Not relevant to the boycott - but I’ve just read about Curle’s aim of top ten and it got me thinking when was the last time we actually finished in the top ten? Must be nearly 15 years? Suppose it depends which top ten youre talking about.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I remember watching Boycott take nearly 8 hours to score 17 runs. Christine of Blackpool isnt wrong. I dont have that level of patience or indeed, (comma for mikey) that amount of time anymore. In any case, i just want to see my team "play". I will be going. And, by going, i mean sat in front of my 75inch Android TV at midnight with my usual 3-4 500ml German beers and a couple of large Maker's Mark for dad. Who will be with me in spirit. IFollow permitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a boycott, then. That's just not turning up because we're shit. Which people have been doing for years. I'd rather the number of fans attending stayed high and they make it clear to the owners that they're no longer wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeP Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I support PTB - or anyone - who voluntarily tries to change things. But I've never thought a boycott was the way to go. Doesn't mean PTB can't change their strategy, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw today people won't put up with watching that every week especially when so many while in attendance today haven't made the commitment of season tickets.

I think only when attendances get to less than 4 figures will anyone notice...even then, as I say, it'll be interpreted as due to poor team performance, rather than any sort of message being sent. We've lost four times as many fans as we've got left since the Premier League days. At no point was that considered "a protest"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really - could have been over 5k without a boycott. Quite a few will have gone today after not having being able to go anywhere for nearly 2 years and will drift away pretty quickly.
