    IF it happens

    Who will still attend and who will go back.Must admit I am sick of reading online that new word that came out after the amnesty international statement of "sportwashing".Its almost like some cant think for themselves.
    A lot of events like boxing have been in Saudi lately and I bet a fair few moaning watched them events.
    Did those moaning boycott the World Cup when Saudi were on.
    Its each to their own but I wont be going back.No doubt I will be informed I am not wanted.Thats fine by me.

    just because they have been there doesnt make it right
    would i go to saudi to watch a boxing match no
    have i been to america to watch a boxing match yes

    watching a saudi team isnt like supporting them with your money ie going to their country and spending and giving your money to them whilst driving around ignoring their human rights issues

    Mind me asking why, Geordie?

    To answer the question, yes, i'll be back. I've missed it like mad and with any luck I might get my old seat back.

    Course you can ask Zip.I spend every Saturday now with my Dad,he is 77.I value that time more than anything.My youngest lad has a disability and idolises his Granda.So not a chance I will go to the match and change what we do.
    I might do the odd game but if I do it would be a midweek game.I know I might get a few comments saying this is the reason for my boycott.Its not,my youngest 2 lads of 4 weren't even born when Ashley came.
    People like yourself is why I want this takeover to be the one.Made a stand and deserve reward.

    Surely if this takeover malarky is yet another wind up by the FCB,it is incumbent upon the FA or some other football governing body to shed some light on the situation & if necessary look at the 'fit & proper' procedures.To continuously bait the fans into false optimism is surely intolerable & should be stopped.The repetitive nature of the timing etc. should serve as an alert to the powers that be.If however by some chance the bids are spurious then similarly the relevant parties should be held accountable. I cant imagine that the likes of this would be tolerated in relation to the top 6 clubs so why are we so different.Also,in this instance the 'buyer' is one of (if not THE) richest in the world'so if this goes t*ts up then surely someone somewhere should be exposed !!!!
