Another European friendly. August 3rd ?

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

I knew this but totally forgot about it. Went to bed and knew I couldn't edit my post. But thanks for the confirmation all the same.

Any chance you guys can come at it sideways and find out?

Well..... I can link you to this excellent Bundesliga website, where you can work out who it won't be.

I'd take Al Wasl away or even at a push, Al Ain!

RB Leipzig,there free on 3rd Aug.

 

[Killamarshblades]

RB Leipzig. Most likely 1or 2 August, as it stands its planned to be behind closed doors. Hopefully that will change though!!

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

I fancy a trip to Monchengladbach as Terry from The Likely Lads was stationed there in the army and he made it sound really nice.
Or what about Bochum seeing as we already have their Parkway.

 

[Jacobsenthecrab]

Hope it's a French one, we have done the Dutch before. I fancy a road trip.

Driving through France to Italy on the 3rd, anything north of Lyon would be handy

I have unfinished business in Bochum, he said darkly!

Please tell, you can’t leave us guessing.

I am guessing it is to do with a shipment of Nazi Gold

I can understand naming a road Donetsk Parkway. Both cities have a River Don. But why do we have a Bochum Parkway?

Apparently we've been twinned with them since 50's due to both our industrial heritages. They have a "Sheffield Ring" there.

We lost 5-2 and I was fooled by certain people into learning a chat up line parrot fashion that actually translated as being, "I have come in a collapsible canoe". I'd like to meet them again with an axe.

Sounds like a Monty Python sketch. “My hovercraft is full of eels, bouncy bouncy”.

It is where Blunkett got his dog from

I remember listening to Radio Sheffield at the time Bochum Parkway was named, they were asking members of the public what they thought of the idea. One bloke responded by saying that he’d been to Bochum several years previously but at the time he was 20 thousand feet up and flying in a Lancaster Bomber.

Bochum has a decent party street, but very industrial and now concretey. Blame the Grandads.. not far from Schalke, BVB, Fortuna, Monchen etc. No decent beer culture of its own ie no Kolsch or Alt etc. About 3-4 hours train from Brussels from memory and easy route.

Didn’t see the Sheffield ring, but then those days are long gone, as our lass keeps reminding me...

[BLADES1988]

Looks bollocks, they've been shafted there....

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

RB Leipzig,there free on 3rd Aug.

Not now. Villa just announced playing there that day

Still hopeful of a decent one !

 

[Rodley]

Bochum or Moechengladbach would be great. The former is a bit of a British style ground and the latter has a fantastic reputation in terms of atmosphere. Just hope the ultras turnout for them and then we’ll be in for a treat noise wise.

Villa pinching players and now pre-season games.

Looking likely

 

[John Snow]

Handsworth Blades are running a coach to Lille for the game. £60 return Inc cost of tunnel. Check their Facebook page.

 

[Akinbiyi]

I’ve been told it’s Lille but we might not be playing Lille

 

[John Snow]

That would be a Lille bit of a shame.
