Canton Mike Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Regardless what the REAL story may be regarding Garoppolo and McCarron, regardless whether you wanted either or not, these moves/non moves result in Browns' Fans being blind sided once again. Perception among most Fans, media, other NFL teams, & the league itself is that this is the most inept, dysfunctional, & laughable franchise in the league. Our next home game is 11/19/17. Unless something drastic (starting with the naming of a REAL Team President) takes place before, my current plan is to drive to Cleveland, tailgate, walk to the stadium, & remain outside. I want my seats to be EMPTY, therefore I will neither sell nor give them away. Imagine the message sent if a huge number of Fans did the same. Jimmy, Dee, and their lackeys could look out & see more Browns' Fans in the streets & parking lots than in the seats. "Sow & ye shall reap". Am I pissed?..................Damn right I am!

Mike Seats already sold don't matter to these guys....except of course for the fact that these customers will not be buying vastly overpriced beer. (FYI...I have never bought a beer at the stadium at the few games I have gone to over the last couple of decades...refuse to pay those prices). The one thing that might get the owner's attention is a massive NON-Renewal of Season Tickets for next year. I know a number of you are season ticket holders. (I am not). Would you consider not renewing your seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfooldoug Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I have read enough reports to believe it. Baylee, daughter of Hue was on social media spouting that you can't land a player if you're not on the phones. That in itself will probably be the KOD for somebody. Not to mention the rest of the football world using words like incompetent to describe our FO...and of course reports about the HC and FO not being on the same page. JFC, same page?

Would you consider not renewing your seats? I am considering it, haven't made the decision yet. The money is usually due before the draft, which obviously pains the hell out of me. Not that many remember, but I've been very pissed off about trading down, trading picks in general. So I give them my money, they trade away my faith. I think it's 3 straight drafts, maybe 4 that they have traded in the first round. I love my seats, first row of the upper deck.Chances are I could give them up, see how things transpire, and get back in, but I'm not sure I want to do that. Stupid love of the team and tailgating seems to be the main reason of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing that might get the owner's attention is a massive NON-Renewal of Season Tickets for next year. I know a number of you are season ticket holders. (I am not). Would you consider not renewing your seats? Considered, yes- but not seriously. I've posted this on the board a bunch of times. Go look it up on StubHub, Section 111, row 9. Issue is, I've held those seats since the Browns came back in 1999, I got in on my pal's seniority which was 17 more years on top of that. And If I ever dumped them, it would probably cost me at least $20,000 to buy back into that section in the unlikely event the Browns ever started playing respectable. I've jokingly said you're more married to your seats than your wife. Welcome to empty stadium-ville Jimmy. You can get tickets to the Jags game starting at $10, (with plenty of opportunity to move down.) We just dumped our remaining games for 40 cents on the dollar.
