Boycotting the first half will not work

[Huffton]

Neither will walking out at half time. To do this you still have to buy a ticket. The only language L*we understands is money, and to remove him we have to remove whats keeping him there. Lets get this organised properly and totally boycott one full game, no home fans in the ground whatsoever. I understand the people who want to support the team etc but its one game. One game for the greater good of the club we all bleed for.

I won't be going on the 3rd Feb I have got something much better to do that evening. Shame as far as the attendance is concerned I will be counted as being there.

if some one like crouch was to make a bid for lowe or wildes shares or another investor came in,i would be behind any boycott to make it happen but otherwise we got no plan b.

Won't work for me, my ticket is already paid for.

Any type of boycott will only work if the boycotters still turn up and stay OUTSIDE of the ground. Otherwise no-one knows you're boycotting.

Apart from all the photographers in the ground, local news, various radio pundits, sky sports, bbc etc etc

Realistically - it wont work. Too many die hard fans... which is a good thing.

 

If you want to hurt Lowe and the remaining shareholders, peacefully, picket and protest at their other businesses. That's how you humiliate them and expose their incompetence and its easy to do. Once their other (successful) business interests start to suffer and they're put under pressure by other shareholders and business partners and employees elsewhere due to the embarrassment of protesters outside their other businesses - they'll all be out of Southampton FC like a shot.

 

Barclays Bank is also another good target.

 

Also so is Mrs Lowe. Rupert has already declared her at the AGM as his Archilles Heal. A nice letter supporting her point of view that he should never have taken the job would help I'm sure.

 

BUT it must must must all be done non-violently and politely despite all the frustrations.

Agreed - this is the only way for a boycott to get publicity and have real impact.
