Manchester City fan groups are keeping up the pressure on the FA and broadcasters by arranging a screening of the Community Shield at an iconic city centre venue.
The 1894 fan group have encouraged supporters to consider boycotting the Community Shield clash with Arsenal on Sunday August 6 after growing increasingly frustrated at key games being scheduled at inconvenient times - particularly for showpiece fixtures at Wembley.
The Community Shield was originally scheduled for 5.30pm on the Sunday, but a backlash from City fans over understandable travel concerns - there would be a considerable lack of public transport options to return on the day - saw the FA backtrack and change the kick-off time to 4pm.
