Community Shield - Arsenal (N) | Sun 6th Aug - 16:00

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Absolutely not. Stick at it imo.

Agree. And for all the wet Lettuces out there. Look how easy it is to make them change their minds.

We want Saturday and 3pm kick off. We will get it.

I’d go even earlier mate, takes an age getting out of their coach park.

Edit - and that’s if it absolutely has to be Wembley (which it shouldn’t)

surely they wouldn't move it again?

but yeah your point still stands, the fa are nothing more than a few spineless bastards.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

You can still fuck off stick it up your arse

 

[Tbilisi]

I will not boycott now, theres no way they will move it earlier.

The team deserve our support.

No we won't. The Championship starts that day / time

[Norbert D]

Fair play to those fans who made a fuss about this. A small victory for the fans isn’t to be sniffed at. Freedom for Tooting !

 

[M18CTID]

Who said fan activism doesn't work?

 

[CatMan]

Looks like they cracked pretty quickly. Is this enough?

No!

Never accept a 1st offer! Boycott stays put.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

They are determined not to have the KO at a suitable time. What the f..k is wrong with 3pm. We have had 3pm KOs since before I can remember and I am a FOC.

I said it wouldn't in this instance, I stand corrected. We all going now? :-)

No. We keep pushing.

 

[FootballSense]

Let’s act like a club that’s just won the Champions League, shall we

That`s exactly what we are doing. Treble Winners. Champions League winners.

We are not going cap in hand, grateful for the scraps, getting into the Europa Cup or whatever through fair play.
We are 3 times on the trot Premier League winners, 5 times in 6 years, two Doubles in 5 years, a Quardrupple, a Treble.

We are not at the behest of bureaucrats at the FA who look after themselves, care only for their shorter travel arrangements,lower costs and own convenience.

They should all come up North.

They have already just caved in on the ko time. That`s what fan power can do.

Next we should demand it is played at The Etihad or if push comes to shove, 16:00 on Sunday 6 August at the swamp where we can run round before the match with all our trophies from all our teams.

As do we, regular league fixtures. But this is a minor cup and it has to be fit into the schedule.

But it shouldn't be on a sunday at 5.30 or 4pm or even 3pm.

Saturday 3pm/5.30pm is doable.

Or have the teams play at a neutral venue

They do, but supporters individual circumstances come first.

True but any concession wasn't thought possible and 4pm although still shit is sufficient time to avoid a hotel for most fans as long as the trains are fucking running.
