[Champions again in 2012]

Not read the entire thread, nor do I intend doing so, but how does the king power stadium have seats with a partially obstructed view? And no i've never been to this ground

Cos of the amount of scousers that jib in. 2 to every seat with forged tickets makes the view restricted because of the phlegm they spit out as they talk;-)

I've been a fair few times and can't think where the obstructed views are, unless it's the very back of corners where it might be difficult to see the near corners. ?

Why did the Charity Shield change its name to the Community Shield? | Goal.com

Goal takes a look at the origins of the Community Shield match, as well as why it is no longer known as the 'Charity Shield'.

Found this which is a little more up to date indicates it goes to good causes, not as if clubs involved need the money.

No figures and it is from Goal. It is a dirty secret, £124k divided up last year, given sponsor and tv money, you have to ask where the rest went:

Dagenham & Redbridge FC | FA Distributes Community Shield Money

The Daggers Trust has recently received £1000 from the Football Association, as a result of their distribution of the money raised specifically from the Community Shield match attendance.

I wonder where the other 8,000 tickets are going? I can’t see many FA big wigs particularly fancying a jolly up in Leicester. Not sure many neutrals would be that arsed about watching a friendly not involving their clubs either, if the remainder are dished out to all the other clubs.

I imagine wherever they first go the majority will end up in Liverpool fan’s hands anyway.

When we played at Villa Park against Chelsea I know McDonald's had a load of them, my mate who works for them wasn't going to bother going but decided to take up a freebie from them.

Don’t get the “glorified friendly” comments on here at all
THIS IS CITY vs LIVERPOOL
Two exceptional teams with a shed load of rival art going at it before the season even kicks off
I for one will be there and so happy not having to trek to London and back for once

I don’t get the “glorified “ bit. It’s a friendly.

Doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to look forward to it or enjoy it.

Exactly. People can choose how they wish to spend their hard earned.

It’s not for me but I hope everyone who does go has a great day .

And still want to win it.
