    Just imagine though if it's the first game our new manager is in charge for.

    I am away anyway on that day but would seriously consider not attending.

    Rupp has to shit or get off the pot.

    Let's just also be clear that it's not acceptable to have a go at fans that still want to go.

    There will inevitably be a few.

    They can take some photos from inside the stadium, should be good for a laugh.

    Peterborough are away at the Dogs on the Friday night, we should all rock up in the away end, in full BCFC colours, show MacAnthony what he’s missing!
    And probably for the first time all season actually witness a decent football match.

    Just imagine if Evans gets the gig before the Swindon game...
    Half boycotting to get Rupp out.
    T'other half boycotting because Evans is in charge.
    Would you have to specify your particular reason?

    We've put up with far too much since the takeover

    Really is time to make a stand

    Let him see and hear about it

    I also feel we have to respect the views of fellow posters on this site and beyond. Some will be strongly against an idea like this, have counter arguments, etc.

    No matter, the fans themselves (irrespective of view) ain't the real issue at this club.

    I’ve boycotted since October whilst we had Adams. First game tonight since then and although it was utter shite, I want to go on Saturday!

    Rather than boycott I think all season ticket holders should attend and have a full 90 minutes of peaceful protest against Rupp in the ground. Banners, chants, anti-ownership songs, anything. We don't need to spend anything in the ground, we've paid for our seat already. It might make national news. If we call for a boycott there'll always be those who will attend, therefore the low crowd won't be reported because of the season ticket figure. It'll hardly make the T&A.

    A few members on here boycotting the match will make no difference whatsoever. You would never garner enough interest with the many thousands who don't do social media.

    The most effective way of protest in my opinion is a vocal one inside the ground. It helped get shut of Adams

    and have all the happy clappers looking at you in disgust ????? Nahhhhh just stay away a drop in food sales and program sales will start hurting them ......... thousands of empty seats will also become an embarrassment........... if there are only 4/5 still in the ground then that should start alarm bells ringing
