Anyone heard anything about where our pre season friendlies are yet?

I've heard rumours of Portugal or Hamburg for the tour but nothing about UK friendlies.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a game at Kiddy after postponement of game scheduled for 1 August 2017

I bet the players are glad that there will probably be no mountaineering this year

I go every year to IOM. Some of the people are a bit odd. But Quid's Inn in Douglas

is the cheapest pub I have ever been to!

Please be Germany. Got friends in Munich I could visit. Would be ideal - and there's mountains in the south!

Looks like a home based pre season and a training camp in Portugal

Pleased that it looks like there will be a home friendly, I'll probably do one of Barnet /Swindon too.

If its Union Berlin, that's a fair old hike from Munich.
Union Berlin finished 8th in the second division. When the city was divided, it was in the communist East part of the city. Wonder if they'll organise some more games in Germany whilst they are there.

Amazed they have announced they won't be having any overseas friendly games.

Rangers at home for the final pre season friendly before the season kicks off now Stevie G is their gaffer I'll keep a close eye on them.

No way on this Earth will there be a Rangers friendly.

TheBrom · « **Reply #20 on:** May 26, 2018, 01:38:26 PM »

Warnock was on the radio the other day talking about pre season and he said Cardiff attempted to get a friendly with Rangers but apparently their season starts a lot earlier so the dates wouldnâ€™t fit. Doubt weâ€™d be able to squeeze it in either.

Was it Rangers or Celtic who sort of destroyed Birmingham city centre many years ago before a friendly at I think seal park?

Yep.
Also saw them when they played at Derby a few years back. Rangers buses parked everywhere and so right states getting off them they were so p8ssed !

Just removed a couple of posts, maybe time for some to have another read of our rules, if you want to start a Rangers/ Celtic discussion then I can point you in the direction of Facebook as we do not want it on here.
