You would do better with a mass walkout after X mins than a boycott.

The cameras would be on you longer than a quick pan of empty seats.

 

Mate, don't over complicate with an 'it'd be better if....'

 

West Brom is a boycott..Simple as. 

 

Organise yourself a walk out / protest / banners another day,.another game. For this,.just skip it. Nice and easy.

I'll boycott, happy to do so. Just like I have since the Ipswich game. Because I'm having a far better time watching the Ashes in Australia than watch this pathetic mess stumble to another defeat.

I obvs know what you mean but the irony of this is brilliant

People are really overthinking this. Boycott because that’s how you feel. If it doesn’t take off for this one game, so be it, just keep doing it and bringing it up whenever possible until it is common knowledge.

 

You will not be missing any classic matches against West Brom, Oxford and Charlton. You’ll realise how easy it is after you’ve spent a few Saturdays in the pub instead.

It's already been picked up by segments of the media. People in essence are already boycotting because things are so bad - we've seen the lowest home attendances in years.

 

Away games are a non-starter as maximum of 3k can go anyway, the Derby game was too soon, Oxford too far.

Why can’t it be Oxford as well? As it stands I will boycott that as well unless something changes in the meantime. Nothing will change if this is a one off. Protests need to build momentum and Monday might not be the biggest success but if things carry on as they are , in a few games time I bet the numbers protesting will increase dramatically even though will still be a minority. It has to start somewhere.

Alternatively Oxford could be time for an in ground protest in which case I would attend although I am running the risk of getting a smack from some KP fanatics as I nearly did last time I protested.

This is key thing to decide, continue with boycotts or step up matchday protests - or a hybrid.

Yes we are not attending,sick of watching poor players who are not really trying that hard.Will carry on with our season tickets

Indefinitely as we support LCFC Indefinitely. However we  won't be attending again until the efforts and skill levels improve.We will be with the club long after the King Power group have gone and also the opinionated plastics have reverted back to their previous hobbies.

Me and my mates are boycotting this, but will still be meeting up to book a European game on the day of Stoke away. Technically another boycott.

 

Up the Citeh. Thanks for turning good fans away :appl:

I’d recommend boycotts being singular in the first instance. Otherwise you lose momentum and people who may be undecided are much more willing to give up 1 game rather than 10. 

 

It also allows you to step it up to more regular boycotts if needed. Start at 0 and work up to 100, you can always dial up but you can never dial down.

 

See how the boycott on Monday goes to get feelers for the appetite. Anything from 10% extra empty seats visually compared to a normal game along with it being mentioned on TV can be seen as a win. Ignore the official attendance.

 

Once this has passed, consider the next step, a peaceful protest pre-match (walking from the city centre to the stadium) or a visual in stadium protest like entering x minutes late.

If it’s an in game protest it has to be very well supported and pretty disruptive.

 

If it isn’t both it will be easily ignored. I remember the Blackpool fans throwing tennis balls on the pitch and then they staged a mid-match sit in which caused the game to be abandoned. That got attention but I highly doubt a good number of our fanbase will partake in this as they’d risk a life ban from this lot.

 

I don’t think there’s much point having banners and chants that the TV will barely pick up.

Blackpool are doing well now ?

Three season ticket holders here cant go anyway due to the fixture movement for TV!!

However after braving the freezing conditions at Bramhall Lane, and watching the dross that was served up,  It is a blessing in disguise!!

I listed to When You're Smiling and thought Ollie and the other chap explained the boycott very succinctly and eloquently, well done and well worth a listen.

Of course it can. No one has said otherwise.

Exactly this. Success or failure, this won't be the only boycott for sure. The poor results will just compound the attendance too. 

 

With this crazy league we are 10 points from the drop and only 6 from the playoffs. A swing either way will decide if the members/general public want to part with upwards of £70 for a ticket to see us play. If the ST holders stop going, its gonna be empty.
