The problem is it’s only a select few fan bases it affects. So the overwhelming majority of clubs won’t care or say fair play to city fans standing up to this. Even the cup semifinal a lot of clubs be buzzing to go to Wembley for it.Love the idea of a boycott. Wasn't going anyway (cup semis and community shield at Wembley is a no for me), but hope this gets overwhelming support.
Will definitely participate in something in Manchester for charity.
Imagine social media will be full of "how will we tell the difference", "you should boycott your ownership" type comments, but fuck them. They're all too thick to realise this is something that affects them as well and they should be getting behind it.
Nobody is letting anyone down. Everyone is free to go to whatever games they choose to or to choose not to. As far as I’m concerned nobody has explained why this community shield is different to the last one, or different to going to Athens on a Wednesday night for the UEFA version of the Community shield, why no statement or boycott for that or does that sound like a good trip we don’t want to miss out on.Most of those who are going are letting the rest of us down IMO (save those who may have promised kids, booked hotels they can't get out of) - we need to make a proper statement, going just enables them to keep taking the piss, year after year.
You say free world, I say there should be solidarity with the majority who are trying to make a statement to make a difference in the long term.Nobody is letting anyone down.

Exactly. There are no tickets that have been purchased yet, and hopefully most hotel bookings and travel costs will be refundable. Doing this now is for the greater good of football, and any loses incurred now will hopefully be recouped for years to come, but only by collective strength can we make the FA take note!Most of those who are going are letting the rest of us down IMO (save those who may have promised kids, booked hotels they can't get out of) - we need to make a proper statement, going just enables them to keep taking the piss, year after year.
Fuck right off mate. I'll go to any game I want to.Most of those who are going are letting the rest of us down IMO (save those who may have promised kids, booked hotels they can't get out of) - we need to make a proper statement, going just enables them to keep taking the piss, year after year.

If it’s the majority ,most won’t go. Think you’ll find it’s not the majority though and plenty will go.You say free world, I say there should be solidarity with the majority who are trying to make a statement to make a difference in the long term.
