Liverpool have some very good things in place for ticketing off the back of their fans complaining to their club.

All U16s PL tickets in every stand in Anfield are just £9.

10,000 tickets over a full season for PL games are on offer to be applied for by fans with an ‘L’ postcode for just £9 per game for adults. It’s called the Local General Sale Tickets scheme.

I think they’re both excellent initiatives and when compared to City and seeing how much U16s pay (creeping over £40 for some of the bigger games now) and we have nothing in place for local fans, in fact it feels like tourists are favoured.

It’s 1894, not 1884.

And how you can justify telling fellow Blues (assuming you are a Blue?) to “fuck off” and label them “pricks” is beyond me.

You don’t even know what year City were formed.

If you don’t understand why fans have a problem with this fixture day+time, that’s on you, not on the ‘pricks’ who do understand.

I’m someone who likes the Community Shield and think it’s a good trophy to win and think people across football who call this a meaningless friendly are a bit odd. But I’m right behind this boycott because it’s time we stood up for ourselves as fans and stop being taken for mugs.

For me, the Community Shield and FA Cup semis should not be played at venues that are roughly half-way between where both clubs are from. And the Community Shield, EFL Cup final and last game of the Premier League season should all be played at 15.00 on a Saturday. And we as fans need to make more of all of them being scheduled on Sundays and venues at kick off times that suit one set of fans miles more than the other.

Loads of Blues had to dart off before the penalty shoot-outs against Chelsea in the 2019 EFL Cup final and 2019 Community Shield in order to catch their train back to Manchester. They didn’t want to miss it, but had to. But you think people having a problem with this sort of thing are ‘pricks’ and need to ‘fuck off’?

Thanks for pointing these facts out, I ignorantly had no idea about these. Fair play to LFC on this one, City should do similar but doubt they ever will. The daytrippers are the ones who spend the cash in the club shop.

Don’t forget though that they only have 25k season ticket holders so they can fleece tourists for one off games.

What do we think will be achieved by boycotting this game? The Fa, premiere league and TV companies will all suddenly realise that we have had enough and change their ways? It's an empty gesture that will have zero impact.
I get the need to save money, I understand and agree that we need to be heard and taken into account, but this will do fuck all. Lets not pretend this is a grand gesture, when in truth a lot wouldn't have bothered anyway.

The 5k raised on the just giving page shows it’s far from an empty gesture.
 
Very interesting to note that an inadequate, under facilitised, run down ground just out side Manchester, was deemed acceptable and appropriate for an FA international game last night.

Call me old fashioned if you like but this stinks of ‘you scratch my balls & I’ll scratch yours,Mr Gill’

Arse fans....11 miles....1 hour max return journey.
City fans....400 miles....8 hours min return journey.

City are the Champions
Arse are invited as losers.

Who in a fair and reasonable world could deem this to be an appropriate decision.

Boycott,publicise and donate to CITC food bank !!
