I'm not so sure about Kronke's influence on the club to be honest because he knows very little about football and Wenger is the man with the vision. But that's another debate. This is why I say an outright boycott for the odd game is a clear message.
    A key problem highlighted by you there. We should be clearly aware of the influence of the owner. But no. Nothing.

    I suspect however we all have an idea what his intentions are. While we hear nothing from him, we see what happens every season and every transfer window.

    Everything about us is predictable. On the pitch and off it.

    Which fucker is going to be sold next? The only thing that has changed now, is that I and I expect you and others don't care who goes next.

    Because what are we left with now?

    Nothing. Nothing at all worth caring about. No identity. No soul.

    We used to chant that Chelsea ain't got no history.

    Well we are worse, far worse than that, because we've sold ours. The club is a stinking cesspool of shit where every bit of effort possible is dedicated to bleeding it dry.
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    I was saying the same thing to a friend today, it’s like we’ve sold our soul. It’s only just struck me that we seem void of any real football men with Arsenal at heart at Board level as well as on the pitch now. The hope has been sucked dry from the fans. In the Cesc era I at least believed things would get better once we’d paid off more of the debt but the situation is looking bleak now. It feels like an elaborate con and we’ve all been stung.

    Only about 3 people on this board regularly go to games so boycotting isn't going to do much.

    I gave up my season ticket a few seasons ago but that was more to do with the atmosphere being better at home when I watch the games on tv.

    Emirates' atmosphere is proper shit so I don't really see the point in going to games.

    It's true that tourist fans might fill the empty seats if fans boycotted. But there's a difference between season ticket sales and gate receipts. I would think a lot of financial decisions are made off the back of confirmed season ticket sales. Not so easy to predict and manage the financial affairs (euphemism for rape and pillage) when the data is coming in week by week and has become more reliant on tourists who may only be in the capital once or twice a year. So a season ticket boycott could be effective.

Even if we were to drop out of the Champions League, I doubt that would change things because as said in a previous season, we can survive without Champs League money.

    So what else is left? Is it unrealistic to suggest a boycott of the cup games? If the club don’t care about them then why should we pay to watch it? Would be interesting to see how many people are considering this. We’re the main source of income to the club and it we’re treated more like customers and not supporting fans. If that’s the case, wouldn’t send a clear message to the Board and manager that things need to change?
    I dont even think that Sir Geoffrey would want to take Wenger's job at the mom........Oh I see!
