Because that's just it, the fan base will just sit back and let it happen, and moan on message boards and social media instead. Like a mountain lion suddenly jumping through your living room window, the fanbase boycotting the club is the only thing that will focus their minds. Mine started after Blackburn and will continue until he has gone.

Boycott away games, protest like mad at home
It really is that simple.
Opposition clubs will soon get the arse ache with QPR when their revenue drops and the board/Ainsworth will start to feel intimidated coming to home matches so will swiftly act.
As I said the other day, unless you live outside London and its easier to get to, there is no justification attending away matches at the moment and if you do you need to consider the fact that you are complicit in everything going wrong.

I emailed the club after the Blackburn game and the response was yesterday was a tough watch, I replied by saying it was not just yesterday. On saturday I emailed to say enough is enough and have not had a reply at all. Stay away and make your feelings know as they we soon get fed up of being driven mad week affer week. The manager especially does not deserve one iota of support from any one right now.

Not sure an away side is going give a toss about 1000 QPR fans tipping up once a season. If we’re shit they will be loving it especially sides at bottom as one less side compete with for relegation.

Arguably if the club are refusing to take the calls of journalists maybe something is brewing. It had seemed that the board were riding it out, or at least leaving him to carry the can for the Leicester tonking Think McCullough job at WLS has shifted this season to covering Scum, Fulham and Brentford games, he claims he’s not interviewed Ainsworth in months.

Those 1,000 fans will generate in ticket sales about £20k They will generate about £2.5k in programme sales They will generate about £6-10k in food/drink sales. If they don't have that coming through the coffers it's money that has to be found elsewhere. Sure, it's a drop in the ocean for some clubs but it pays for all non playing staff on matchday - with room to spare - or the cost of hosting the match in terms of utilities used, again with room to spare. If it's a ground where we normally bring a couple of thousand that's double that so up to £65k lost. Clubs won't be depressed about losing that sum once a season but it will get noted and it will piss clubs off.

Furthermore are you suggesting our board will say yeah ok lads he’s ruining our club which we’re fine with but fact he’s costing you 10k we will change him? No, although that would be rather helpful. What I'm saying is that clubs all speak to each other on regular basis and if clubs are losing £65k because we're boycotting away games you'll get additional pressure to change things. Will it work on its own? Of course not, but everything we can do to put pressure on the board should be done. You want a night out with your mates? Go and have a few beers together, you don't need to support this regime, manager or players and if you choose to do so you're part of the problem.

Only verbal abuse of the owners will wake them up to sack Dopey Ainsworth, losing money by fans boycotting games won’t imo.

The amount of away fans that QPR take is going to have zero impact on what the club do. The fact Hoos doesn't do the reciprocal pricing shows that.

No show at home games or mass walk outs during the game with constant verbals towards the board and coco the clown on the sideline may move the needle along where this fool is concerned.

Reading last three seasons have not had a penny to rub together, their stadium is half empty and still they would not give us extra tickets which would have created more revenue

Every penny we spend at an away game goes to the home club but so does every penny spent having us there. They can't afford to increase an away allocation. What we spend at an away match does affect the bank balance of clubs and although we won't get club chairman crying on the phone begging us to sack Ainsworth it will make the news and it will cause small talk around the Championship causing additional pressure on the board.

Home games need to be toxic and neither the board or Ainsworth should be looking forward to attending.

I don’t dispute away fans increase home teams revenue but it won’t make a jot of difference to what an opposition side decides with there manager or any other internal runnings of there club.

If I were paying good money for admission I would never contemplate walking out, I would have to vent my frustrations at the game.

The question is simple. Are the fans happy with the current manager and general state of things? If you are then no conversation to be had, If you are not then you work out your way to express your feelings. Me personally I will not go until he has gone and will continue to drive them mad during and after every game. Others will do it their way but to just accept this shit shows how far the standards have dropped and how easily Hoos and the board can convince you how bleak things are.

We need to make it happen. Also, we need to confront those clapping after heavy Home defeats.

Me the ST money is sod all compared how shit I feel going to watch that garbage.

Similarly the Six who won’t change their vote on here, it’s possible to guess who they could be as they haven’t been shy in speaking up for Ainsworth, they have my respect for at least voicing that opinion. Plenty decided to sit on the fence and say next to nothing until now.

Not being funny mate but if I were one of those clapping and someone confronted me for it it'd end up in a fight lol. Not worth the hassle imo, just leave them to it.

Those who clap are usually the ones who condem all booing claiming that it can only have a detrimental effect on the team. I'd like them to justify the support they're showing Ainsworth and for them to question what that support achieves.

Shouldn't be fighting or arguing amongst ourselves.
