is collymore right?

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Boycott of games? Can't see it happening. Boycott the merch, programs, refreshments, take your own food in.

Take down the system, one cheese and pickle sandwich at a time.

The baguette not the bullet.

I assume if his employer  requests him to attend a Villa game in the course of his work this season, he will refuse ?
Assuming his employer insisted, he would either resign or he could be dismissed ?

I would love love to find out how serious he is.

I don't like cheese and pickle, can I boycott the balti pies instead ?

I wouldn't support a boycott on the basis that I couldn't ask others to do what I'm not prepared to do myself.

However. I did think that the shockingly low gate againat Man City was a more powerful message to the Board than anything else the fan base has managed.

I'll leave it there.

[PaulTheVillan]

An empty ground would send a message. But then again, so would burning the ground down.

The thing is with Stan, where was he last season when we were going 10 hours without a goal? I don't remember him kicking up too much of a stink then. Where was he when we were going 10 games without a win? Where was he when the media were defending Mcleish and using his nose link as a stick to bash us?

Perhaps he was taken in by the PR like a lot of other Villa fans were during the same period? Never the less he now realises where the problem lies, as like the rest of us.

Falling for PR is one thing. Hoping for the best because they're your team is one thing. The Mcleish bashing we got, another excuse to roll out the fickle comments to tar us with is another and that wanker barely uttered a peep, if he had his finger on the pulse at the Villa he'd know that, but he doesn't. I doubt he takes much in living in the Collymore bubble in his own head.

The mans a knob and the only boycott is the one Stan's currently got with his brain.

[Countryside Villain]

I'm rarely there these days with life getting in the way but I don't think a boycott would achieve anything positive.  Aside from stopping doing something you enjoy, whether for the football or the social, a club with dwindling attendances and rock bottom match day income will look like a club on a downhill spiral of decline and an unattractive proposition to either players or potential buyers.

Seems like cutting your nose off to spite your face.

[rob_bridge]

Interestingly one of the push reasons for me not retaining my season ticket in the late 1990's was the abject performances of SVC and subsequent leeching of money from the club, regardless of said performances. This whilst professing an undying love for the club.

[dave.woodhall]

This boycott Stan wants. If he's due to be reporting from Villa Park will he take part, and therefore not get paid?

[Edvard Remberg]

He is advocating a boycott now, not because of our dire situation (which has been lurking for a while) - but because he has personally been "rejected" by not accepting his expertise.

His ego fuels this

If he turns up to do work at any other Villa game this season he is just a hypocrite.   

[Clampy]

Like I said a few pages back, if he was any kind of fan he'd be urging fans to get down there and get behind the team.

[mrfuse]

So if the general feeling is that Collymore is wrong and that we shouldn't boycotts games, what is a positive way to really make a stance against the board?
