Scottish Mag 3 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 We should get behind the team but once the full whistle is gone remain in our seats shouting abuse at the bastards until they make us leave.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will go to the Hull game and support the team I will not spend a single penny while Im in there. I'll arrive at kick-off from the pub and leave right away while sitting in my seat at HT.

Chaser 1053 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I doubt it matters whether Ashley is at the ground or not. The press coverage of the protests will be overwhelming anyway. There might be a few tayties looking to invade the pitch/get themselves arrested but hopefully the majority will go along with a legitimate and effective one. Refusing to buy extras at the game has to be the bare minimum. The concern is how much of the protest will have upon the team. If a complete blanket boycott to enter the stadium was observed and people were to stand outside of the ground and protest then I would imagine the whole situation would have nothing buy a negative effect.

To be honest I don't think we'd notice the difference in the team if there was a negative effect or not, I should think they'll be pretty much all over the place anyways with not having Kev there and there being plenty of other shit going on internally. At least a one game boycott to the actual entering of the stadium would be best served against a poxy team like Hull, plus with it being the immediate game after this whole sorry saga it'd give Fat Cunt something to think about instead of thinking he can just do what he wants.

Well aye, anyone who's daft enough to pay full whack for a "pint" of vaguely alcoholic SJP pisswater has been kidding themselves for the past 10 years anyway.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 It's simple really, continue to go to the game, but dont buy anything from the club directly or indirectly. No merchandise, no food/drink on a match day, no match programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sports Direct, the retail chain owned by once-reclusive billionaire Mike Ashley, warned this morning that consumer spending will decline over the next six months. The company, which has suffered from the England football team's woes, said this morning that following the key Christmas period it still expected to meet City expectations for pre-tax profits. But in a trading statement that was typically light on detail, chief executive Dave Forsey struck a downbeat note about the company's prospects in the first half of 2008. "We expect the retail trading environment in the UK to become increasingly difficult over the next six months," said Forsey. Sports Direct said that it made gross sales of £280m between October 29 and January 13, generating gross profits of £126m - a margin of 45%. It did not issue comparable figures for previous years, but Nick Bubb, analyst at Pali International, said the trading statement was disappointing and predicted that like-for-like sales had fallen by a fifth during the period. "There is no profit warning on the face of it, but the 45% gross margin for the period is below expectations, and the bar has been set very low in terms of beating £138m EBITDA as our current forecast is £157m," Bubb said.

Park Life 70 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Profits down 51% but... or the year to 27 April, Sports Direct delivered underlying pre-tax profits down 51.1 per cent to £85m. The retailer's group sales fell by 6.5 per cent to £1.26bn. Still made 85m profit, not enough for a couple of decent players though eh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
