No More Champions League For Me

I'm in the Cup Scheme ,but I've f***ed off the Champs League.

Mr Fezziwig from Scrooge would have understood.

Jorkin: 'It's the age of the Champions League, Mr. Fezziwig, we League and FA Cup fans are ancient history'
Fezziwig:... I'll have to be loyal to the old ways Mr. Jorkin and die out with them if needs must'.
 
Had an email from the club today about check my cup schemes were correct.

I'm normally in them all but this time no CL scheme.

Is it usual to get this email or is it just because I'm not in all three?

It struck me as the club trying to drum up the CL scheme.

Perception is everything

the email asks you to check if your credit/debit card details are up to date as many people last year had problems with their cards lapsing throughout the year and then payment couldn't be taken

a fair few fans complained about it, like City were supposed to know the card had lapsed before trying to take payment

Has anyone actually said they're boycotting it i.e. trying to hurt UEFA, by not attending? Not the general feel I'm getting. I'm certainly not boycotting or protesting. It's just going to be very easy to make my excuses not to go. I could go to some, none or all of the matches, but I feel under no obligation. If some super fans feel they get one over me because of it, I think I can just about bear the jibes...

No need to get sensitive. I'm not holding myself up as any kind of super fan. Just surprised at the number of people who don't care about European football. I don't recall too many saying "fuck the champions league" when we were trying to get into it but I'm sure they just didn't realise then that the club would attract new supporter (tourists), that the CL had a seeding/co efficient system, and that they wouldn't be able to buy beer or sit with their regular mates for a top laugh.

You may well be right squirty.

It would be interesting to get hold of the figures on the numbers in each scheme though.

i would also like to see that, not that it would bother me in the least how many were on each

Going to the games though isn't always necessary. I've been blue since day born and consider myself to be a pretty rock-solid fan, can certainly afford the extra games but just think, "fuck it, I'll watch it on the telly". Surely that shouldn't adversely affect someone's view of my loyalty?

evening squirty..hope you are well. It really is silly. If you want to go then go but I am not going this season through choice.I will probably go to roma at home but no others.I simply prefer domestic competition.Can't really say why but after so many false dawns prior to the takeover I think I am getting used to enjoying domestic success.
