Squad off to Barca trip thread...

Just talked with a colleague of mine and our office is about 1km from where Saints are spending the week....Ha said that MP would be awsome for Saints - he is well respected in Spain and also said that if we got some of the players linked with us - former Espanyol players - then Saints is going places. He also knew the Score vs Everton so it seems Saints are getting a lot of media time in Spain.

Aren't they going to the Olympic Stadium on Montjuic?

 

I think Espanyol used that for a while when they moved out La Sarria before moving to their new ground.

 

Allegedly Espanyol's new ground is based on St Mary's after their visit in 2001.

Correct. Saw a game there on my stag do to Barca. Atmosphere-less stadium. Fun beers in the sun though.

Been to Nou Camp a few times too. They have bar heaters in the stadium roof to keep the fans warm. Amazing atmosphere. Great views.

Was in Barca again just before Christmas. Hope the lads have some good tapas.

Bit tinpot -we're a premiership club, not a bunch of starry-eyed jap tourists. There's healthy respect and then there's being patronised. Long gone are the days where Bally and Cruyff would be talking behind closed doors and we'd be picking up a bargain.
