NickG Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 St. Mary's will host Premier League opposition on Wednesday 27th July when West Bromwich Albion visit the south coast for a 7.45pm kick-off. The Baggies finished 11th in the top flight last term with 46 points, and manager Roy Hodgson will bring his team to St. Mary's ahead of his first full season in charge of the club after taking over from Roberto Di Matteo in February of this year. Three days later, Saints will travel to Yeovil Town for a friendly against the League One outfit who held Nigel Adkins' men to a 1-1 draw on our last trip to Huish Park last season.

Dazza82 Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2368188,00.html Baggies and Yeovil
Nexstar Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 Decent games, is the Ted Bates trophy game still happening?
Spudders Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 Assume there will be a game between us and Man U as well, as part of the Chamberlain/Owen deal?
ulstersaint Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 Anyone know when the fixture list for next season is published?
LGTL Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 Anyone know when the fixture list for next season is published? 17th June.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 Bet Sibley can't wait for the Yeovil game, he is a Yeovil fan after all !

Saint-Armstrong Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 Source? Courtesy of his Facebook: He's the one on the left, this was his old profile photo, since then he replaced it with some Saints ones, and now has one without any football associations in it !
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 I nearly had a bit of a preseason fixture myself this afternoon while walking across the playing fields with my kids, a bunch of footy mad 10 years olds came up to us and issued a invitation to join in with their game - looking me up and down they said "we promise we won't be to hard on you mister" Children can be very cruel you know ......
itchen_dan Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 Details of tickets a long with information on the rest of the club's pre season schedule and pre-season tour will be announced on saintsfc.co.uk in due course http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2368188,00.html. At least we're having a pre-season tour again!
Rebel Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 I heard a whisper that we were going to be playing Celtic at St Mary's again.
Badger Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 Eastleigh and .....Cheltenham That would do nicely, says he in Gloucestershire. WBA at Home and Yeovil away 27th and 30th of July Yeovil away, so be it. West Brom at home ? B0ll0cks. Is that meant to be remotely attractive ? Personally I do not regard any prem team as a remote attraction .

Are you for real? I haven't seen any Smurfs since Sheffield Utd away. Sep 07. (Well apart from meeting Dubai Phil at London Bridge before the Charlton game.)
SaintDonkey Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 From the point of view of preparation for the season West Brom is ideal. They're pretty much the level we need to be at to gain promotion from the Championship to the Prem, and at a level that frankly I would expect to kick our butts (assuming they play a full strength team). Of course a thrashing by WBA isn't as attractive to fans as a thrashing by Juventus but a hell of a lot more valuable.

Turkish Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Who is this Jordan Sibley mug. One of Corteses yes men who i think under the old regime used to work in the club shop (although that might be the other one whose name escapes me for now, Leighton something?) He's has achieved celebrity status though due to some of the mugs on here hanging onto his every word and wetting themselves everytime he puts something on twitter.
Thedelldays Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 we expect us to play a team like inter, or barca or bayern...for no other reason than to match my expectations of the clubs ambition... if not, I will write an open letter on here of my disgust at the lack of ambition shown by the club... first printer-gate and now this...ffs
Turkish Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 I agree Jamie and am seriously underwhelmed but WBA and Yeovil. Playing Barcelona, AC Millan etc now would be give the players extra motivation and would also be good preperation for when we are in the champions league.
Thedelldays Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 if we had a "fan" on the board of directors... we would see real ambition..ffs who in football is called "nicola" and "nigel"....ffs we are becoming a no mark club very quickly ffs
Turkish Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Does it say more about the ambition of WBA and Yeovils board though? The fact they've been able to obtain a glamour friendly against the new Barcelona and Ac Milan and Bayern haven't? I think we might be witnessing the start of a shift in the power of European football.

yorkie Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 There will be more games but what is the point of trying to beat a continental team when we want to get up to speed in beating Championship sides? WBA will be a good test to see how far we have come - but we will be 10-days away from starting the season and guess they will be a few games behind us in fitness stakes. Perhaps with out Italian connections we will go there for a pre-season? Do not think Sweden/Scandinavia ever got us prepared properly - perhaps some Irish or Scottish teams to give the mighty army a chance to follow the pre-season without costing a fortune? Whatever I just get this positive feeling we are going to break our first game of the season hoo-doo - I forecast a win where ever & who ever we play! The last win was ages ago - from memory 1-0 at Coventry scorer Egil Ostenstat in the 89th minute...that's how long it has been. In Nigel and the squad I believe...stepping up a league is more than promotion it's about maintaining the momentum started when Adkins joined.
latter day saint Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 will be taking my Wolves supporting mate along to watch WBA. he has promised to wear his top as i said a bloke wearing a Hibs top got a nice reception from the Hearts fans when we played them
shurlock Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Ties against the big European tems are a joke - Leicester have Real Madrid lined up and so far welcoming it, many think its smacks of short-termism and a lack of seriousnes, a stunt pulled by owners with a low boredom threshold who want to enjoy their glitzy new plaything regardless of what is good for the club in the long-term.
Turkish Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 /\ Real Madrid were too scared to play us, in case we did to them what Barcelona did to them earlier this season and we are the new Barcelona. ITK FACT.
captainchris Posted 29 May, 2011 Posted 29 May, 2011 West Brom at SMS and Yeovil away. Must be a typo - these two teams are not non league! Don't worry Eastleigh, Farnborough, Salisbury, Poole Town and not forgetting the Swedish under 16 lumberjacks second 11 will be on the fixture list in time for end of July.......lol
Danbert Posted 30 May, 2011 Posted 30 May, 2011 You are boring. Too right, I can't believe I'm reading this. Roll on next season I want my life back.
ladysaint Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 Anyone have any news on the pre-season tour yet, last year they left it far too late to be able to arrange anything and dont really want to miss out this year, have heard that it could be Italy but nothing yet confirmed.
