Pre-season friendly rumour and discussion

[YouFUMS]

Anyone got any early info on when/where the pre-season warm up will be this summer?
Really enjoyed the Portugal trip last year in early July, so I'm hoping for something similar.

I need to book time off work as early as possible to make sure I can have it off (fnarrr fnarrr)

If anyone hears anything, please let us know...cheers

Obviously I personally would love a tour to the States for the Blades. But in general who or where else would my fellow Blades like to go see us in Preseason?

We should give some of the smaller local teams [who could use the cash] a game, you know Sheffield FC, Hallam, Pigs etc

 

[wavy-blade]

I know we're booked to play chesterfield in a preseason match , not sure if we will be the 1st premiership team to play at the protac ?

Premiership team sounds good that

Bit harsh on Sheffield FC and Hallam to put them alongside such a shite little club

It’s going to be similar if not identical to last years foreign trip.

The Netherlands.

Boozy, stoned train journeys from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, Eindhoven, Utrecht etc. That's the dream.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Australia like under Bassett! Might find the next Dougie or Veart

 

[NotTheSharpest]

Italy basing themselves in the town of Vigevano just outside Milan. A few games against the local teams and a tour of the town brewery - you know it makes sense......

 

[Pompey_Blade]

Got to be Netherlands!

We played 12th July. My wedding anniversary and yes I went !

[Killamarshblades]

This.

Portugal for training. Friendly against Real Betis is the plan at the minute. Not sure if that'll be in the Seville region or in Portugal

 

[fireblade]

It’s going to be in Italy, Rome to be precise.
To coincide with the audience the Pope has requested, to meet the new St Christopher and his miracle workers from Sheffield.

 

[S5Blade]

I selfishly hope it's Portugal or Spain again. Driving distance pleaseeee

 

[metty]

I'm looking forward to another jaunt on the Iberian Peninsular.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Portugal for training. Friendly organised by Steve Bettis is the plan at the minute.
