TheBigDog Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 So the meeting with Abdallah has taken place and we await the write-up from the PTB boys. The brief tweet gives no indication on how the meeting went but does state that there was no request to sign an NDA. PTB had stated prior to the meeting that “There will be no review of the boycott, a boycott which has been highlighted as a concern by the club, until this meeting has taken place with Mr Lemsagam.” Following the meeting PTB has subsequently tweeted: “ For clarity, the boycott on Saturday will go ahead and the club has been made aware of this (and) are happy with our reasoning behind this” Given the efforts that the club has made this January, I believe that the number of fans who boycott the game on Saturday will be significantly reduced as will the impact of the boycott. I look forward to the full notes from the meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaddy14 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 The day the owner takes to the pitch in the blue short I'll boycott supporting my team. Until then, I'm a Latics's fan. Looking forward to seeing Rowe in action! Thanks to whoever is funding this decent signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archiecat Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I will be boycotting as I have previously stated, if others can be bought off cheaply then so be it. I had the clown's card marked from day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be some confusion. He owns the football club. And when you own a football club you have to do this thing called signing players. Preferably better ones than you've already got or ones you genuinely believe may become better than what you've got. They cost money. But if it transpires that they're as successful as you hoped they'd be you can then sell them on to other clubs for even more money. In the meantime you might climb the league, get more paying supporters in and maybe, just maybe, even get promoted or win something and get even more supporters & money in. Owners don't expect to be thanked for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeP Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 What was the deal with the boycott, then? Abdallah give free tickets away? The majority decided that we've won the whole of football because we signed Danny Rowe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority decided that we've won the whole of football because we signed Danny Rowe? There were clearly a few missing from the North Stand and while the RRE had more than normal in, they were more spread out, with fewer at the top, which is usually where the ST holders sit. The club have been handing out tickets in lots of places. I think there were quite a few boycotting today but those on freebies more than compensated for it.

disjointed Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It's obvious that to negate the boycott the club have given away a substantial amount of free tickets, you have to say that AL must be congratulated as this is the 1st signs of a plan.

singe Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 I suspect, as with the Salford game, the next match might actually have a more revelatory attendance. If there is no change in manager. And whilst they might lord it up. The bottom line is they know how many actually paid to get in and how much money they took, compared to other weeks and comparable weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will know for sure unless the number of free tickets given away per match is revealed. Pointless arguing with certainty either way. Next year’s season ticket sales will be a more accurate barometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention what % are concessionary or kids. I guess the attendance figures will be some kind of clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
