I may be wrong, as I can’t now find it, but I was sure that at the start of the season, parts of the terms and conditions said that not attendance of a certain number of games without transfer or resale through the clubs official platform would lead to season ticket withdrawal?……… If I find it, I’ll post it.

Not sure if it’s already been mentioned, but if season ticket holders miss too many games (i.e. don’t scan at the turnstiles) you are putting your renewal at risk. While people like myself want to protest, I don’t want to risk my ability to retain my season ticket for future years by doing it. I’d rather go, scan in, and walk straight back out, than not attend at all.

People saying don’t buy tickets…… 21,000 season ticket holders have already paid! 3,000 go to away supporters (in general). That’s 24,000 tickets already sold out of 32,000. Three quarters of the ground! Chants can be drowned out on TV, (and already are!) most of TV crowd noise is from speakers near away fans…. Chanting is to a certain extent futile. We need something that will hit the mainstream media, so the message gets out to the rest of the country, and embarrasses the owners / board. Disrupting the game is most effective, but needs to be done in an orchestrated way, by lots of fans en masse, so that individuals can’t be targeted for bans from the stadium. A mass walkout is usually covered by the media aswell, but tends to be most effective when fans attend, then all leave again in an orchestrated way. I’d still got for the former though. Disrupt the game at a set time, possibly twice. Get the game stopped for at least a good few minutes. That always gets shown on TV / the news. Let the whole footballing world know that our fanbase is unhappy with the owners / board.

Whatever is to be done, it needs to be decided VERY quickly so that word can be spread. For me, it’s either stage a walk out right at kick off, all go outside, and start protesting outside the ground, with as much social media coverage as possible…. (unfortunately I can’t see more than 200-300 fans actually sacrificing their time to do this) or……. As lame as it sounds, disrupt the game at a certain time, as other clubs fans have done before, either by throwing something onto the pitch (tennis balls, rubber ducks, have both been done before), or take whistles to the game, so the referee can’t continue. This generates media coverage just by delaying the game and making it finish long after the other games. The media have to explain the reasons why the game is going on for so long. Things like this are hard to organise for a single fan, but surely Union FS has the social media presence to spread the word, and even get leaflets printed for outside the ground of what is decided that we are all doing??……

For those who can’t be bothered to read the website about the new shirt, you can request to buy an adult shirt without the sponsor…………

Can anyone please log in and tell me a figure of how many tickets are left please? Also how many are (safe) standing (if it tells you this). I’m hoping for a standing ticket, but my priority isn’t until Friday. Need to make a decision if I need to source one from elsewhere first. 👍
