charlie_adam_no1fan Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 The friendly has to be played in the next four years. I wonder how popular this will become. Also will there be more than seven thousand attending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 The friendly has to be played in the next four years. I wonder how popular this will become. Also will there be more than seven thousand attending? It's been going on for years. It just means the supporters end up paying the majority of a transfer fee as one team waive their right to either a fee or their share of gate receipts.

Supporters won't be paying any part of the fee?!? If the game is on Barca's doorstep they'll just get a bonus on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 MU offered us a FIRST TEAM friendly in part payment for a youth team player (Jones?) years ago. 1st team friendly worth £200k+ but they bottled it and sent a youth team + Ryan Giggs who was coming back from injury. Only 2,000 turned up. ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk Of The Town Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Circa 1992? I think?That sounds about right. Utd played a strong team in first half. Sharpe,Hughes, Robson,Ince,Schmeichel,Dublin,Bruce,Blackmore. They played kids in second half and city scored 3 to draw the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 40+ years ago when City signed John Emanuel from Ferndale Athletic, part of the fee was that City send a full strength first team for a pre season friendly the following Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barca arguably bigger and better t-han Bayern and they will probably play them in latter stages of champs league too...? mate, it wouldn't surprise me if this friendly takes place in Dubai or Tokyo and tickets go for hundreds of dollars - commercial benefit and huge income if they do that, or even if they do it in Spain regarding who is better - bayern are, 3 of the last 4 champs league finals doesnt lie - theyre a phenomenal side with a plan b, which barca do not have as we've seen so often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 10 most supported teams in the World, Bayern can only make 8th. 8) Bayern Munich: Bayern Munich are estimated to have 50 million fans which makes them 8th in the list of most popular football clubs. 2) Barcelona: Barcelona might have won everything in recent five years, but they are only the second most popular football club, with approximately 260 million fans.
