An alternative perspective:
Maybe the Charity Shield at the start of each season should comprise of a North/South team all-stars. More inclusive for all fans and not just the fans of the league champions and FA Cup Winners. Hey, maybe All proceeds of the match could go to charities rather than most of the money raised being divided by the usual money grabbing ellite clubs. The all star teams could be managed by the manager of the year and the runner up.
Who knows, ths all star charity match at Wembley may even be a full house for a change.
Just saying
I'm pretty all sure most of the money does go to charity.
I rarely watch the charity shield if it was a random North v South thing is be less likely to watch it as it would be even more meaningless. Also what would be in for the club's? Give up your players and managers at the beginning of the season and you won't even get a trophy, glory or be able to use it as a more competitive friendly
