Should be held at the Coventry Arena. Has a decent capacity, decent links from rail station and M6 and far enough out of town to avoid lots of drinking in city pubs. And it avoids the self-aggrandising knobheads shitting in our toilets and then posting how crap our facilities are. (Even though they are, as we all know).

Links from Rail station? It’s terrible from what I understand

They could have maybe have had it at Leeds or Newcastle, which may have made more sense.  I'm guessing that we would have been keen on hosting it, to gain a few brownie points, in view of possibly hosting some games in the Euros in 2028, if we've actually managed to expand our ground  by then.

I’m really surprised that they’ve prioritised the women’s Euro’s over the Community Shield tbh. 

I mean… the Women’s final was always going to be Wembley, as it should. Tickets for it flew out and it’s sold out.

 

It’s not odd the the Community Shildnhas been moved, I just find it odd that it’s been moved to Leicester specifically, especially given the geography of the teams involved and the crappy transport links.

Liverpool fans were moaning that they have to go all the way down to Wembley for FA Cup semi finals and now they're moaning that they don't get to go to Wembley for something they regularly call a "Glorified Friendly"

'Liverpool fans' isn't a body with a unified view. There are thousands of them and they share differing opinions. Never understand why football fans can't get their heads around this.

I never said ALL Liverpool fans. But the fact is that there was a good chunk of them complaining about having to go all the way to Wembley

There is a rail station at the stadium. I assumed it was linked to the main station in Cov.

It is but it can only take two carriage trains because the size of the platform . It’s normally chaos post gigs at the stadium.

It’s all the blue hand rails around stair wells, ie the ones in front when you’ve just walked up the stairs into the stand and the ones behind on the rows, when sitting down it can obstruct views apparently.

 

Not the same obstructed views as you get at Anfield for example with a big RSJ Stantion right in front of your seat. ;)

£50 bit steep 😳😳 and obstructed view seats ? Where are they ?

This will give Man C excuse if they can't flog their full allocation

I'm predicting smashed up bogs and hundreds of pro labour stickers on seats

Coach travel £15, seems cheap are they subsidised?

Train strike on this day.

[HybridFox]

Doesn't look like there's gonna be any neutral tickets for this?

 

Surprising given the residents of Brent kick up such a fuss whenever there's a game at Wembley. Thought there would have been some sort of allocation for locals

Should hopefully mean a bit more spent in the city if both sets of fans stay over

Difference being Wembley is just shy of being 3x bigger than the KP.

Our FA cup final was reduced capacity of 22,000. They still took 9,500 out of that for locals.

Strange, isn't it? Given a lot of their fans boast about travelling across Europe and "seeing many things". Maybe they should switch their allegiance to Everton if it's such a pain playing at Wembley.

How busy do you reckon the centre will be tomorrow? 😂
