As pre-season friendlies go should be good challenges against accomplished teams in their own leagues. Mind you Bournemouth have Real Madrid on 21st July - prices start at £55 for st holders and £60 for anyone else. A tad on the expensive side for a friendly. My brother in law's son has already got his 2 boys down as mascots to walk out with the Real team. That has cost him a table for 10 in hospitality at around £2k.
