FA Cup "Boycott"

[Loya Jirga]

In the event that Cardiff draw one of the "big" boys at home (including Swansea here) , and in the event that the game is televised by BBC - what will you do?

I didn't boycott the Colchester game, just couldn't be arsed. Haven't seen a home cup tie since Palace in 2012.

We could draw anyone in the next round at home and I wouldnt go.

Yes, I never attended but wouldn't class myself as boycotting it.

I keep on saying that not attending a game as a protest against the rebrand should involve a degree of sacrifice - seems to me many are using the word "boycott" to make the fact that they didn't go to a match where they had to pay to get in to watch a team that have been playing crap for months look more "cool".

It would be interesting if we did draw someone like Man United, Liverpool or Chelsea in the 4th round at home and how many would 'boycott' then? An organised boycott against one of those would get a lot of press coverage.

You're probably right, the floating supporter does want to watch games like that against opposition like that. Shame for Mr Tan, we won't be playing against teams like that next season.

The problem with drawing a big team is even if season ticket holders boycott the ground will fill anyway. Getting a big team at home would be a great chance to do a big protest in the ground though.

I would normally attend the FA cup 3rd round as its one of the best days in football, but I've finally had enough of Tan this last 18 months and thought this would be the first chance to boycott. I won't be renewing my season ticket next year unless we have a blue home kit either.

Getting a big team at home would be a great chance to do a big protest in the ground though.I've also seen an argument here where someone said "If I didn't buy my ticket, Tan would have sold it for more money to someone else". Again an argument where I cannot get the logic.

Personal choices, but I can't quite understand the logic of "I'll boycott, but if the ground is full I'll go because some one else will sit in my seat anyhow".You aren't a a thick bloke. I'm sure if you think reallly hard you can understand the logic, you might nt agree with it, but it's not a difficult concept to grasp.

[ooh ah stantona]

It would be great if we drew one of the big teams and 25,000 turn up then walk out at 19:27.

We will have none of this bull shit in the press saying attendances are low because of bad results. 25K walking out against Man Utd live on Sky or the Beeb with a few we will always be blue banners dotted around will do the return to blue campaign no harm at all.

In the event that Cardiff draw one of the "big" boys at home (including Swansea here) , and in the event that the game is televised by BBC - what will you do?If I can get there on time I am thinking about going Magnotsfield tomorrow to watch Merthyr - Glory hunter me see.

I will decide on the day. As things stand I may not go again for the foreseeable future. But knowing me I will decide to go to a few games.I've been lumbered with watching Cardiff Blues. The ticket was a 'misguided' Christmas present as I have only ever remember seeing a club rugby game once in my life and I have never expressed an interest in seeing another one!

[TT BLUEBIRD]

Didn't boycott the game just didn't want to shell out the money when it was on the TV, been going down the City for 50 old years but it's no longer the draw it used to be for me and won't be buying a season ticket next season

I won't be renewing my season ticket next year unless we have a blue home kit either.I couldn't care less what you think pal. I've lived 200 miles away for over 10 years and attended almost every home game so not going to any game is a bit of a pain for me. It will save me about a good few hundred a month though.

Some could see that as I boycotted a game against Colchester on a cold Friday night for a game that was on tele.OK I am not surprised you don't care what I think ... but you happily went to games in the PL (& your promotion season) when you were playing in red ? Nobody made you go and spend a few hundred a month I presume ?

I've happily gone to games for the last 20 years and the last 3 regardless of the rebrand what's your point?
