Thread: This does now beg the question of another boycott against a top 4 side

    This does now beg the question of another boycott against a top 4 side

    On the one hand, if done properly it would send a very strong signal out to Tan as it would be extremely well publicised, but on the other, I can well imagine any boycotters would be very quickly replaced by a mixture of day out families, plastics and away fans.

    Tricky one for the campaigners if that's what the draw brings.

    Well probably draw Gillingham or someone anyway.

    I'm hoping we get Blyth Spartans at home.....a nice sub-2000 crowd!

    Highly likely, but as long as it's a possibility, it needs considering.

    It'd be a stupid move to even try it against a top 4 club. The club would be able to sell any tickets to to the general public and then claim a victory over any boycott.

    I wouldn't count this game as a real boycott, more just the general poor feeling the club is creating means it's easy to miss games.

    So as I was saying, what effect would a boycott have when Colchester are in the next round

    If Colchester get into the next round mate, I think we can safely say the Cardiff City fourth round tie will be a total boycott.

    And, like the league cup game v Bournemouth that is how most outsiders will see us.

    Can't see it happening personally.

    Think staying outside after the march would be best so the media can see how many are not going in would work best, or at least delaying going in.

    This doesn't count as a real boycott for many fans but hopefully all those saying they'd never miss a game because it's where they see their mates etc. are now more open to it. We don't have to have a mass boycott but it needs to be a possibility.

    How would you convince a South Wales based Man United fan not to buy a ticket because normal fans have boycotted? It would be impossible hence it would be stupid to even try it.

    If would be better to protest in the ground if at all I suppose. Man United fans would just be in the home end anyway otherwise

    A real statement would have been for thousands to go in. Transfer themselves to the Canton, raise dlags and sing, invade the pitch if need be. But it's far easier to say fck it and go to the pub instead.

    That would have been great but no one thought of it.

    Although I stand by my view of wanting Tan to stay but change his stance on the colours / badge, so we can all unite and move on.

    You are right going to the pub is easier than going to jail.

    Do you genuinely believe that will happen though?

    For me personally I just didn't want to go, it's just not a nice place to be anymore, I have nothing to prove to Tan.

    Too much emphasis on psychology and one upmanship against Vincent but in simple terms if the club no longer appeals to you just stop attending.

    However I'm one who wouldn't want a ban. Also im a long way away at the moment. Thirdly I doub many would take any notice of me !

    I don't ever remember this being a game where an official boycott was organised. It was more a mixture of continual shite football and atmosphere at previous games, the opposition, it was live on to and general apathy with the club and Vincent Tan. A boycott will happen but let's see if any progress is made with the planned protests 1st.

    I still wanted us to win and enjoyed watching it from the sofa, but not really a boycott.
