In response to Vlad.
No I live in Spain, this in its self would not present a problem if i had the kind of cash required to fly home every weekend and get a season ticket but i dont. Yes im an OOT but im fucked if that makes me less of a fan than any other fucker.
The key word in my angry rant was "uninentionally", I'm not having a go at anybody in particular i'm just sure that we truly have to get rid of them bastards, the only real way that can happen is to let it be known how fucked off we are and you need to vote with your feet. When i lived at home, both in Liverpool and when not in Liverppol I was a regular match goer, home and away and I realise its importance for many fans, including myself, i didnt take a camera and i never wore a jester hat neither. Bollox i'm ranting again... ahh fuck it... they just give me the shits them fellas. I wasn't trying to blame the fans i'm just pointing out that we are NOT powerless to stop them and we can and we SHOULD do something about it not just sit about and take it. Whatever way you look at it they are fucking us over and we are paying for the privilege, or should I say YOU are Vlad because you are lucky enough to get to the games.
They are shady fucking bastards and will always always be looking to milk us. Simply put I just do not believe for a split second that they care about the club Vlad in any way at all, at least not in any way that either you or i would appreciate.
As for Gillet selling up the Canadiens, well so what! I have read too much and heard too much to believe for one second that that prick has anybody but himself at No.1 ... that same prick tried to sell up for a quick buck almost from the get go so lets not pretend that he is trying to do the right thing now. He sells up the Canadiens in order to be our knight in shining armour does he?? OK then Mr.Gillet use your money, ill gotten or otherwise, to pay off your share of the debt burden you placed against the club.... yeah right...
A fucking leech of a man just got a few more quid from another bunch of fans is how I read that story, and IMHO the only way we can rightfully get rid of them is to do the only useful protest we have ie to stop putting money in their wallets. I simply do not want them anywhere near the club. Stop me if i'm wrong but it's the only way to get rid of scum like that.
and yes i am pissed off.
but i do extend my regards also.

The point of my questioning your idea is that not everyone stands outside a gate clutching £30 in their hand waiting to get in. The vast majority of seats are taken by season ticket holders - paid for in advance so a boycott on a game would not actually hit them financially apart from a few thousand pork pies and bottles of lager.
Secondly it would probably damage the club more than the Americans supposedly are, and not just in financial terms.
