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. That won't be because of any boycott, I reckon 4000 in that weather today would have been more than they were expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go that far they have given themselves enough wiggle room. 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. Seen a lot lot worse over the years than I saw today. Not much going forward but hopefully that will change when Baham and Hope are playing.

We we're beaten 1-0 at home to footballing superpower Newport County the player who scored the winning goal today is so old he died 10 years ago when Harry Potter killed him. We didn't even manage a shot on target. That.is.shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamHughes Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 It’s ineffective.I know maybe 3 people who’ve boycotted.Folks have been starved of live sport for a year or more.The attendance today considering the non existent Newport supporters wasn’t bad.Guess like the team it will reveal itself over the next couple of months.

On topic: boycott? Let’s be honest its just a dozen or so people from here and a few of their mates. The other stay-aways are just bored/disheartened… not actively ‘boycotting’.

wiseowl Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Simple fact is that most people do not stick to their principles. I`ve always strived to do so, even when it is difficult. Personally, I cannot fathom anyone wanting to give this regime one single penny of their hard-earned cash - and I never will again. I agree - the boycott failed miserably - what a message it would have sent to have had a sub 1000 attendance first game of the season. Wouldn't really have been that much of a sacrifice (i.e. not to attend) to possibly achieve the greater good would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure we'd have had closer to 5k season tickets sold rather than just over 2k at the prices offered if fans were on board with the regime.
