Leicester (N) - Community Shield | Pre-Match Thread

The Torch is fairly similar to The Green Man, probably the liveliest on the East side

And still shit, anyone mentioned jerk chicken yet ?

Is this where a lot of fans will be Saturday? Only ever experienced The Green Man a number of times. Will it be worth our time to walk there after we get the tube from Wealdstone?

Yes it sounds crazy but now we've been to Wembley so many times the novelty has well and truly worn off. I was there for the Villa game which I enjoyed, even more so when no fans were allowed soon after.

When you're young you travel all over and endure any hardship to follow City but as you get older you get a bit more comfort first. I think of you attend games as a group that makes a difference too as you make it a social event, going on your own doesn't have the same buzz.

Yes I'm not sure where the seat counters are someone normally knows how many tickets we've sold so far.

I'm sure the ones going will have s great day, I'm trying to resist that urge to cave in and book lol.

Don't fight the feeling, treat every visit as possibly being our last, it took 18 years before we made it back to Wembley after 81

According to the Seat map, 820 tickets sold since last night. Don't ask me how, I like numbers :)
Still haven't opened the other half of the top tier.
Leicester have now opened theirs to general sale.

Going to need a late big push to sell out!

Anybody else had card issues through the City ticketing site?

Not surprising, apparently, as very few can afford to spend £500 including two nights in a hotel and beer money?

Seriously, on this topic, have City ever sold out a Community Shield match? The one against United maybe? I seem to recall plenty of gaps in the CS matches I have been to.

I imagine that’s where it’ll be liveliest. And yeh it’s a bit of a shithole but I’ve always enjoyed the atmosphere in there

Neither us or United sold out that game. There were lots of empty rows in both ends from memory.
My only Wembley charity shield visit.

You could always try Crystal Club next to the stadium. Think Mary D’s and you will be close to the Mark. Not my cup of tea but I’m sure some will enjoy it, and it literally is a couple of mins from the turnstiles.

Does anyone have a list of pubs we have been allocated, as I can't find anything on the FA site, or City's site (why am I not surprised) ?
