£60 to see them that's how!

Comment from the BBC article:

'Perhaps this game has been half planned as Gareth Bales debut......although Bournemouth have yet to make an official bid!!!!'. :lol:

Certainly a marquee friendly for The Cherries but £60 a ticket is more than a bit steep. I really hope that the Galacticos actually turn up 'cos otherwise it could backfire a bit.

I'm not too worried that we have Villarreal instead. They should be a more useful work out for The Albion especially with OG needing to get a feel for our starting line up a week before the Championship kicks off.

I do agree that maybe we have a tad too much bias towards Spanish opposition and then Norwich. OK there is the Crawley game which should be handy but maybe we could do with one more run out against a less cultured opposition with a direct style of play so OG can see what to expect from some of the less gifted sides in the Championship.

They sold out within hours, built a new stand and sold that out too. I guess the club got it right after all.

Hilarious that anyone can moan about a friendly with Villareal. I remember paying £3 at the Goldstone to watch us play some crap northern team in our marquee pre-season game.

£45 for STHs which isn't quite as outrageous (we charge similar prices afterall)

I'm pretty sure it was £55, still damned high for a friendly.
