The fucking buffoon! It is his business and he can run it how he likes. Then again it's my time and money and I dont have to go. Whether he likes it or not if he wants that business to work he needs the fans I.e. us onside. Because he can't replace us can he? Who is he going to get The United and City fans are going to start buying season tickets to watch Oldham in the national league are they? In the meantime the rent will be due the staff will need paying and the ground will need maintaining. None of which comes cheap. He needs us more than some of you realise.

Still a good couple of thousand down so the protest is having an effect, it would be half that if they hadn't announced it so early, I got a bit caught up with the Shez effect and regret buying although I probably only went to half the home games last season despite having one.

You'd imagine that this is the older lot as I imagine the older generationare less likely to boycott and without trying to sound too unkind, are less likely to have too many alternative hobbies to fill the void of Saturday afternoon. I reckon we will have the oldest average of season ticket holders in the league next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you get over 65 you are less likely to be playing sport and doing physical activities so that rules out a fair amount of alternative hobbies . As you will likely be retired and have children that will no longer be dependent on you so that frees up quite abit of time and in some cases money. Plus the older generation is going to find it harder to give up generally as it's something they may have done this their whole life. I'm not saying it is a given and it's the rule or that the over 65s have nothing better to do that woukd be unfair it would also be unfair to say that the older supporters don't want a change of regime or for things to get better. Just that you're average Athletico who may be young passionate and even a touch idealistic will be more likely to protest and boycott than your average OAP in the main stand. This isn't a dig at the older generation it's just my own observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a dig at the older generation it's just my own observations. Well this OAP has been running his own boycott for several years now. A boycott against shit football. I've only attended a few games per season, picking my games, seeing if things have improved, being disappointed. Going back when Shez came back. Falling away again when he wasn't backed by the owners. As for physical activities, well, I don't do cartwheels these days but get my adrenalin boosts from riding motorbikes all over the UK and Europe. So I do still get some kind of "boost" because lets face it, it's a long time since we had a boost at BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 77yo no, can run fast and have lots of outside interests. However, no matter the owner or which division we are in its the team I'm going to watch. Having been around in 1959 when the club was floundering I know even things can soon change for the better as happened in 1960. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 17 hours ago, GlossopLatic said: Just a reminder everyone buying a season ticket (and you all have your reasons I know) you are contributing to this man's and salary and lifestyle. An early bird season ticket for a senior costs £140… that works out at just over £6 per game. Living on a state pension, as many do, that represents value. So hold that thought for a minute. I cannot accept that this money is used in any other way than going towards the running costs of the club and towards paying wages/salaries. He makes NO money from owning the badge. He takes NO money out of the club. (*) So to say that this contributes to ‘this man’s salary and lifestyle’ is stretching a point somewhat. (*) In no way does this mean I support the guy or condone what his tenure has done to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
