ShireBlue Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 For me, it’s away games only for now. The North Stand reopening is a positive but I need to see the club do more to lift its reputation out of the toilet. I last had a season ticket in 19/20 and felt that over the years I had done ‘my part’, and the club wasn’t doing theirs. I can deal with us being shit on the pitch, but it’s everything else. Hopefully things will change soon and I’ll feel like I’m ready to retake my seat in the main stand paddock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlemoor Lad Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Some need to get over themselves and make a decision now Either get behind our manager, our players and the club they've loved supporting all their lives (no matter what) or just fade away into the background and enjoy mowing the lawn or whatever else they have planned on Saturday's, and bloody well stay there. Why be so damned miserable and put down others who can't wait to get back to BP? It's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why be so damned miserable and put down others who can't wait to get back to BP? It's sad. Irony alert. Miserable sounding person comes on message board to tell people to get over themselves, and fade away then asks, why put others down, before calling people he claims who do that - sad. Meanwhile, it turns out no one has said one thing about individual choice, and has in fact just debated (in a thread about boycotting) there reasons for going and not going.

We really would love to be there supporting the team but the bigger picture plays a huge part. I wouldn't denigrate anyone who wants to keep attending home games, it's all down to personal choice, enjoy your Saturday and I will enjoy mine.

dpwild Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Yes I will be boycotting. The club is dying and news about a stand opening has turned into something that is celebrated which is absolutely pathetic in my opinion. Hate everything the Lemsagams are doing and can’t get behind Curle and the dross he’s signed. Heading for another relegation fight in the basement division and to be perfectly honest the place doesn’t feel like Latics anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The stand issue hasn’t been sorted as a lot are saying. It’s going to be open to fans yes, but what about all those hospitality areas sitting empty? Only when that gets resolved and we start to look a bit like a normal club will I consider the stand issue “sorted”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester Owl Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 It's fairly easy for me to say I'm boycotting when in truth from the depths of Worcestershire I must be honest and admit that I don't get to more than 5-6 home games a season plus a few "local" aways in a normal season these days. I will go to some home games this season, I've been away too long. I respect both those who can't stay away from BP and are itching to get back in there, but also those who boycott in order to get the clowns out. At the end of the day we all want rid of the Lemsagams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people don't use the hospitality, obviously it is good to have but getting fans back in the cheap seats is far more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I'll be picking and choosing games, if we are winning I'll get to more, if not then plenty of other things to be doing of a Saturday, the boycott is poorly timed post Covid and probably won't be noticeable anyway.

basilrobbie Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 People must make up their own minds, but I found this thread a bit sad, to be honest. The "life is too short" argument is one that plays both ways I feel ; you may have a long, long time without a club if you don't fight for it while you can. For those who are boycotting, it won't take hold overnight. I wasn't among the very first boycotting at Blackpool, but a trickle turned into a flood for us. Good luck anyway. Freezing my 'nads off at BP has been a part of my life since I was a teenager. I'd like to continue to have the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the amount of fans who signed that petition. Do you want to point me in the direction of all these fans who have this wonderful feel good factor. Or are you going to keep your head buried in the sand like you have been doing for the last few years and pretend watching Oldham lose is somekind of badge of honour.

League one forever Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I know some will always go because of routine, or because they go with family. They accept it will be shit, but hey ho- that’s what we do. Fine. But there does appear to be section of fans who seem genuinely excited at our prospects. And even more bizarrely seem to wantonly ignore the facts in front of them. Which are. A thread bare squad with one quality player. A comfortably lower bottom half budget. (As says KC) An interfering SD who influences and at times tells the coach who can and can’t play. Boycott or not, surely no fair minded fan can be going to games thinking we’ve a got chance of anything above finishing in the bottom five?

Boycott or not, surely no fair minded fan can be going to games thinking we’ve a got chance of anything above finishing in the bottom five? In this league I believe we have a chance of finishing better than bottom 5. I think we may have more than 1 decent player, but I can't confirm that yet as the season hasn't started. Do I think we will go up, no not really, but I hope we do. Do I accept that there is interference from Mo, yes, but Curle may handle that differently than previous managers due to his character. Am I excited, yes because I have missed the football and the normality, I have worked throughout all the lockdowns and this feels like a bit of something to look forward to. I have no idea how we will do as a team, if Curle will walk after a fall out with Mo or if the North Stand fiasco will continue. I wouldn't be surprised if there are further problems off field. But I'm going on saturday to have a good day, I have no issues with those who want to boycott or voice their concerns / opinions during the game within reason. But please dont ridicule or make assumptions about the likes of me based on the fact I feel differently to you. I hope one day we can all be sat in BP watching a good team on the up with a club to be proud of again, how we get that is out of my control.
