If that's the case then I am more than happy to be called selfish for following Man City over land and sea.( +Wembley)

Completely missing the point

 

[Stoned Rose]

Do people actually go to this anyway?

A very expensive, mithery pre season warm up that means less than fuck all.

Not a “trophy” and never will be.

This thread is like arguing with Mrs about whether she should make her 3rd brew in the last hour or fuck it off.

 

[Benjani56]

This is too simplistic in my view. I respect the people who want to boycott, but I don’t think it will work. Both of these positions are legitimate and it should be possible to disagree without shaming others as selfish.

Just stating my opinion, he is prioritising his own want to go to the game over collective action which I believe will have an impact - that is selfish

For the record I’ll be boycotting not just because of the ridiculous kick off time, but because of the venue itself.

I’d probably be in the minority but I’d also support a future FA Cup semi boycott, regardless of the opponent.

@There is a light well the minority is at least 2 because I'm not going to this match nor any other semi final at Wembley.

It sold out last season, with a reasonable venue, allocation and kick off time - same circumstances and we'd sell out again 100%.

Still shit mate.

Sod Parker, City Matters and 1894. City themselves should be demanding the FA reconsider. Unless City were happy to agree the ko time.

City don't care about the fans making a stupid journey at that time on a Sunday

I know what you mean it's not competitive, but it's a day out.

Last season was enjoyable, great atmosphere in a compact ground, chance to see new players (Erling last year)

What exactly is that based on? We couldn’t sell out an fa cup semi final, which was on a Saturday. Your seriously overestimating the amount of replacement fans that we have

We aren’t Liverpool or United and if 20,000 city fans don’t go it will be very noticeable at Wembley. I don’t think we’d have sold out either way

That was before we won the treble
