Arsenal V Man City Community Shield pre match thread.

[Sergio<3]

I stayed at the travelodge for the Sunderland cup final, think we payed something like £27.50. Great value and only took us about 15 mins to walk to the stadium. Think I'm going to drive and come back after the game for the Arsenal game this time otherwise I'd definatly be booking the travelodge again

Agreed. I've done too many wembley trips recently and without the trains running and it only being a glorified friendly it's probably too much of a hassle.

The trains are running But you have to avoid the Manchester to London West Coast Mainline eg go from Manchester Picadilly to a Leeds and then from there to London.

I looked on <a class="postlink" href="http://www.mcfc.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.mcfc.co.uk</a> and found this for 2011

So we will have to wait some time. I don't know what the Kick Off time is either. 2pm likely as that was what it was last year
