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

[SatOnTheWall]

Home Park might be inconvenient enough. Perhaps Selhurst.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Any truth in the rumour it’s going to be played in Oslo?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Give it a few years and it will be in America or China

Give it a few years and they’ll be league games being played in the States

 

[Tbilisi]

With a 5.15pm on a Sunday kick off its going to be in London somewhere you just know it!

 

[aka blue jambo]

No Jerk chicken :(

 

[Bluearmy]

FA will most likely pick Southampton

Or Singapore

They aren't going to hold it there, needs to be equidistant between the bulk of each teams support.

Play it in Dublin then

 

[i kne albert davy]

Play it in Dublin then

Edinburgh's a possibility.

Leicester is a shit choice for a venue.

I can imagine the FA thinking they’re doing the fans a massive favour having it in the “North” after the hullabaloo of the semi final.

Fact is, it’s a very similar journey time to London as it is to Leicester by train. But a fraction of the number of services. And much more potential for fans of both teams to be trying to cram on the same few trains they’ll be on a Sunday.

I’ve no idea which grounds are available and which aren’t on that date but surely Goodison and Old Trafford would be the logical places to consider first? Plenty of other grounds in the North West with similar capacities to Leicester if not.

 

[bridgeblue]

No point having at Leicester, when Blackburn has similar capacity. Good travel Links, decent amount of pubs. It's the obvious choice.

 

[Citycity76]

Won’t be going simple as that

Millennium Stadium or whatever its now called would be ok. Near the railway station and centre of town for a piss up.

Millennium Stadium or whatever its now called would be ok. Near the railway station and centre of town for a piss up.

The Millennium Stadium and the City of Cardiff would be great for me, as it's 12 miles from my family home.
Loads of great pubs nearby and right in the city centre.
The downside is South Wales is jam packed full of Liverpool (and also MUFC fans).
Any spare tickets will be snapped up by the Mickey Mousers...

 

[ysmsa]

Home of the Champions surely.

 

[Stephen230]

Home of the Champions surely.

I’d be happy and I’d guess both clubs would be to toss a coin and play it at City or Anfield.

Although no idea about availability. City often ask for an away game first up to prepare the ground after summer concerts.

 

[aka blue jambo]

If its easy to get to from Edinburgh I will go
Murrayfield? :)

 

[bladdered]

Elland Road would be my choice. If not then yes toss a coin to play home or away.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Elland Road would be my choice. If not then yes toss a coin to play home or away.

Trains would be fun

What is a ticket said many Dippers.
