Talk:1973 FA Charity Shield

Untitled section
Following the normal logic 1973 FA Charity shield should have been contested by Sunderland and Liverpool. The competition was not so highly regarded and teams seldom did not want to participate. From what I understand invitations were then extended. City were invited as holders of the Shield and Burnley for having just won the 2nd Division Championship. BUT is there a reliable source for this? (Msrasnw (talk) 22:28, 3 August 2011 (UTC))
