Dortmund fans to protest/boycott this weekend

[bringer678]

Why can't this happen over here!?

 

[VOOMER]

It's the one thing the German fans have over the English. Solidarity when it comes to the wider issues (ie beyond single club issues)

The marched together to stop TV schedules taking over the game. They marched for safe standing and marched for cheaper prices.

Here, Mancs wont stand side by side with Scousers, Geordies wont stand with Mackems, Villa with Brum, Pompey with Saints and London clubs wont stand together etc etc.

Until fans put their parochial attitudes to one side and walk side by side together, the football authorities will continue to ignore fan based issues for their benefits.

Imagine 10,000 football fans from all over the country marching on the FA's office in Soho, or Parliament demanding safe standing? No fights, no drunken arrests, no windows smashed. Just peacefully marching together as one on one issue.
They do it in Germany.... so why not in England?

Two facts, the price of a bundesliga ticket is heavily subsidised by the german government and all german first division teams are given grants of 50% of any ground build, or new stadia cost. Their league is a shambles and as the credit crisis really starts to hit home cost will spiral and gates will drop.

It'll be hard to Do it at home because of season tickets but away from home say a Liverpool Chelsea or the rags if no one turned up it'll be noticed but if those clubs get wind of it they'll just sell em to there own fans

Thats the difference, City fans planned to boycott Bolton away a few years back if i remember correctly. 1,500 turned up instead of the usual 4,500. That has no impact, its just like Birmingham rolling into town.

Everybody has their own agenda in England.

Stand up pissed up and have a laugh singing.
Occasionally join in with songs if somebody around you is starting it all.
Sit in silence and don't dare move. If somebody blocks your view at a Derby FA Cup 3rd round tie by standing during a corner scream at them to sit down.

Out of interest did anyone see the Ajax AZ game this week? Only women and kids aloud in the stadium. The stadium was half full, sounded like 20,000 vuvuzelas on helium.

The was no boycott at Bolton.

Plus we only used to get 3k there max.

The season of the supposed Boycott the prices went down £3 per ticket, so it would have made no sense to boycott it.

However the usual fans who paid £31 on the lower tier, had to pay £36 on the upper as the £28 lower tier were not put on sale.

We should have boycotted United away which was more expensive, not a pretend boycott by fans who often don't go anyway.

They do it in Germany.... so why not in England?

Its the German psyche and culture. Things like the collapse of the Berlin Wall, and the aftermath of WW2.

It's gone past that mark now. £40 isn't unusual.

£50 however is the mark all English football fans should say "haha, fuck off! stick her fucking rip-off tickets up yet arse, you robbing cunts!"

Wigan have been doing this for years

Pmsl

It's too late now. If it rises anymore, they'll just drop the prices to £35 and say "There's your improvement". Fans will see that and be happy with themselves for changing something, and pay again.
