Go for a fast run and evaluate if you've got the morals to stop attending for the greater good. I've seen the club in the doldrums many times, you need to understand it's watching the team we love no matter what league they are in - not about who who runs the club. You show a lot of disrespect for people who won't follow your agenda, particularly the elderly. You stay away if you like, but you need to accept I and many won't no matter what you say.

You're talking like no one wants to watch the team we love. The issue is the club won't be here for long without action. It won't affect you much at your age but younger generations may lose their chance to see latics play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have already stated you don't want to watch the club you are supposed to love. Age has nothing to do with it, young and old will come back to watch the team if Shez is succesful whether AL is here or not. If Shez isn't successful some will fall away anyway because fans in the main want good results. It's the same the world over. If you think you can persuade fans to not follow a winning team just because of AL you won't have much success no matter how many times you post on here. And also I suspect you will be back yourself as you have done on occasions before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are confusing people being prepared to make the sacrifice of not seeing the team they love play at Boundary Park with not wanting to. Some of us are prepared to make that sacrifice to try and save the club in the long term. I can only speak for myself, but I won't be back until the owner, his incompetent brother and the loathsome Owen are gone no matter what short term success Shez might have.

Which is fair enough but by starving the club of money fans may well accelerate the clubs demise, it's a shit situation and one with very few winners, there are no guarantees that the action the protest groups is taking will work and as I've said before somebody somewhere is going to have to speak to Abdallah at some stage.

I largely agree with your stance and take on this but you keep saying the bit in bold like no one is willing to do this. He has been approached for talks not just from PTB, OASF and the BPAS but also, if reports in the press are to believed, potential buyers/investors (crackpot bitcoin man & Barry Chaytow) You can only speak to someone if they're willing to speak to you, I'm sure you've experienced similar when the Mrs/Mr has been pissed off with you. The only willingness from Abdallah to talk this year, is club statements, Barry's horseshit and a rant on Talk Sport about people "Putting our heads on things" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not interested in speaking to anyone though is he? I have my doubts about him selling the club at all…… He intimated that the club is speaking to credible bidders who have provided proof of funding and have signed an NDA. I call bullshit!!!

The results are the reason to protest. Bunn had us up there at one point. I don't recall people coming back. If people think this protest is results based they're sadly wrong. The results on the pitch are one of the outcomes of the current ownership, which is what thousands take issue with. Treatment of staff, creditors, fans etc are all also outcomes of the ownership.

The consequences of boycotting are something we can only make our own best guess on and act accordingly. I was just pointing out that it's not about not wanting to attend.

Fair comment, Abdallah in my view wants to sell in fact two potential buyers are in the wings the complication seems to be the North Stand and I suspect any buyer needs that clearing up, for whatever reason Abdallah is waiting for that to run its course but there is no denying that things have changed at the club and Shez is now calling the shots, no Abdallah no interference from Mohamed with the only real negative being shitpeas involvement which is strange to say the least.

I imagine the reasons, Previously I've "not gone" because of work, some other engagement or just not fancied watching another 90 minutes of crap rather than any real opinion on the ownership. My dad "hasn't gone" regularly since 2007 and not at all since Sheff Utd away on Boxing Day (2016)? Both isolated decisions and in my case intermittent absences. I haven't renewed my Season Ticket, the nail in the coffin being the closure of the North Stand and now the emergence of The Slug. The boycotters seem to be a more mass effort reasonig it will hit AL pocket and the results will be seen in the stands as opposed to how it isn't when it's just me not being there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
