You can't beat a good boycott...

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.

I don't think I am. Off the back of a treble, potentially several new signings on show and against Arsenal. It will be popular.

He`ll say what he likes and like what he says.

Just for anyone who wants to contribute to the cause:….

MCFC Supporters Boycott of 2023 Charity Shield @ Wembley

Help MCFC Fans Foodbank Support raise money to support Manchester Central Foodbank

Whether you’re supporting the boycott or not. Let’s make a ton of money for a charity that does great work (while representing our brilliant fan base).

Smashed £1k on the first day.

Meaningful difference being made already.

Thanks everyone who donated and thanks everyone who will vote with their feet and swerve the game!

If we didn’t sell out the community shield game against United after beating them en route to winning the FA cup in 2011 (when Wembley was still a novelty), I think you’re being quite optimistic.

Feel a bit of a git. Donated £10, I’ll save about £250 as I usually stay over in Gerrards Cross.

Not TV money for the CS though.
To my knowledge there hasn't been a PL game in London on a Sunday at 5.30pm which had a team north of Birmingham / Nottingham playing in it.

United played at West Ham at 7 pm on a Sunday a few weeks ago.

Come on mate, 12yrs on from then. We are in a completely different stratosphere.

I don’t doubt you are correct. But a fixture pile up on the back of a winter World Cup involving a club (West Ham) still involved in the latter stages of European Competition in a league game is not the same as a glorified pre season friendly and cannot be compared.
