  • Really not worth getting het up about it now.

    The protests, although making a little dent at the time, have had no significant impact on when this belligerent old chunt will jump!

    It may well be costing him a small fortune to stay, but it clearly isn't forcing his hand.

    Time to put our effort into getting this club in the best possible position it can be under the circumstances imo.

    Good post
  • How about we close this thread, pending any change as we now know nowt will happen until our league status is decided?

    Keep it going, it’s fascinating watching grown men acting like children.

    I would query the word "acting"
  • I thought we have had new owners for about 2 months now? Considering it was a done deal. I think the new owners are doing a fantastic job.

    Blimey this thread has seen some very weird discussions (pot noodles, poetry, etc.) since its inception and now we have come to digging each other out again!! However, this time not about who knows more about The Takeover, its about people who still boycott, those that did and now don't and those that never did and the allocation of away tickets should we make the play-offs later today!! Now forgive me for being 'thick', but what the hell has the above got to do with the everlasting takeover, and moreover how does someone prove that although they didn't go to the home leg (which would be me), they weren't boycotting they had to be at work?
    Do I need to present a letter from my employer saying that I was unable to attend Thursday's home game due to work commitments, therefore please can he have a ticket for the away game? I do wish people would think before making comments!!

    Regarding your comment about being “thick” I think the point being made was pretty simple tbh.

    The team are in with a bloody good chance of promotion (form team entering play offs if today goes to plan) so let’s put the takeover circus to one side and support Bowyer and the team.

    To me that seems an entirely sensible approach
  • What is 'the takeover circus' exactly? Is it like Billy Smarts in the fast lane?

    Totally agree apart from the club are making it as difficult as fucking humanly possible for fans to buy tickets and give Lee and the team that support.

    I would query the word children although the first letter is correct

    Oh come on, it was simple. All you have to do is click on activate & complete a few details like name address & phone no.

    When the e mail the club sent you was minus the client number, no, it’s not straightforward is it ?

    I think a lot of people are getting really precious about this boycott lark - just bloody go for christs sake. If you dont, its only your (and the teams) loss.

    Disagree entirely.

    Dont know about everyone else, but i'm really bored with people coming on here and saying they are still boycotting - come on here and say you are breaking your boycott and supporting the team else dont come on here at all.
    Had enough of all the negative shit.
    I'm bored with people like you digging out the boycotters constantly. And who the hell do you think you are telling people that they can or can't come on this forum?

    You do your thing and let others do theirs. If you don't like reading about certain things, then scroll on when you see them, just like many of us do when we see some of the crap you post.
    Wow, I've clearly upset some of the boycotters on here.

    @WestCountryAddick, hmmm, there's no need to get lary and personal with something/someone you disagree with - even with your 20 something likes it just shows you (and them) in a poor light - my comments on here have never been directed at a personal level and i would have expected a little bit more 'class' from yourself tbh.

    However, my original point still stands, i have always been of the belief that everyone is obviously free to make their own decision re boycotting - however for one game, and its one game ffs, put your differences aside, get behind the team and cheer them on to victory, surely thats what we all want?

    Ii am also of the belief that should we get to the semi-finals that anyone who boycotts the first should be put to the bottom of the queue in terms of applying for tickets for the away- after all, they werent prepared to go to the first, so why should they have equal rights to people who did go? It could be easily done, if you want a ticket for the away leg, then provide proof of a ticket from the home.
    Thats only fair.

    I've been to 11 away games this season and that counts for nothing? The only thing that matters is attending home matches (or in fact a single game)? Please clarify because it really sounds as if that's what you are saying.

    If true then you proven my point about posting crap.
  • I thought people were asked to stop using that specialist website to bother club employees. (Posting crap)

    Equally fascinating watching grown men and/or women commenting on grown men acting like children.


    Etc.

    What we need is more poetry.
  • So...when's the club being sold?

    I have "Roland waiting to see if we get promoted" anxiety again.

    I think my point was that it was time to put the sword down for one game ffs. Just get behind the team for one game - go back to your boycotting next season - if you want to go around accusing individuals of posting 'crap' then thats your prerogative- but that doesnt come over very well and that certainly doesnt make you look very good or clever as an individual.
    Have i spelt it out clearly enough for you ?
