[Official TC Thread] General Fan Action & Sack the Board Thread - TalkCeltic Signed letter

Its the europa leage.. its normally only about 40k we sell for that. Easy to say that they are protesting when they wouldn't buy the europa league ticket anyway. I wouldnt be suprised if supporters buy tickets that dont get tickets normally and end up selling more than we would usually.

 

Same here, know a few who are planning to go to games. It's a tricky one as a lot of people are (quite rightly) saying back the team, no matter what - fair enough. For me I prefer to abstain from spending as it's my only form of protest being away from Scotland. I will buy kits and make arrangements to get to the odd game a season usually, but enough is enough.

 

I don't think our happiness is of any concern to this board at all. Their only concern is the profit margin. We have such a loyal fanbase that supporters, usually starved of access to European matches (whether through availability or non-qualification) will grab the opportunity of attending these games and cheering on the team we all adore. Whether we agree with this sentiment or not, I respect everyone's right to do what their conscience permits, it's not necessarily in favour of the board, something with board will never understand and we equally have to accept. Ideally most of us would love to see vast empty seats in support of the protest, realistically I doubt that will happen. Hopefully any attending fans will show distain towards the governing bodies and voice their opinion of them loudly and clearly, and not purchase from the shop or food outlets inside the stadium either. Maybe the hierarchy will then think 'Hold on, we've not sold as many seats as we'd hoped through boycotting, now even those that have bought tickets are shouting they don't like us either'. So fan groups have shown their displeasure, now those not actually affiliated are also showing their resentment too!.
Ticket sales are down, merchandise sales are down, AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING! They must understand we love the club, we back Brendan and the team but we despise the board deeply. Make them squirm in their privileged seats as they look at their phones. They were uncomfortable with 5000 jeering at the Partick Thistle, imagine 60000 at Paradise, louder, prouder and more defiant.

It's a conundrum...isn't it?

 

Had a look at the seat map fir Braga, its definitely filling up..

 

£45 a ticket is a disgrace imo, each to their own but don’t think people should be paying that if they really want change at boardroom level

 

Finally have a home game to put real pressure on

 

Aye, was just going to post that.. hopefully it gets whole stadium participation

 

Make the board as uncomfortable as possible and leave absolutely no doubt to Desmond and his board cronies that they need to go. All the while backing Brendan Rodgers and the team loudly and proudly. Both of which I though were done brilliantly last weekend at Firhill.
