i can understand behind closed doors.. sorting out the security for the crowd, ticketing etc on short notice would be a nightmare. I thought as we missed the manchester derby we'd get a stream, or at least a team sheet to see which kids are playing. not long now until the start of the season I guessMe too... maybe because it's all so last minute St Johnstone were the only option to play against and they agreed to play on the condition it was entirely behind closed doors. Can't think why City won't aknowlegde it, unless
a) they are scared we will get beaten and for some reason don't want people to know about that
or
b) Pep's trying out some sort of tactic he doesn't want anyone else to know.
Maybe there's legal/licensing reasons behind it, I wouldn't know to be honest.
