Watford Short News Items

He is one of the few that fits the owners plan of buying young and selling for a large profit ,but he cant get time on the pitch with us .

 

I wonder if he needed to get more experience and may be becoming a stronger player......

 

Would rather have him back than have Barton.

 

OMG yes

 

i Think of barton like savage every team needs someone to give you that bit of bite but more like Roy kean than that animal from liverpool

 

I wish you wouldn't be so unkind to animals!

Even if you are not well up on accounts this is a must read for all of us and it will take time but worth every min

 

Excellent article -one of the best I have seen to go into financial details and depths yet remain interesting and readable

 

Also good to see somebody support us on Talksport - mind you it was Gab Marcotti who is half Italian and actually does know stuff outside of the Premier league.

 

I am more disappointed that the excellent Mr Marcotti would lower himself to appear on Talksport!

 

Just for you Cologne. The club appreciate your support.

Hornets confirm a week's work in Germany as they step up their Premier League preparations...
WATFORD FC will travel to Germany in mid-July for a week of pre-season training and friendly fixtures.
The Hornets are set to take on Bundesliga 2 sides Eintracht Braunsweig (Eintracht-Stadion, Friday July 17) and SC Paderborn 07 (Benteler Arena, Sunday July 19).

The club is also in talks to finalise a further friendly fixture during the trip, as its Premier League pre-season schedule takes shape.

Kick-off times will be confirmed in due course.

 

Cheers Frenchie, I will note these in my diary. Both towns are easily reachable in a day (there and back) by train from Cologne. Paderborn has a cathedral and was one of the 4 bishoprics of Catholicism in Westphalia and the Rhineland - the others were Münster, Cologne and Trier. The town has an old part to it and is well worth a visit. Braunschweig is a University City - my wife's son studied there.

 

Thanks Frenchie... being jobless this summer, I was tempted to go over for the preseason, but as I don't drive not too sure how easy they would be to get to

 

They are not difficult Kev. I always travel between Britain and Germany by train. From St. Pancras International it is 2 hours to Brussels - change and then another 2 hours to Cologne. Paderborn is on the railway route from Cologne/Düsseldorf to Leipzig or Dresden (about 90mins-2hours). For Braunschweig I would have to change in Dortmund or Hamm (If flying it would be more practical to fly to Hannover).

 

Thanks Cologne

I was looking at flights to Paderborn and it was suggesting to fly to Munich then onto Paderborn. I might look into it a bit more and see how doable it really is, and defintiely will have to look at trains

 

I have the leave... alas I do not have the sponds.

 

2 teams who have been in the top flight but relegated - might prepare us well for the relegation battle!?

 

i've heard the 1881 may be doing a coach trip...i'll keep my ear to the ground on that one!
