ralphindevon Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 We've played Torquay the last 2 pre seasons but just sent a U23 team. Now it's the Johnson cup surely it'll be a first team game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Think it's about time to have another Bristol derby. It will never happen in the league, so may as well be a pre-season game. The only question is, would we give them the chance to bask in the glory of Ashton Gate? Or give us a laugh at their ground? I'm serious though, it would be an interesting pre-season fixture.

Dunno but that would make sense to be fair. I see no benefit whatsoever in City playing that lot unless compelled to do so in a national cup competition, and I wouldn't want Celtic down here either as has been mooted in the past.Too much potential agro and police costs. As for Botswana, please no ! I think as fans we see friendlies differently to coaches. Clearly LJ will help out his old man as usual but a loosener at Torquay and chance for youngsters to get involved. A step up versus say Cheltenham, another against Pompey, and then a final warm up against an established PL side such as Bournemouth. Couldn't really complain even if a bit boring if it prepared the squad for another Champ season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
