Commercial Boycott vs Reading. yes or no?

[Dave the OAP]

I have a good one.

Do you remember when at the goldstone, when someone let off a rocket in goldstone lane and we all left the ground to demonstrate outside.

Let's do that on say 80 minutes and show what the depth of feeling is...so 80 minutes, let's all get up and walk out.....oh hang on.....erm.

New plan...let's not buy any piglets pies!

Vive la revolution!

It's interesting that you should equate me challenging your crusade of misery by believing that this is not the most effective, least problematic manner of protest as believing we should do nothing.

It's as if there's your way - or not at all. There are more forms of protest than this particular one.

What crusade of misery is that then?

Why when you respond to anyone who dares to not tow the line do you have to use terms like Grizzling, or Misery? It's as if anyone not conforming to your way is somehow anti BHA.

To square the circle and to start getting organised. BTW... We should support the team like never before that day (to the extent that it will help with Hyppia in charge). Please refrain from criticising those that politely decline. This is the one area where we can make a real difference at this time. You can be sure that TB looks at all aspects of commercial income from a single game.

Barber underestimates us.

get the word out. Encourage 1901ers to unbook their tables and avoid the bars and arrive late. On Twitter use #bhafcareyoulistening and #bhafcnotapenny and then ensure they are RT'd to death and any other way you can think of to get the message out.

Pointless, hardly anyone read The Radio Times these days.

Go NAKED

Wow, first time ENREST might be on to something. Naked protest ! Balls out, Sami Out !

 

[Nobby's Betamax Video]

Well, I hope Piglet's don't suffer too badly commercially being caught in this crossfire.

Unfortunate Al, but perhaps they need to have a word with the Board to make them see sense? We know each other from old & I'm sure you wouldn't question my loyalty to the Club. But I & many of our mutual friends are mightily frustrated & increasingly concerned with the contempt we're being shown by the Club after all the years of support through the dark days.

 

[pauli cee]

Well, I guess the upshot of this is no demonstrations, lest we might upset someone
Thank **** we had more balls back in the day, ( not that I am comparing this to 'back in the day')

 

[Creaky]

Protest fine but don't damage the club financially can't see how this will help,

In which case boycott the football - after all that is what seems to be at the centre of all the protests - spend the match in the concourse drinking beer and eating pies.

Me? - I'll be in my seat hoping beyond hope that this will be the match where it all comes right!

I'm no football genius - I don't know if the answer to our problems on the field is down to this that or the other - (if I was as good as some seem to believe they are then I would be managing a world class team!) - all I know is I want BHAFC to beat the *&%* out of every team they play.

 

[Giraffe]

I've been doing this all season, so happy to continue on Boxing Day.

 

[vegster]

Well, I hope Piglet's don't suffer too badly commercially being caught in this crossfire.

If you gave up eating pies that would be a hammer blow to the club surely ?

 

[Peter_Taylor]

Why not boycott the club shop? It wouldn't affect third parties and the inventories involved aren't perishable, so no real wastage. It would also be very visible to all fans walking to the ground. Could have a banner and leaflets for those that like that sort of thing too.

I don't think TB will be particularly bothered though as he's in Australia.
[MENTION=1416]Ernest[/MENTION] could head a massive protest.

I was originally going to suggest doing big jobs in the toilet and not flushing, but someone's tried that trick before.

I have to agree. I am not one for protests or boycotts but you would have more chance of success in a 'Picket' of the club shop. You would only need support of a couple of dozen people rather than all 26,000/17,000/12,000 (pick your figure for the day). The Argus would lap it up too.

 

[Mike Small]

Don't go to the games anymore full stop. Spend the time and money with your children, friends, sod it...your other half. That is the only way they will realise.

 

[East Preston Gull]

We could tip a bucket of ice over our heads and take photos. We could then nominate 3 friends to do the same...such fun!
It could raise awareness of our plight to ummmmmmm, get rid of a manager who is not quite good enough. I think we all need a reality check.

 

[Cars]

Couldn't everyone email the club, outlining their concerns and adding that if Sami isn't sacked, we will not be renewing our season tickets next year?

Few hundred of those and they might change their minds. Although I highly doubt it....

 

[fireball]

e- mail the club first . But boycott the reading game 100%

 

[BN9 BHA]

I won't be buying anything at the match on Boxing Day, I haven't bought anything at the last two home games anyway.

I'm only going to the match as I have a season ticket.

 

[dazzer6666]

If he's gone before Boxing Day, am I allowed to have a pie and a cup of tea please ? If all the rumours are true and he's out of here, hope the reverse of a protest happen and we get behind the team.
