Meadows Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Lots of talk about protests , boycotts etc . Wondering if people think JKB should make a stand by refusing to take (pay) for hospitality tickets in the short term ? By people continually throwing money at the club, it sends the message everything in the garden is rosy . Thoughts ? Quote
rocketman19 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 It's better suggestion than boycotts that's for sure ! Quote
Jambof3tornado Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 No. Jkb is taking a stand. Our posts are regularly quoted by the evening news. Pity Ann isnt listening. Quote
The Gorgie Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 People will continue to throw money at the club purely because they love it. You can still pump money in and make your feelings knowm about how things are at the moment, its not a one or the other type situation. Quote

GinRummy Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Great idea. Any message to the club showing the fans displeasure is good. Quote

TheOak88 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Don’t think it’s the best way to put across the message. If people want to protest it should be something that captures the eye of the press and potentially leads to pressure being put on Dr Budge to act. Quote

I have no idea how Kickback works with giving money to the club but I had always thought they would have already paid for items like hospitality, match sponsorship, player sponsorship etc already this season. I could be wrong but I thought they would have taken in annual fees and spoken to the club about what they are going to pay for over the season. Maybe my idea of how organised Kickback is could be way off of course. Quote

OTT Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 If folk seriously don't believe that bums on seats attendances aren't being meticulously tracked (thats tickets scanned on match day), they're kidding themselves. Its data which will show hard and fast what the fan feeling is. For example if the average amount of season ticket holders to miss a game is 10 then if suddenly this is 100, 200, 300 then alarm bells will be going off... you'd think? If you chucked it into a graph there will be a slide this season which will be making the board nervous IMO. Non renewals this season must also have been a point discussed somewhere. Quote

Spoleto Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Show the club where you stand by all means. If you're not happy then don't go to games and leave the rest of us to get on with supporting the club. It really IS that simple. Go shopping, read a good book, pick up the knitting needles .......... Quote

Getintaethem Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Really don't see the point in boycotts, protests etc. The simple fact is people will just stop attending games. The empty stands, drop in walk ups and catering and hospitality revenue will eventually force the clubs hand. Levien is running out of time and both he and the board know it. Quote
