Grianaig Jacobite Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The SFA wont give a toss about this petition. The only thing that will make them change their minds is when people stop going to the games and stop joining the supporters club. They know that that wont happen in sufficient numbers to hurt them financially especially if we qualify for the Euro's. So their attitude is get it right up you and keep giving us your money.

Exglasgowasc Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Do you have any other suggestions apart from a petition? I doubt it will work but we have to give it a go and encourage everybody to sign it. I have stopped going to the home games for this campaign and am not renewing my membership. I know I'm not alone but I also know as you say it wont be in sufficient numbers. As seen in the media over the weekend they seem to be onside regarding the ridiculous ticket prices. I believe there is a supportive article in tomorrow's Record. We have to put some kind of pressure on them and to me a petition is one way of doing that. Have you looked at the three statements regarding the petition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ANDYP Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 A mass boycott of the gibraltar home match, where we should still win without the backing of the fans, I would urge everyone to get to the Ireland game though as this is a game where we could make the difference and help the team to 3 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sad to see that apathy is clearly rife. This would have been massively more supported even a few years ago. Looks like the SFA tactics have worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I doubt petitions will work Susan and there is no way they will change the prices after the campaign has started & tickets have been sold There is only one tactic that will We all know what that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the two things (signing a petition and "we all know what") need not be mutually exclusive. Edited October 21, 2014 by Flure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killie97 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 I have signed again.A possible reason is giving away your email and geting non related emails. Just a thought why.

Ally Bongo Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Now. These days. They are very uncomfortable. I am led to believe. Another irk about the SFA and how little they feel about the fans is summed up in the hiring of Daryl Broadfoot who had spent years slagging Scotland fans off We really should have chucked it then ....

John_B81 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Whether or not petitions will work is irrelevant, the point is getting the message across to the SFA by whatever possible means so I'd encourage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
