No insult there, just an observation. It's like the typical argument the masses at the bottom have made for centuries about political elections. You know the one. It goes like this. "I'm not going to waste my time voting because my one vote will mean nothing at the end and nothing will change because I'm not being heard." Well if every black American and every disenfranchised person in the USA had felt that way over a year ago there would not be a Barack Obama as President today. I twas all those people who in the past never bothered to vote that made the difference in the election that catapulted Obama to the Presidency. My point is simple. Nothing changes if a few blokes decide to give up their season tickets or if Grognard decides not to buy the Man Utd Official Magazine at the local magazine stand. But if more and more fans took the same direction as me and other fans and just said no to the temptation of buying tickets or buying merchandise where the money goes straight into the pockets of the Glazer scum, then perhaps that little engine that could, would make a severe enough dent in the finances of those scumbags to force them into listening hard to offers of a takeover. Rome wasn't built in a day and many military battles were not won by generals and soldiers who looked at the odds and said, Hell no. Defeatism is not going to help us here. Assertive action will. Boycott buying anything that will bring money directly to the Glazer's. Let them feel the cold for once and perhaps at some point in the near future, they will consider that holding on to this asset isn't worth the pain and trouble. We either do that or we hire someone to whack them. ;-) :grin: If everyone who says they love the team did this, it would take no time at all before the Scum picked up their ball and went home @Gator: See that’s just a bad attitude mate.
