You should definitely take him.
You never know when the opportunity will arise again.
Celebrate City's success with him!
No, I said I would go into town after the match.
Perhaps you may have noticed over the last few weeks, I have replied to people who have discussed this with me to have an enjoyable day at Wembley. There's no bitterness on my part towards people who have decided to go.
As for Newcastle's support, it's up to them what they do. Knowing their support and demand for tickets to see their successful team play the treble winners at the Etihad, Newcastle will sell out their 3000 allocation very quickly. And I'm sure many of them will make a weekend of it in Manchester.
No way,the sly greedy B@$t@[D○€$ i only know it as the charity shield.

It wasn't that damning and there was no suggestion that no money was given to charities:
The inquiry centred around concerns that some fans buying tickets for the 2000 game did not receive a "solicitation statement" at the point of sale telling them how the money available for charities would be calculated and distributed...The FA failed to meet fund-raising regulations by not informing ticket-holders exactly how the charities would benefit (the statements were provided when purchased directly from the FA, but not when bought from the clubs)
... charities had previously received all the money they should have - approximately 35% of the gate receipts....the Charity Commission's director of operations, said: 'The FA Charity Shield has raised more than £5m for charity in the past 10 years, but the organisers of any fund-raising event must comply with the rules.'...
The inquiry also concluded that there were unacceptable delays in making donations to the charities nominated by the participating clubs...
As a result, the FA has agreed to fully comply with fund-raising legislation and is to speed up the distribution of funds, the commission said...
They decided to change its name so it could focus the distribution of raised revenue on non-charitable worthy causes with £5,000 going to every participant in the FA cup proper to use for good/community causes. Any remaining revenue still goes to the FA's nominated charities.

I can see both sides of the argument. As someone who went to arsenal a few seasons back when there was a boycott because of ticket prices and I probably only got one because of the boycott. Fast forward to now I support the boycott but as someone who made it to wembley and istanbul I wouldn't dare tell fans to stay away particularly if they didn't attend either. Unfortunately I don't think a boycott will make a blind bit of difference. TV and sponsors will always come first over us plebs. You only have to look at the distribution of tickets to major finals to realise that. As an aside the Newcastle game at 8pm has caused more grief especially to overseas fans. Roughly €60 on flights and the cheapest room in manchester is about €90. As I'm getting the first flight out as I'm in work the next morning it means having a few beers still stupid o clock and then kipping at the airport for a few hours
That was reduced to £2k from a circa £4m pot including gate, sponsorship and TV money. £248k plus andother £27k each for the 2 club's good causes.
The Clubs get the biggest share as prize money un-ringfenced.
The FA Published the £5k article in 2007, and they have been silent on it since. That is the big con, there isn't a shred of transparency about where there money ends up, and clubs have said what tehy did with their £3k over the last ten years, but there has been a gag on it recently.
City last talked about in in 2018 but were not able to say the actual amounts this time:
Previously they had given figures:
The FA in 2007, nothing since:
Who benefits from the cash raised by The FA Community Shield?
The FA Community Shield raises hundreds of thousands of pounds every year, distributed to community-based initiatives and charities up and down the country.

£300k from £4m?

There is prize money, which is a shared pot of £1.25m. Presumably, the lower gate receipts from not being at Wembley impacted last years available pot, but Alzheimer's got a £120,000 donation.
Not sure where your 2K figure came from or what you mean by the '3K over ten years'?
So for 2022 we know of
£300K (or £650K if it is still £5K)+£1.25m+£120K from £4m (or less due to not being at Wembley)?
Then theres running costs...
