by boycotting tuesday nights game all you are doing is depriving the club(that you support?) of much needed revenue if you went to the agm we are in a perilous financial state and if bayliss does go it gives the new guy less money etc.,listen iam no fan of bayliss but first and foremost i support the club through thick and thin!(mostly thin)so come on get behind the team on tuesday and remember if this mysterious benefactor does not happen the saying is"use it or lose it!".i for one do not want that and i don`t believe you all do either!

I won't be there yet again as am working away. I'll be there Saturday.
I think folk should go and make their point. Plainly and without vitriol.
And who knows, some football might take place amid all the doom and recrimination.

Boycotting is the worst thing to do ever! We have no money as it is, hitting the club in the pocket is not the way forward!

Not having been involved with many protests, I'm no expert, but wish to offer an opinion.
Cutting off the lifeline of OUR club by not attending the game is not the answer. Protest by all means, but surely pay the money and arrange something beforehand, standing with your backs turned at the team line up, standing silent holding your scarf aloft, let the press know in advance what you plan and Milton will be snap happy, point made, yet funds in the pot.
Just a thought.
Feel free to disagree, I won't offer you outside, it's football, we should all be allowed an opinion

If the point of a boycott is to force the club's hand in sacking Bayliss, then there's no point in giving the club the money anyway because it gives them no rational incentive to sack him.
Any boycott, imo, should be based solely on the fact you don't find the product on offer worth the price you pay. Whether you think the admission price is value is an individual decision and can't be an organised collective boycott.

Stupid idea, hurting no one but the club. I believe Bayliss should go but boycotting matches won't achieve anything but more financial pain.
Stupid is, as stupid does!

im not going and have not been going due to the poor football being played and the fact of it does not offer value for money entertainment and due to not liking the crap tatics and desisions bayliss makes i havent enjoyed going to the football for over 12 months due to bayliss being shit

We won't be able to attend only because we are in Majorca. We have to stick together through thick and thin. The bandwagon will soon be jumped on when we on an up. Then the 8000 Wembley, Sunderland and Middlesbrough glory hunters may rear their heads again !

No matter what your thoughts on events, trying to organise a boycott is plain daft and self-defeating. Let people make their own decisions and if you want to make a complaint then why not go and make your voice heard on what your thoughts are.

Unbelievable thread.....the club is battered, bloody and lying face down in the gutter and along come this mob and kick it in the teeth just for good measure!!!
As one of the people asking for DB to be relieved of his duties at the end of last season this latest farce comes as no surprise to me. But, as a long term supporter I can't just turn my back on the club when it needs my money more than ever!!
By all means protest at the management and BOD, but do it in a more constructive way!!
