Well, that's certainly an effective way to protest against O'Neill, as he'll have no club to run. Unfortunately, we'll also have no club to watch. Yep, pretty effective, Davo.  |
Perhaps it's a bit hypocritical of me to wade in here, as I don't get to may matches these days, but to me a boycott is what you do if your club is run by crooks (Chester) and there's no other way to get them out (it's ok mods, Vaughan was convicted). As far as I can tell, DO'N is merely out of his depth and as it's pretty obvious that he can't make money out of Stanley, boycotting isn't going to make much difference to him except perhaps in status. It will, however, make a great difference to those who work for the club (many of whom could then lose their jobs) and to those who care about the club's continuing survival at football league level, or perhaps at any level.
If you choose not to go to matches, fair enough. It's your money and you can spend it where and how you like. A fair few posters on here don't go to games for various reasons. For my part I live too far away and am involved in football here on matchdays. However, please don't make the mistake of thinking that your "boycott" is a remotely effective way of punishing O'Neill or that the club won't suffer disproportionately as a result.
And on that note, I should probably check whether my mum and dad have renewed their season tickets.
Back to topic, I wish all the new signings the best of luck. Journeyman or not, in a young squad I think that Parkinson's experience could be invaluable at the tougher end of the season. Now all we need is for that embargo to be lifted. (Next week?).
