Enough, I got two for me and my mate when we played at Leicester a couple of years back.

Probably about 18k

Not ideal.
I was there for the Chelsea game. Different times now.

Although I had been to see City at Filbert Street (1976), had never been to Leicester City's new ground,so I thought I would go to the Charity Shield.
And as you say,it was very easy to get a ticket for that particular fixture .

In the late 80s and early 90s I hardly missed a game home or away but somehow never got to Filbert Street. I remember pictures of their inflatable tent that protected the pitch in Shoot magazine.

Should be moved to Villa Park, equal distance between us and the rag fans in London.

It’s a light hearted post but when we have the annual discussion about people wanting the Charity Shield moved away from Wembley, they’re overlooking one pretty crucial thing.

The vast majority of clubs have no interest in hosting it. I’m well aware that Villa staged the Chelsea game a few years back. But last time they couldn’t play it at Wembley, the FA asked every Premier League club if they’d be interested in hosting it and apart from Leicester, only two others showed any interest. And from memory, I think one of those was Southampton, which would have been fun.

City fans, rags, terraced houses and tight Aston alleyways.

What could possibly go wrong, be Maine Road all over again

 

[hateutd]

not a fan of charity shield,but this one makes sense for us to win ......Do you listen Pep?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Glorified pre season friendly.

We'll treat it like that whilst the scum thinks it's the CL final. They may beat us again but we'll win the shit that matters.

Never been to a charity shield in the sixty odd years as a city supporter not going to start now.

Good time, lets hope theres some proper Blues down there, last season sold out but was weird.

Can we Boycott it again? I enjoyed Band on the wall.

Me neither but I'm desperate for some proper football after this Euro crap so might go to this one.

 

[1894southstander]

Won't be going and will watch on TV if I ain't working

 

[Blue Til Death]

Not missed one for a long time but decided against this one.. Just can’t justify the costs these days.. Sign of the times I guess ..

 

[aka blue jambo]

Didn't fancy an overnight this time so 3pm Saturday is good for an Edinburgh day trip

 

[Chris Holmes]

Wasn't going to go, but missing quality football, and the 3pm ko swings it for me even though we may be slightly undercooked.

Are there no decent flights.

 

[Stephen230]

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