Boycott

At most clubs by now the discontent & anger towards Aiyawatt’s treatment of our football club would be pretty hostile to say the least but we all know that come tomorrow night his name won’t be mentioned once. 
 

All mouth & no action 

You're the personification of this, you don't go to games but you're telling everyone else to protest.

[BrilliantFox]

@Sol thewall Bamba Shouldn't it be commendable that @Spanner73 is not lining the club's pockets?

 

That is the very essence of a boycott. Fans shouldn't be turning against one another.

Probably needs to be 15-20 mins to be noticeable - our garbage turnstiles and digital tickets mean the ground is usually half-empty at kickoff anyway.

Curious to know which turnstiles you go through, I use all the kop ones depending on which side I’m walking from and only ever had 1 delay, first game a few seasons back when digital tickets were first used and fans hadn’t a clue how to use the system.

 

Since then, maybe 3-4 seasons, I just walk up, no queue or only one or two in front, place end of phone on reader, green light and in.

 

So which area is garbage then?

"Lining the clubs pockets" haha we lose tens of millions of pounds a year. 

 

Not attending does very little, if anything it can make things worse as the club can resell your ticket to someone who's less critical.

 

It would be much more uncomfortable if those that want them out show up and make their feelings known consistently rather than taking the easy option but that's just my opinion.

Things aren't at the stage where a boycott would either be well backed or serve a purpose.

 

It took Sheffield Wednesday to go into the brink of adminstation before they started to get meaningful boycotts.

 

Right now we just have to make our voices heard. Bring banners, chant against King Power, boo, whistle ****ing stomp your feet if you have too.

 

The fans have to come together to make sure Aiyawatt and his band of yes men **** off.

The key problem here is thats not a boycott, that is merely being a disgruntled fan, no different than the average Everton fan.

 

A boycott is the complete stopping of funding and support towards the entity that is King Power.

 

Once you turn up to the match, you have already cemented yourself as a customer.

I agree with this, but it needs to be proper organised protests.

 

The chants, boos, etc. have been going on since 2022 yet the club carry on ignoring the fans.

But I'm saying a boycott will do very little.

 

What do you think would be more uncomfortable for the owner, 25k there with 5k empty seats in the home end, or 30k there with 5k chanting anti King Power stuff?

To achieve that 5k in synchrony, it would need to be organised properly. So far, there hasn't been a group to get it going.

……..At 85, I’m not sure Geoffrey is the answer to our woes.

I would say that they haven't.

 

Saturday was the worst Leicester performance I can think of since the first half of the Wolves game last season. Could only really hear a small section of the safe standing (UFS) chanting for Rudkin out and half the stadium was empty by the time the full time whistle blew.

 

Too many Leicester fans have given up. It's all doom and gloom and just going through the motions. Not enough people willing to make their opinion heard.

but yet you still keep on paying to NOT be there? whats the point of that

Because I still do away games and previously if you gave your ticket up, you’d not get it back.

25-27, so East Stand rather than Kop but we're in SK1 in the corner. I'd say on average takes me 10-15 mins to get in most games. Can't remember the last time I was there in time for WYS and I'm usually showing up at least 10 before kickoff.

 

Portsmouth was my last game and I got in 5 minutes in, was a 15 min queue.

[Gamble92]

Why isn't there an attendance for Saturday?

I protested at the one last season and if I wasn’t staying away from matches in protest I would be there

Must be a fan footfall v number of turnstiles there then as there is never a queue or problem at any Kop turnstile other than the one incident I said which occurred all around the ground that day.

No they wouldn't, there's no criteria to turn up or scan your ticket.

 

If there was I'd already have my ST revoked as I've hardly gone for the past couple of years as it's a waste of time.

 

I won't be there at the KP for the next few home games, my own personal boycott started yesterday, got better things to do with my time.

The irony of your username

Yep, loyal for wanting the long term future of my club secured, rather than pissed down the drain by a grown baby and his lover.

 

Or I could keep attending spending £100 a game and clap the ***** off every week, like 25k people seem to.

Your "protest" isnt making any point whatsoever, the only person missing out is you, youre still paying for a thing youre not watching.

 

Is top going to see your empty seat and go oh crikey, id better sell up now a disgruntled little foxestalker isnt coming anymore.

 

No,  he thinks youre a mug because youre still paying him regardless

 

Hit him in the pocket and give your ticket up COMPLETELY

I keep the ticket for the social aspects, rightly or wrongly, those 4 or 5 games a season, that's why the ticket is kept.

 

I don't expect Top gives a flying **** whether a couple of thousand people aren't coming. 

 

I lost my points a few years back and I've never recovered from that, hence why I'm reluctant to lose them all again. 

 

And I don't mean to sound like a twat, but £40 or whatever it costs me, I really couldn't give a **** about that money. I'll sell it for some of the games and recoup £25 a game, I'll miss a game and do an overtime shift, that's the ST money paid for for another 12 months.

So you sell the ticket so it doesnt look like an empty seat anyway, whilst going to work overtime to earn the money that replaced the money you spent on the ticket and then didnt go, when you could have just not gone, not paid in the first place, and then not had to work overtime, and socialised with your mates instead of working.

 

You sound like a very confused individual.

[David Hankey]

It's quite a conundrum but fortunately doesn't affect me as I did not renew my season ticket after the first relegation a couple of seasons ago.

 

Having said that I would be reluctant not to use my season ticket having used my hard-earned cash in buying one in the first place.

But then I couldn't do any away games could I, as I need the ST in order to do that.

 

Just realised you're a troll anyway (new acc and all that), fair play had me there for a few minutes.

The second bit is the difference, and that's where the club seem to have you by the balls in attending. Yes I shouldn't maybe buy the ST, but I have and it's paid regardless, so that time, effort and extra money is watching this dross play, isn't worth it. I'm lucky that losing £25 every 4 weeks means piss all to me.
