2026 Community Shield | Millennium Stadium | Sun 16th Aug, 3pm

[bluemanc16]

Just booked the Premier Inn City centre Queen Street, two minutes to the station , five minutes walk to the stadium. Cardiff is a great city centre with the stadium right in the middle

Concert at Wembley. We have never played at the Millennium. I think that is a big draw for sales. Its not as big either. A change is as good as a rest is my view.

TNS in the UEFA Cup 2003

With the roof closed! I said at the time, “it was like watching City reserves in a gymn”

I'd forgotten roof was closed

Used to travel to south wales a couple of time a week up until last year
the stadium is just round the corner from Cardiff central station but the trains to Cardiff are an absolute joke ..
no big intercity service from Mcr just 2 small carriages even through rush hour which stop at every last village along the way . 3 1/2 hours off hell if your stood up on a hot crowded pokey carriage .. don't even think you can pre book seats 1st come 1st seated .

 

[Bozo]

Never been - will be up for this one.

TFW will need bigger trains to Cardiff...

 

[TinFoilHat]

Park in Newport and get trains into cardiff. Cheaper piss in Newport as well.

Blimey. Forgot. I wasn't at York or this but I was at London Bridge in 1987 after Millwall. I hope I am forgiven.

Only if you were at the more important game than York, Wrexham away, when Wiekens scored at our end, and started our run back to the big time.

Bristol is always an option cheaper and direct links ps i will be going up from Plymouth

Just looked, around 3-1/2 hours and 10 stops from Manchester, sounds a grueller and as somebody else said last train back 20.10.

Can I say a big "well done" to the OP for using the correct name for the trophy.

Yes but these are life affirming trips. Especially when some FOC beer monster blocks the only bog on the train with a death defying shite.

They are my favourite to report to maintenance control.

First prediction: the opposite. Very low sales. Why isn’t it at Wembley?

I suspect that the FA have a more profitable gig lined up!

And those Arsanal supporters will have to travel. Let's see if there is any comment made if not all of their seat allocation is used.....

Bring it on. Its about 13 weeks away.

 

[Giovinco]

What date is this due to be?

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Around 25 years ago I travelled down to South Wales on a Sunday evening and there'd been a big football match on at the Millennium stadium (think one of the teams was Blackburn)
The traffic heading away from Cardiff on the motorway was horrific

I got stuck there in 2001 when Robbie Williams did an outdoor gig. There is a small link road ( A48 maybe) up to the M4 and it was horrendous. Stay in Newport and get the train in.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Like it used to be on occasion

But you just know it would be at Arsanal * ( if tonight goes as predicted). Can't have the oat soya latte and fam blud fraternity traveling outsidaa norf landahnn....
