Anyone going to the Villarreal friendly?????

[Bozza]

It's a great big fat NO due to a prior booking to see some athletics at the (old) Olympic Stadium that day.

It's a shame the club weren't able to pull off the glamour friendly they promised everyone.

Doubt it. Unless we sign like three players before then.

Going to see us in getafe though

Indeed & what happened to this summers one a year big 'concert' that we are allowed...no income & no fun

 

[les dynam]

Yes. But I expect a extremely low attendance. Also noticed on the ticket site how poorly the Newport game is selling which is a bit of a surprise. £12 to watch us hammer somebody in the league cup is great value surely?

 

[Return of the Rev]

not for me beaky

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Get paid the day before, so I'll wait until then - hopefully its still that Villarreal and Norwich games for £20 offer.

Me, mate and our missus's? are going.

We are getting into city centre mid afternoon. Having a nice meal with a few drinks and taking the train (first time by train for me).

Train back and shared taxi home.

Bliss, a great Saturday out..

 

[Eksman]

Yes me and 2 mates and we can't wait! 7:30pm On a Saturday a day after payday!! This will be fun

 

[Stevie Boy]

will be missing this one, as i have my kids that weekend also being on cructhes wouldnt help being in row v in the north (bad fan i know)

And the 12 pounds for the Newport game includes travel, which the friendlies do not.

In fact if you take out the travel cost, it is practically FREE



*exaggerates*

The problem is that even if you put on a friendly between the two best teams in the world at your favourite stadium of all time, the simple fact that it is a friendly automatically makes it a waste of everybody's time and money. We could be playing Real Madrid and I still wouldn't go, because uncompetitive football is simply terrible. Save your money. If you don't go to Whitehawk, Crawley, Norwich and Villarreal, you will have saved enough money to buy yourself a ticket for Newport AND Derby, both of which matter and will be infinitely more enjoyable.

Talking about friendlies and prices......did anyone see that Bournemouth are changing £60 a pop for tickets against real Madrid...ffs.

That is just stupid

I want to go but am waiting for the west upper to be available.

Might be in for a long wait there,they will only open the WSU in the unlikely event of the game selling out.For the U21 both upper stands were closed.
East Stand lower 1901 was empty too.

 

[BHAZiggy]

I'll be there. By all accounts they are a quality team so I'm looking forward to it.

People who don't know English football would presumably be saying similar things of Cardiff or Crystal Palace. Newly promoted to the top flight, colourful kit.

And both of those teams are worth a tenner each too.
I also like the idea of seeing a club I've never seen before. There are very few of those for me in England.

 

[BensGrandad]

When I got mine I was told they are not opening Upper West as they dont expect a large crowd.

 

[raymondbriggs]

Got to be worth the ticket money,a game against Spanish opponents for those of us who cant go "on tour" and great seats available if you get in soon.

 

[BensGrandad]

Where is the friendly against Getafe being played on Wednesday evening. Thinking about looking at Easy jet flights. Just checked Easy jet sold out to Madrid

 

[grawhite]

Can't wait, should be a good evening of football. Plus we get to see how OG is gonna setup the squad for league games.

I'd rather play a foreign club too. Roma, for example. With TOP players. It is easy to forget that Villareal were relegated and coming back up again. Their good players left them. They are Newcastle of a few years ago, trying to bounce back.

Francesco Totti was rumoured. Villareal only offer FM legend Cani, and the hilarious Javi Venta. If either of them leave I am going to weep.

But I'll be there.
