    We will sell out no problem

    Dont worry. we will sell out.

    You seem to be an expert on selling out!

    There you go. That was about as non-personal as your little dig at those of us who are boycotting home games at the moment i.e. not at all.

    You’ve done your bit for the cause with your protests and organisation in Belgium. We are all fans and we are all - bar those who are happy with the regime - protesting in ways which mean the most to us. I follow every home game via here and Twitter updates and I roar every goal we score and it kills me every goal we concede and game we lose or draw.

    I have been going since I was 4 (1970), got a 10 year ticket when we came home and subesequent 5 and 4 year tickets. Went everywhere home and away.

    So stop being a dick and digging people out.
    Oh well, another personal 'dick'

    its getting a bit embarrassing really . You were doing so well.

    I think a lot of people are getting really precious about this boycott lark - just bloody go for christs sake. If you dont, its only your (and the teams) loss.

    Disagree entirely.

    Dont know about everyone else, but i'm really bored with people coming on here and saying they are still boycotting - come on here and say you are breaking your boycott and supporting the team else dont come on here at all.
    Had enough of all the negative shit.
    I'm bored with people like you digging out the boycotters constantly. And who the hell do you think you are telling people that they can or can't come on this forum?

    You do your thing and let others do theirs. If you don't like reading about certain things, then scroll on when you see them, just like many of us do when we see some of the crap you post.
    Wow, I've clearly upset some of the boycotters on here.

    @WestCountryAddick, hmmm, there's no need to get lary and personal with something/someone you disagree with - even with your 20 something likes it just shows you (and them) in a poor light - my comments on here have never been directed at a personal level and i would have expected a little bit more 'class' from yourself tbh.

    However, my original point still stands, i have always been of the belief that everyone is obviously free to make their own decision re boycotting - however for one game, and its one game ffs, put your differences aside, get behind the team and cheer them on to victory, surely thats what we all want?

    Ii am also of the belief that should we get to the semi-finals that anyone who boycotts the first should be put to the bottom of the queue in terms of applying for tickets for the away- after all, they werent prepared to go to the first, so why should they have equal rights to people who did go? It could be easily done, if you want a ticket for the away leg, then provide proof of a ticket from the home.
    Thats only fair.
    Why would you want to punish boycotters. I just don’t get it.
    Its not a case of punishing boycotters - its just about being fair to people who have gone to the home leg. if i had bought a ticket for the home leg but couldnt for the away but find that someone who had boycotted the first game got a ticket then i wouldn't be a happy boy.
    How many home games have you attended this season?
    1 - Walsall at home, Went in the Millennium lounge, lovely it was too, And we won.

    Not surprised by that really. It's much like selling a house... one that's in Bermondsey is far less expensive than one that's in Greenwich.

    ...and also if that house had the ability to up sticks and move? ;)

    But yeah I agree with you and Davo and others who have made the point. A few weeks ago I'd resigned myself to the fact that it wouldn't be until the end of the season. It's unfortunate because new owners will have less time to develop a strategy for the summer and next season (I really, really, really hope we keep Steve Gallon, he seems to have done excellent work), but it's a tournament year which means a lot of transfer business will be delayed until after the World Cup, which gives them a little grace period.
    I’m looking forward to us signing some Brazilian internationals after the World Cup.

    Well done ‘The President’!

    Outstanding!

    Just when this thread looked seemed to by dying and dropping off the front page you have risen to the challenge and singlehanded inspired a whole new lease of life. I doff my cap to you Sir.

    The “whooshing” of so many boycotting fans at the same time can only be described as inspirational. The announcement that you have only been to one home game yourself before popping off to bed left a tear on my cheek. Timing is everything in comedy!

    As far as I am concerned you have won post of the season by a country mile and if you were not to get a ‘promote’ it would be a travesty.

    P.S. Can you do a Wembley special on how Rolly gets a cut? Thanks.

    I've watched a lot on IFollow. !
  • Really not worth getting het up about it now.

    The protests, although making a little dent at the time, have had no significant impact on when this belligerent old chunt will jump!

    It may well be costing him a small fortune to stay, but it clearly isn't forcing his hand.

    Time to put our effort into getting this club in the best possible position it can be under the circumstances imo.

    Good post
  • How about we close this thread, pending any change as we now know nowt will happen until our league status is decided?

    Keep it going, it’s fascinating watching grown men acting like children.

    I would query the word "acting"

  • I thought we have had new owners for about 2 months now? Considering it was a done deal. I think the new owners are doing a fantastic job.

    Or just don’t open it.

    What's your point?
  • edited May 2018

    Blimey this thread has seen some very weird discussions (pot noodles, poetry, etc.) since its inception and now we have come to digging each other out again!! However, this time not about who knows more about The Takeover, its about people who still boycott, those that did and now don't and those that never did and the allocation of away tickets should we make the play-offs later today!! Now forgive me for being 'thick', but what the hell has the above got to do with the everlasting takeover, and moreover how does someone prove that although they didn't go to the home leg (which would be me), they weren't boycotting they had to be at work?
    Do I need to present a letter from my employer saying that I was unable to attend Thursday's home game due to work commitments, therefore please can he have a ticket for the away game? I do wish people would think before making comments!!

    Regarding your comment about being “thick” I think the point being made was pretty simple tbh.

    The team are in with a bloody good chance of promotion (form team entering play offs if today goes to plan) so let’s put the takeover circus to one side and support Bowyer and the team.

    To me that seems an entirely sensible approach
  • What is 'the takeover circus' exactly? Is it like Billy Smarts in the fast lane?

    Totally agree apart from the club are making it as difficult as fucking humanly possible for fans to buy tickets and give Lee and the team that support.

    I would query the word children although the first letter is correct
