Community Shield moved

[Beedar]

I'm see they've moved the community shield from Wembley to Leicester because the Women's Euro final is being held at Wembley the day after, this after Wembley recently held two matches ( One being the FA Trophy Final ) 24 hours after Sunderland and Wycombe played in the League One Play Off Final. Surely a venue with a larger capacity could have been chosen, Villa Park for example

I would think this will be about dressing the stadium and not the pitch.

Nobody cares about the Community Shield, I assume that's why. It's just a friendly.

Well I think we all can't wait to see what amounts to a pre season friendly between Liverpool and City two months after having had nothing but City and bloody Liverpool.

Weird place to have it, especially when Villa is nearby and has a larger capacity.

Probably to save the embarrassment of all those empty seats at Wembley

Liverpool v City? Would Old Trafford have been out of the question?

Failing that, why not Tottenham, or Arsenal, or West Ham?

Liverpool fans will they can get the treble

 

[Meliora]

Can't they play it in Paris and pretend it's the champions league final that should have happened had citeh not cocked up the last five minutes of their semi?

I think they are eventually going to move it around the world every year as an exhibition match to expand the reach of English football. Getting it away from Wembley is the first step
