    Completely agree that 'we' support the CLUB but that doesn't take away the total loathing many have for the management set up.

    Boycotts don't work, apart from drivel broadcast on cricket..

    3000 Newcastle fans Saturday, twice their normal allocation, WHY ?

    We couldnt sell them.

    Boycott not for me, Jim is right re banners, they will be confiscated eventually.
    Stewards are fans also.

    Boycotting games ffs

    Because of 5 months of poor results? We'd be boycotting every couple of years based on that

    If we were top ten the majority wouldn't care about performances, make no mistake about that. Some would, but most wouldn't because it's a results driven business, like it or not, and for most everyone, a win washes all the clouds away.

    If you don't like it don't go - I get that.

    I still think you're better going and voicing your opinions but each to their own.

    re: Boycott games?

    When I stopped going regularly and binned my ST I did so because the enjoyment I used to get going to the games, home and away, simply wasn't there any more.

    Imo talk of boycotts etc is a bit OTT. If you don't enjoy the experience any more, whether it's results, quality of entertainment, value for money or anything else, just stop going.

    It doesn't have to be permanent, does it?

    That's the most perceptive point anyone's made on here in quite a while.

    The stadium move is less about filling the stadium with 55,000 fans and more about attracting corporate from the banks in the Docklands.

    Even Allardyce's biggest fans will surely admit that we need entertainment and good players to attract the corporate deals necessary to make the move work.

    Morgan Stanley ain't gonna spend big money to take their clients to see Kevin Nolan & Matt Jarvis ffs.[/quote]

    Morgan Stanley? We'd be lucky to get f.ucking Poundland!

    Not for me.
    It's not just based on the team struggling tho is it.. that would be madness to boycott!

    The team struggling is just scratching the surface in comparison to the list i jotted down!

    From the board down we seem to be utterly clueless in every aspect and what really grinds my gears is them ****s charging £42 for tomorrow nights game!!

    Pigs the lot of them

    Ye but we have become a society that now just rolls over and dies.. were the ones being lied to on a daily bases, were the ones that make it all worth it in the end so why should we be paying our good hard earned money to go and support this mess our club has become?

    Kudos for tearing up your season ticket in the past, i imagine you had valid reasons for doing so!

    To summarize... Day 20... No new signings (Roger Johnson doesn't count)

    me and old harry hill have a different view on the manager but he is right

    without a shadow of a doubt, if the team is/was winning, the majority do not care about quality

    i speak from the minority who didn't want this fella very early into his stint, seeing what the guy was about and what his game was all about

    this stuff is so cyclic and this thread exactly replicates the scenario during brown out where the total frustration has different folks
