I agree seperate fact from fiction. If however, less than a $1000 US a man for WC appearance is a fact then we need to mobilize and boycott. Not only local base but all foreign base who already have ticket for GC.
My personal opinion that has nothing to do with what the BOD is doing or thinking is as follows:
We have NO power as suuporters.
That is not because the TTFF steal it, like they thief the players money, but because we as a people do not really love football. It is not we thing.
The TTFF will do what they want because they do not depend on the fans for income or support. If they did they would be dead a long time ago.
Remember that for all the grousing about Ticket or Leave It it was Lasana along with the Englishman's links that changed that situation not the "die hard faithful". The general public was just grinning and bearing it before that, even though the few on this board were rightfully indignant.
If the hundred people who planning to go to the Gold Cup from this board decide to boycott it will mean nothing. It is literally pissing in the wind.
On the local scene it is no different. A few die hards and the rest there for lime or casual entertainment. When you go to a game it is 20 board memebrs coming together at most. WHy would the TTFF recognize that group.
Now what the WN may be trying to do is BUILD a supporters group, from scratch, that will one day have power as the recognized supporters group.
It is not there yet, not even close, why because most people were interested in getting tickets for Germany and couldn't be bothered with the WN after that.
Building that group invloves diplomacy in working with the TTFF, as silly as that sounds, so waiting for more information to make a professional response with the best interests of TnT football may not be a bad course of action.
