Need better competition to get them match ready for the level they will need for our league. would also be good to have some high profile home friendlies to draw crowds in Why is that pointless for first game of the season, seems reasonable to me, what do you want Real Madrid & see us get thrashed?

Meh Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 10 minutes ago, BS4 on Tour... said: I hope we carry on playing pre season games vs non pro teams in Bristol like the games v Brislington, Portishead, Hengrove, Backwell etc....really good for cementing relations, showing support and good PR - would be better to let those teams keep all the funds generated on the day though... Im fairly sure against Hengrove we paid most of the costs and gave them our old dug outs which were probably worth a few hundred quid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a statement on asschat to that effect but I think it was rubbished and it was suggested that BCFC deal with the poster making the allegations as it was widely believed on there.

I think that was because a percentage of the gates go to the whole league, I don't believe that was City's money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, I'd hope it was false and we used those fixtures to really support the local non pro sides...no reason why we wouldn't surely?!

I can`t see us being petty enough to demand a few quid, we`re better than that. As you can imagine though it was lapped up by the other lot.

The money is a drop in the ocean for BCFC for sure. I think the Hengrove chairman said the money would keep them healthy for the next few years. Edit.

Monkeh Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I think any money we keep from the hengrove and Portishead games go to the community trust and not the club anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeneys Penalties Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Donkeys years ago, I remember there were Pre Season Tournaments like the Watneys Cup (spit) and the Anglo Italian Cup. Wouldn't be against either of those two returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydneybcfc Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Most of the top clubs have full schedules in the US and Asia. Liverpool are playing tonight here in Sydney as they haven't even started their holidays yet. The days of getting a big name friendly are over unless you are willing to break the bank, leaves you lower level Prem teams or smaller European teams. Neither going to draw a big crowd.
