Master Bates Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 So who do you reckon we're going for this year? 3 way tournament between us, Goztepe and Valenciennes if Sport Republic still own us, but who else do you think we'll be playing? Pre-season camp in Serbia? Which top European team will we have at home this year? Tbf, I'd like Athletico Bilbao due to the connection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSA96 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) I’m sure I read something the other day that Montpellier are having a training camp in Catalonia and are playing Saints at the end of that (was unclear if it would be in England or Catalonia) Edited May 19 by CSA96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pre-season tournament between the 3 teams will not take place this summer. Phil Parsons, your CEO, has told me that this is not possible because of the start dates of the championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same as when Nathan fucking Jones took over during the winter break. Just like then, we don't need any training or preseason matches, just give the players a nice long holiday and it'll be fine. Relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think i'd rather that than have some of the horrible fixtures amongst that list. Seems a lot of pre-season for some teams is about getting as much revenue from tourist trap games. Spurs play Bayern twice in one week, once in South Korea and once in London. Not sure what help it will be for Palace, Wolves and West Ham to play a mini tournament in America either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same with the stupid friendly Newcastle and Spurs had, against each other, in Australia, a week after the season ended. Make that make sense.

I used to watch them when only 500 in ground and had a Eastleigh season while watching Saints as was very cheap and kids free. Apart from the anti Saints 50 odd it's almost a home and away Saints crowd. I'll be in Saints standing COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
