Admin phantom Posted April 26, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 1 hour ago, Bar BS3 said: Not only a long waiting list but also a massive "match fee" Didn't Bournemouth have to pay Real Madrid £2million or something for their pre season friendly a couple of seasons back. Then had to charge £60 a ticket to help cover it. Hardly worth it. Part of the problem with that game was they had just under 12k seats available, at least we could double that - so maybe £30 a ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Would make a guess we might play Plymouth this summer; newly promoted, close by and seem to have a decent link with them thanks to loaning them players. Would be nice to see someone like Southampton head to Ashton Gate; established Premier League team and could bring a few fans along due to proximity.

cidered abroad Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have suggested this before but here goes again. Bristol is twinned with Hanover and Bordeaux so a three team pre-season tournament held alternately in each city. A week or so in each of those cities in July would be great.

wendyredredrobin Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Since we cant get Messi and co, how about a pre season friendly against the Barcelona of L1. We are unlikely to play them in a competiteve game, so this could be a spicy pre season fixture. Whatever happened to the annual Gloucestershire Cup fixture.

Whilst I'd love to see City play the likes of Real Madrid and I would go to see it at whatever price, it's all a bit naff in a preseason friendly. I hope we don't go down this route and use preseason as an effective build up for the coming season, rather than vanity exhibition fixtures.

Likewise, worked brilliantly and I think it was stated that they would do it again but not too often as it loses impact. 3 years on I think going back to Botswana or similar could be an excellent idea especially with such a changed squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeneys Penalties Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm sure we'll cram in a game at Twerton Park. I'm a bit ambivalent toward any friendly game whether it be Bristol City or England. It's a game with no edge and I lose interest quite quickly. Maybe I've never quite recovered from sitting on the terraces at Twerton years ago wondering who had less interest - Tony Fitzpatrick or me. Wouldn't object to a trip to Chippenham. If the club were going to tour Scotland, I'd be up for a bit of a tour myself mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry may Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I like preseason friendlies against foreign teams - Ajax, Antwerp , Borrusia Dortmund - it's somebody different. Plus there's always the chance of watching somebody who might in the future become an excellent player. Anybody remember Saurez playing for Ajax ?
