be wary of boycott talk

[themodfather]

to repeat what i posted on another thread..word of mouth and individual action is one thing, for someone to organise a boycott or suggest it could face legal action.
the lsa were advised by the "FSF" OVER THIS....

for myself i never buy replica shirts and have ceased buying match progs and paying for "qpr world" ages back, i use alternate travel and used to pay on day at away games but as loyalty pts came to the fore...it's one of the few uses for the club i have.
ie my money or as much of it stays with me, after the previous hikes..whereas before i always got a match prog,offy badges etc....

Boycott could cause legal action? How?

[Ellerslie]

Surely if you can face legal action for suggesting boycotting the matches/ stadium then you can for boycotting any commercial enterprise by the club.

[Macca69]

but loads of our fans have been boycotting matches for years

Not sure exactly how, but it was made clear at the LSA meeting by John Reid that there are precedents for this, so be wary!

ok, a certain fanzine spent a year in actions with a certain club....

i am not a lawyer but i assume it's to do with damaging someone's business if you organise it, WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL DECIDES TO DO, is there concern..there's actions over tweeter ongoing and do you want to be a test case or something??

sheff weds a few yrs back took 1 man to court over his posts on an owls mb, he disagreed with the owner at the time..anyway the club then contacted his employer ( i don't know how they knew but) to suggest he uses work time for leisure!! this was in media , outcome? i can't recall to be honest.

if the actual wording of caution becomes known to me, i will post it.

What a way for a club to treat one of its fans, by taking him to court

impossible to take action, the only thinkg thy can do is prevent you getting tickets but that would jut be mean spirited

[Scarlet pimple]
