Pre-season friendly rumour and discussion

[Jolly Buffer]

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

Portugal again would be great for me.
They could have it on the Moon for all I care coz I'm going to be there.

Worksop Town/Handsworth Parramore

Simply so I can get smashed and wobble home.

 

[BladeInIreland]

I’d like to see if we can beat Walsall, see how we have progressed.

 

[Cruyff Turn]

Itinery just released...

Rotterdam

Anywhere

Liverpool

Rome

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Portugal - dont change what works.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

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

well done - it's started

UTB

 

[Ted Danson]

Fenerbache , weekend in Istanbul

I really wanted us to do a return leg of that friendly but went to Istanbul last year and didn't really like it so wouldn't go back

 

[Fulwood Blade]

This.

Indeed - that is until someone offers us a 4 team pre-season tournament in Germany.

It may be the closest we come to "Europe" but it would be a nice little earner and a decent trip

Honestly ? I suppose it helps me that I know a few if the lads from the resorts so when I went they looked after me

Yeah just not my thing. Huge city that consists solely of mosques, handbag shops and high pressure rug sales. Far too many people around, dirty and hard to get a pint in some places.

Nice kebabs though

Now were a PL club you will get stupid fees offered for us to play in those silly pre season mini league tours that the PL clubs take part in.

Friday 26th July Sheffield FC vs United XI.

That's the only one I've spotted so far.

 

[bromtom]

We're playing Rotherham aren't we? Sure Rotherham announced that somewhere, or a staff member for one of our clubs.

 

[Killamarshblades]

Think Chesterfield did.

Will most likely be playing in the Algarve, some point in w/c 8 July. Maybe the thursday or friday against Betis

 

[SUFC Guy]

Hopefully Barnet is on the list

Chesterfield, the stickied thread will be up before long

 

[Killamarshblades]

Imagine we'll have an overseas team at the lane the week before the season starts, which seems to be the norm these days

 

[Akinbiyi]

We're going back to Portugal so everyone save a bit of spending money. Playing a team in green.

Sheridan definitely confirmed we’d play Chesterfield pre season.

I’d heard we’ll have 2 games in the Algarve this time. One game early week and second I believe on the Friday, probably 12/7 ( which is exact date as last year !)

 

[Whiston Blade]

Next season we'll be invited to play in Asia for some shitty tournament to be televised on Sky Sports

Would make sense, as they are scheduled to fly out on the 5th. As with these things, anything can change

The Premier League Asia Trophy is Biennial. It is being played in 2019. So, the earliest we can be invited would be 2021, unless they change the format.

I got the impression we’ll play in Portugal this pre season, we need to keep a keen eye on this, cause they’ll up the plane fares quick once it’s announced..

 

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

I understand there may be a superb article in the Carrier Bag Firm Come At It Sideways section of the forthcoming Dem Blades Subscription #2 Fanzine, detailing a cast iron way of finding out pre season dates. Unless Steve Mackan leaves it on the cutting room floor....

Any dates and locations. Fancy a trip.

Can we organise a forum group package?

Can we have a hidden section for this Foxy

SPS will be a certain

They usually save that for mid table sides, expect Leicester/Newcastle/Everton/Southampton to be in that

There's no such thing as a friendly against those scrubbers.
