I presume this will be the first ever Manchester derby Community Shield?

Adds a bit of spice.

I forgot about this, but bring it on!!!

Same here. A glamorous showpiece to start the season with. Welcome to the new City! I suppose we'd better get used to these occasions :)

[spiv]

anyone got a spare going?

In all seriousness.... fancy a day out in London in august? I already got permission from missus for this.

haha - definitely mate, if we can nail the tickets we're there.

i know this may seem silly to some - but i could have had tickets for the last 2 wembley appearances but chose not to as it was too important.... i was sick twice today just watching it on telly (on my own with the door locked, phone off and curtains drawn....

i can do a charity shield though :)

p.s. I'll let Spiv pimp me out in Piccadilly Circus for a ticket, no problem.

You're far too old, there's not alot of call for mutton these days it's only lamb that gets the top dollar :)
Seriously we'll all have to keep our wits about us if anybody is drinking anywhere between Baker street and Wembley park.

[freshie]

Can't wait for this - a Manchester derby to kick off the new season. It's gonna be fucking mental!

[ant london]

Does anyone know when this is played? I think I'll try to come back over for it

[mr_nool]

On holiday then. Bummer.

How does the carity shield work though. Don't they give most of the tickets to charity? or do they sell the tickets and give the money to charity?

Here's the funny bit, if I understood it correctly at the time, when they changed the name from Charity Shield to Community Shield, they also changed how the whole thing works. While they used to give all the money to charity, now they make a "donation" to charities ie keep majority of money themselves.

after experiencing city at wembley on saturday i have to do it again! the derby would be mental!!!

The Wembley stadium build is deemed a charity apparently ....

I was told that it would not be at Wembley due to olympics but no alternative venue confirmed, yet on the FA Site seems to be confirmed for Wembley on the 7th. Tickets are usualy very cheap, £40 dearest seat last year with far less corporate so should be reasonably easy to get a ticket

[Lee_R]

Is it classed as a trophy then or what?

It's the one a year later that is affected by the Olympics.

it would get listed on our honours list, but gets forgotten about by end of season count up on trophys won. Is thought of as a pre-season friendly really

[lets all have a disco]

I'm going.
I'm actually starting to get addicted to going to Wembley,cant get enough of it.


I hope the players are feeling the same way.

PS We'll win that aswell.
