BobbyBiscuit Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 Believe me I've thought about it long and hard. (Quiet at the back, there!) Apart from Kilmarnock all the other clubs have voted correctly so I don't think they deserve to be boycotted. If anything we need to support them too but paying ourselves into their ground. At the end of the day they're still "competing" in a corrupt organisation. It has to be said though I think I will get a season ticket. And I'm definitely going to sell-out Saturday! I'm not really comfortable with all this boycott stuff (not saying you are, Tyrant). I can obviously understand why, but it's tantamount to bullying; "Vote the way we want you to vote or we'll fuck you over next season". Which, last time I looked, is a pretty similar way to how the huns have acted through all of this. People keep banging on about making the league stronger and how this is an opportunity for the game to grow; it simply won't if that's the attitude of people. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 Not really BB, simply no having anything to do with a league which condoned quite astounding levels of corruption and a club which did likewise seems pretty reasonable. I'm still no sure if football in Scotland is remotely worth any kind of support. We have 3 governing bodies hell bent upon maintaining the duopoly and the shady past of at least 2 of their office bearers, the conduct of at least two being a total disgrace. The SFL CE now trusted implicitly by that cunt McCoist? The games fucked but at least AFC are showing the necessary, just wish they would go one wee step further. Pity they have no option to be part of a completely rigged game. Quote

I'm not saying it's unreasonable, I said I can understand it, just that if we want this to work then I think we have to rise above it. I can fully understand people turning their backs on it - let's face it, the game in this country is worse than shite - but I don't think folk can really be all pious about helping each other out while they're also saying to another club "That's you fucked now", especially when that club went against the wishes of its own support.

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 It's very likely I'll just go to home games next season and a couple of others, Ross County and United probably. Quote

That's why I said that other SPL clubs don't deserve to be boycotted. Or are you referring to Killie? Most of us boycott Killie because it's too far away! As I said I don't think I could attend games at Pittodrie and boycott other grounds. Firstly because I enjoy away games usually and also because as I said and as (i think) you alluded to they need our support. Together we can help strengthen the league. AFC have the 3rd biggest travelling support so we can make a difference. Quote

I'm much the same TF, would rather give the Dons my money but I will take in some away matches when I can and I'll definitely be at St Johnstone in August. I completely agree.
