Just looked to see when coverage of the Community Shield today starts on TV and I'm surprised it's not on ITV or the BBC. Not that bothered about today's game but I think it's shameful it's not on either. How long before we have to pay to watch the FA Cup final too?

Don’t think they can do with the Fa cup final, isn’t it one of those protected events like Wimbledon, The Grand National and The F1 British GP that have to be on terrestrial tv?

The Charity shield has always jumped between paid tv and normal tv. Sky had it in the 90s first and then BT Sports also got it for a bit.

Cheer up. Chelsea (the team we all used to support) are playing AC Milan at the same time, and that's on C5.

No need to thank me; it's all part of the service we offer.
 
Zero fucks given about his game tbf, I am only half arsed when we are in it tbf.

A pre season friendly with a trophy unimportant as the one we won last night.
( and no I don't call our domestic treble season fourmidables )

Lost all it's value when it stopped being the opener for the full English Football Season and just a pre premier league kick about.

It wasn't on terrestrial TV for about 34 years.

Either not shown at all then on Sky for most of that time.

1987 - 2021 so I'm not sure what the basis is to be so surprised.

Really? Whats it on

Can’t decide whether to watch but probably will. Liverpool are a club whose fans proper annoy me (most the team I work in Liverpool fans. One of whose Husband, who lives in Dorset, had the nerve to question why I support City when from Preston) but I loved Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup if we didn’t so hmm yes will prob watch
