A fool and his money are easily parted, and boy we seem to have plenty of fools parting with £25.

I'm not going having been to the first game but everybody's got their reasons. For some people £25 is peanuts and they really want to go to support their team so they're going. Up to them, it doesn't mean they're fools.

If you are going to go at least buy a reduced price ticket (u21 or o65), they never enforce it at away games and at least you will be denying their chairman half of the entrance.

I'm not so sure a boycott doesn't just vindicate his decision. If 2,500 turn up calling him a greedy robbing bar- steward then we make our point and so does the maths. Once- a only a few turn up and Mr power makes a loss- he has an arguement to suggest he was correctt. Yep Lee Power really seems like the sensitive sort of soul who would get upset about people calling him a robbing bastard. Boycott is the way forward, money talks.

Some people (notably 1,400) seem to struggle to comprehend that logic though.

Yep Lee Power really seems like the sensitive sort of soul who would get upset about people calling him a robbing bastard. Boycott is the way forward, money talks. But his arguement is that he needs to cover costs. If he covers costs and makes a profit then he is proven that he has over charged us. If he does not cover costs, then he is somewhat vindicated for making a charge. It is harder to prove that 'x' number extra would have attended had the game been free or half price. For example, if 1000 are prepared to spend £25 on a ticket it very likely that 1000 people are prepared to spend £10 on a ticket. If 1000 people are prepared to spend £10 on a ticket, then it is likely that less than 1000 people are prepared to spend £25 on a ticket. There are reasons not to attend and I respect the decision of those choosing not to go. Particularly if they are of the belief that the game should just be free. However, it is my opinion that a boycott gives his decision credence. Personally, all those ''boycotting' would be better writing to the FA.

The best and only way is not to pay to go in. If our fans were organised enough, there would be 3000 stood ticketless outside the ground. However we are so disjointed as a fan group that not only can't we sing at the same speed, we disagree about how best to challenge injustice like this.

I'm well versed in working out how much x number of fans will hand over to Swindle. It sounds that naively you expect that Lee Power will come out after the game and give a full breakdown of costs and income for the game. I can with certainty say that he won't be doing that. I'll still be boycotting the match.

On a Saturday maybe but even if we were organised there's no way 3000 would turn up ticket less on a Tuesday night. I can't think of many clubs in the country that could muster that.

The numbers are irrelevant. The point is that nobody would purchase a ticket yet turn up.

Advocating ticketless fans to turn up at away games! I thought only the scousers done that.

If you go you're a fu*king scumbag, scab, who isn't a real supporter. Just ask the holier-than-thou real & proper "fans" They will tell you straight, you're not a true Gashead if you go. Apparently "A fool and his money are easily parted" So more fool you!!!!!!! SCAB!!!
