Option 2 Everyone stays to the end but turns their backs to the pitch at the final whistle until the players are off the pitch, give it one big round of "come on you blues" then leave
Did Blackpool cease to be? Did Charlton? Coventry?
The only clubs that go out of business are when they have owners who simply cannot fund them. Evans can and does fund us.
If he decided to just walk away, I assume legally he would still be responsible for paying up the players wages, staff wages, running costs etc. He's hardly going to be made bankrupt and the club ceases to be.
He will either stay and fund it or write off the debts and try and get £5m or £10m from it on the basis he gets a % of revenue if we get back up the divisions.
Bury went out of business because their owner could not pay. Evans empire is worth £800m and he wouldn't have to pay the debt to himself. He'd be on the hook for about £6m, which he'd legally have to pay as the owner.
Worst case is players all end up leaving and we end up with a League Two squad, being covered by the natural revenue of the club.
Evans can't and won't just turn off the lights. Look at how much the FA and EFL initially tried to help the likes of Bury. Evan if the guy wanted to commit business suicide by destroying his reputation he wouldn't be allowed to deliberately destroy the club.
People need to get a grip of reality. This is like Brexit again. People being scared into action or inaction through fiction.
So we should all be lovely to the bloke who is destroying our club through poor management in case he takes his ball away?
I suppose another option is to turn up to the game as always, have a few beers with your mates, support the team and cheer them on all through the game, at the end celebrate if we have won and if not then applaud them afterwards for trying their best. At all times trying not to abuse anyone connected to the club we all love.

In Spain the crowd wave white hankies to show displeasure at a bad performance ...a visual impact...
What about people who throw shoes in displeasure?
How does that work?
Do they have a nightmare afterwards sifting through them all trying to find their own? That can't be fun. Or do they accept their loss and hobble home in just one?
Do they take a spare with them to throw, just in case?
Do these people deliberately buy some cheap shoes to keep by for those occasions?

Yes. Another example of the wise Ipswich supporter base calling for steps that damage the club. Hounding out MM for playing a style of football that kept us as mid table Championship side was amongst their crowning glories.
Forcing the owner to abandon funding so that the club goes into administration and may be relegated again would also be up there.
Why would he abandon the club and let it go into admin rather than just you know, sell it?
The bigger problem would be who he sells it to
Highlighting crass stupidity since sometime around 2010
Option 3 - and the one that tens of thousands of Town fans have been advocating for some time. .... Don't go.
If the ground was completely empty for just a few weeks Evans would be gone.
I like your tactics. Evans only really cares about his bottom line and hurting this will likely send a bigger message than fans holding banners or singing anti-Evans chants.
However, I disagree about the time frame. It would take much longer than a ''few weeks'' for Evans to be gone. As exemplified by the Oystons at Blackpool and Ken Anderson at Bolton, football owners can become incredibly stubborn. A concerted effort by a united fan base to get Evans out this way could take 2, maybe 3, seasons to work. Given Town are destined for at least another season in League One, now seems the perfect time to boycott home games. It's not like your missing out on anything by not going.
