Boycott Poll

[jayfox26]

Anyone who has said they aren't boycotting, or dont agree with the boycott, what's your reasoning please? I've seen a few have already put reasons on like @Chelmofox and @Bourbon Fox but im genuinely interested to hear views of people that dont agree with the boycott. 

 

Also anyone that has resold their ticket, you do understand that defeats the objective 

[Muzzy_no7]

If Chelsea can muster protests while we can’t then we really are f***ed

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. 

Agree with all of this.

It genuinely breaks my heart to be doing it, and it feels like it would be easier to put in the effort to head down like I have done 900+ times before.

 

Those at the top (pun intended) of our club need to realise the damage they are doing and take action to avert disaster very, very quickly. 

 

The empty seats are clearly having some type of impact as they have stopped immediately publishing attendances where actual STH attendance is down, which would make them look stupid (like nothing in the past has looked even worse!).

 

Hopefully this one looks even more empty and shames them into *something*.

When you watch Abduls 60 yard goal against Ipswich, the amount of empty seats is really noticeable. Even I feel a bit embarrassed seeing the number of empty seats. Any more than that for the boycott and I'd say it will have been a success.

I genuinely don't think that was due to people not attending. It could be a reason but I think it's more likely it was people piling down to the concourse for food/drink before half time! Which is even more worrying considering what's on offer down there! Loads of people around me had gone down before the half time rush and missed the goal of a lifetime!

Probably a fair point. That is obscene given the goal was like 8 minutes before half time. 

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

I'm fully behind the boycott. Haven't put the tickets for resale either. Hope the ground is empty. 

 

In fact I have actually decided I'm not going home or away now until this manager is gone. I want KP out obviously as they're the root cause of the decline, but this manager **** me is the worst I've seen and that is hard with Ruud only a year ago.

 

[foxtillidrop]

Be interesting to see how many season ticket holders potentially don't renew for the 26/27 season.

 

Had my season ticket around 11 years but losing the passion for it after seeing our demise - painful to watch and is impacting my general mental wellbeing negatively.

 

The general standard, hunger of the players and fitness levels have dropped away like anything.

 

Feels as though we are stuck financially and that we don't have the right expertise to steer the club in the right direction.

There are multiple reasons the first being it will achieve nothing because you have no clear plan or can articulate what success looks like. Second I make my own path in life and don’t simply follow. Third I have paid out 40000 for season tickets and have already invited clients to join us. Fourth I enjoy football even if it comes from the opposition. Fifth it’s an evening out that I enjoy even if it is just to abuse the overpaid lazy twats on the pitch. Sixth there is no other live football easy to get to that night. However those of you who want to boycott please proceed and the more the better the traffic after the game will be so much easier to depart.

Could we see the smallest attendance at the KP for a league fixture. Lowest was 8k against Middlesbrough though that was down to the heavy snow fall.

It will certainly be more than 8k. 

 

Those that are going, we should encourage them to sing for change most of the game, whatever happens on the pitch. So then it includes those that still feel they need to go, to make it known the reasons for the boycott. I know it might be too much to ask, but at least then fans are on the same page, but doing it in their own way. 

[DDub]

Completely agree with the boycott, I would join in, but my dad wants to go and don’t want to leave him in the lurch.

Don’t see the logic . Chelsea have had many opportunities for protests over the years. 

[Bunchy the cat]

People saying we need to take a stand if we love the club. But staying at home is the easy option. If we had anything about us we’d get something properly organised like when Wednesday came to us first game. Or at least get yourself down the ground to protest while the game is in play. Otherwise we’re in danger of just looking fickle, something that a lot of fans of other clubs are literally obsessed at calling us out for already 

[Parafox]

Friend of mine is a full on LCFC supporter and has a box. He's going with his family as they do every home game as they have for years. (It costs him a lot but he gets some kind of tax relief if he invites guests apparently, but that's besides the point).

 

Sadly, they're happy clappers. I've tried to discuss our issues with him and mainly his response is "well KP (Vichai) paid for the best training ground in Europe/The World/UK" (or whatever the claim is). So we should be grateful. Rudkin signed some of the best players we've seen at our club and helped steer us to become the PL winners and the FA cup win. He doesn't appear to fully accept what is happening now. He does seem to be living in a cocoon of the past and I think that's true of many such as him.

 

He does however agree that the players are overpaid, poor and uninspiring by comparison to our best years and that the general management of the club is below standard. 

 

That's about it. No anger, no sign of real frustration. Just, kind of, this is what it is for us right now. 

[Jakemoore]

I’ve never had a ST owing to the fact that I’ve always lived well outside of Leicester. But I’ve always had a membership and gone fairly regularly to games. 
 

I haven’t been to a game since Fulham away last season and I don’t intend on going any time soon. I refuse to give the club my money right now. 

[Lambert09]

I think if you’re aware this is happening it’s pretty shameful to be going.  Maybe you don’t think it will help but we have to try something.

I have absolutely no faith in this fanbase to save the club because this attitude is the majority.

This is the crux of the issue, this portion of the fanbase refuse to look at today and what is relevant today.

How is he still banging on about us 10 years ago and during Covid lockdown football when we're in the mess we're in right now?

 

Aston Villa were in the Championship during Covid, that tells you everything you need to know how irrelevant those talking points are.

Theres the problem everyone, professional football is treated as "an evening out".

I'd like to think most of us here turn up to games to take 3 points.

 

Leicester has amazing restaurants of cuisines from everywhere, outdoor activities, cafes, shopping,  a ton of lush parks to stroll.

Why do you cram yourself into a rotting 32k stadium for a "day out" when you can do the above?

I assumed when reading that post initially it was satire, unbelievable if not. 

 

Each and every one of those points being a selfish point of view rather than what is best for the football club they apparently support, says it all about society in general these days.
