vulva Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The cost isn’t the issue. It’s the apathy around the club. People can’t be arsed anymore. I’ve zero enthusiasm to go tomorrow night as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Knowing its live on terrestrial TV, and that could have a big effect on the attendance you would have thought DC would have made it as cheap as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't care if people go in the first part - then you say everyone should be going as it might be fun? I honestly doubt people won't be attending because they think we might get beat (no one would EVER go then!) I think its a combination of all the little bad things currently surrounding the club and football that has manifested itself in one game and a lot of people have thought s0d it. FA cup - lost it's value Midweek Team losing every week Club in turmoil Only Season ticket holders supporting the club It's on telly It's not cheap It's a shame it's not a big crowd, of course it is, but the club haven't really read the situation (again!!) It might come across as a bit of a mumbled rant but I was at work. And it comes across as hypocritical but I didnt have time to edit it. I'm annoyed about the high opinion of some on here thinking their opinion will affect the attendance..As if owlstalk has some kind of sway. If you don't want to go fair enough, but why would you want to crow about it on the internet. Kind of strange. Like anyone cares. I missed my first home game in about five years when FF scored vs Cardiff (Couple of seasons ago) when my son was born. They still won & FF didn't even look up at my empty seat when he scored wondering what had happened to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pretty mundane and fruitless experience going to hillsborough Yep! Not too fussed about the price. I just literally haven't got it in me. Going to the next 3 home games is bad enough without adding an extra bit of suffering in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 2 hours ago, pat blondeau said: Attendance makes a difference though? Having 35k there against Arsenal for the 3-0 win made it a different game to only having 21k against Everton this year? They were both in the League Cup weren't they? I hate to say it but Arsenal didn't turn up at all that day and probably forgot about it by the next evening. It was great to see nearly a full house, with families there but I would still have enjoyed it somewhat if there would have been 20k there. I even went to Newcastle where we genuinely deserved to beat them and it was my first visit there. I didn't go to the Everton game cos it was an early round League cup game against a mid table Premiership team who had more of an incentive to play a full team.

Being on here and having no intention of supporting your club I always find as a bit sad and certainly nothing to boast about. The sad fact is these kind of people don’t need that much of an excuse not to bother to support the club and unfortunately the club currently give them loads of excuses. Even sadder is that these excuses are becoming more valid due to the ineptitude of the club as a whole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Owl 2 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Will this boycott extend to an away trip to Old Trafford, or a trip to Wembley? If we somehow fluked past City. Cause those games will be on free to view tv If you are sending a message to Chansiri surely you will do it for more than a match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching us get beat by Luton 5-1 at home (Malcom McDonald hat-trick included) with a snow storm blowing directly onto an uncovered Kop, I think losing to one of the best teams in the world is palatable in comparison...........watching Wednesday through the seventies allows this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
