I fear that the only thing that may facilitate change

superspynyg : 10/13/2017 10:52 am
is to stop going to games or to leave early.

I remember Fassle's last season when we went 4-12 for the 4th overall pick. A lot of fans stopped going to the games or would leave very early.

That is when Mara the Great made a statement that this was telling and indicated that changes were coming.

I feel that only this will force Mara the young to make a change at either GM (please, please, please) or HC.

If Mara does fire Reese, I feel that McAdoo will have one year before he is out. New GM's always want to bring in their own HC (unless the current HC is Belichek).

Also if we are looking at a qb. Ownership should know that the new GM will want to evaluate and make that pick himself rather then let the old GM do it.

What other avenue does the fan have?

Booing? Yeah, right. As long as you're lining their pockets they'll let you boo until the cows come home.

Hit them in the wallet and they'll understand. Wellington said that even though the tickets had been paid for the people that don't show up aren't buying concessions or paying for parking. They're not buying jerseys or other items at the stadium.
I suspect

20 degrees in Dec will help with this process.
Sure. Sit in traffic... $20 parking, $120 game ticket...

...and we're gonna walk out?

Just don't watch when they suck. Ratings matter, more than anything else.

I've been a proud fair weather fan since around the time my second son was born - Sundays are too valuable to waste on yelling at the TV.
Yeah, the weather's still good and the wheels hadn't come off

yet, give it another month and then take a look at how full the stadium will be.
remember 2003?

soon be drawing more people than Giants games.

That Cowboys-Giants game in December will probably be 70% Dallas fans.
I plan on recording the rest of the games this season

The day I received my PSL Ponzi Scheme letter from Johnny Boy asking me to pony up nearly $40gs for my seats. My wife said I think your insane to fall for that rip off. You love to play golf take that money and join a private country club. So I did and it was one of the best pieces of advice I ever received from anyone.

Never question the wisdom of the Mrs.

I remember when I got a call off the season ticket waiting list for the 2nd tier. I think the PSL was $2000/seat. I said I couldn't afford it and inquired about the upper tier, which was, of course, all taken by existing season ticket holders. A few days later, the same guy called me for seats in the lower tier in a corner for about $4000/seat PSL. I asked him if I couldn't afford cheaper seats earlier in the week, what makes you think I can do these? His response was they were better seats. So, I waited 20 years for nothing. And the 2 times I've been to MetLife I did not enjoy the game experience nearly as much.
3 out of the last 4 games are at home.  
JohnB : 10/13/2017 12:05 pm : link
There will be a lot of empty seats for those even with them being NFC East games.

Empty seats will say a lot to Mara.
The tv contracts are signed and paid for

The luxury boxes are sold, psl money collected and season ticket money too. So they may lose out on concession money. They have the fans by the balls.

Fans will most likely dump their tickets into ticket exchange and stub hub at below market prices because no one wants to pay to see this shit

It's only going to get worse and if ownership doesn't see it then the franchise is in trouble

They're the ones I feel the worst for. Pay for PSL's and season tickets with their hard earned cash for this garbage, while Mr. Smug Reese is sitting up in his luxury box!
giants fans get out and enjoy other areas of your life

life too short to waste on 2017 ny giants.
Absolutely nothing wrong with being a fair weather fan  
Overseer : 10/13/2017 12:21 pm : link
who has the time to follow 4 or 5 sports hardcore....? I'm certainly fairweather Mets & Devils these days.

Just don't pretend, once your team is invariably good again, that you're hardcore and were there through thick & thin. That makes you a phony.

Personally I will never not watch every minute of every Giants game. Which made 2007 & 11 that much more sweet.

I didn't get a call. I got an email. For the ultra low price of $20,000 per seat, I could get the right to buy season tickets!
