singe Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Push the Boundary have announced the results of the survey and a full boycitt by pay on the day and season ticket holders has been called. Urge fans to help them make a strong statement and push for change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG123 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I will boycott the game. However I do feel a mass walk out after say 75 mins would have been a better way to vent our feelings. Would also have been easier to encourage fellow supporters to join in on the day that do not have access or use social media. Just my humble opinion.

Trouble is it's fine if we're 3-0 down but if it's 1-0 down and peppering the goal it become much more difficult to be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think a % (and it would only be a %) getting up and walking out at a certain point would make a big visual impact. In addition, by attending and walking out, you have already given the regime what it needs i.e. your cash to get in - starving them of their lifeblood is the correct way in my opinion. Well done, again PTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I’m not sure that matters. Any protest is two fold here then isn't it, if you have a season ticket but wish to show your displeasure then the only way that can be done now is by not turning up. As you have said they already have season ticket holders money but for one game currently those season ticket holders are able to make their numbers count in protest in this way. Conversely, it is unlikely that there will be a huge financial impact as many people became disenfranchised at the end of last season and have either chosen not to renew or are pay on the day attendees who have stopped going by now anyway, current numbers through the turnstyles indicate a silent boycott already. I suspect the bulk of recent attendances (Salford aside) are comprised of current s/t holders and freebies. A vocal and publicised boycott will still send a much clearer message out and if fans choose to head over to Avros the numbers will be tangible. Imagine if Avros can get a record attendance whilst less than 2,000 turn up to watch Oldham, there is no doubt then as to fans feelings towards current stewardship. For the record I am very much of the opinion that fans can and should be able to choose to do whatever they wish without criticism or comment from others whether that be attending games or not but it is tragic to see the club dying as it is currently and I fail to see what options are out there to get the message across that the current way of dealing with matters is unacceptable and will only lead to the death of our club.

deyres42 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 The money is irrelevant, the important thing is the visual. You'll still get some idiots turning up, I would urge them to congregate in the Main Stand leaving the other two home ends empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester Owl Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Can we please not insult people who do choose to attend. As the PTB guys have said - and I’d say their tone/approach has been bang on so far - individuals are entitled to do as they wish. We mustn’t fight among ourselves - it will only help .

I think its do-able at AVRO if say 100 boycotters should turn up. The record crowd at Chadderton is substantially higher (over 2500 I understand) so it would take a massive number to boycott Latics to achieve that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losesome Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Problem is with latics fans at the moment is they can protest all they won't but AL isn't interested and just dismisses these type of spontaneous actions with utter contempt. The biggest problem though is that there is no credible alternative put forward. I know little about FLG or PTB which in itself is testament that they lack any structure and little clarity on what they want to achieve and how the club should be run in the future. All they seem to promote is AL out , then what!!!! The whole thing needs proper structure with some financial backing from serious investors to even begin for a meaningful campaign to get going. As for the constant slagging off the so called happy clappers in the main stand , yeah I'm probably one, we don't support the boycotts etc because most probably they don't know about it. To us the FLG or PTB are a group of a few athleticos who organise these things after a night out on the lash. Probably wrong I know but that's the impression given out. For instance, if having a boycott for the Carlisle match then you should have some leaflets printed explaining how the boycott would work , what impact it hopes to achieve and what's next etc etc. These could have been handed out at the last 2 home games to achieve maximum impact. At the moment it appears that any protests are organised on a whim via social media hence the attitude of the ckub towards it. I would suspect the happy clappers attitude to these groups is the same as yours towards the happy clappers. If you want to make a serious impact to AL's ownership then start by getting every fan on board to what you want to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
