Community Shield | Sat 30th Jul, 17:00 @ King Power Stadium

[urban genie]

So the charity shield won't be at wembley as we already know, but the club really need to say no to the FA suggestion of the king power.

Another ground where rail links are shite eapecially on a sunday, plus 32000 capacity, glorified friendly or not pick a bigger ground with direct trains, Villa, Leeds or the Swamp

Play it at Old Toilet and both sets of fans would help with the demolition work needed.

 

[HelloCity]

Will Utd want it considering the two teams involved?

Womens European cup final is same day at Wembley

 

[blue cigar]

On the other hand it's at a ground further north than London, this will be the first charity shield I've been to, will be some atmosphere.

 

[youngbob]

Will just be Villa Park, won't it?

Leicester were said to be favourites of those that have bid to host it, after the semi final debarcle seems daft to pick a place where you have to go via birmingham or sheffield to get there on the train

 

[tregyblue61]

Just play it at the home of the Champions like it used to be.

 

[hihosilva]

FA will most likely pick Southampton

 

[chaddblue]

I'll be in Albufeira watching in a bar no doubt infested with plastic dippers

 

[Corky]

Wigan is the fairest location.

 

[Ourman]

Surely the FA will realise that this game should be played in the north west an pick Anfield to host it.

As long as they give us half the stadium inc the kop then I'm alright with that

 

[mad4city]

Why not toss a coin and play it at either the Etihad or Anfield? I know it's nicer to wil it than not and Sky try to build the occasion up with waffle about "laying down a marker for the season" but we all know it's only a leg-stretcher anyway.

take a large gun.

Makes sense.

Got chatting to a older gentleman there one day, he was mentioning a broken leg he'd sustained anyway just thought I'd throw it in

 

[whipper]

Think the FA are waiting to see if there are any trains running that weekend. If there isn't any trains it will definitely be Spurs ground :)

Anywhere south of Birmingham is a piss take.

In fact anywhere outside of the North West is a piss take.
