Real Madrid rumoured to be playing Leicester in a friendly on July 30th. Surely it isnt them coming to the Memorial Cup?Fingers crossed.
Real Betis are playing Swansea on the 6th August. I'd imagine they would do a tour of the UK. http://www.swanseacity.net/page/Latest/0,,10354~2373823,00.html Could they be the La Liga team?
Did Real Betis get promoted,as they werent in La Liga last season? Any of the top 7 from La Liga would be great,plus one of the big 8 Premier League sides.
Yeah Real Betis won the Spanish second division last season. I wouldn't be surprised if it were them, although that would mean they would be touring the UK for two weeks...
Lol,there was no love lost that day between Saints and Everton. Went up there in a double decker bus that was crammed full,and came back half empty,all the rest got nicked.
Remember a match against Everton at The Dell. The away fans had access to the family section and a steward told me to pick up my handbag because of the Liverpudlians! Probably slanderous but he was very serious.
I just thought about whether the club would bother segregating fans? Bilbao are a big club and are bound to have a handful of devotees who follow them around the world and i'm sure some ex-pats will be in attendance. Whilst it would be nice for fans to mix a la Cricket & Rugby, the nice part of football segregation is the fans sitting and singing together. I assume the premier league side will get the Northam, will the Athletic get the chapel?
Imagine Bilboa will not bring many fans, so both sets of opposition fans can be together in Northam perhaps with a few rows between them. I presume they won't open all stands unless needed.
I don't think well see much away suport. I'll be Surprised if attendances top 15000 tbh, unless its free entrance.
We've had one free match..NC has probably still not got over the shock. Did you see his glazed expression at the awards dinner!. Hopefully, won't be too dear in order to encourage attendance. Depend what costs we have to meet for the visiting teams.
