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

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.

On the plus side, looking forward to getting 4 tickets for United away next season.

Am surprised - but not THAt surprised. I suspect a lot of fans around the London area have got tickets.
I got some for people I know who are in London in that weekend.
For the people who can't get to many matches, it is a good opportunity.

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
