These prices are off a normally reliable Twitter account. Can’t argue with that. ( if they’re correct )

Looking forward to the game on TV, leave the match going to those London based Blues as I’m sure we can fill our end from the local population now.
 
I never go to the community shield. If you win great as is winning any game, if you lose so what.

Pep never has his team fit and ready and will be even more so the case this year, given our late finish to last season

I expect the team will be a mixture of some experienced, youth and fringe players.

Arsenal are already back in pre season, like Liverpool always are. I expect Arsenal to win and get giddy just like Liverpool last seasona

correct

it also doesnt reflect on the season coming up.

i do think we start a season slow and dont do a lot in the way of warm up to the new season.

i bet both managers dont really want the game, in particular pep.

I really hope any City fan gives serious consideration before attending this game. Nobody is asking anyone not to see the game as it's live on TV. You'll also save yourself a vast amount of cash and time, not to mention the positive environmental impact of not travelling. More importantly however is the message our non attendance sends to those who continue to line their pockets at fans expense, that enough is enough! And finally, your ticket money, if you choose to donate it, will help feed the less fortunate of Manchester, not the fat cats of the F.A.

Well, after much serious consideration mate I've decided to make yet another visit to Wembley. I could have watched it on TV, I could save myself 8 hours driving & all that goes with it, cost, environmental damage etc, but I could say that about nearly every game City play. Most of the people boycotting this game would not be going anyway but I understand the feelings behind it, it's just my love for City is to deep, I need them & they need me. C'mon City

But you can argue as to why the LC & FA Cup tickets are not the same price.

You can argue about anything you like. But when Premier League tickets ( barring away fans ) are probably on average, what £60? £70. You’ll struggle to make a reasonable argument that tickets for Cup finals should be starting at a score.
 
Gate receipts are a very small % of most match income.

ALL PL,CL,FAC & LC ticket prices should be reduced and held for the foreseeable future,match going fans are being fleeced on admission,F&B,programmes,travel, in fact everything !!

We fans are utterly hopeless at taking/making a stand about these ludicrous,profiteering and unnecessary costs.

The National Supporters Association (or whoever they are) should be raising hell through a nationwide media campaign on behalf of all supporters.

Likewise 1894 & OSC should be doing the same at City,a decade + of ticket price increases is shameful.

Take the lead City and take the high ground....it’s not too late !!

There’s an opportunity for fans to take a stand right now.

Fans can flex muscles. Club can listen. Has to be collectively though. You have to start somewhere.

People on this website were talking walkouts when prices went up. All talk and no action.

Club know they can divide and conquer. They don’t “need us” but if they want ys they can absolutely lean on the FA and get the time moved

The Football Supporters Association (FSA)

Don't expect the OSC to rock the boat anytime soon though

Sounds like a line out of blues brothers
 
Regardless of whether people are attending or not, it is a bit odd that City have not announced any sales criteria. Arsenal are selling their tickets from tomorrow.
 
The FA and the PL really don’t give a shit about the fans and tradition.

The FA Cup replays could be scrapped, the early rounds moved to midweeks and the final staged on an ordinary Premier League weekend from the 2024-25 season in the biggest shake-up in the competition’s 152-year history.

Mail Sport has been told the terms of an extraordinary deal which would see the Premier League sell overseas TV rights for the FA Cup for ten years from the 2024-25 season, giving the top-flight clubs control of the entire domestic calendar.

The FA insist that the tender process for overseas rights remains ongoing, but it is understood chief executive Mark Bullingham is minded to accept the Premier League's offer and their terms, which include:

  • The abolition of FA Cup replays.
  • The prospect of early rounds of the competition being played midweek.
  • The end of a stand-alone weekend for the FA Cup final at the end of the season, with the showpiece occasion being brought forward to clash with a regular weekend of Premier League fixtures every year.
  • The FA Cup final will likely be held on the penultimate Saturday of the season, with a full Premier League schedule taking place on the Sunday
  • A 10-year deal to sell foreign TV rights for all overseas markets, and the possibility of subsequently selling the domestic rights, which are currently held by BBC and ITV.
  • An increased offer payment from the Premier League to the FA to fund grassroots football.

How can you play the final on the same weekend as premier league games if you get to the final, rescheduled games already go midweek for PL if you’ve made quarter and semis! Absolute showers of shit, all for tv and fans abroad nothing to do with the local supporters.

Unlimited replays were not good for the fans or players, and not possible after the police brought in the 10 day rule. The final would end up in August.

Champions league final 2 days after an FA cup replay, and then another replay on the Tuesday wouldn't have been good anyway,
