Lambies Lost Doo Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Never thought I would propose this. I'm a season ticket holder. Mild mannered. Happy clapper. Never boo and shout encouragement. Need a real protest. Boycott the cup game. Caldwell has to go. One of our best players has went from bottom of chamionship to top 6 premiership team. Illogical. Relegation must be avoided. Need to send a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 They won’t care if people boycott it. Better to attend and protest during the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 To a sense a lot of people have been boycotting a while with falling attendances and it does not seem to have had the desired effect so I’m more with the more vocal/seen protest during matches. Sort of display the young team arranged at Ibrox or in North Stand before only with different message. I’d happily contribute to that.

northjag Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 No to a boycott. Yes to a protest at the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KemoAvdiu Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Absolutely no to a boycott. But Caldwell needs to know on Saturday how the fans feel. A victory over a League One side (although not to be taken for granted) also cannot be used to gloss over the disgraceful mismanagement that is taking place.

They don’t give a toss as long as we keep paying. Boycot it and all payments to club till Caldwell and the chair go. Protest outside, watch from canal, but by funding them your supporting them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as Thistle fans, health withstanding, will be at Firhill long after most or all of these people that have made a mess of our club are gone.

I'll happily go and sit at the North End of the JHS but I'm not sure sitting alongside 40-50 Stranraer fans will achieve the desired effect. I'd rather storm the AR Lounge and steal all the half time pies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow & Redneck Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Fan pressure can work. The "Keep The North Stand Red and Yellow" banner from the young guys got a bit of attention and the desired effect. Would take a lot more this time, but I am all for any action that fans think necessary. Will be the first to volunteer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy McD Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Just an idea .why don't we all boycott the J.H.S. and all fill the J.L.S.... We all get to see the game shout as much abuse at Caldwell as we can ..I think it could make more of a statement rather than pockets of us sitting in the J.H.S..mumbling away... Hope to see you all there from 2.30...onwards...Mon the Jags... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawlty Towers Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Did not think I would be reading never mind posting in a thread about boycotting a Thistle game. Just a few points: A boycott might not be that noticeable given it is a non season ticket cup tie in mid January. It is a bit harsh on Stranraer as the gate receipts would be shared. A larger crowd making whatever point they choose to make (within reason of course) would have more impact. Those who know me would probably say I could be classed as a "happy clapper" - well I am not happy or clapping at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Partick Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Can I request any support for a Yellow Vest Demo outside the Main Door at Firhill before and after Saturdays game. Lets support the team we need to start winning games, Saturday needs to be the start of a winning run. Sack the board, get rid of the Manager, CEO ??????

thru thin and thin Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 The fact that our directors box and the home dugouts have been located in a stand that is normally filled with away fans, has deflected the general feeling of annoyance and anger that the jags fan are feeling at the moment. I have always thought that this contributed to the slow lack of action by the board during Archie's tenure, and it now continues with Caldwell. When we lost away to East Fife and it got a bit hostile, both Archie and the board were visibly rattled! Why do we not pack out the Aitken Suite on Saturday and again the following week, for a rousing chorus of 'Sack the Board' and 'Caldwell must go'. The board would certainly here as the boardroom is only through the foyer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodstock Jag Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 “Won’t someone think of Stranraer’s cut of the gate receipts” is very possibly the single worst argument against a boycott I’ve ever read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazzJag Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 This thread is a shambles. Absolute Thistle Da's on one. "Let's come up with a boycott plan on a forum that about 20 people read." If you really want to voice your opinion, it's as simple as going into the JLS, standing at the back and chanting sack the board...i'm sure it'll catch on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
