Tickets for the Tigers' pre-season friendly against FC Nantes will go on sale at 9am on Tuesday 11thJuly. Leonid Slutsky's side host the French club on Tuesday 25th July at Hull Kingston Rovers' KCOM Craven Park (KO 7.30pm) in what is the only pre-season fixture on English soil ahead of the start of the Championship campaign. The game is being played in the east of the city to allow the pitch at the KCOM Stadium as much clear time as possible to recover following summer renovation work. Initially, tickets will only be available to buy in person from Tiger Leisure stores at the KCOM Stadium and Prospect Shopping Centre and are priced £12 for all parts of the ground. Terrace and seating tickets will be available.
Maybe it's the trainspotter in me. They were like pre pubescent sex for me in the 70's, they were mesmerising watching them play at Wembley on our new colour tv for the first (I think) of their 3 European Cup wins.The kit was like no one elses I'd ever seen at Boothferry Park, their players didn't wear shin pads and had their socks rolled down, and wore their shirts outside of their shorts. And their football was ****ING MAGICAL. Then Bayern came along, before the English clubs had that golden spell. But Ajax had captured my imagination. It was always a dream then that we might play Ajax one day. In my dreams. And then **** me, we have a friendly in Old Amsterdam no less! Behind closed doors. WTF. Just doesn't feel to me that TigerPlayer will be quite as an attractive prospect.
My abiding memory of the European cups was jacky charltons co comm. they were called Ajax like the kitchen cleaner. Not this Ayeax bollocks.
So we can't buy online? What a pain. And would love a trip to Amsterdam for the Ajax game, absolute perfect away trip if based in east yorks.
There was a golden spell for English clubs in the early 80s, there just wasn't one this century when everyone claimed there was.
