      Hi! I hope there are the suitable information have already been found for correct impression and vision of the situation, I read a lot of about it on https://EssayOnTime.com/. Anyway, no matter what happend on the subject of dispute, actually and whoever created it for discussing, there is one of the important part in it – to be unshakable. I think Luke will remain so.

        And did the club agree to support it, nrp?

        Not had a response yet. Either from the Club, Supporters Club or Supporter Liaison Officers.

          Seems to be a comment from the club in the rugby post that they can’t do anything

          That was given before I wrote to them. They can’t do anything about the prices, but they can show support for their fans who are trying to do/say something about it. What I’ve asked them to do is:

          • Publicly demonstrate support for those fans that are choosing not to attend the Leeds. It will be a hard choice for some of them and to know that the club and supporters club are behind them will be of comfort.
          • Recognise that the boycott is about saying that it is wrong to charge those sorts of prices, not to pay them. Whilst it would be great if there was 100% non-attendance at the Leeds game this should not be about driving rifts between anyone who chooses to boycott and anyone who chooses to attend.
          • Promote the attempts to raise money for The Brick Homeless charity via a Virgin Money Giving page at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/LeedsBoycott
          • Make contact with Leeds Utd FC and their supporters’ organisations to make it clear that there is an active boycott, that you support it and support the idea of making football affordable.

          Too much?

            I do however think that for any boycott to have any chance of forcing the prices down, the organisers need to let Leeds United know & their supporters organisations(who for all we know may be equally pished off) so that it doesn’t look merely like “no fans” Wigan again

            I’ve been in touch with their leading fanzine and their supporters’ organisation and have had support from both. I’ve also asked our club and the supporters club to make contact with their opposite numbers and let them know (not had a response off either yet)

              No problem with people not wanting to go. Nobody is going to tell me I shouldn’t go and slag me off for if I do. Which is what I believe has been happening on social media tonight.

              I was more than likely not going – I must just change my mind now

              That’s not what I’ve tried to achieve with that article Griff. It would be great if we could get a united effort to make a statement here, but if people feel that’s not the right thing to do then it’s their call. There will always be people who overstep the mark, but the core point remains – clubs are taking the mick and will continue to until fans make it clear they’re not having it anymore.[/quote]

              No, I’m sure you weren’t, and i wasn’t getting at you. In fact, I’ll be honest, I hadn’t even read your article (sorry) when I posted. I was reacting to some comments I’d seen on Facebook and Twitter in which people were apparently being criticised for “breaking the boycott”.

              As I said, no issue whatsoever with people who decide not to go on principle. Don’t see why it should be Wigan Athletic fans who take this whole pricing issue all upon themselves and any effect will diluted by those who – quite rightly, if they choose to – will still want to pay the (ridiculous and scandalous) ticket price and go.[/quote]

              I wouldn’t say we’re on our own. Fans of many clubs are currently trying to raise awareness and support against the ridiculous and scandalous cost of football. We just have an opportunity to try and do something. As I’ve said in my letter to the club and WASC today (I won’t post a link, I’m not here to advertise) this is about saying it’s wrong to charge those prices, not that it’s wrong to pay them. As you say, people have the right to do that, but it’s a fairly obvious point that continuing to pay isn’t likely to drive change.

              Yes, I admit that there will be people who chose to go to this game, but everything has to start somewhere.

                  Are the 2 still available? Lower tier?

                    Sky have Liverpool v Manchester City at 14.05 and Swansea v Chelsea at 16:10 on the Sunday so i would guess ITV would not want to clash with those and therefore put our game on the Saturday teatime – when there is no live Premier League game that day.

                      The guy in the glasses…

                      I am certain he does not give a stuff about the premier league at this time.

                        It is not all bad, still have Europe and an F.A cup to defend next season.

                        Will Europe be a distraction next year though in a tough championship season?

                          Why is that unfortunate? £3.5m would buy a decent Championship player.

                            Football is a business, so every club needs as many customers as possible.

                            Who cares if they are all super fans or not?

                            They have to jump on board at some point, getting to a cup final is a great reason for us to attract new fans. If you’re annoyed at us losing 70m in Tv revenue then the only way we can make a small percentage of it back is by getting more fans buying tickets.

                              The guy is a magician.

                              He managed to brainwash half the people of Wigan (and many other towns around the UK) into believing they were Mancunians.

                                Oh look, a well run football club, who offers great value season tickets with a family club mentality.

                                If all these armchair football hipsters from Wigan were genuinely bothered about all the above they’d realise there’s a club identical to that on their doorstep.

                                  Give 2 tickets per season ticket. Thats 20,000 (maximum) gone.

                                  That leaves 5,000. Give the priority then to people who are willing to buy a season ticket for next season either upfront or willing to put down a deposit.

                                  Then give whatever is left to people on the database and who attended the semi but don’t have a ST.
