Protest next Sunday or boycott?

Attempted to get a refund this morning, but was told it wasn't possible. I asked to escalate my request, and awaiting a call back from someone called Emma, but was told it probably wouldn't be today. Not holding my breath.

I've followed City home, away and Europe for 30 years, built up almost 26,000 loyalty points doing so, and had booked my ticked on the 1st day of sale. I was really looking forward to this after such an awful year, even with all the hoops we had to jump through, but this was absolutely the last straw for me.

As for the refusing a refund, that absolutely epitomises what the club has become. This spend represents a huge chunk of my monthly disposable income, and the refund amount would be peanuts to the club. Not just the money... they'd rather have an empty seat than give somebody else a chance to go. Disgraceful.

Must add... that to be fair, Victoria who took my call was polite and professional, and absolutely none of this is the fault of those at a lower level who are just doing their job... I guess they've had a truly awful year, and horrendous week too!

You might get some joy from the Bank of the card you used especially a credit card
 
I'm not sure if I should cancel my direct debit. They won't let me cancel until its up for renewal or some shite.
Was close to giving it up anyway due to finances but this and VAR have sealed it for me.
 
The pandemic was the perfect chance for clubs to trial football with no fans. They don't need fans in stadiums, we can be replaced, just as the broadcasters have done with their fake crowd noise.

In terms of a protest. If would have more impact if fans unfollowed these clubs on social media and unsubscribed to any subscription service, tv/website or streaming channel that will broadcast these games. They care more about followers and hits than loyal season ticket holders. And the amount of followers dictates how much they can get from sponsorship deals. Let's hit them in the pockets. Then they might take notice.

Yep, unfollowed City on each platform on yesterday. Doing it individually won't make much of a dint but if there was a collective approach it would make a difference
 
Protests by City fans may well be effective - I think our owners are sensitive to what other people think (the outrage being levelled at them will be hurting) and its not inconceivable that they'd back down. whereas the Rags and the Dippers owners couldn't give a shit - and certainly in Fenway Sports case they have a history of fucking people over.

I got one the other day, I looks like we can’t sell 2k tickets, I think we have lost a swathe of fans due to COVID fears, add super league to the pot and you soon end up with total apathy.
My worry going to Wembley would be more about being subjected to abuse or worse still violence as I’m expecting all cockneys to organise some kind of demo outside
To any blue compelled to attend this farce if a game.....take care...bit ironic I know..but watch your backs

I think this is one issue that has "united" fans (sorry, hate to use that word) more than any other issue so cant see violence against Blues on the day

Good man. I haven't done it yet, but I will do. Like you say, hoping others join and it could make an impact.
 
Anybody booked to travel by train or car - don’t protest don’t boycott just send your ticket back so I can have it and go and cheer on City in a cup final like any normal fan would
 
Some of the absolute sanctimonious, bordering on Liverpool mentality shite I've seen has been laughable. I've been seen a 'and the club do this just two days after the princes funeral'

I mean why?

I’d like to agree I posted another post somewhere last night pointing out these cockneys will be in the main Neanderthals as the day goes on they will be pissed by the time we leave the ground, I do not believe they will be rationalising as we can today sat sober at our keyboards “up north”

You don't think that's just a tad dramatic and a very piss poor excuse to hit out at the club? Wasn't you was it? ;-)

Ha no it wasn't me and the funeral is not a factor that entered into my head to be honest. I just wish I could shake off the misery and have a better week!! Any advice gratefully received :)
