People think that by not going to home games, the board will look at it negatively because it will cost them, yet most of the people who boycott the games are season ticket holders who have already paid their money, if there is more spare pay on the door tickets then all the prawn sandwich brigade will just buy them, and with an apparent 50,000 People on the waiting lists for season tickets, it won't hurt them at all. Silent Stan has spent his life watching his teams become/stay sh!t and not cared as long as the miney comes in. Arsenal at the moment need something akin to the green and yellow scarfs United had a few years ago - not banners that say "Wenger out" we need to stay classy, or at least try to be.

For marketing purposes it's a disaster. Also, that's less people buying food or drink on match day

Bang on. Silent Stan and his cronies will very soon notice when their wallets start to get lighter. The markup on grub and drinks at football stadiums is enormous - even if the tickets are already paid for, the extras aren't.
I haven't been to a league game yet - been to a couple of Emirates Cup games but either been way too busy or had something better to do with the money (buying a house, getting married, etc.) and the way things are going I'm not parting with it to sit in a place with lots of other people and be depressed. If I want to do that, I can do it cheaper by finding a dank pit of a dive bar and slinging back whisky all night.

Look at City's empty seats. Shocking from a team that good that they still can't fill out their stadium.
Arsenal have always filled out their stadium even in bad periods, but this is the first time that there are empty seats on a regular basis.

Beautiful, isn't it? Silence speaks volumes, and hopefully the board will listen.

Sorry OP but that is nonsense. Perception is everything in football these days, if we’re playing with a half full stadium, broadcast across the planet, the club will be absolutely dismayed. Not to mention the lost revenue from drinks/programmes/food/scarves etc
The only way we can pressure for a change of the manger is by not going. AFTV & it’s resident muppets still don’t get that though, which is why the bitching is tedious AF.

This is depressingly correct - that piece of sh!t "Silent Stan" is pretty open about it - he realised long ago that you could make good money from exploiting sporting tribal loyalty because most sports fans will still support their team and pay the money even if the results are mediocre - so he doesn't have to spend much to get pretty much the same financial results as a successful club.
All scuummy "Silent Stan's" teams perform poorly - and now he has realised that Arsenal supporters are far more loyal than most American supporters he is going to be extremely hard to get rid of. Arsenal is the flagship of his sh!tty under performing sporting empire

The board have taken the fans for a ride for more than a decade now with high ticket prices. Can only think of Liverpool and utd who could still fill 85-90% of their seats if they were Arsenal

Let's face it £75-95 to watch Iwobi give the ball away for 90 minutes is not going to get anyone's juices flowing.
I refused to renew my Red membership this year and so have not been to one game and will not until Wenger leaves.
I still believe that an organised protest so that fans either boycott a game or come in 10 minutes after the match has started, would send a strong message.Something needs to be done.

indeed
another thing u can do but wud b difficult is to at HT, blockade the tunnel an not allow the players to get off field until they hand over their jerseys as sign they r not worthy to ware them
Genoa fans did that acouple yrs ago and it worked, the team played better n avoid regelation.
