willem ii Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Ok, still a Dutch club, but unfortunately not ours.... I heard rumours in NL that BCFC and Willem II were on speaking terms again....

willem ii Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I prefer to mingle with my friends from Bristol City..... Although the supporters of FC Twente and Willem II do not have a violent history together. So certainly no rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between heaven and hell Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Personally with so many people calling for a friendly against Willem I think the choice of Twente is a kick in the teeth to many City fans who put good money into the club. Twenty are not much better than Willem so why not give the fans what they want and keep people happy. There is not threat of hooliganism just fans having a good time together, this is a classic case of the people in charge not listening to the wishes of many fans.

Not a kick in the teeth to me, I'm not that bothered who we play as it's just a friendly, believe it or not most fans of this club feel the same way, there isn't a great following of William outside of the forums from what I've witnessed, now I may be wrong I may not but considering this board represents a tiny percent of our fan base and not everyone here is bothered about it I would thought the rest feel the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 4 minutes ago, Between heaven and hell said: As I said not much between them, last year 0-0 and 1-2. Watford and Bournemouth drew against each other twice. One avoided relegation by one position, the other missed out on Europe by 2 places. Nothing between them either Willem avoided relegation by 2 points, Twente finished high enough to play in the Europa League, but currently have a 3 year ban. I know you like Willem, and I have nothing against them, but let's not pretend Twente and Willem have an equal stature in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no allegance to Willem and have never travelled to Holland to watch them and neither will I. What I am saying is there has been enough people asking for a friendly to surely warrant one. Surely it's not much to ask is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
