    I mentioned on our podcast recently that, not to downplay the issues with the owners, COVID has surely shown for those who have the means to attend, that perhaps life's too short to deny yourself something you love for purely stubborn reasons. Even if it's as simple as reconnecting with people you haven't seen in over a year, going to live sport is a fantastic experience so many are needlessly denying themselves in the hope that it will push the owners out.

    It feels a little bit demeaning, when you're making a stand and you're standing by your principles, only to be told you're just being stubborn.

    But hey, you crack on with that mate.

    The combination of promotion and the fact that nobody's been able to attend for over a year, is obviously going to have a significant positive effect on attendances next season, assuming there's no limits on numbers.

    I don't think anyone who's refusing to attend at the moment is doing so because they think it will push the owners out.

    He did...one of his hypocritical recent posts on the "transfer" thread:

    "... but calling someone a ****ing idiot for making a reasoned point is a bit over the top. You can disagree with them without getting personal."

    Next he'll be offering marriage guidance councelling. :emoticon-0100-smile

    Exactly, I have an opinion like everyone, but I don't expect everyone to agree with me. It's a shame that some will get angry about other people's opinions rather than just listen, consider and take it or leave it.

    Agree with the tourists bit but the reason there were tickets to sell to tourists is because our own supporters didn't buy up our full allocation. Or people pretending to be City fans buying tickets for the big games, especially during our first season in the Prem, and selling them on. I know that happened v Arsenal when we won 2-1 because a group of them were sat behind me and I asked them. It annoyed me at the time because two mates I had travelled with had to buy tickets in the Arsenal end off touts. But that's the Premier League for you.

    Is councelling the same as what we call counselling back in Blighty?

    Fair enough if there's some other reason, but everyone keeps saying it's not this, not that, and I've said before, you do you, it's just a shame you're denying yourself joy as a result. Didn't mean anything else by it.

    I'm denying myself the shame and horror of realising I'm subsidising two of the biggest ****s on the planet. I doubt I could live with myself.
    Hope this helps

    Why do you keep claiming that anyone who's not going is trying to hurt the Allams to get rid of them?

    They obviously want the Allams gone, but people aren't daft enough to think that just them not going is going to have any effect on when the Allams will leave.

    I don't drink at a Weatherspoons pub, as think the owner Tim Martin is an utter ****, but I don't expect me not drinking there will have any effect on him at all.

    Not wanting to put money in the pockets of people you despise doesn't mean you think your boycott will have any tangible effect on them. Like OLM said, some people don't drink in Wetherspoons because they dislike the owner but they don't seriously think their boycott will affect him.

    I payed the £10 for each iFollow game because I bought into the 'support your club, not illegal streams' thing but I still understand if people didn't even want to pay that, especially after the membership debacle.

    Likewise, I don't think Scousers refuse to buy the Sun because they think their boycott will have any real effect on News Corps profits...
