Were they originally supposed to be playing Wendy then? When/why did they switch to playing us?

They finished fourth in the Greek Superleague last season, above perennial champions league qualifiers Panathinaikos. Should be a decent test.

 

[Mad Mick]

Lol I reckon they've got their teams mixed up.
There gonna be in for a shock when they turn up at piggieland, and there's no one there.

 

[GAZBLADE]

I think there may be a couple of Brazilian players in their squad, so, if they did turn up at the sty, at least growing up with the Maracana as their national stadium, they'll be used to seeing a stadium equally as impressive!!

Not had the best of times in england, lost to both Barnsley and Wigan so far.

Maybe Wednesday cancelled because of the very lucrative Rangers friendly.

wednesday fans dissed our tour of scotland yet they are playing a scottish second division club, wonkers

 

[chesblade]

Apparently this is being shown on Greek tv. Inlaws just phoned up to check it was correct as
Advertised for Friday night tv

sweet. Should get a internet feed then

 

[highpeakblade]

Our first opposition of the season Notts County are online right now against Rayo Vallecano. They are losing 2-1 but were 1-0 up until the 50th or so minute and to be fair they look really well this year.

Think Wednesday will have the last laugh on that one.

Rangers meant to be bringing 5,000 fans. We didn't get any revenue from the away tour. Can't see United taking 5,000 to the Atromitos game and we're at home

And the rest - they've sold 5,000 tickets, were refused more so have bought in the home end - in sufficient numbers for SYPD to tell them which turnstiles to use in the home end!

In Greece. Just got Dubai satellite tv!
What channel is it on? Maybe I can get it on Internet.

 

[Jehovah]

Im going to this. If we don't win by 6 that's me done.

 

[chesblade]

They live in Cyprus and it's on Nova sports

 

[Kenilworth]

I see that copper has got one of our new away shirts on him.

Bloody hell how did they managed to incorporate CS gas and radios into the shirt design

It's pepper spray. So they can spray it in your eyes to spare you having to look at the shit new shirt.

Like this?

 

[Houso]

Anyone able to confirm what time kickoff is?

I'm strangely looking forward to this...

It's a 7.30 kick off.

I'm looking forward to it too. I think it'll be a decent game and hearing Gary Sinclair attempting to pronounce their players' names should be fun! Especially with the likes of Theodoros Papoutsoviannopoulos

 

[Houso]

Thanks for that!

 

[blade too long]

their ground has a capacity of 10000 , be in awe of our place, but they did well to finish 4th, they wont be mugs

 

[SBSP]

2013–14 season[edit]

In warm up to the 2013-14 season Atromitos scheduled a pre-season friendly against current holders of the Steel City Cup - Sheffield United, arguably their toughest game to date.

Pulled from their Wiki page. Wonder if anyone from Sheffield has had a hand in that?

 

[Oreyt]

I presume the York game is likely to be a reserves\kiddywinks team in light of this being arranged?

With the likes of Walter Iglesias and Stefano Napoleoni, he should be in his element

I see they're 172nd in UEFA's club rankings around the likes of Limassol of Cyprus and Macabbi Tel-Aviv although you can probably take a lot of it with a pinch of salt given that Portsmouth are 91st
