What about if it could be organised that all the boycotters go to the ground still but protest before, during and after the game outside?

 

A few hundred people would be quite noticeable. 

Personally like the idea of having a sore throat from shouting on my team during the game and then shouting about the way this club is being run after it....Brilliant.

We have flu so have inadvertently joined the boycott. Pity no darts to watch on TV instead of this game, unlike last week.

As said over and over. These can be future plans.

The Boxing Day farce was a turning point for me. First mention of a boycott for this one, I'm in.

So glad I didn't renew this year. Completely disinterested these days with KPFC.

I see the happy clappers are calling themselves the loyal fans that have been there through the good times and bad. Theyre the kind that yearn for midtable championship hoofball and used to berate players like Mahrez and Barnes for daring to do anything with flair.

As far as im concerned the KP brigade and KP themselves have ruined the club beyond recognition.

The best part about boycotting, is you can use those 90 mins to kick back and have a drink not having a care in the world about the match happening.

 

Then after 90 mins, open your phone, check the result, see we didn't win, then have a giggle.

So an immediate 12 point deduction and that's just the start of it. The bad certainly outweighs the good these days.

Correct... 

How do you see tops stewardship ending?

I would be interested to know how many of the match going fans, read this forum. It would appear that most of the ones advocating boycotting games, don’t go anyway. Those of us who go to the games do not need the approval of any other fan to do so. I would have thought that vocal disapproval of thousands of fans, would be more effective than a few hundred empty seats. If you really want fans to join in with protest chants, you have to stop indulging yourselves with the C word. But no, you insist on using it, then wonder why not many join in.

I'm expecting the atmosphere to be on a par with a Red Star vs Partizan game....

But it’s not there.

Barely more than a hundred seemed to join in with sack the board the other day.

Can't blame people not joining in if they're isolated either. They've seen what can happen to people voicing their discontent even in biggish groups now.

Who's "you"?

 

Also, your first point is way wide of the mark. No one I know is going and the majority of them are P1 away priority.

 

Your circles aren't representative of the whole fanbase either, remember.

For future protests, we could take a lesson from history - the 'Pleat Out' years. One lone voice (in the old main stand) straining 'Pllleeeeeeaaaat' ....pause .....then the crowd around (not many I may add, even then) would yell 'OUT'

 

Sack the Board  chants are a bit lame, as there isn't a board. Not in the proper business sense. And Leicester people just aren't very singy full.stop. We're very introvert people/fanbase.

I don’t have “circles”. My question was reasonable. It didn’t warrant such an obtuse response. If you check back to the many pieces on this subject generally, much of the advice is followed by, “ I stopped going blah blah…….. “.My own little circle of 1, would dearly love to see a big change at the top of my club. Until then, I will carry on supporting whoever wears the shirt on that pitch, but will gladly join in with vocal protests against the hierarchy.

Obtuse? All I asked was who you were referring to when you say "you". 

 

Fair enough you don't know anyone else that goes, but that would make you even less qualified to take the temperature of the wider fanbase.

[Big Dave]

I imagine quite a few people wont be going tomorrow night due to the weather, and people with kids may not go as it is night game, so will make the boycott like bigger than it actually is.

Two sets of supporters were vocal against the board at the last two games and both were subject to acts of violence.
 

If you ask me, boycott seems the most sensible at the moment without wishing to set off an absolute fire cracker

Guarantee Top's minions will report back to him and tell him that it was the weather that affected the attendance

 

Nothing to see here

I'd personally be surprised if there's fewer than 25,000 there tomorrow night. However, if the actual attendance is even lower for the reasons you've mentioned, I'd argue these reasons count as part of the boycott. Were large groups of people missing night games 3 or 4 years ago because of the weather or kids being back at school? Not really. People being prepared to miss games for those reasons is a sign that people are losing interest in going to watch their team because the club is in a bad way. That counts as part if the boycott as far as I'm concern. I'll reiterate though, I'd be surprised if there are more than 6000 empty seats in the home end tomorrow night.

It will be the way the media perceive any action which hurts them more

Has there been in much in the way of attention or focus from any of the main LCFC social media reporters such as Percy, Collomose, Tanner, Henry Winter etc etc?

Tanner's given up on reporting on Leicester.

I would boycott if I bothered going anymore but I can fully understand season ticket holders going tomorrow if they've paid their hard earned money for their season tickets. 

 

That's the only reason I can possibly imagine for wanting to go though. We're dreadful to watch, boring and will likely lose or get a miserable draw. I know you should support your team through thick and thin and I'll watch it on TV because I have nothing else to do, but I have truly fallen out of love with this club for now. 

 

I had a season ticket in the championship when I lived in Newcastle and went to nearly every game. I wouldn't dream of doing that now. I just really hope I get the love back. 

 

Hope as many of you boycott as possible.
