Can't wait, although Getafe is a bit underwhelming... Shows how far we have come I guess

Opponents underwhelming but oh well.
More annoyed about the later KO - was hoping to take my boy to his first game and that will be too late for him

Yep, same here. Had this pencilled down as the game to take my boys to their first match. Bit of a shame. One positive I suppose is now their first matches will be a competitive game with a full crowd etc so will probably be even more memorable for them.

I’m hoping getting this ‘deal’ done puts us on good terms with the selling club.
Maybe it helps? I don’t know a lot about these things…

Is the only sane answer.
And that's before you factor in the usual transport nonsense that always comes with evening games.
Bollox to it basically

I’m probably working on the 7th August. I was gutted to be missing Real Madrid/PSG/Juventus but Getafe I saw 2 years ago out in Spain. I’m not so gutted now.
But if they could give us Cucurella that would be nice of them.

I don’t really know the strategy or approach for how we set up this friendlies either. But… crikey. It is a heck of a coincidence it’s a club whose player we’re heavily linked to buying.
What's funny is the simple fact there'd be an identical, if not more, amount of moaning had the club announced Barcelona with a 3pm kick off.

That was before some twonk refused to close flights to India so he could get the glory of a (bang average) trade deal and let a lethal Covid variant into the country. Getting anyone to travel here that doesn’t need to has got to be an issue

If we were to pay Getafe €1m less than Cucurella’s release fee we would save €3m in Spanish taxes.
If we were then to pay Getafe €1m to play a friendly at the Amex.............
Just saying

Wasn’t “getafa” one of Billy Connelly’s sayings?

Ah don’t be such a misery guts. The following week is Burnley away don’t forget…
Imagine being a Brighton fan that's upset about a preseason friendly against a Spanish top flight team. What a time to be alive
This is how far we have come.

Its a half-paced training ground pat-around. Does it really matter who its against ?

Backwards. In 2012 our prestige friendly was against the newly crowned European Champions. We beat them 3-1.

Exactly this. I mean ok, so it might have been nice for us fans if we had the chance to see some of the big name players that the really big boys of Europe have in their teams, the likes of Juve, one of the Milan teams, Barca, Real, PSG et al, but lets face it, how many of those teams would have been attracted by a friendly at Brighton, considering all the travel restrictions, anti-Covid measures etc. etc. that are around at the moment.
Good on Getafe for agreeing to bring a side to play the pre-season game l say.

We play Chelsea twice a season now in "proper" games, and it is getting boring. How often do we play Getafe?
