West Brom boycott

[Spanner73]

Like I said some will never ever see Khun Top in a bad light whatsoever even if it got to league one 

 

Give me strength

Giving Rodgers too much sway over transfers in Summer 2021 was the original sin

and a lot of us on here knew that at the time

[foxfanazer]

I hate Rodgers more than most people but to suggest this shit show lies solely with him is beyond delusional and speaks volumes about the intelligence of a section of our fanbase

Definitely need to follow up on this with another protest. Potentially a mini one at Cheltenham considering it's on TV again?

[LcFc_Smiv]

Plenty of comments from those against the boycott and specifically UFS for the atmosphere. From the TV my takeaways were:

-all the noise appeared to be generated by the WBA fans

-there were audible boos in parts when we made errors or were under the cosh

-the only rendition of any leicester related chant (its not a chant) was "your sh*t ahh"

 

Ill be honest, i sit in the moderate camp when you have people referring to others has happy clappers, likewise those referring to the boycott or those boycotting as toxic. I think its petty point scoring on either side. What it did highlight to me is the impact and the good that UFS have on our support.

My concern is when this is all over, our support hasn't enjoyed being away too much. 

 

It would be nice to see the ground packed out and backing a backable team again one day 

The team are rubbish, but that's not the issue here. The boycott is because people want changes in the way the club is run, and most ideally a change of ownership

Where's that then? A Premier League title win, two Championships, an FA Cup and a Community Shield? Not to mention a few European campaigns, including a semi final and a Champions League quarter final?

 

The failure is down to one man. Rodgers. He got us relegated with a squad of players that no competent manager gets relegated with. Finishing 18th instead of 10th cost us £30m in prize money that season and f**ked PSR for 3 years as a result. Everything that's happened subsequently can be traced back to that. Ironically, that hit drops off the psr calculator next year but is irrelevant because of psr being scrapped. 

Success is down to what Pearson built then, not the owners, if Rodgers is solely at fault for the decline

 Just marvelous! The one game I get to see all year and it’s a boycott. Sorry chaps I had to go with my boy as we travel back to California on Thursday so won’t get to see another game. Atleast we won.

 

The stadium was visibly sparse so many pockets of empty seats. West brommy fans taking the piss atleast we shut them up at the end. Marti barely in for me but Top needs to pull his finger out and take some action. We need fresh blood in January and throw Antonio up front

You are excused.

Yours is among the very few cases that this Court will accept.

Even our Chairman boycotted, after all

The loyalists want to believe that it’s the weather causing the attendance but anyway more of the same please !!! 

Absolutely bizarre. Is there another fan base where people are actively attacking their own fans (physically and online) so much?

 

I have seen on one of the general FB pages, some fans of other clubs have been asking what is going on. This is refreshing to see over comments like entitled and deluded. Some of our fans have been giving answers and explanations of what has gone wrong and why we are unhappy. I have noticed one particular individual jumping on all these comments, attacking the people and calling them deluded etc etc. 

 

They are incapable of reasoned conversation.

 

Sorry, didn’t seem directly about the weather but it is because that is one of the main topics they are piling on. Clearly that wasn’t just down to the weather as it has never caused that level of attendance on a general cold night before.

Oh yeah, I completely agree with it. 

 

I just hope people (including myself) don't enjoy being away too much, to the point we don't come back. 

[Clogger_]

Are they really trying to say the attendance was due to the weather? Like...really?! That's some crazy stuff. Didn't see many gaps in the away end

[Sol thewall Bamba]

These people just need to be ignored. It's like speaking to children, regardless of if you have evidence on the contrary, they've got a story in their heads and are too ignorant to sway from it. 

 

They would all rather die on the hill than admit they were wrong, I think the battle lines are clearly defined now, the two sides are established and there's not going to be much defection from either side until the bitter end, whatever that ends up being.

The disconnect and arguing, fighting amongst our fan base has come from 1 man only and his actions and treatment of our club over the last few years, this lies firmly at his door ! 
 

End of !!! 
 

No one else to blame

Genuinely seeing posts on social media saying "there was no boycott- it was the weather"

 

Agree with it or not. If even some fans boycotted - it existed!

[Pliskin]

If this is apparently all Brendan’s fault, then why haven’t the dynamic duo sorted it out since then? 
 

 

Literally some people’s blind loyalty to Top is in ****ing believable… how do you make it through every day life if you can’t bring yourself to accept Top is shit at his job?

If you could have gone (especially if you are a season ticket holder that had already paid for their ticket) but chose not to because of the weather, you boycotted. Simple as. 

[Terraloon]

The club had the luxury of hiding behind the fact that tickets (ST) were counted because supporters had paid for entry.

 

The time to make a real showing is if there is a FA cup home tie going forward and no one buys a stand alone ticket.

PSR works on a 3 year rolling cycle. Have a bad year financially (ie loose £30m in prize money) and it negatively impacts for the next 3 years. That's before you factor in the impact of the relegation (and subsequent lost revenue) itself. 

 

I've not defended Top anywhere but I'm amazed how much of a free pass Rodgers gets. 

 

Out of interest - what would you have wanted the owner to have done differently at the time, rather than with the benefit of hindsight? He couldn't put any more money in than he did thanks to PSR, so that's not an option. I remember people suggesting Rodgers should be sacked before he was (for example) and getting roundly shouted down.

The real issue was agreeing with Rodgers to appoint Congleton to oversee the bringing in of a lot of rubbish on huge wages. Obviously Top would have to agree that.

 

They went with that despite the fact he’d already done the same at Hamburg, West Brom and Sunderland beforehand with disastrous consequences for all. None of those had to deal with PSR in the aftermath either.

Definitely. Union FS were noticeably absent.

Many of us do not need hindsight, we noticed Brendan’s flaws way before the chairman and his fans.

Yep, I think that's right. And wasn't Rodgers son involved (maybe an agent)? All that takes time to unravel.

I did wonder that. Flash score had the attendance at 27,000
