If nothing else it might make those running the club, including the new chairman, that they really should be scared about relegation and its impact. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me ..... in any respect ! So having no fans there is supposed to scare somebody and change something ? We are 95% (at least) certain to go down and we should get over it and stop being so negative. No amount of protesting at the ground or behind a keyboard is going to change anything, never has and never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just like you don't see the point in it I don't see the point in being positive or simply accepting what is happening which appears to be your alternative. Each to their own.

Paul33 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) For me, going along and supporting the team doesn't equate to "being positive and simply accepting what is happening" ...... I'm not going to cheer on the chairman, owner, past managers or anybody that is ACTUALLY responsible for our demise. I'm supporting the players / the team as that's what I thought being a fan is all about ! Edited January 16, 2016 by Paul33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul33 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Nor am I - the point was that surely you don't go to VP to support the chairman or any off-pitch official ..... do you ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) The attendance will be poor in any case. I suspect people will just not go because it's midweek, in the cup and against a League 2 side, rather than as actual protest. So, seeing as though nobody will be able to tell the difference, why bother protesting? In addition, are people forgetting that Randy is already trying to sell the club, negating any need for any kind of protest anyway?? Plus, he doesn't seem to give **** what the fans think. All in all, I don't get it. Edited January 17, 2016 by One For The Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm going. For four main reasons; 1) The players have earned my support over this last week. 2) Really **** off with the lack of effort and the apathy shown towards protest against Palace. Can't be arsed now unless it's properly organised. 3) Wycombe need the money. 4) Randy won't care. Unless we are talking millions rather than potentially £100k, it won't make a blind bit of difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted January 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2016 On 16/01/2016 at 08:43, theboyangel said: it's a tenner a ticket and I happen to be back in the midlands with work for a few days. Dragging 5 work colleagues along, consisting on two Plymouth Argyle fans, a ManUre fan, a Liverpool fan and a Spurs fan (all are born and bred Devon - where the vast majority are plastic supporters of 'top' teams!) I was born and used to live in North Devon and I support Villa, does that make me a plastic fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the vast majority support the top clubs because they've won a lot recently and Sky show their matches and dribble over them every five minutes. When have Villa been media darlings? Not in the Sky/Premier League era. Hardly any kids (and I mean youngsters up to mid twenties) in my town support Argyle - its all Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd and bizarrely a spate of Man Citeh fans have cropped up in recent years. Not all of them have the obligatory 'Uncle' who was from Manchester and bought them their first kit etc - glory hunters the lot of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 either way it will be a low crowd. 22k max but i think it will be below 20k for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted January 18, 2016 Administrator Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm locking this as there isn't a protest or boycott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
