Hands on Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 It was rather sad to sit in the Main Stand after 27 years of support with the intention of not renewing my season ticket in the North Stand. I just needed to remember how shit the seats are and to reacquaint myself with the pillars. I have however an alternative plan which is to go to a dozen away games. I only make 2 or 3 at the moment. I would then still be supporting my team but apart from the cut home clubs take for selling away tickets (if they do) I won't be supporting Marco (I do prefer Murco but Marco it is). I would then buy a season ticket if and when Marco says goodbye. Not renewing, very hard to do and I might yet break, does two things. It hits Marco in his pocket and it is a vote against him. He should get the message but it might not matter to him depending on why he is here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1906 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I don’t really see the long term benefit of boycotting to be honest. If you take it to it’s ultimate conclusion then we get less of a crowd, therefore less encouragement for the players, less revenue coming through the turnstiles, all potentially adding up to poorer performances, less money for recruiting new players, a worse league position, possibly even relegation. If all that happened then AL would have a hell of a job trying to sell the club. Each to their own of course, but I’ve renewed my season ticket. What else am I going to do on a Saturday afternoon? Go and watch Rochdale or Salford? No thanks, I’m a Latics fan. Have been since 1965, and I support the club no matter who’s in charge.

Someone could come in and make immediate revenue by selling new season tickets (pro-rated if it’s in the new season). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corney really struggled to sell it when we was in League 1, we are in an even worse position now so I can’t see them queueing up to buy the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people spotted the asking price wasn't in proportion to the proper value of what was being sold. Bury was sold recently and they were clearly in a worse financial position than we were when Marco bought us. Football is a worldwide business and some people have spotted that buying a lower league club can prove to be better value than a more established side.

I don't think we are with much of a sniff of finding someone similar - if I was in such a position I'd be looking for a club with a decent fanbase and relatively limited local competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not going to put tecnically insolvent, but then I thought well we had £7,000 in the bank at last accounts, can't neccesarily get the football creditors to pay any quicker, the owners eems to have ;imited funds, and precious little to flog so I thought I was on safe ground!!

mikeroyboy Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 12 hours ago, Dave_Og said: Bournemouth Ah yes, Bournemouth. A stinkingly rich owner with identifiable businesses in this country. Im pretty sure (on Eddie Howe’s advise) he choose not to develop the stadium when reaching the Premiership. Intimidating the opposition with a cramped environment and little support was the reasoning. Unique and effective. And then, probably one of the most loyal player and talented managers I can recall in well over 60yrs as a footy fan. Howe spent most of his playing career at Bournemouth and started his coaching career under John Bond at Bournemouth while still playing. Moving on seemlessly to manage them. Home sick after a dalliance at Burnley he returned to Bournemouth and the rest is history. A perfect storm, but pure and unimaginable luck for Bournemouth fans. The history of the Football League is littered with other perfect storm stories. Joe Royle was ours. None of of them are planned but for some reason some fans think they are.
