Septic Peg Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Morning folks! Well well. It's been a week of rain for us here in Blighty and a week of heat for City, both on and off the pitch. With the wild rumours of Flint and Joe being packed off to the land of Hovis and the fall out tweets from Mr Tomlin and Mr Pembo (for the record Kelly McGillis could handle a Maverick Pembo!), it's certainly been another eventful tour in Tenerife. Today, it's our only tour friendly against Atletico Unión Güímar, a club formed by an amalgamation of two others 8 years ago. Just like our very own City was born over 100 years ago... I have absolutely no idea who they are as everything I can find on Google about them is in Spanish and "una cerveza por favor" is my limit. From what I can gather though, they don't play in any of the main leagues so I can only assume it will be similar competition to Bath City/Torquay United/BMF etc. A tough test in a humid heat at altitude will be a different ball game for some of our boys. So I'm feeling a draw. 2-2. Kick off is at 6pm - not sure if that's Spanish time so it could also be 5pm our time - and supporters still on their holibobs in Tenerife are welcome to attend. Game can be followed via Twitter and I'll try and post key tweets here... Come on you reds or purples... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 If you're right and the opposition are a similar level to Bath etc, I'd like to think we could muster a bit better than a draw. Hope Diedhiou can score today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather we did it against Cheltenham, they will be of a higher standard than today's opponents. We don't know the strength of the Cheltenham side for those games, so hard to read into that, but the quality in the Spanish leagues falls away much quicker than it does over here.

You don't. I watched them v Bath and they were of a mixed strength, today pretty much full strength and didn't have a kick until Weston took off a couple of their better players at HT. Cheltenham are a conference side in the making. Believe me!! Harry Pell striker! D'oh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
