QuedgeRed Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Been boycotting it ever since Holden’s appointment. I don’t blame DH, it’s the bloody idiots that appointed him. In hindsight, the writing has been on the wall since Coppell ran away as fast as he could! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know plenty of others that have better things to do with £10. If there is a significant drop off in Robins TV sales, I'm sure it will be noted.

Fair enough. Don’t think I’d do it myself but who knows, it might trigger a reaction. As to the torture of watching further games on robins tv, for me (clearly masochistic) there’s something about subjecting yourself to the journey of pain to come out the otherside some way down the line. Wouldn’t feel right to duck out and rejoin when things are better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyez Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 I said to myself after the Cardiff game I wouldn’t pay for another one . Made a decision yesterday at 14:55 to swallow my pride and tune in. “One last time” if it was the usual garbage, I promised myself. Switched off 32 mins into the first half. I’m fully done now. I’d like to think of myself to be as loyal as they come when it comes to this football club, like I’m sure many of you do too, but something has to change now. From the top down. Until that happens, I will not be spending my hard earned cash to watch that every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Football is a business (which has become more apparent in recent years), the club are selling a service, if you aren’t happy with the product/service then you don’t purchase again untill improvements have been made, or the price adjusted due to quality. In other words, don’t pay for the game until you are happy with performance/results and perhaps this might make people stand up and take notice. Iv already made a promise to myself not to buy another game untill we win 2 games in a row or the manager has been changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean long term we’ll all still be fans after lansdown/Ashton etc have moved on. How does boycotting help city? It’s a good point.

Sniper Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 I won't be handing over anymore hard earned tenners that's for sure.

Peter1450 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 As much as I agree with the sentiment of giving the money to charity,the only ones who should be doing that are the current “players “ giving up Saturdays match fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaverface Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 When we pay a tenner to watch robins tv, where does that money go? Is it 100% to City? Or 50% 50% with our opponents? Or Is it split with the EFL also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The dastardly red Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 I've already given up Robins tv.

To be fair, I don't think Lansdown expects us to do that. I'm sure he would rather we were playing like Brazil as well. But he won't sack his mates until we are all but down, if even then. I don't really think that it would achieve anything (unless people gave the money to charity, of course). And I don't think that enough people would boycott, primarily because there is **** all else to - look forward to??? - at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Radio Bristol has been a lot better in recent times. Commentator and co-commentator pile in these days and there is none of the siding with the club and dressing things up, like the old days. Gary Owers or Chris Honor, and the bloke commentating, do NOT hold back. They say what they see. Twentyman is excellent too. Embarrassing, unacceptable, pathetic, no fight, people hiding, where are the leaders? etc etc It's a really good listen, and refreshing that no one comes out with, oh well, injuries, blah blah blah. I'm more than happy to follow on the radio, until we can get back to going to the games again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrongagain Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 No other way we can protest at the moment, have say I’m in. Time for or those of us still owed money for pre paid parking to demand our money back - the club have ignored every one of us so far! Somehow the BUSINESS of the club needs targeting - the only weapon we have at the moment is that the BUSINESS needs cash and as much of it as they can get!

Key paragraph is this: Streaming revenue splits are different between Lg1 and Lg2. I can’t remember the logic, but I think in Lg1 it’s based on previous year away attendance as a cap, whereas Lg2 it’s split on an agreed cap (500) across the league. In the Champ, whoever sells the “stream” gets the revenue....I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
