Benjiman_LFC Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Everyone could buy a comic relief red nose and launch them towards the pitch in the 34th minute. This would signify what a bunch of jokers the club is run by. It would raise money for charity too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 6 minutes ago, CotswoldRed said: But SL knows how many cards went through the turnstiles. That's the only number he will care about as that means beers, pies and a good indication of season ticket sales for next year. They'll have no idea about season ticket sales for next season until they know what league we are in. And to be honest, they still earn money from the caterers in rent because it's out-sourced and the fact is, probably less than half a crowd actually buy food or drink at the ground anyway. Eitherway, I'm all trying to say is, if you really want to get your point across, 300 season tickets holders not turning up isn't going to be much of a point.

No doubt he's unhappy as well but is sticking with LJ in whom he has great faith to lead the club forward. Junior is trusted by SL in other words I refer back to the interview SL did last week. Beside him getting behind LJ he hinted that other managers say one thing in interviews but then fail to stick with what they'd said. He gave the impression that too many managers can't be trusted and to him that's obviously crucial and why he hasn't replaced LJ. Understandaby he doesn't like criticism - who does? Norwich is yet another vital match on Tuesday and if we lose it could be LJ last game and he'll be replaced by someone SL knows and - importantly - trusts and that's likely to be one of our previous managers. Millen or maybe even Danny Wilson, both are currently unemployed. Oh! Btw - I'm not remotely nterested in any walkout or protest of any kind.it would completely pointless to try and blackmail SL. RR Sadly I think you are right. The problem with a one man control situation like we have at AG is that if the man with the money is so stubborn, nothing will change that, just look to history, King Canute for instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was the chance to do that. Fans walked away like at a funeral! Only a small section of South Stand chanted Johnson out. People have lost the energy to moan. Bristol City as a club are too nice. Soft centre everywhere from fans through to board. Is it any wonder we always struggle and fail to deliver. I was watching the board a lot yesterday in the Lansdown Stand and they didn't seem bothered. Didn't see any of them stand up with excitement when we won the penalty. Maggie and Jon appeared to be clapping at the final whistle. Looking solemnly at the pitch. Steve and Keith appeared to walk away. It seems a nice cushty club to manage and play for. It starts at the top and we need new ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is we owe SL for the stadium and for continuously digging us out of a hole financially. However he has to take responsibility for his actions with LJ. He's sacked other managers for less. Managers who actually had achieved success. You only have to look on social media and speak to people outside of the club who support other teams in the country how baffled even they are that LJ hasn't been sacked. It is turning us into a comedy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrizzleRed Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 30 minutes ago, Alessandro said: This isn't me having a go at those frustrated and looking to boycott in some way. But 18,000 people still turned up yesterday, we've still had great support at away games. Yep there was some booing at the end but that's nothing new. #johnsonoutnow has about 10 tweets. Maybe people just don't really care?? If there was ever an incentive and time for the Johnson Out Army to attack. It's this Tuesday. If there's enough of you, you'll make you're voices heard, so go do it on Tuesday night. You've got a platform here, twitter and Facebook, get organised. Personally, although I understand your sentiment, I just wondering if your overestimating the average fan, who in my opinion is more passive. And to be honest, a season ticket holder boycotting a game. You've already paid, that's just silly. Come and make your voice heard if you feel that strongly, you've paid for the chance. Agree with all of this, apart from the size of yesterday's crowd. There were a lot of empty seats that are normally always filled near me in the SS, but being st's will still have been counted. That means boycotting would have very limited value, as the club will argue the attendance is holding up well, as yesterday was nowhere near the official figure as I see it. Imho, a protest at Tuesday's match like a walkout would get more attention and media coverage, especially as AS will know about the plan, to him reading this forum. Leaving midway through the second half would have quite an impact and being an evening match, we could even start with a mobile torch protest with everyone who wants him out turning on their torches for a while before they get up and leave their seat. Someone has also mentioned not buying food or drink in the ground, which would have far more effect on the club than not turning up with a season ticket you've already paid for. This situation is getting ridiculous now and we really need to show how pissed off we are with how it's being handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're a either a WUM or a gashead but will answer anyway. Where has any poster mentioned 'the team'? It's Johnson we want out, not the team. That may help the team thereby aiding our chances of survival at this level. Also, who are you to give us the opinion of your silent majority and tell anyone they're 'not wanted'? Maybe being less 'silent' might help? Your opinion is your opinion but I respect your right to have it. Maybe you should respect ours to want to do something about it rather than just be 'silent' and watch the club drop so meekly? Finally, what do you suggest we do about Johnson? Sit on our hands and say nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
