But we've been quite supportive for 5 months of this and our performances are as inept and disjointed as ever. I can't think of a similar turnaround in football without a change.

Accusing fans of being disloyal is a bit pathetic. Where does it state that you should blindly follow Bristol City and put up with every that the owners of the club do. Your last paragraph is a little pathetic, so are you saying fans who still go are following blindly or super fans? Just because you and others are boycotting why should those people label others who go super fans or slag then off? They have the right to do what they feel is right just like you and others are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never slacked off any other fan who is going to the game on Tuesday, that's your choice, I wouldn't dare to tell you what to do. I was responding to one poster who accuse me of being disloyal by not going because I don't blindly follow Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we're relegated it'll be to late to look ourselves in the mirror and ask the question whether it was right to give up on BCFC and stay away or not... SL reads this forum and will know the collective feeling , staying away with a pre paid ticket will not hurt him as much as reading the sentiment shown on this forum. To witness passionate supporters like Spudski and Superbob going head to head on another thread is gut wrenching for most of us, he'll see that too..

Cider Queen Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 This was an interesting thread until you started trading insults! I'm torn whether to go. I want Johnson to go and go now.. He's a woeful manager and seems unable to motivate the players. But do I stay at home or go and watch City implode yet again and give him a piece of my mind? One thing I definitely won't be buying any food or drink in the ground if I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ has repeatedly and record breakingly failed to do that (you must agree with that?) SL will not drop him anytime soon (again you must agree with that?) a game boycott is therefore the only option we have of drawing SL`s attention to the fact that the fans are NOT HAPPY WITH THE SITUATION AND THERE SIMPLY HAS TO BE CHANGES. Doing nothing and acting like nothing is wrong sends the complete wrong message. But you do what you feel is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Blackpool, what happened there when they boycotted? Hmm...but no one, surely, is suggesting that SL is on a par in his stewardship of the club with the owners at Blackpool, or at Charlton or Blackburn or Orient where there have also been fan protests. Whilst he may not care I think he should care, and having met him and Mrs L I'd be very surprised if they didn't. The route you seem to propose - make no complaint - would seem to me to leave the Lansdowns thinking that everything is fine. It isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanjita Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Just to add my bit to this thread, me and my son who are both season ticket holders will not be going on Tuesday, and I never intentionally missed a game before and I have been a season ticket holder since 1986.

Jacki Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'll be going on Tuesday, not because I'm some kind of super fan but because I've paid my money and don't want to miss the game. I just feel utter sorrow that it's come to this now. When it gets so bad that loyal fans are talking about boycotts you know it's completely untenable. The writing has been on the wall for months now, 2 wins in 21 tells you that. I feel pity for LJ when the abuse rains down on him because he simply shouldn't have been allowed to stay in this situation. Lansdown's inertia is costing us our Championship status and the fact that he's just sitting back and allowing it to happen is the single most baffling thing I've ever known in 34 years as a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
