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

[FantasyIreland]

It’ll only get reported as City have no fans…

 

[ysmsa]

Pathetic time but planned a weekend away with family just outside London to incorporate the game so me and me lad will be there.

No way would I have bothered otherwise

 

[bennyboy]

Do not go by all means but why bring in a stupid boycott in.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Do not go by all means but why bring in a stupid boycott in.

So that we can show that we are not happy and sick of it. What's the point of being so fed up that a large percentage of the fans decide not to go, without making a statement that the reason for us not going is because we're sick of the stupid kick off times without consideration for the fans?

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Arsenal won fuck all, they shouldn't be allowed to play in this game. Same when we played the dippers a few years back.

Pains me to say it but it should be against the rags as they won the league cup IMO.

Think we should play Burnley EFL champions, mind you would mean playing them two weeks running. Play it at the swamp , deadwood or Bolton.

 

[tregyblue61]

I want to go. I enjoy this as a day out regardless of the result but fuck ITV and their audience. If they want a spectacle at Wembley, give US, the fans, the right conditions to do it.

We've had a 2pm and two 3pm KO's on a Sunday at Wembley which were fine for getting home at a decent time. We had the 5:15pm KO against Leicester on a Saturday which was a real ball ache. The KO time limits the trains I, and others, can get.

I've just checked train times: Services are going to be affected because of engineering works which means a long drive, there and back, and home again at 1am.

I've had enough of the FA - and clubs - taking the piss. I love watching City and want to take in as much as I can for the next 5 years. This shit house KO lark has to stop. It's time to take a stand. Enough is enough.

I would boycott any charity shield game or any other semi or final at the swamp before any game at Wembley.
How hard is it to realise that the toilet is not fit enough to hold anything.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

They took about 5k compared to 30k + at previous Wembley play offs. I would say that’s a bloody good statement.

True but the 30,000 turn outs were for plays offs to get into the prem and one against Yoeville to return to the Championship for the first time since the 70s. I doubt they would have got 30,000 for a fourth level play off, however I'm biased as a bitter old Codhead and most of my mates are Donkey Lashers.

 

[Nellies left peg]

I like the sound of option 4 - a chance to 'welcome' them to the Prem.

It’s happening the Friday after anyway

 

[bluestevei]

i wont go, 50 notes for a ticket, going down there 30 notes beer and food money, nah if it was at leicester again, or villa park yes

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Boycott is the way to go.

It's borderline disgraceful to host the game there anyway, let alone on a Sunday at 5.30pm.

In a country where the public transport is so bad, the motorways often rammed and with a cost of living crisis, it's ridiculous to ask fans to travel to London for a friendly.

It's fine for Arsenal fans, it's a twenty minute tube ride.

It should be Villa Park and a 3 o’clock kick off.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I would support a boycot yes. These are the stakeholders priorities as I see it.

PL demands
UEFA demands
TV demands
Police requirements
Clubs wishes
Players wishes


Fans are just not on that list. I am FED UP of being treated like brainless cattle just because we're "The public" as if thats always a dangerous thing. I see it across the board, from roadworks to how the police or NHS treat us. Anyway I am going on a tangent there.

Yes we should protest, let them know that WE are the biggest stakeholder in all this, without us they have fuck all.

 

[Woody135]

The players just saw 200k fans turn up in a storm for their parade

If theyre aware there is a reason fans wont be there in numbers they will more than understand

 

[Deleted member 77198]

The Super Cup is the week after. Which is more important?

Our fanbase needs to get behind the Super Cup instead. That’ll be a great trip.

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Can we not put on a fleet of buses, make fans queue for hours, do not put on any toilet facilities, no stops, no water, oh and turn the heating up to full blast. We’d get 20,000 of us signing up to that.

 

[Shirley]

Maybe better to push for the kick off time to be earlier

 

[Big gay Al]

This is a great opportunity to stick two fingers up to the FA....as much as we all love this Club and follow them all over, I will not be going.The Day and time is an absolute piss-take.If you can't see that this is an example of not giving a shit about the Football fan well, try and have a good day out.

 

[cheekybids]

It seems a deliberate ploy to move this overseas & then blaming fans for not turning up.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Maybe better to push for the kick off time to be earlier

Fuck the whole affair.

The FA switched it to Leicester last year when it suited THEIR needs.

Why not switch it this year to suit OUR needs

Arse fans 40 minutes return journey.

City fans 8 hours return journey getting home at 11-30 on a Sunday

Fuck em, BOYCOTT !!

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Do not go by all means but why bring in a stupid boycott in.

Stupid is as stupid says, you clearly have no concept of why a boycott is being planned.

BOYCOTT !!
