need media coverage of the fact why the attendance is so shit - not the Sky coverage, but because we hate the regime, and that's why it's happening.

I'm happy to sign an online petition stating when I started watching live (1978),  how long I was a ST holder (approx 1980-2010), why I won't go (them), when I will go (when they fuck off), job done!

[DeeCee]

I reckon it will be decent crowd, the vitriol towards Derby will bring them out.

May be an unpleasant atmosphere, easy for Derby to get here, not much time on the piss for them but that's not insurmountable.

Just hope there aren't any (there will be many, I expect) snakes being rattled (sic) and we absolutely smash them, all ex and current players have a love in after the game and Eustace head butts Rudy and Suhail.

Sorry, I got carried away with the last paragraph 🤦‍♂️
