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

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I think for once we might have a bit of sympathy from the usual pricks that scream "empty seats" at us

 

[mattcity5]

Bin it.

City fans are funding the majority of the Wembley rebuild with how often we're there and yet they continue to take the piss with stupid kick off times.

Be great if we don't sell a single ticket.

I know I'm probably in the minority, but the time actually suits me. As I've posted earlier in the thread, I'll be down in London for a long weekend anyway attending the Great British Beer Festival, and had intended to stop over on Sunday night as well to avoid the usual dash back to Euston for a train home.
I also usually go for a lido swim in London once a week, so will book one for Monday morning.
I appreciate I'm retired so don't have to worry about getting to work on Monday morning so understand it won't suit those who still have to attend a workplace.

No chance - we'll get "They've just won a treble and can't fill Wembley, if that was *Insert random club who haven't averaged more than 30k fans in their entire history here* we'd have taken over London for that game!!"


Fuck football banter though.

Boycott! Boycott! Boycott! Is there anything else local we can attend as an alternative? Would be a huge flick of the V’s to the cunts.

All right for the London clubs Isn’t it but when it’s us who have been to Wembley more than any other team I think the fa don’t give a fcuk 5:30 and Sunday is piss take why isn’t it 3pm Saturday!?

 

[jrb]

30,000 empty seats, we've boycotted the game.

Missing this will pay for a few more pints in greece

 

[mancityscot]

Boycott is the only answer

 

[francis]

Bizarre how I watched City wallop WBA 6-1 in 1968 in the Charity shield and we all considered it a lark. Nobody added it to the trophy lists then. It wasn’t until Maureen came along calling it a trophy that it seemed to get elevated.

Agreed, west brom keeper broke.a finger trying to stop one of frannys rockets!

1894 are thinking of organising a boycott (where fans - who can afford to do so - donate their match ticket or a token amount to the MCFC Foodbank - or a charity of their choice).

Would love to know people's thoughts.

I'll donate to MCFC Food bank instead of going to Wembley. I love our club and hate missing games but the fa can fuck off with a 5.30 game on a Sunday.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

We need to boycott this game and the club needs to put a strongly worded statement out condemning the fa.
