Interesting that we're playing two Red Bull teams, any potential sponsorship link there?

I f*cking hope not.

[Saint Charlie]

Some decent opposition, no point bothering with League One oppo over here really.

 

Tight run of games around the Europa League stuff though so will be chances for a few younger players to proove their worth.

[Pilchards]

I'm not sure why we are going to Holland again, do we have a Dutch connection or something?

[Sour Mash]

Surprised we've gone for so many abroad what with a couple of European trips by the end of August as well.

[eddie]

I am very up for this. Currently looking at tickets !

I swear it's a coincidence that I'm arriving in Salzburg on the 10th of July and leaving on the 12th.

The days when travel to Europe was an expedition are long past. Many European airports are as easy to get to as Manchester or Newcastle so I wouldn't think the club feel it matters too much where they go, especially as The Netherlands is so close. I sometimes commute to Paris or Brussels for the day, which at one time would have been unthinkable.

I didn't say it was an expedition. Potentially 6 games in Europe by the end of August is a lot though.

I'll be at the Leipzig game...

[View From The Top]

I'll be taking the lad to Rotterdam via Amsterdam. That'll open his eyes to the world.

[Sour Mash]

Espanyol as the home game on the 2nd of August.

 

Not a glamourous fixture, but will do the job in terms of pre-season, hopefully really cheap tickets.

[Andy Durman]

See you there Alpine

[Andy Durman]

Do you think Saints will fly in on the day of The match against Leipzig??? or will they arrive the day before and train???

 

I'll go for both games and also want to watch them train

You'd hope so, especially given none of our first team squad will be playing.
