Friendly in Austria

It's always been a dream of mine to see a Saudi Arabian club side, but alas I won't be able to go.

What a stunning view.

Just looks like Shirecliffe

I really get the impression, and I hope that I'm wrong, that the club doesn't really want our fans to attend pre-season matches abroad and make it tricky as possible for us to make it with such short notice.

I can understand that if that's the case if the players/management want some privacy I just think they should be a bit more honest about it and have it played behind closed doors.

It’s felt like this for years. Like certain people find us a nuisance. Watched United in Malta x3, Holland, Spain, Portugal and Hungary (almost - called off just before kick off). Never felt particularly welcome at any of them by the club. One of the Malta ones had a couple of events that they put on for fans who booked the trip with the club (blades travel - remember that travel agent in the back of the club shop ). But there’s been nothing like that since. And there’s numerous clubs below us in pyramid doing well planned tours of various countries around the world.

It just seems like the people responsible for sorting it don’t attend to it early enough. So it all gets very last minute and fans aren’t given a single thought.

Hopefully under the new owners they see it as a bit of exposure for the club getting us out to different places.

This says they are yet to announce 2 games. But already have a game on 2nd August

The other game, they were hoping for Panethonycos I believe, but they are in European qualification, so it can't happen yet.

Hopefully if Donny airport gets the full green light and they have some decent destinations, I would like us to have that type of Malta set-up, it could easily be done. Somewhere like Croatia, Spain or Portugal is always a good start, the players going for 2 weeks. Then you could build on that, if you partnered with hotels and had say 3 fixtures Sun, Wed, Fri people could fly Saturday to Saturday. If announced with enough time i.e. not the week before but Christmas, it could easily be done to coincide with the start of school holidays.

Yeah it really shouldn’t be difficult. Loads of smaller teams do it. Latvia, Finland, Italy, Austria etc. Club have just never pushed it.

Remember when we gave Didzy a trial
Is this game to see if Christiano had still got it before we sign him ????

A road trip on the channel tunnel looks very appealing

Was thinking the same mattbianco1. Nearly a thousand miles from Sheffield to Grunau via the channel tunnel.
I drove to Lisbon two years ago, would love to do a similar trip again.

Christ. Imagine the spam our socials will get if Robbo spanks Ronaldo into row Z inside 15 minutes. We'll be begging for the Hamza lot back.

Then downs a can of Pepsi as the giraffe necked Cnut lays there rolling around

Is it a fever dream of mine? But in contrast. Didn’t Warnock have us playing Basegreen/Frecheville one year?
