Community Shield - 2024/25 | 10 Aug Sat 3pm

[Gone for a Burton]

Any thoughts on City withdrawing from the CS.

The game should be held at the home of the Champions as winners of English footballs elite tournament.

It's only at Wembley to pay off the incompetent FAs debts for a wrongly located ground.

What have the FA ever done for City or us fans.

We'd be better holding internal game twixt the academy teams followed by one twixt the first team squad.

Free to all season ticket holders etc then £10 adults/£5 u 18s open sale.


Make it an annual pre season 'open day festival'.

Thoughts ??

It's been at Wembley (or Cardiff for a while) since basically the dawn of time outside of a few unique cases.

We arent going to big-league it and withdraw. Every other team played at the designated venue, we arent special.

 

[WestGorton]

We will be contracted by being a member of the Premier League so whatever your views its a non starter.

When it was held at the champions ground, Leeds refused to play us and we played who ??? instead at MR. I think it was Leeds title under Revie but the memory is very vague now.
There, that was really informative wasn’t it? Suitably sesquipedalian.
You are right about the debts run up by Ken Bates. FA had to sign a contract to hold Community shield, both cup semis and all England games at Wembley for several years. I don’t know if that contract is still live.

The rags withdrew from the FA Cup !!

And got roundly criticised for it. There’s enough vitriol against City already.
