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

Fully support the boycott. Trying to get to Wembley on a Sunday that late and then trying to get home is a nightmare

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.

The problem is that somebody down the pecking order might buy them… We’ll see

I’m fucked if I’m going now.. they can ram it

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.

You're right decent trophy owing to having to be champions or FA.Cup winners to have a chance(usually), bit like our jaunt to Athens.Alas 5.30 is just taking the piss out of a Manchester based fan base, not sure about boycotts just if its not for you don't go.

There probably won’t be any boycott, many will go.The time isn’t great, but why us being in a communty shield final at Wembley in August is a surprise to anyone after the last 10 years is beyond me, nothing to do with City, it is where it is.
It’s a glorified friendly go or don’t , why make a song and dance over it ,no idea.

A lot of people will still buy tickets and that’s fine, it’s their personal choice. But if City gets an allocation of (say) 30,000 tickets and has to return 25,000 it will be hugely embarrassing for the Club and the FA.

This game should be played on Saturday at 3pm, just like the FA Cup should be, and the FA needs to stop pandering, or selling out, to the TV companies.

Nunez thought he’d won a CL medal.



And the Scousers thought they were going to have a good season.

The people making a song and dance about it are the people who are arguing why we should go. I’ve made my mind up. Not going. No song and dance. Those of you who are going, have a nice day.

This is the reason fans across the UK not just us get shafted by the FA, Prem, EFL and TV companies constanly

this "it is what it is so just accept it" attitude lets them off the hook.

On an aside

Any northern team should boycott it and the semis and collectively fans groups should start working together to say enough of the piss talking, it's quite sad that banter and rivalry goes before calling out those taking the piss like ITV
