Are we going to be wearing the new 3rd kit for this as we're the away side? The other 2 won't be any good against light blue surely 

We're in blue and they're in their white away kit apparently, I cannot for the life of me remember where I saw that but I think it was someone at least sightly reputable.

 

Edit: it was Jason Bourne on Twitter.

Was bored enough to have a quick count up. Around 9k tickets left, all upper tier. Loads of good 25 quid tickets left all together. 

 

Surely the ticket office will have the decency to open this up for general sale. It'd be spiteful not to.

If the bottom tier is sold out then it will at least look good on the telly. Hope the Tielemans End will be rocking like it was last May.

😂😂😂😂 Now that is a very strict set of rules on conversation to not be able to deviate even slightly 🤣

I’m fairly confident all English supporters over 11 must do a LFT regardless of vaccine. I swear it said on Wembley page that only Scottish and Welsh attendees could get in purely on their vaccine status. Could be mistaken.

Not what LCFC website said. Proof of full vaccnine 14 days previous is OK.

Yeah, I saw that. LCFC ain’t the ones letting you in though, it’s the venue staff, hahaha.

 

I’m gonna do one anyway, but I’m sure you’re right and it won’t be necessary.

It was posted on the FA’s website just over a week ago

Leicester City’s outfield players will be wearing blue shirts, white shorts and blue socks, while their goalkeeper will be in all black, and Manchester City’s outfield players will wear white shirts, green shorts and white socks, with their goalkeeper in all yellow.

When is general sale for this? 

I was told by someone at the club on Thursday  this may not go to general sale. Think they were expecting to sell out by now. I’m surprised we havnt even with the pandemic.

Seems a bit nonsensical not to go to general sale. Surely you'd want to shift the tickets. Not saying we'd sell out but really don't see the harm at this stage 

 

Generally speaking I don't think it helped having ticket details announced so late

I totally agree with you, Man City have less then 2000 for sale. They did season tickets one day and think within a couple of days Friday they went to general sale

Man City only have certain blocks on sale. They haven't opened it all up.

Not surprised. They've left this so late that costs for travel are going to be double or triple that of the actual match ticket, which is shocking.

Late ticket details, no general sale, elderly fan base, world still battling Covid. Not really a shock tickets aren’t moving for a game that, well let’s be honest here, few actually care about the charity shield.

Was Brent Council's plan all along to keep the attendance low.

But you just pull up that info and the minimum wage brigade ain't gonna argue with you are they.

 

The covid checks are the now the 1st ones as soon as you get off the tube etc. So proof of jabs will be fine.

Still 0-0 mate it's 6 days away.

If the tickets make general sale, I wish to purchase 3, I'm ok being a season ticket holder, however for the other 2 tickets do I have to register the people they are for on the website.

It says online sales only and they can only be used by named ticket holder, does this mean that their name will be printed on the ticket?

You will need a create a relationship on your online account - you will need there email address to create the profile 

 

Once created then you will be able to buy tickets and assign the ticket to them

Took 16 days to agree and announce ticket details after the government confirmed on 12 July that capacity limits were being scrapped (which was signalled months before in any case)

In fairness to Man City fans, they play at Wembley 3 times a season and I never realised how much of a ball ache their trains must be.
