Happy Face 29 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 ashleyout.com A site every bit as good as Sackpardew. Just needs the fans to get behind it as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 When you look at the Hicks/Gillett protests by the Liverpool fans it genuinely baffles me as to why we've done fuck all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADP 0 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Large scale boycott is the only way. Even if it doesn't hit him financially (seem to recall someone on here giving some figures about proportion of average ticket prices against box tickets as an example of how it would not cost the club as much as you'd think), at least its statement itself. No other option but to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Large scale boycott is the only way. All he cares about is advertising Sports Direct, 10k fans boycotting every game wouildn't bother him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 I don't like gave trekking each other the only way. Hope they're inclusive. Of you don't go, champion. If you do, protest, don't spend any more money, leave early, get the cheapest ticket you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I've stopped going, not out of protest but because it's fucking shit & I don't think they deserve my money. I only go for free these days, Past few seasons my numbers are dwindling, 17 matches in the Europa League season, 6 or 7 last year, 2 so far this year. It's pointless man.

Gemmill 44811 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Difficult to oust an owner, particularly given that revenue from fans is relatively insignificant proportionally. Even setting that all aside though, this will be undermined by 95% of match going fans who are either oblivious or don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADP 0 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 All he cares about is advertising Sports Direct, 10k fans boycotting every game wouildn't bother him. Course it wouldn't. I was referring to a San Siro style boycott - like basically completely empty. A lot of toon supporters seem unable, or unwilling to do that though - which, is up to them. Personally, it has gone so far past the point where 'support the team, not the board' resonated for me as a reason to go to the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I suppose a lot of people who didn't support the sackpardew.com movement citing that Ashley was THE problem have no excuse now. Big difference between putting pressure in the owner to sack the manager and actually ousting the owner sadly. By no means am I mocking those putting their time and effort into this. If I felt/feel it could genuinely lead to major improvements I would/will do what I can to get on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I just hope anyone/everyone who hasn't had the passion for the club sucked out of them gets invovled in this. The alternative is to sit on your hands and watch the last remnants of this once great club be flushed away and say "if only" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21592 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I've jacked in the ST now. Was difficult because it was a brilliant value ticket in the East stand, it'll be sold on straight away and even if Ashley fucks off I'll never get an equivalent ST. Had to ask myself what's the point though? I leave the match more frustrated and pissed off than ever nowadays. The thing that really pisses me off though is working out Ashley's motive. He can afford to do whatever he likes but it seems the act of making more money is the only thing he enjoys, to the detriment of tens of thousands of normal Newcastle fans. What a fucking cunt the man is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 For the sackpardew.com protest Ashley was quite prepared to let Pardew take all the flak it wasn't an attack on him so he wasn't arsed. But this time it's going to be personal against Ashley now we know for a fact he wont like it. Our next 2 games are live on Sky, away to Liverpool then home to Spurs perfect platforms for the fans to show their utter disrespect for Ashley the way he disrespects them.

Kitman 2204 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Unfortunately I don't think anything the fans say will affect Ashley. The only thing that would have the remotest impact would be bad publicity for Sports Direct at the ground; as has already said it seems the majority of matchgoers won't support that.

HanColo 0 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The guy put bin bags on loads of the gates during sackpardew and took the chronicles sandwiches away when they wrote anything remotely scathing. Not saying he'll bow easily to pressure, but he's not the thick skinned juggernaut he's made out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
