I think the swamp (if playable) would be acceptable to both clubs.

Newcastle or Sunderland wd nail it for me.

I'm sure they could but why would Blackburn want that.

To get the gate receipts/FA payment for using their stadium?

Yes. The FA would have to make it worth their while in hosting it.

shieldNo chance it would be played at Blackburn as they are a championship team so their ground would be deemed inferior by the powers that be in the Premier league.

Think the charity/community shield, is like the fa cup . Don't think the premier league would have much say over the venue

Aren't the gate receipts distributed amongst teams in FA cup to give to charity ?

In 2002, the Charity Commission found that the Football Association had failed to meet its legal obligations under charity law, by failing to specify what money from ticket sales went to charity, and delaying payments to the charities nominated.[15] As a result, the competition was renamed the Community Shield

At what point did i say it wasn't called the Community shield? Its literally the title of the thread we are posting in? I said its a charity game. The money made goes to charity, the majority given to the 124 teams who play in the 1st round of the FA Cup to distribute to their chosen charities.
