Administrator Stan Posted June 1, 2022 Administrator Share Posted June 1, 2022 Odd to have it here. Perhaps it's a new thing that will happen where the holders will host the following season? Don't ruin my seat whoever goes. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Blue Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 That's a bit crap, the Millennium stadium would of been a better venue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted June 1, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted June 1, 2022 Apparently it's not at Wembley because of the Women's Euros final the day after, which is understandable. @Happy Blue - agree, although not sure if it's easier to get to Cardiff from Manchester/Liverpool than it is to get to Leicester. Old Trafford would be the ideal option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It should be at Villa Park, but okay. Somehow it manages to be closer to us (both Manchester and Liverpool) than London, but still requires more connections by train - weird how that works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from Liverpool you change at Nuneaton - I was actually wrong, I think it's the same number of connections (cos with London if you want to get to Wembley by train, it's the train to the tube right?) so one change each. I guess it's not too big of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much rather that than having to change trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in the northwest though, but yeah the train to/from London isn't bad and the tube is certainly easy - even if you're painfully hungover and have just landed at Heathrow after a painfully long flight.

There was some ridiculous stat not that long ago, it was quite specific but there was some village in Cornwall that has direct trains to more of the top 15 cities in the UK by population than Leicester does. You can't get a direct train from Leicester to Coventry. It's so poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll be back out of the UK sometime next week, so I probably won't be at the community shield (although tbh it would be very cool since the last time I actually saw Liverpool play live was something like 8 or 9 years ago). That's mental about the village in Cornwall having more direct trains than Leicester or not being able to get a direct train to fucking Coventry from Leicester though!

If I can get a ticket part of me is tempted to go down to be honest. Be quite a surreal experience. Yeah Leicester's trains are a joke. I think in terms of big cities the only ones we can go directly to are London, Birmingham, Sheffield, Nottingham and Derby. There's something like one a week to Leeds too. For a big, central city it's garbage. London is the only one you can get back from a midweek game if you trained it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 We possibly have a few players leaving this summer so a line up is hard to predict but leaving the rumoured departures out (Jesus, Sterling, Zinc, Gundogan,) don't see Gundogan leaving but will exclude him anyway, hopefully we will have a few midfielders signed by then too Ederson Walker - Dias - Laporte - Cancelo De Bruyne - Rodrigo - Bernardo Alvarez - Haaland - Foden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
