Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

[Demitri_C]

I'm not boycotting watching the best team we have had in a generation - I just won't spend another penny in the ground or shop.

Good idea tbh. I wouldnt spend any more money at ground anyway. The foods terrible and over priced. You wait forever too

This is just another example of the world we live in today, where consumer capitalism is rife.
Heck will keep pushing until he is told to stop.

In anticipation of this happening I already started boycotting the food and drink at Villa Park 20 years ago

I'm just going to piss straight on the floor, cut out the middle man.

I don't like to nay-say and I've no better ideas myself, but there are 3 things certain in life:
1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Boycotting/leaving games early in protest not working, ever, and looking weird and embarrassing for those that attempt it.

That's why I think the best way to highlight it, is for the crowd to loudly call him a wanker on a TV game.

The commentator would make a remark about the crowd making their feelings known about high ticket prices, highlighting it again. Maybe a camera cuts to him or the owners looking shifty.

Pretty much my stock answer to all of the problems in life, loudly call someone a wanker 👍🏻

That is very good

I would never advocate a wholesale boycott - it never gets off the ground and why should thousands of people not go to a game they have already paid for.  What I think could have traction is simply that those of us with memberships who are already saying they can't afford everything say none of us will go to a specific match. 

Preferably pick a game where the opposition has poor away support (Bournemouth, Brentford or Southampton) and so the Upper Witton doesn't sell either - suddenly after three years of consistent sell-outs you potentially have a game with 7-8k empty seats, and next to no-one using GA+.  Make the club realise that the ridiculous CL prices have simply cannibalised our support from other games, and half of the £800k extra made from pissing everyone off has been cancelled out.

Those attending the game can then also still spending 90 minutes singing Chris Heck is a Wanker - double protest for the price of one.

[Hookeysmith]

This is clearly an attack on the working class and families.

Oh grow up - this has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with an organisation that has missed read the environment it operates in.
I would imagine Heck has looked at all those we are trying to chase for revenue, those that have been fleecing their fans for years, and has tried to emulate them.
He is in a poor stating point as they do have years of exploiting the rules, manipulating every marketing opportunity possible (even unsavoury ones like visiting countries that practiced genocide) to be allowed to be in competitions that generate so much cash that match day revenues are small fry - yet still they fleece their supporters.

How many of the North West brigade of fans from all sides were left by the wayside years ago - same with the North London lot.

We had a crap business man and a huge philanthropist in Lerner - where did that get him and us?

They have got this wrong clearly - lets hope they admit it and attempt to put it right

I’m going to keep banging the drum for an 82nd minute walkout against Everton. 3 points guaranteed by that point and it will be there for the millions to see on their Amazon firestick. And I’ll moon the hospitality box in the Trinity on the way out.

Sound advice, maybe someone with skill should edit this clip and stick Heck's face on top of Paul Whitehouse's.
