Knowing the division in the fanbase, the "nobody tells me what to do" and " I refuse to follow that "wannabee celebrity" vibes, I was worried that the call to boycott might not have the desired impact. Also, I had the concern that absent season ticket holders would still be included in the attendance figure.
However, I felt it was so important to stay away and back the action. I was determined not to do anything to undermine the boycott plan. Sometimes, you just have to take sides and I know what side I am on.
Reflecting this morning, I think there has already been some success in actually getting our plight back into the national media. A first step and something to build on.
Also, I thought the attendance did look very sparse and I am well aware that the official attendance figure will be debunked to show an actual attendance of 6,500 or so.
Stay strong. Ignore the gloaters and the underminers.
Someone sent me a text yesterday that made me laugh out loud. It said "4000 Scabs in Blackburn Lancashire!"
