Protest

Do you think the weather would still have been a factor if we were on the fringe of the playoffs?

 

My own personal protest started after Brentford at home, My season ticket has not been used since. If you have a season ticket keep going if you have to, But purchase nothing at the ground.

 

I'm not saying the performance isn't a factor but given the weather last night and opportunity for many to watch on Sky I think people chose to watch in the comfort of their homes.

Im sure if we were in the playoffs more would have turned up, yes. I still stand by my belief that the weather was a major factor, though.

 

It worked for Nice.

 

The worst thing abart this season is the fact last year we watched a team come together and gain promotion, as a fan thats great stage one complete stage two is then watching that team pit their wits against on the whole better teams in the league above. Dont think we will see that ever again whilst we have these owners.

 

Another chunk of realism, even with impending relegation given we haven’t seen drastic increases I’m fully expecting season ticket prices to go up ! That’s how much of a grasp of reality our owners have

 

What you suggest IK is the only effective way. Stop buying merchandise, season tickets, matchday tickets etc.
I doubt it will happen though. We have had many seasons in the doldrums and it has affected attendances by
varying degrees in the past. I have been wondering if through Gally we could ask for a selected number of BBS members
to meet the Clubs Board or the CEO, to table our collective frustration at the current direction that the Club is going
in and try to seek some clarity on what their intentions are going forward. Surely as stakeholders, we've got a right to
know.?

 

Recently said he's got enough on his plate with buying Nice and financially supporting his cycling team.
Ruled out buying an English football club.

 

Isn’t he involved in a F1 team too

 

Not really, they quite happily ignored them until they got an offer worth way more than they paid.

 

Never bothered them at Nice though and they will always get bigger press than us.
No right or wrong here, I just think a protest is here and gone too quick where on going finances is a reminder every time they look at the balance sheet.
You’re right that the small amounts we generate won’t make a huge difference but at least the message might get through more consistently.

 

He is through his company Ineos who own Mercedes. He also owns FC Lausanne in Switzerland.

 

I like the idea but it won't work.

 

For anything to work against owners you need solidarity amongst the fan base and that will never happen. Look at Blackpool, they were in proper sh*t state yet they still had fans turning up every week.

 

100%.

 

2 relegations in 3 seasons under these new owners. We need owners that care. Not ones just here for the money we got from having a sell on clause for John Stones and them not realising every transfer is going to work like that.

 

That’s alright for you to say.... but if I’m there when one of the ten pies available is still there.... I’m having one!

 

And the red button gubbins.

 

Ratcliffes a total t.wat , Brexit supporting flag waver who f@cks off to Monaco tax dodging . Nice were top when he took over now 11th
