Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup

Couldn't see anything about it so i thought i might give it a mention.

This saturday we have the second Markus Leibherr trophy and the chance to see our beloved saints back in action. I went to the first one and found it a very good way to spend what was a lovely sunny summers evening although i doubt the weather will be the same this time around. A good chance to see the majority of the saints sqaud in action, with ofcourse our new additions in Jay Rodriguez and Steven Davis, maybe even a couple more if we're lucky. I am looking forward to seeing us pitch oursleves against Arsenal and Anderlecht with the added excitement of the Olympic Torch that will be making it's way round the pitch although i'm not sure what time.

Hopefully this year there will be a bigger crowd as it is a good bit of fun to have and we might actually get a band of away fans this time. Anyone else planning to go ?

Will the flag of Markus come back out ?

Torch is due at pitch side around 6.30pm after visiting the IOW earlier that afternoon.

 

About what time should the proceedings finish? I have to be at work by 22:00 hate to have to leave early!

 

Saints vs Arsenal kicks off at 8pm I think, with a 45 minute game along with trophy proceedings, so it all should be finished by 9.15 latest

 

This is the first time i have gone to this tournament and i'm taking my 7yr old and his mate.
Those who have been before, Whats the format before KO is there anything going on outside the stadium etc or is it just K.O as it says on the tickets?

Thanks in advance

 

Last year were lots of things behind the Kingsland stand to entertain children.

 

Thanks. Thats what i was hoping for.

 

Hope so, I don't want to miss anything.

 

Hoping for a better turn out than last year.

 

Anyone know the plan for the afternoon?


Times etc...

Was a page on the OS but can't find it :/

 

There is a small bit at the bottom of this page with the times of the matches, almost missed it myself.

Looking forward to seeing the players in action again. Reckon we'll do a total team reshuffle at half time and see a good bit of everyone like we have in previous pre-season games. Looking forward to seeing the new signings and the kids we've heard so much about.

 

With 45 min games there won't be an actual half-time, but expect full scale changes between the teams v Arsenal and v. Anderlecht. Wish I could go...should be an interesting and informative day.
