Charity Shield possibly to be held overseas in future

[Bruce Wayne]

Honest to god Bruce, I have no recollection of that.

The Charity Shield means squat to me. Could play it on the moon for all I care!

Bet none of us back then thought that would be our last trophy

We should play it on a local park with no changies to highlight the glaring inequality between top level football and the set-ups that feed it.

See, I would have said the FA Cup was our last one! Proper bad fan me.

Sounds like a great idea to me. It's a nothing match.

So long as it's not held in a really hot country just before the season starts, I don't really mind

It's a friendly at the end of the day

I was watching Wolves Vs Norwich instead yesterday as that had actual stakes was important

I find it funny that the FA are trying their best to make it seem like they're arsed about improving the English game, yet they choose McDonald's as their partner for the Community Shield.

Take it abroad and the F A cup and league cup finals. Greedy bar stools

I think that each team at the start of the season should nominate an external charity, then any money made by the flogging of our game abroad, should be paid to them, with largest percentages going the two competitors, but with all named a getting a cut. Much better to call it the charity shield again, than call it a community shield while doing nothing for my communities outside of wembley.
