Boycott Or Not?

You would imagine they'd have to cater for all season ticket holders regardless of whether they attend, as the club have no way of knowing how many will turn up, they all might or none of them might.

Assume any additional tickets sale drive the need for more staff or not.

Good to see its a low expected turn out though.

I've been to every home game this season, I'm a season ticket holder, but I'm very tempted to join the boycott this Saturday. Its depressing what's happened to Blackburn Rovers this Season, a useless manager in the dugout, our team gone to rack and ruin, and owners who don't give a toss, about Blackburn Rovers.

Every person counts. If is a tough decision but if nothing else you will be able to look yourself in the mirror and know you tried. We have to start somewhere. You are not letting anyone down,the Owners and Pasha have let you down and taken your loyalty for granted.

I think me and my friends will end up going to the Darwen game this weekend instead. I live in between both so doesn't really bother me. My young lad is just getting into football and I got him a season ticket for rovers last year. It'd be a shame for him to miss out and for us to lose that Saturday afternoon together. If there is a viable alternative, like this Saturday at Darwen then I'll choose it. He's been to a charity game there before and it was far more entertaining than anything he has had to suffer at ewood this season.

I'm a season ticket holden and I've been to every weekend home game and a couple of the midweek ones. If I was asked to miss the rest of the season it would be a no. If I was asked to not buy a season ticket next year that would be 50/50. I can easily pick and choose games as I miss a few anyway.

However missing one game on a miserable, drizzly Saturday against low-key opposition to try and make the point is an easy decision for myself. It's a single afternoon. There's another home game next weekend to catch up with my mates. Partaking in boycotting this one game doesn't mean that going forward you will be asked (or have to) miss further games. It's an isolated message.

Aside from the moronic element on Twitter, I think the conversation has been mostly respectful. 

To anyone sitting on the fence, this decision has no right or wrong answer for me. Every fan has a valid reason to attend the game, that must always be the starting point here.

I recall under King Rat, I gave one poster pelters for not boycotting, the poster DMd me and explained he attended because he promised his grandad, recently deceased, he wouldn’t let them force him out.

I learnt a valuable lesson that day, he was right, I was an arsehole and wrong.

I really hope you do, what else can we do as we see something we love being dismantled, brick by brick. None of us like missing but we need to do this, if we fail, then at least we be satisfied that we at least tried to make our voice heard.
