if he knows that he can full the stadium for $300 then why should he sell for $200??

isnt that the unfortunate nature of business?

supply and demand.

unfortunately the only people that would lose in a boycott is the players...come on- do you really want to demoralize them when they need it the most?
if you can afford the price, that is...

a victory at Honduras and this could be the most important match of the round for us.

A victory at Honduras and we would still be a point adrift at best from the 4th place. Playing CR at CR, and playing a Mexican team that is playing like the best team in Concacaf is too much to depend on - last thing we need is to be put in a situation like '89 and '05.

Will have to Boycott Zen, 51, Prive and band launchings instead.

        You all still feel JW depends on how much people attend a game to survive,i have been hearing this BOYCOTT talk for years,even peeps on here wanted to wear black shirts to support the blacklisted players,these things just don't work in our country,the instigators are usually the first ones to back out.

Around the time of the England game last year the idea of a boycott was not entertained because Jackula/TTFF will make money anyway via TV rights....so I understand fully your point, but apparently the mafia have it set up so that either way Jackula/TTFF will make money, even if you stay home and especially if you watch it on TV....

aaaahhhh yeeeesss....when I grow up I want to be like Jackula.... ::)

it would be nice to hear an official reason for the increase in ticket prices, but I'm not going to hold my breath in anticipation.

If $200/ $500 could not pack out the stadium, I fail to see how $300/ $500 will accomplish that. I don't any amount of waggonism could accomplish a sellout even if we win in Honduras.

4 YEARS ago the Panama games were scanty but at the crucial time against Guatemala, the place get rammed with waggonists. same thing will happen again, provided we win in Honduras. I have no doubt about that.

It is very difficult for JAW to prove who posted that comment under the alias Spideybuff, especially when taking into account public computers and level of security on a chat site.

Besides, I know he and the girl have nothing...cause I know how she really get the job :-)

How is it that the Jamaica middle class have no problem forking out US$75 to pay for a gran-stand ticket to see Ja play, but the Trini middle class cant afford a US$50 ticket for a similar game? How is it that the poor Jamaican farmer religiously comes up with the US$15 to go to the bleachers everytime Ja play, but the poor farmer from T&T is planning to boycot?

The fans lack passion for the sport. As a matter of fact, it seems the majority of the peeps who support football in T&T are from the middle class...in Jamaica its more a poor man's game.

I don't think is a question of not having the money. It's because we know the reasons behind the price change is not honourable and for the players. Because of our history with the Special Advisor, we are averse to filling his pockets even further for no real reason.

If we knew our hard earned money was going to the team and to the betterment of local football, it would be a different feeling as opposed to just contributing to the JAW fund. Is like a man robbing we without even pulling a gun...we just handing over the money.

That's why there is a problem with it. Because of the past history and reputation of the individual cause I pretty sure men have no problem paying $50 US to see the Soca Warriors in the USA or even $100+ in South Africa.

I do know that a whole cross section of the community does support football. The problem is the discontent with the whole TTFF. There a kinda of boycott of football. The fans go when they feel like going. No amount of promotion would drag them to the stadium. If this WC campaign had taken off on the right foot, the support would have been excellent. This campaign went "south" for the start of the blacklist. And the fans talked with their feet. Stay home. But RF, don't fool yourself. We are still passionate about the game. When things good the whole x-section society does support football. Even the waggonists.

Normally I does be more in Jack corner than most on these forums and I does get plenty stick for it..But this is complete nonsense..Jack realise the waggonist will come out for that game cos it will be a crucial one and decide to apply the law of economics ...
But what about men like me who going EVERY game and supporting the team right through?  Why we have to suffer and pay 300 ??? Why TTFF doh have no preferred supporters discount card or something ??
Nah I find this price increase is wickedness and I for one will be watching the game on tv. BOYCOTT.

Thanks very much Mackie for staying at home. I am hoping many more like yourself will follow your lead and leave football for people who could afford it. Todays footballers cant live on kfc support. For football to rise we must attract caviar supporters. Buy you box of KFC and enjoy the game on the tube. I hope you told weary about the LATEST PRICE INCREASE.
