Did anyone see the programme notes where it was mentioned that we could be having a match with Egyptian Premier League team Al-Ahly in the summer to raise funds for the families affected by the Egyptian accent a few weeks ago. I'd actually go to this if it wasn't just a squad game! Would anybody else?
Has this been arranged yet ? Sorry just caught the page 101 button on my phone, I wander what other threads have been banished to page 101
The original plan (if I remember correctly) was for Assem to fly the al-Ahly boys over for a game at the KC. End of the summer, but before the season started.
I still expect this game to be announced as a second home pre-season, I'm surprised it hasn't been confirmed already, I can't see Assem not fulfilling his promise.
I've been told we've paid millions to play real Madrid in a friendly. You know what that means? We can gloat that we're so good even Madrid want to play us, and that our players can hold their own vs madrids highly enthusiastic and fully commited to winning first team.
Hull City have a free weekend on 8th sept. for this fixture. It would keep the non-Internationals ticking over during International shut-down period.
Including young internationals: Potentially both our keepers McShane Cooper (Scotland U19/U21) Dudgeon (N. Ireland U21?) Evans Olofinjana (if he's ever fit he might be) Cairney (Scotland U21s) Stewart possibly, if he accepts a call up Koren retired at the end of their qualifying campaign for the Euros.
