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

Are you saying the Joan Gamper wasn’t special?

more special than the community shield, but not as magic as the shamrock cup

It’s dead simple. play it at Villa! 20k each. Perfect.

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

Sorry don’t get this. This only hurts the players.

Come on, really? City have played in empty stadiums and away games with a tiny away allocation. It doesn’t hurt them at all.

This isn't a serious trophy, it is a pre season trinket people mainly never care about losing out on

no more special than winning the Joan Gamper

I consider this a serious trophy (and it’s a damn site bigger than the Juan Gamper), albeit a minor trophy, that I always want to win when we’re in it and I’m always disappointed (while not gutted) when we lose in it…

but I’m behind the boycott of this one.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Fully backing this boycott. Sick of being the last thought whilst they continuously claim the fans matter the most. It's impossible to get a full club wide boycott going, they'll always be others willing to fill seats but we can certainly get enough backing to make it noticeable and using the social media voices we as fans do have we can make it be known there's a boycott and maybe that gets picked up by wider news outlets and there's some negativity directed towards the scheduling.

And for those who are more concerned about what the bitter cockney reds and irish dippers will say, get a grip. Let's hope we get enough backing for this to make headlines and maybe other fanbases can follow in our footsteps the next time they get screwed, somebody has to start it if we want change, I'll be proud if it's us.

The Midlands teams need to sort their shit out with the size of their stadiums.

Villa are their region’s biggest club with no other clubs in the whole of the Midlands anywhere near the size of City Everton United and Liverpool like we have in our region (meaning Villa’s support must be huge), yet their stadium is a piddly little 42,000 in 2023.

I think the Etihad is small at 53,000!

(I do still think it should be at Villa Park, though)

It’s the least glamorous one of them all I get that and the chances of us lifting all 7 are very slim. I’m certainly not putting up and argument for people to go. I’m just say for me personally if I seen city lift the other 6 and missed out because of a boycott I’d be raging as this may never come around again

Fair enough mate

 

[mexico1970]

Fuck it off lads and lasses until they sort it out.

 

[stonerblue]

I’m gonna boycott the fuck out of going to the game and sit at home with a crate and crisps.

Fuck their shitty, overpriced beer and extortionate food prices. Southern wankers.

Haha. All of that plus Wembley is a shit hole.

 

[OntarioBlue]

If this was a Saturday or earlier in the day on the Sunday, I wouldn’t have a problem with this, but the FA can get fucked with this shit… and City too for not standing up for us (AGAIN!) and saying that this isn’t good enough for our supporters.

I’ll be right behind your idea, mate. Get the ball rolling.

I think FA Cup semis being at Wembley need to start getting boycotted n’all. Proper takes the shine off the final.

If everyone who supports the boycott emails the Club once the tickets go on sale telling them that you are not buying a ticket and the reasons why the Club will have to pay more attention next time.

The FA, ITV and City may think they can ignore the fans but they need to remember the Super League.

City will be embarrassed by having to return thousands of tickets unsold but on this occasion they deserve to be embarrassed.
