    It was, is and always will be The Charity Shield in my book. Shame the FA are such tightwads they can no longer use that name.

    Five stadiums left. 

    One has hosted six times, another five times. The third has hosted twice and the remaining two have hosted once each, but are both considered to have been the home ground of a single club, 51 years apart.

    Well that’s embarrassing. 

    I just cross referenced my source with another and there are multiple missing stadiums from my original list!

    The stadium to have hosted twice in the 50s was Molineux.

    The stadiums that my original source missed were:

    - St James’ Park in 1932.
    - Roker Park in 1936.
    - Burnden Park in 1958.
    - Turf Moor in 1960.
    - Portman Road in 1962.
    - Anfield in 1964.
    - Elland Road in 1969 (sorry @ForeverAddickted !)
