Boycotting Season Ticket’s
We cannot accept these state of affairs anymore. We deserve better.
The Majority of United fans have accepted this for far too long. I know It’s tough to not buy a season ticket but we have to boycott buying books until the club realise we won’t take this shit that’s being served up to us on and off the pitch.
We need to do something quick before we’re down for years and years.

Re: Boycotting Season Ticket’s
This has been going on for years now and the wider fan base DO NOT care what happens behind the scenes hence why we have let it get as bad as it is.
The majority of fans are happy enough to go on a Saturday go home and not concern themselves too much about the bigger picture if at all.
I fucking hate what has happened and continues at our club.
I was not going to get a season ticket last season but I got it late on.
I already have mine for this coming season.

Re: Boycotting Season Ticket’s
Don’t think the majority of United fans have accepted what has been going on at all or do not care . Unfair statement towards your fellow Arabians .
I would say the vast majority of Arabs are furious with Thompson, the way the clubs been “run” , selling all our best players and the constant recruitment of muppets for the managers role.
However “ boycotting season ticket’s ” , phuk that. I picked my team to support over 40 years ago , they are a massive part of my life and always will be hopefully, been responsible for some of the greatest moments in my life, seen 5 trophies won and destroying half of Europe on the pitch. So as I said PHUK boycotting season tickets. Our club need the support in these difficult times or we may possibly loose our way for years.
Support your team through the good times and the bad. Things will get better, especially if we get rid of Laszlo the Clown, bin most of these mercenary players and new owners come in. Personally I am hopeful for next season providing we get things right here. Here’s hoping.
FTD, FTH, SRYB and DUFC always.

Re: Boycotting Season Ticket’s
My tickets bought and even got an extra two on top of last year so the bairns pal and my foster lad can get to all the games.
Boycott? I find that very castle greyskull. How about we encourage more to buy and really put a hefty wedge available for players and bums on seats.
Thats the only REAL solution. Boycotts are easy ways out for quitters, to many on the bandwagon of this.
Fact is the club is accountable for every penny it spends. Loads of thomson stealing talk all the time but absolutely no substance ( ok some invested in traveling to oz etc, which I still think could have been good but not the way it turned out).
Buying a season ticket is NOT buying sports cars for these people, its buying into UNITED.
Something we have not been for a while.
You are not harming the owners by not buying the ST's your harming yourselves and the Team.

Re: Boycotting Season Ticket’s
I'm not getting season tickets, after forty years, but I wouldn't say it's a boycott.
Just the enthusiasm has gone for a variety of reasons.

Re: Boycotting Season Ticket’s
Boycotts are a waste of time unless there's some sort of plan/strategy/endgame in place - otherwise it only exacerbates the problem by cutting available funds - and I see no sign of the level of organisation (or support for the idea) that would allow a successful boycott to take place.
Obviously some will not wish to renew under current circumstances and I'd be astonished if there wasn't a significant downturn in ST sales this year unless MM has a rabbit or two to pull from his hat, which I doubt very much as I reckon financial austerity will be the order of the day.

Re: Boycotting Season Ticket’s
I got one 2 years ago when Hibs were In the league while knowing we wouldn't win the league nor get promoted because It's what you do. I got one last season because I thought we would win the league. In all honesty It's been 2 season's of utter shite.
All i'd hope Is with a season ticket boycott that MM would sack Laszlo and bring In a suitable manager with a suitable budget. If Laszlo Is In charge and brings In a few emil Lyng's then we are royally fucked forever.

a boycott will reduce the chanced of CL getting punted, wouldnt be cheap to sack and replace the great rambler.

'The baldy snake' was heavily criticised for having a p45 in his pocket now MM criticised for not having one...who'd run a fitba club, eh
Times they are a changing.....Apparently. guess we all wait with baited breath

Re: Boycotting Season Ticket’s
I was thru to the game last night. Drove home with the young lad, and we never utttered a word all the way back home in the car. Didn't get home till after 11.
I really don't know what to say about the match itself. Is there any point anyway.
Considering what happened last night just highlighted a number of examples of what's been going wrong all Season. Poor defending, poor goalkeeping, poor crosses into the box, pace too slow, insufficient number of attempts on goal, back passing, sideways passing, throw-ins never put into the box &c.
We simply weren't good enough to go up, and wouldn't have been good enough to compete well enough in the SP given the squad we had.
Dont think there's any need to suggest boycotting Season Tickets en masse. There was a few guys around me last night, said they've had enough and aint coming back, indeed as I've said before there's a few boys round me in the GF aint coming back, and it's gonna be near impossible to get these guys back.
