That as well. As we know, it's all about making money for the FA. Arsenal will sell out. A chance of another trophy they don't deserve. And a walk, bus or tube ride to Wembley and back home again. What a perfect day for Arsenal fans.

Actually it's about raising money for community inititiatives and charities. So people are actually trying to boycott charity!

"Proceeds from the game are distributed to community initiatives and charities around the country. Revenue from the gate receipts and match programme sales is distributed to the 124 clubs who competed in the FA Cup from the first round onwards, for onward distribution to charities and projects of their choice, while the remainder is distributed to the FA's national charity partners."
 
That is my whole point if you read further up, no one did boycott it, neither will they boycott the super cup final, but a game a lot, included myself, cannot be bothered attending some are demanding others don’t bother.

Seriously. Do you think people are going to boycott a CL final in a possible treble season? A once in a lifetime occasion and opportunity.

Bar the match and the occasion, it was also about Istanbul and the trip. It was my holiday this year. £1500 spent in total

I've already explained.

Our demonstrations against UEFA have been going on for many years. Many season ticket holders don't go to the CL matches at the Etihad and boycott the games because of the way UEFA treat City fans, which continued in Istanbul sadly
 
Why should we boycott the Super Cup?
Maybe something to do with the shit show dragging us all the way across the continent leaving us stuck on a carpark on crappy buses for two or three hours then having a meaningless game on a Wednesday night in Athens, pretty similar to the balls up way the FA have treated us.
 
Just because a game is always in x location on x weekday that doesn't make it right

Literally no one is telling you not to go, they are asking you not to go

With an attitude like yours we will never achieve meaningful change

What meaningful change? Boycotting a game held to raise money for good causes?

Alternative charities have been mentioned. Read the press release from City Matters & 1894. I will donate. I donate money to charities through my wages in work.

If the boycott group all bought tickets and it sold out but nobody went that would send a message perhaps.
 
No tickets will be returned. Instead we will be surrounded by tourists who have bought a cityzens card the day before.

Boycotts don't work. The club don't give a shit and the FA don't give a shit.

I think you’re overestimating the number of new found tourist types who’ll be interested in a game like this.

We wouldn’t have anywhere near sold out for this, no matter what the day or time.
 
It's noticeable yeah, it will be embarrassing for us as fans to deal with all the shite about no support.

You think the FA will make it better for us next time round. Will they bollocks.

Embarrassing? Why would you care what other fans think?

Who gives a shit what other people think on Twitter. I actually think we’d get more respect from proper fans if there was a mass protest
