Match going fans deserve everything they get, they really do.

Authorities say jump, they say how high. Once again they are laughing their tits off at us and will continue to do what they want.

I would bet that a high number of city fans going to this live closer to Wembley than to the Etihad and won't feel inconvenienced by either the venue or the time.
 
Well I for one am shocked
Could be a load of tourists
Could be a load of honest blues that struggle for a ticket normally

Either way makes you realise how quickly someone else would rip your season ticket away if you gave it a chance. Ferran can take my extra £25 a year as I have no other choice it seems

They would regardless of this. And City know there are 1000s waiting behind the "legacy" fans just waiting for us to pack it in.

First line is overly harsh IMO. But you do have a point - match-going fans (of which I'm one) do allow themselves to be bent over and shafted all too often by the powers-that-be. Hopefully this is the start of a wider push back against shit kick-off times in general

If Arsenal’s supposed banner was anything to go by then I don’t think there will be much of a wider pushback. Rather than back City fans over an issue that affects all supporters they saw it as an opportunity for a cheap dig.

Sometimes I agree with the original statement, football supporters do deserve what they get.

To be fair, some Arsenal websites showed empathy with the boycott. I'm also led to believe that the odd Arsenal fan donated to the foodbanks as well. It's just that there will also always be opposition fans taking the piss too.

You didn’t need to take him up on it, he said unequivocally he would make a £100 donation to Charity and didn’t want the reciprocal “bet” if we didn’t. So, nominate your Charity, let’s see if he fucks off from here, guessing he will re-register with a different user name. Perhaps, Not a Cat as Baldrick once said.

I’m sure Cat Man would appreciate The Cats Protection League

It’s the cheapest game of football you’ll get to see this season. At what’s been a standard kick off time for over 30 years. If you’ve made this comment on the back of a game charging €599 I’d understand the annoyance. You’d pay more to watch Bolton in Division 3 this year.
 
I hope the SCAT Man sticks around for next season's Seat Counting thread. :-)

 
I get the point that people want to boycott due to the timings and faff, I just wonder if those same people are boycotting the midweek Super Cup game which is very much more of a faff?
 
And herein lies the problem. If fans want to boycott and try to change the current problems match going fans face then there will be new fans ready and willing to step into the seats left.

The tv companies and the football clubs know this. Nothing will change, fans will continue to be treated like customers and kick off times will keep getting more and more ridiculous.

non league football for me next season. Now we have won the lot I almost feel like that chapter going to city games is done.
