I am for that!!
can't disagree with any of that.This is all seeming a bit pathetic, I know..
What do we have to cry and bitch about?
- Yid chanting, our clubs hands are tied until court is over.
- Stubhub, fair enough. But is it worth discussing a protest?
- Transfer policy. Right, okay. Lets get into this a bit. We average about say 26 home games a year, most sell out, so for arguments sake we'll make it £40 x 36,000. Makes, 1,440,000 x 26 = £37,440,00.
Chuck in £40,000,000 more for TV rights and we're left with £80,000,000.
Once you chuck in maybe £5,000,000 for merchandise per year, then £20,000,000 for sponsorships.
We have an income of possibly £105,000,000 a year.
Once you take out wages you are left with very little, if anything i'd say we are losing money per year.
I was frankly amazed we re invested the Bale money, I thought it would of been earmarked for the new stadium.
I would say im Pro ENIC yes, but i've just seen the shit that other owners have caused and im glad we are sitting a few points off fourth and still in the Europa league. We're coming accoss like Spoilt cunts that need a few minutes (Seasons) on the naughty step before we behave.
Pretty much my views, and why I voted no on the poll.The only thing at the moment that we need to be protesting about is Stubhub and we should not stop fighting that
The club can't do much about the yid thing, they have to be seen as co-operating with the Metropolitan Police. I just wish the defended us a bit more on the issue
I have little qualms with the transfer policy this year, we lost our star player in the summer and we re-invested that into the playing squad whereas previously we haven't done that. I don't want us to become another Leeds or Portsmouth and as things are now we probably won't.
ENIC are pretty much like every other owner in football now and that they're main priority is making money for themselves, I believe ENIC will sell up in the next 5-10 years to some Arab billionaire as that is where football is going now and when that happens we will be moaning about that. In my history of being a Spurs fan the fanbase have always been divided about the board, I imagine that is the case everywhere else. Welcome to modern football
I've done the same thing starting last season. I'm not prepared to spend £50 on a match ticket anymore! Chelsea at home last year - the atmosphere was diabolical for what I personally consider the biggest game of the season. The fans in that game were so fickle. Me and my friend were singing at 0-0, when we were down etc, but no-one fancied joining in. As soon as a goal was scored for us, or we went 2-1 in the lead, I'm not joking EVERY fucker in the south stand fancied a sing-a-long.I started my own personal protest at the start of last season (2012-2013) when i decided £50 was my cut-off point for tickets. I have only attended two Cat A games in that time (Chelsea this year - but only as it was part of a 4 game package).
My Cat As have been replaced with Cat 1882s - 10% of the cost but 10X the fun.
I think you'll find that it's 'Da Streetz' actuallyAssemble protesters outside WHL on a match day. Bring banners. Make noise. Demonstrate by the StubHub queue. Fight the police.
That's your best bet as far as getting the club and media's attention. A strike (or at least a noticeable one) isn't possible to pull off. Internet campaigning is invisible and a false hope. Take it to the streets.
If there was a protest what is the aim?
Is it to simply remove Stub-Hub? If so, then absolutely, without question. Otherwise, what? Some fans don't sing, others bitch and moan....should we protest against them?
Any kind of protest during a game (turning back, wearing masks - strange one, that, or total silence) only fails to support the team, in my opinion.
All forms of protest have to have a goal. I'm not sure, anything other than the removal of Stub-Hub, is worthy of protesting.
