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

Boycott is the way to go.

It's borderline disgraceful to host the game there anyway, let alone on a Sunday at 5.30pm.

In a country where the public transport is so bad, the motorways often rammed and with a cost of living crisis, it's ridiculous to ask fans to travel to London for a friendly.

It's fine for Arsenal fans, it's a twenty minute tube ride.

It should be Villa Park and a 3 o’clock kick off.

I would support a boycot yes. These are the stakeholders priorities as I see it.

PL demands
UEFA demands
TV demands
Police requirements
Clubs wishes
Players wishes


Fans are just not on that list. I am FED UP of being treated like brainless cattle just because we're "The public" as if thats always a dangerous thing. I see it across the board, from roadworks to how the police or NHS treat us. Anyway I am going on a tangent there.

Yes we should protest, let them know that WE are the biggest stakeholder in all this, without us they have fuck all.

The players just saw 200k fans turn up in a storm for their parade

If theyre aware there is a reason fans wont be there in numbers they will more than understand

The Super Cup is the week after. Which is more important?

Our fanbase needs to get behind the Super Cup instead. That’ll be a great trip.

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Can we not put on a fleet of buses, make fans queue for hours, do not put on any toilet facilities, no stops, no water, oh and turn the heating up to full blast. We’d get 20,000 of us signing up to that.

Maybe better to push for the kick off time to be earlier

 

[Big gay Al]

This is a great opportunity to stick two fingers up to the FA....as much as we all love this Club and follow them all over, I will not be going.The Day and time is an absolute piss-take.If you can't see that this is an example of not giving a shit about the Football fan well, try and have a good day out.

 

[cheekybids]

It seems a deliberate ploy to move this overseas & then blaming fans for not turning up.

Fuck the whole affair.

The FA switched it to Leicester last year when it suited THEIR needs.

Why not switch it this year to suit OUR needs

Arse fans 40 minutes return journey.

City fans 8 hours return journey getting home at 11-30 on a Sunday

Fuck em, BOYCOTT !!

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Do not go by all means but why bring in a stupid boycott in.

Stupid is as stupid says, you clearly have no concept of why a boycott is being planned.

BOYCOTT !!
