Pep is very informed and switched in to our demographic and rebellious culture....he’s a rebel for Catalonia.I actually agree with the boycott and I’m not going. But I just think the players and Pep will be disappointed in us as they never quite understand the reality for every day fans.
As evidenced by Pep saying things a few times over the years. After we got about 39,000 against Fulham in the FA Cup he said, ‘I don’t understand why the fans were not there, I hope more come to the semifinal against United on a Wednesday’.
It’s not particularly their fault why they don’t understand. They are in a different world to normal people and it wouldn’t even cross their minds that four cup games just after Christmas and New Year (Port Vale, Fulham and United at home and one away at United all in the month of January) would be difficult for a lot of people to afford so many will have chosen which ones to go to.
Just like they probably won’t understand the reasons behind why we won’t be there for this game.
I think he’ll be well aware of the stupidity and difficulties of the location,day and time !!
We’ve never sold out for a CS at Wembley but to make our protest effective and visible I hope fans take BLACK FLAGs to reinforce our feelings.
