Portugal - Real Betis 12th July

[Ainsley Harriott]

If I'm wrong I will delete and you will never hear a peep from me again! With the way the club are going about this fixture Area 51 wouldn't be an unreasonable venue, they seem to be trying their hardest to keep it under wraps.

Same as last year. They left details out of public domain until late on.

So is it Algarve or Seville?

Blades website states Portugal (twice) on the preseason page.

What’s happened? Have we appointed Wilson again?

Nooooooo, ffs. Foxy loosely hinted that Hackey Blade is on the button, well sort of re Portugal.

Thank fuck for that. I just saw people waving shoes and shat myself.

 

[Blade56]

Hang on a minute, Hackey Blade HackeyBlade hacky et al, are you all Richard Cadette ?

Oh do keep up GoM

 

[ourbob]

Promise not to buy you one if you do it again

Think it could be played at the stadium nearer to Albufiera, the one the pigs play at when over there.
Seen something today.

Ainsley Harriott said he’d had info it was in Sevilla...

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Mrs. Joe tells me that Kean Bryan's second cousins hairdresser says it's both , but knowing how picky some of you are when it comes to ITK , I'm sure there will still be doubters ........

Can't see what's wrong with the eatadio municipal Albufiera.
Holds 5k.

3.5k it holds. It was rammed last year when we played Maritimo, can see it being even worse now we're playing a bigger club. Algarve stadium is the right choice IMO. Although now we're less than a month until the supposed date it would be very interesting to see how many Blades go.

 

[BadgersBigToe]

Played at Estadio Municipal Da Bela Vista last year.....different ground to Estadio Municipal Da Albufeira

So they did, apologies OurBob. Had a few sherberts on that trip and just knew it was a Municipal Ground

 

[BadgersBigToe]

BTW...still think 5k capacity may be tight. More importantly though, there are no bars anyway near Estadio Algarve

We stopped in Portimao last year and drove past the ground in a taxi from Faro. It looked like there wasn't a great deal nearby but didn't get a good look.

 

[Tom Smith]

Don’t forget Real Betis average 45k fans and it’s much closer for them, I’d be surprised if they didn’t bring a few fans. Plus more blades fans traveling than last year, no chance it could be held at the Bela vista like last year so only reasonable one is Estádio Algarve like previously suggested

 

[BadgersBigToe]

Searching for nearest Aldi just in case

 

[GallonofMagnet]

How much notice will we get this year from the club?

 

[BadgersBigToe]

Less than a month

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

I reckon there was around 1,500 blades at the game last year. Don’t think Spanish fans travel in numbers for friendly games so imagine same ground will suit.

 

[Blade56]

Seen something today.

Wtf Bob? What did you see?

 

[Dongivensmademecry]

all aboard the special get off parque das cidades

 

[Tom Smith]

Confirmed Estádio Algarve. Holds 30k
