Bottom line though, who gives a fuck what other people don't want to spend their money on?
Because it's the way people bang on making out it's all about the morals and some weird justification they need for going.

Or people claim to be doing things for moral reasons?What a dismal view of the world and the people in it. No one ever does anything for a principle of from a moral point of view. They only ever do anything for anyone else to make themselves feel better, earn likes and get themselves backslaps.Sad.
You could go M1 to M60 and across to north of Manchester will put extra mileage to journey but no major roadworks, my lad lives in Wigan area and the M6 is a constant nightmare at the minute.

I'm not getting my car washed today, I should really be claiming it's because I care for Romanian people smuggling and slavery. When I go next time I'll just have the outside washed.
Like I said, I missed trick last time as I could have announced I wasn't going to eat at the Blackpool game and that I'm sadly not going tomorrow. In reality im working and the last game I got some food before we went to the game and a drink from a shop to walk down with.
Not eating or drinking for 90 minutes after you have paid 4 times as much to go in isn't really making a stand, is it? It's trying to justify going in for some reason, like a compromise.
Clearly not angry...Who are these people you are referring to that are claiming it is for moral reasons? I don't understand why their personal choices are angering you so much?

I'm just pointing out the obvious when people start to make things about morals and doing it for the other fans.Stop being so obtuse Nick. It's a reasonable compromise that meets the priorities of (1) supporting the team whilst (2) giving limited income to the Oystons.
Another option is the A50 to Warrington, slower but similar mileage to M6 but not sure what it’s like late afternoon, you go past Trentham gardens so could get busy there.It'll make the journey nearly 200 miles, although yes the M62 roadworks have finally been completed after 4 years!
Read it, there is one person saying he won't be buying food or drink at the game. Hardly 'people banging on about it'Clearly not angry...
Read the thread, I didn't make it up randomly. I replied to somebody who said about it.
Like I said, a dismal view of the world and the people in it.
Nick - I agree that some people may claim they do things for morals but would have been doing it anyway - eg NOPM when they don't go to games anyway.
But if no-one did share that the Blackpool fans were asking for people not to make additional purchases, how would anyone know. It may only be a small gesture of support but it all adds up.
There were opposition fans who stood on the hill at Northampton, yes it probably did make them feel better and made no difference at all to the outcome but at times it is good to try and make a point and sometimes small things can make a difference.
Oh, if people are going to Blackpool to stand out with their fans it's completely different and fair play to them. That really is making a stand.
Surely Principles and Morals people don't need to be told? Unless people going to the game are going to stand and sing about hating Oyston after buying tickets to go in and filling up at the bar with beer and food and not giving it a second thought.
It's like somebody being stood outside a Nike shop telling me that they use child workers and me agreeing that I will just buy trainers and will get the addon shoe protection stuff from one of the dozens of other shops that sell it around there where it is cheaper and better quality anyway.
Your not buying trainers analogy is strong.
Yeah, Also very selfish of Blackburn and Wigan to get promoted and Bury and Oldham getting relegated.... and Bolton surviving by the skin of their teeth.And bloody Bradford! We’ve got screwed over in the North West this season .. roll on Rochdale!
Most of their supporters have boycotted the games. The Oystons are now close to leaving. But the person they owe the money to is banned from running a club.Seems pretty simple to me. They have to pay something to get in and support their team but don’t want to give the owners anymore than they have to.
What’s wrong with that.
I just though it would be nice if you could debate opinion without being sarcastic or condescending.
I think we're wearing our white kit for the first time tonight...I'm going to stick to the simpleton approach of just going to watch 22 men kick a ball around and hoping the ones in blue score more
Sky blue and orange do clash I suppose..... don't Blackpool wear white shorts?I think we're wearing our white kit for the first time tonight...
Fuck it, I'm in. Just bought my ticket, decided to let future me worry about the trains. See you on Tuesday lads!
He is,as admin of the site he argues the toss about anything. I agree with the vast majority of posters who say they will buy a ticket to see their team,but not line the owners pockets further by buying anything in the ground.Who's 'banging on' about it?

It’s a small thing granted,but every little helps as they say.
He maintains his argument is that people are spouting moral reasons and making a big thing about it,when it is clear the only person making it an issue is him.
Nick,the majority of posters did not spout moral reasons. People were just trying to show support for the Blackpool fans.People do spout moral reasons. I could make out I'm doing or not doing loads of things today because of morals to either make myself or other people think I am doing it for the cause when in reality it isn't. It's nonsense.

They realise it’s a token contribution but as I said “ every little helps “
Can’t you just let some things go and keep your opinions to yourself, most of us do just to save arguing.
Can’t let it goSurely it is a moral reason if they are doing it to support Blackpool fans?
Like I said, I didn't go last night to support the Blackpool fans. We can all jump on it to seem like we are doing things for the cause.
