Boycott Poll

[The Year Of The Fox]

The first question about agreeing about the boycott is a simple yes or no answer.

 

I know others have had what they deem to be better ideas, but whether you agree with the boycott is not is the only question needing answering

Shouldn't have split the votes in question 2. Could have just phrased it "Are you going to OR have you already been boycotting" in one question.

Has to be done in my opinion.

[BenTheFox]

A boycott wouldn't be my first choice but I'm willing to give it a go on this occasion. I've often thought that empty seats give the impression of apathy and it's better to show anger via chants, banners etc. However, that literally gets you physically assaulted at this point. Any action is better than no action.

This ownership couldn't care less about the noise or banners, hurt them where it counts in their pockets. 

The goal is to put Aiyawatt in a position where he financially SHOULD be selling the club because he has no other option.

Lets put this man past a point of no return.

I'm a season ticket holder that doesn't buy any food or drink in the ground, so me not being there makes no difference financially. I understand that I don't represent everyone though.

I think those folks can just answer “yes” 😜

Foxestalk will always produce a hard-line stance that will not be translated into what the everyday fan will do.  

 

I've seen it too many times over the years - you get excited in the FT world that something is gaining traction but it usually barely makes a ripple outside these realms. 

 

Sadly it's unlikely to be noticeable on Monday but that's not to say something couldn't be done to get publicity.

[Rubbersoul]

I think for a first attempt at a boycott to simply get media attention is a good start 

[Pliskin]

What some need to understand, there are more ways to skin a cat, there are also more ways to support your club. 
 

Going to every game clapping the lads on and off, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a “good supporter” support works in many ways, you’re allowed to go and get behind the lads, but you’re also allowed to protest…. We’re not protesting because we hate the club, we’re taking a stance because we’re fiercely passionate about it, and we’re frankly fed up, fed up of the bullshit emanating from the club, sick of this acceptance that this is “where we are”. It’s been said many, many times we are here because of complete negligence, incompetence…….

 

If you genuinely love your football, you’ll fight for it, take a stance for it….. don’t just sit there and watch it fall apart.

You’re not wrong. Plenty will still go. 

[Mike Oxlong]

Yes to all three questions isn't really a boycott at all is it ?

If the last 4/5 years has taught me anything, it's that FoxesTalk is an echochamber that is not representative of the broader fanbase. 

 

We have seen empty seats at many recent home games though. My hope is that enough people boycott on top of those already staying away to make the ground look sparse enough to be noticeable. 

[Chelmofox]

I understand why people want to, but going to games with my boy is one of the highlights of my week. If i went on my own or with mates then I would, and we might do at a later date.

[Sharpe's Fox]

More people won't go because it's cold than because they are making a conscious decision to boycott. A minority of people won't go because it's cold or a weeknight and then tell people they actively boycotted to virtue signal.

Go on loan to Leicester Tigers till the objective is achieved 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Celtic fans demonstrating against the board outside the ground after the Rangers game, maybe something to consider especially before or after a TV game would certainly gain media attention 

[00rawat]

Chelsea fans planning a protest as well!!

It is perhaps that foxestalk is at the bleeding edge of fan discontent, with the wider fan base being slower or more cautious to express their dissatisfaction. It will happen, but just so much slower (than foxes talk would like and it is thereby viewed as a divisive issue)

[Bourbon Fox]

Bought tickets as a Christmas treat for my 9 year old, before the boycott talk

 

At least I can encourage him to abuse a happy clapper I suppose

[Fox85]

Honestly anyone who is not boycotting the game and showing their displeasure on how the football club is currently being ran, do not give a shit about the club. They may say they are fans but are actually a huge part of the problem. 

 

If people are going and those that are going I hope they all turn their backs on the pitch for 10 mins in pure silence to atleast send a message

That's fair enough and an understandable reason to not join the boycott.

There will always be circumstances that mean you don’t necessarily want to take part. Those with young kids who are fans I would say there’s no pressure or expectation to take part!

Times you cannot get back, not even up for debate.
