My concern is, with our current predicament, we will hurt the club. No fan wants that.

Stop going games =
1. Less revenue so less investment
2. Lower attendance so less IMG points

Less investment = poorer performance so less IMG Points again.

It’s your choice what you do with your money but to boycott games will just hurt the club.

Realistically we’re safe this year and appear to have a long term goal, any protest needs to make sure we don’t undermine it.

Jack Charles, Lewis Martin, Nick Staveley, Cobie Waignhouse are all part of Pearson’s investment into our youth structure and it will play dividends. That’s excluding Balmforth as TS doesn’t seem to like him. 2 of them we paid a fee for and one of them we beat nearly every other SL club to signing.

Whilst our first team performance is abysmal, we are getting it right in other places

The club barely sells any match tickets and the SMC get half the cut of crowds over about 8k and take the bar revenue so fans avoiding this season's game matters little

It if fans don't buy season passes for next year that would cause financial mayhem.

Agreed.
We should all cheer on the lads and buy 7 different kits every season.
That’ll teach em.

Protesting is MEANT to hurt the club. If you’re happy with how things are, cool beans.

He clearly didn't say that.

Cool.

Anyway……

Maybe we should all agree to only quietly sing Old Faithful and not throw sweets into the pitch at full time.

Extreme I know, but desperate times etc.

No point because you are still attending the game
If fans want to genuinely protest then they should not attend.The club already have passholders money so from that point of view they are not damaging the clubs finances too much.
This would also create a media story showing on TV the empty stadium.
If that doesnt resonate with Pearson then nothing will

Pearson has 8000 fans season pass money bought on false promises, likelyhood is fans will still go, but even if just walking out to the concourse for 10-15 minutes as a start to show our displeasure how the club is being run...any banners will be taken down/off fans much quickly.

The club will still announce 10k anyway (8k pass holders plus SMC bought tickets plus a handful of a away fans) it's all an illusion.

IMG need to be doing an audit on how many fans are actually in the grounds, several clubs playing games with the numbers

Protesting is supposed to hurt the clubs hierarchy not the clubs long term future like the ideas others suggested. If you want to compromise the clubs future then you're an idiot.

Lol.

You think you’d be compromising the clubs future by not attending games?
As has been said, the club already has our money. A few rounds of 4-5k attendances would send out a strong message to Pearson that we will not continue to be treated like idiots.

You still in touch with your mate Bumpy?
Could get another petition going?
You signed up to his last one didn't you?
Think you two could even get a moron ike Donald Trump
interested.

The reality is that TS has been brought in to reorganise the playing side of the club also, as Tarquin has said numerous times, change the culture. Even Gaz Ellis said he couldn’t motivate some players. AP has nailed his colours to the mast, he’s using this season to clear debts and hopefully negotiate a better deal with SMC. I’m as sick of jam tomorrow as anyone else but I’ve been around for 60+ years. Protests won’t work because of the above. TS will move upstairs to Director of Rugby and Grix is the next coach. It’s clearly a case of put up or shut up. What we have is what we have. Staying away won’t make ha’peth of difference, he’s got your dosh and gates of 10,000. The season’s fooked, just wish TS would see sense and get Balmforth in for Houghton who should clearly call it a day, he’s not a captain, he hardly ever shouts the odds to the team. Carlos is another sick note. TS says he can’t play 5 young lads at the same time, WTF we’re getting hammered week in week out, give the kids a chance and get shot of sick notes and non tryers. Oh, hang on, we’d be playing a mixture of reserves and academy. Get on with it Smith
