Surely you would think we will have a home game with first team on the 1st Of August at COMS?
Anyone heard anything ? Or possible teams to play in a glamour friendly?

I've said for the past few weeks since our 'talks' with Barcelona that we will have them a friendly. AC Milan last year, Valencia the year before. Barca would be a great tie and I reckon it would draw in a reasonably good crowd, especially if they beat the Rags. Just imagine watching the likes of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Eto'o, Puyol, Alves etc. at CoMS, would be mint. I would certainly go and take some mates with me.

Our season starts a week after the Football League, the Rotherham game will be 2 weeks before the start of the season for us, I'd imagine we'll have the Ethihad Trophy game on the Saturday before the season starts, the 8th August.

It would be amazing watching them players but who will play for Barca ?

Don Valley is by a mile the worst stadium I have ever been in for football. The away fans sit in a corner miles back from the pitch and the stand isn't steep so you're watching from miles away at a shit angle.

Are city going on a pre season tour to south africa or something aswell.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Is it worth a venture? Any decent boozers round there?

Can't wait for the fixtures to come out for both pre-season and domestic, try and get to some good away games. I've renewed my ST.
