King Power Stadium To Host 2022 FA Community Shield

[MalletFox]

Will be interesting to see how they segregate the KP. You might naturally think one end will run up around the Kop and half way down the East stand, and the other half along the family stand to be the other team (like below picture) … but the concourse from L1 runs all the way through to SK1 so not sure that’s even viable?

Wont they get like 8 thousand tickets each?

Ahhhh yes, quite possibly. In which case easily down with one having family stand and away section and the other having the Kop of guess! 👍🏻

I'm fearful for the Vichai statue getting "scoused" to be honest.

Concern of mine too.

 

I wonder which team will get the home changing room and which gets the shit one with the added pillar in the middle

Just another thread of a load of stereotypical horseshit I see

What does that mean? “Scoused”

[Corky]

Nothing will happen to the statue. Why would it?

[FoyleFox]

Great news for the profile of the club and City. And a boost of income to the local businesses.

Yep.

 

Rather saddening the amount of provincial prejudice that still exists.

Have there been any problems with it so far? No traffic cones on his head or anything? No? Wow. Good.

[FoxFossil]

Would have thought Bramall Lane, Sheffield would have made a lot more sense. Imagine if we'd had to play in say Bristol. Bit weird alround.

[Guest Mee-9]

Can’t really see the problem in this.

 

Hosting high profile matches helps boost the need for expansion also.

I love that. I read about a german team once, I can't remember which, that had a huge pillar in the middle of the dressing room so the manager couldn't talk to everyone at once. 

 

Also, painting the walls black and switching the lights off and the heating right up.

 

Beautiful lovely shithousery. Groin tingling.

It won’t cost much to put a few temporary shutters in place.

That’s precisely what Leicester have. Big white pillar in the middle with no purpose other than to divide the team.

[CUJimmy]

Will we be the only club to host it at two different grounds?

Given these are two well-supported teams in the north (ok, north-west), I'm just a little surprised they've not gone for a larger stadium in the north. If not OT, why not Leeds or even Newcastle or Sunderland? 

Oh yes Newcastle - the new powerhouse of english football......

What's a catagority

 

It's those small errors that distinguish between real and fake tickets.

[Raj]

Is this cos we are holders?

Maybe something  new the FA is going to start doing?

Completely stupid decision even if it benefits us.

 

Transport links from Leicester to the North West are terrible at the best of times.

 

30000 Mancs and Scousers on a Saturday Evening at a stadium where there’s no natural segregation in the area around the ground is a recipe for trouble.

 

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).

There are artificial walls/dividers they can use in the concourses. I have seen them set up before.

[lebleu]

I’m actually interested in the kind of atmosphere it will generate with what could be 2 full ends providing vocal support. If the sound travels more than the pockets we currently have.

Wembley isn’t available because of womens euro final 

 

fa will not want to lose Wembley income 

 

thinking about this, if they get the ticket/seating allocation right this could be the best match atmosphere in an English ground since the fa cup finals were taken to Wembley
