    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 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 doesnt make you look very good or clever as an individual.
    Have i spelt it out clearly enough for you ?
    Oh lord.
    Aw gawd !

    There was a young man from Kent

    To save himself trouble
    He put it in double
    And instead of coming, he went.

    The transfer window slams, Katrien's dress waves
    Like a vision she dances across the porch as Sheffield plays
    Chris Powell singing "if only"
    Hey, that's me and I want a new owner, only
    I won't attend a home match again, I just can't face another season with Roland, again

    Don't run back inside, Rolly, you know what I'm here for
    So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe you ain't getting £77.5M anymore
    Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
    You ain't a quality owner,
    And that's not alright, with me

    You can hide 'neath your covers and hire another bitch
    Make crosses from your profits, we'll throw piggies on the pitch
    Waste your summer praying in vain
    For a buyer to rise from these streets

    Well now, I ain't no investor, that's understood
    All the redemption I can offer, RD, is sell to sell, you really should
    With a chance to make it good somehow
    Hey, what else can we do now?

    Except, open the ticket window and let the quality of play blow back your hair
    Well, the night's busting open, these playoffs might take us anywhere
    We got one last chance to make it real
    To trade in this division on a steal
    Climb in back, The Championship's waiting on down the tracks

    Oh oh, let go of my hand
    We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
    Oh oh oh oh,
    Oh, Floyd Road, oh, Floyd Road
    Lying out there like a red couch in the sun
    Hey, I know it's late, you might survive if you run
    Oh oh oh oh, Floyd Road
    Sit tight, take hold, Floyd Road

    Well, we've got Rolly and I am worried he might balk
    But my car's out back if he is not ready to take that long walk

    And I know you're lonely for kind words that I ain't spoken
    But soon we'll be free, all FFP limits will be broken

    There were ghosts in the eyes of all the lads you transferred away
    They haunt this Valley in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets
    They scream "Fuck off Roland" at night in the street
    Our Powell jersey lies in rags at their feet
    And in the lonely cool before dawn
    You hear their bus engines rolling on
    But when you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind

    So Rolly, climb in
    You're a loser and when you leave we will start to winnnnnn

    Why would you want to punish boycotters. I just don’t get it.
    Its not a case of punishing boycotters - its just about being fair to people who have gone to the home leg. if i had bought a ticket for the home leg but couldnt for the away but find that someone who had boycotted the first game got a ticket then i wouldn't be a happy boy.
    How many home games have you attended this season?
    1 - Walsall at home, Went in the Millennium lounge, lovely it was too, And we won.
    So your comments are shot to pieces regards peoples attendance at games.

    Tickets should only go to those who attended the pre season friendly in Limerick.

    I was at the UCD game so does that count me in as well.

    But i intend to make it 2 on Thursday. !
    Many of the boycotters have been to more games than you :smile:
    That's me.

    Gillingham and Bristol Rovers, both away though and no advance purchase of tickets to give money to Duchatelet.

    Not really, Elfs, as I said, I live abroad.
    Like a lot of people, I have been to more away games than home this season, but also, I have been driven away by the shit football provided by KR rather than a conscious decision to boycott.
    I've always stated, each to their own re boycotting, but sometimes there are times when you just have to park your grievances, put away your stubbornness, and get behind the team , for the teams good , and try to help Charlton into a better land - its one game ffs.
