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

[Bournemouth Blue]

It’s in Truro, during an RMT strike day

Maybe a bit more excitement for this one. I for one want to see the Viking run out in blue. And what about Isco disco? I think the new player effect will see quick sell outs for weeks.

Let's not fanny about. I don't just want to see the viking make his debut, I want to see him fucking annihilate them!

 

[Georgian Maestro]

Generally speaking (not just using this thread as a barometer) I'm sure there's loads more interest from City fans than there would be if it was at Wembley. This will sell out easily IMO

I think you're right. I'll be there but i wouldn't have bothered if it was at Wembley

It was confirmed weeks ago.

Date is Sunday 31st July, 17:15 KO (cue more moans from our fans who are proper weird about kick off times!)

Should be a top day!

Where has it been confirmed? Seems likely but not seen anything official?

If it is at Leicester, do we get a free clacker with every ticket?

Just asked them, said only if they can keep the gate receipts.

They must be pricy.

How about we give them to Oxfam after the match?

I hear Old Toilet has a real life "Rain Man"

His Job is to locate leaks in the Roof on Match Days. With fans sick of being pissed on when it rains.

True story.

I'm not letting anyone near my clackers!

They should be grateful. Makes a change from being shat on!

Well it is titled the "community shield" so maybe it should involve members of the local community of the venue that is chosen so how about Stoke or Milwall and get the locals involved :)

Has a date been fixed for this fixture ?

 

[Lauz9888]

Womens European cup final is same day at Wembley

Same time as well.

Is there any chance, ever, of the FA considering that some people might want to watch both, or that it might be a good idea for a showcase match in the women's game to not clash with the first match of the men's season?

Sorry just seen it in an earlier post ta

We should have it at the stade de France just for shits and giggles.

I’ve got some spares if you’re interested.

Womens fans groups and some players of various WFAs have already complained that it is a piss take and inconsiderate.


The FA should move the game to Saturday and Play it at either the swamp, Villa or Elland Rd

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I’ve only ever been to one of our charity shields, at villa park, because I think they are shit. But if this one is anywhere remotely close I’m going with my lads just for the pure pleasure of taking the piss out the plastics for 90 minutes.

You nearly won the league.

 

[Tbilisi]

This will be very hard to get tickets.

Would think each club will only get about 13k each?

Liverpool fans must be dreading it, long way from their fan bases in London, Norway and Ireland and they will be getting the piss taken all day.

Like Chelsea in 2013 we will turn up in numbers for this one.
