Why are City fans arsed about a bit a playground name calling?
Are we so thin skinned that we would attend a 5.30 kick off, on a Sunday, 200 miles away just so no one calls us silly names !

Yeah and to be honest the playground name calling will happen regardless

Exactly

Twitter is full of fucking idiots who talk absolute shite about us daily on any and all subject, filling out an end for. friendly on a sunday isn't gonna change that or in any way make it more likely we will be slagged off.

Go, don't go everyones choice, but if any part of the reason for going is so people don't take the piss then you are pandering to drivel spewing morons who don't matter

A lot of people will still buy tickets and that’s fine, it’s their personal choice. But if City gets an allocation of (say) 30,000 tickets and has to return 25,000 it will be hugely embarrassing for the Club and the FA.

This game should be played on Saturday at 3pm, just like the FA Cup should be, and the FA needs to stop pandering, or selling out, to the TV companies.

The EFL Cup final and final day of the Premier League season should both also be on a Saturday at 15.00.

The Supporters Club needs to get behind this (apologies if they already have) and refuse to distribute tickets to branches

Kevin Parker and his OSC‘s, sorry the OSC’s, aren’t supporting the boycott. No surprise really.

Unless individual branches decide to support the boycott, if they are allowed to do that under OSC rules?

That will become apparent at the 1st meetings of the season when match tickets and coach places are made available.

Early days yet. Plenty will donate leading up to the game. Including me when I do it later on.

They've said they will absolutely support any individual who decides to boycott but that they have taken the position that it's up to the individual. Judging by the mixed views, I can't see what other position they could realistically take.

That would have been case any way.

As the official supporters association they have decided not to back the boycott. Which is is fair enough. That’s what they’ve chosen to do. They could have backed the boycott and also said it’s up to OSC branches and their individuals to make their own minds up.

Just out of interest. Not fishing. Just genuinely interested. How are decisions like this made within the OSC? Are the branch secretaries consulted, is a decision made by an OSC committee, or another way, if anyone knows? I take it the club doesn’t have any input or say into these kind of decisions?
 
It changed a few years ago when teams won a double from cup runners up to league runners up. No idea why though.

Has it always? I thought I remember it changing a while back fromcup runners up. Did I imagine that ?

Back in the day it was all fairly arbitrary who played in it. Teams refused due to other commitments, teams were then invited to replace them. City won it in the 70’s and also lost to division 2 champions Burnley the year after. I think it was formalised in the 90’s and FA Cup v PL champions was agreed, with runners up in PL if a double was done.

If all city fans who go to games puts a fiver in this it will raise £275,000, with gift aid £340,000. And if the news channels don’t cover it, we will have confirmation of their agenda against us…no hiding anymore. Would much rather do this than travel to that shit hole at 5:30 on a Sunday
