Don't boycott your brain!

You won’t believe it, Servette FC supporters are boycotting this year’s season pass campaign. And not any supporters, we are talking long time season pass holders for 20-30 years. Disaster? Not really, only about 15-20 people are following the action. You know why they are boycotting? Well each one of them has a different reason. I’m not shitting you, this is a true story.   

When boycotting something, knowing why you do it, is a good start. Knowing what you want to achieve with your action is even better. I noticed a very interesting conversation on the club forum the other day where some boycotters were politely asked by a supporter to explain themselves on their actual demands. He clearly asked them, what they expected from the club to change their minds and go back to buying season tickets. Despite being asked several times, none of the boycotters tried or could answer. They actually don’t know what they want!  

There are reasons to be unhappy with how things are going. Reasons to go as far as boycotting the season pass? Certainly not. On top of that, the chances of getting a reaction from the club when you are only 20 people following the action and all for different reasons are very questionable. But that’s not the best part of the whole story. These people continue to go to the stadium and buy a single entry ticket for every game. 

Let’s check the pros and cons of this action.

Cons:

- The club doesn’t give a shit about 20 people being unhappy

-          - When buying a single ticket you give more money to the club than buying a season pass, so you actually support the club even more.

-          - You waste time queuing to get your ticket.

-          - You don’t even know what you want from the club to change your mind

Pros:

-          -   ….. 

   Good work boys. You should look into boycotting plain stupidity for a start.
