Great news. Day return on the Yorkshire Express rattler for me. Can't wait for the seat counter thread!

3pm on a Saturday creates major issues for those looking for a reason to boycott.

There will be no organised boycott this year. Individual fans will of course be free to choose whether they go or not.

This is what fan activism can achieve if people can put their rivalries to one side:

Last year was the only time we have sold our for the Charity Shield at Wembley.
Nothing to do with fans activism.
The only reason it is 3pm is because it is the rags.Nothing to do with anything else.

Thousands of regular fans who would've normally gone boycotted last year's CS. The fact that it sold out regardless is irrelevant because those who were there have made the point that the composition of the crowd was as far removed from a City following at Wembley as you can get.

Oh really? Im surprised to hear that....

Any idea when they might go on sale

I really hope we get stuffed by United.

It’s the only way I’ll get decent odds for my annual City/United bets with my red ‘mate’ [emoji23]

For any anoraks/football history nerds out there, this will be the first Community Shield played at 3:00pm on a Saturday since 1992 (when it was still the Charity Shield).
An Eric Cantona hat-trick helped champions Leeds to a 4-3 win over Liverpool.

If you get there early enough you'll get a game!!

Well last season sales started 25 days before the game. So if it’s the same, that would put it on 16th July.

Thanks for this.

Sadly and as nice as it’d be, it’s likey more to do with Sky than with ‘fan activism’. Every championship and league one game across that weekend is being played at a time other than 1500 on the Saturday.
Every game is available via the red button so the CS doesn’t clash with any of them, which is why it’s been left at 3.

Sounds more like it. Since when has football officialdom pandered to fans needs. Or have united requested a 3pm kick off, in which case football officialdom will bend over backwards for them.

Don’t forget yer boots

I more meant that with there being no 3 o’clocks because of Sky, leaving us at 3 was a lot easier.
