Them making even more irrational decisions would not necessarily be a bad thing.

Smith given out in 2nd test, Carey given not out in this one 🤔

‘For those who still wish to attend, we understand but ask you to support our cause by not buying anything from the club shop/stadium’ This would give those who don’t want to boycott a way of showing they still want the Venkys gone.

My point being a boycott doesn’t equal no one attending. Rightly or wrongly, some people can’t be persuaded to ‘join in’ - I just don’t see the point in berating (for want of a better word) them for this. It’s certainly not going to change their mind.

Thanks, so some people still went but the desired result was still achieved. I think this is important to remember.

People need to spend less time on those who definitely won’t boycott and more time on the ones who are open to persuasion.

Did Sheffield Wednesday end up doing a boycott? If so, does anyone know the actual (not published) attendance figure for that match?

Boycotting and not wanting to attend are not the same thing.

Yep, nothing’s happened to justify it 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

All of them?

The word begrudgingly springs to mind (amongst others!).

Light being shone on the reasons for the call to boycott are, I’d argue, more important than whether or not the boycott is deemed ‘successful’.

A modern day Benedict Arnold

I note he’s been involved in four dissolved companies. Sounds perfect for the Venkys.

But they are open for specific purposes of which protesting (I assume!) isn’t one of them. I don’t think it becomes a public space ‘for any reason’ just because the gates are open. Hopefully you’re right and I’m wrong as clearly Ewood would be the best place for a protest to take place. edited to add - you changed your post as I was replying 😁

Aren’t the gates open for a specific reason though (ie attending the match/going into the shop) and Rovers could ask people to leave if they’re there for any other purpose (ie protesting)? I agree this would create a story but purely in terms of the legalities I think they/the police could move people on. Failure to do so would then either be civil or criminal trespass (depending on other factors).

There’s none so blind as those who cannot see. They deserve the Venkys, the rest of us don’t.

I’m an actual Rovers fan and I didn’t sign it.

But even then, surely they can see the decline of the club, identify the only constant during that time and work it out for themselves.

He’ll be pleased people’s focus has been diverted from what really matters…

Knowing our lot he’ll be the new CEO.

Head coaches who you backed to the hilt whilst they were here.

I was going to write a long reply. I’ve decided to save time and go with what a cock.
