canary cherub 1 Posted October 1, 2007 The atmosphere at CR is toxic. If the team had to play in an empty stadium, it couldn''t be worse and might even take a bit of pressure off.

Did you buy a 5-year ticket because Mystic Meg foretold of great things for NCFC in the near future etc etc ..... or was it because you have as much love, affection and eternal optimism for ''your club'' as thousands of others up and down the country.

Show Me What You Gooot! 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Don''t forget not everyone uses this forum so only the peeps here will get that message not to go. Even if you spread this to the other forums you''d only get that message across to the few hundred that post regularly. Thats nothing in comparison to 24000.I''m going because I want to support the team on the pitch. My views on the board and Grant remain in limbo atm whilst I try to decide weather to honour my promise of supporting them this last season or not. Going to a game may help me break that deadlock in my mind and say yay or nay to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Absolutely right Mystic...a quiet, non aggressive act which will only hurt those in financial control.As for the players?...I repeat that it will only be the "no hopers" who will react negatively. Any decent players will feel the power of the supporters behind them and so will know that they..and their talents aren''t being taken for granted.It''s a win win scenario that might just save our club from disaster........

Hairy Canary 699 Posted October 1, 2007 Seeings as the hugh majority of people attending are season ticket holders it will make virtually no financial impact though Cluck. It might make a point to the club about the level of dissatisfaction but thats all. It''s down to each individual if they think thats worth doing or not. Me, I will always support the team and amazing as it seams this season, I actually enjoy going (well to be honest I actually enjoy the anticipation more than the event recently), so I''ll be there.

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted October 1, 2007 I have been calling for this for an age.It should have happened Saturday and again on Tuesday.Nothing shouts louder than a block of empty seats.I gave up my season ticket and go when I want. I didn''t go Saturday and won''t go Tuesday although I have been offered two deason ticket holders seats because they and their families no longer wish to go.If it was just the football I would get behind my team, I am never prepared to turn up and boo them. But, it is the poisonous atmosphere which does for me and has done so in the past. The same thing is happening on this message board.Short sharp, decisive action is never the Norfolk way. Long drawn out handwringing is......regrettably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kettering canary 0 Posted October 1, 2007 I think it would make a big financial difference if fans stay away,even if they are season ticket holders,the club would still be missing out on a good £7 - £8 per head on refreshments before the game and at half time , probably even more if people go as familys, so a decent no show would effect the clubs pockets.

ca 1 Posted October 1, 2007 Well said Rainbow, no wonder the regulars on here are leaving and not bothering to post much when you have wasters like Smudger openly admitting that he wants our team to lose and dominating every thread with his drivel.Some poeople may boycott the game Smudger and thats their right but you dont see them willing the other team to win to make them happy do you.
