Pre-Season Tour of Scotland July 2006 - A good idea?

[Skintagain 1983]

Great idea.. C'mon MM let's do it

Pants.. It's full of sweaties

Posted the idea on Ask the Club.. Seems to be building up a head of steam.

"Pre-season tour of Scotland for 2006/07?
Last year I asked the same question but didn't get an answer.

Have the arrangements for 2006/7 pre-season tour been considered as yet? If not, could I suggest MM looks into coming back up to Scotland?

I understand Stirling University has decent facilities, thanks to Sport Scotland; and for those fans travelling up from darn sarf there is the chance to sample some fantastic Scottish Ales... Bitter & Twisted; Deuchars IPA.. which compare with your very own Harveys of Lewes...

Fixtures could be arranged with a selection from the likes of the mighty Alloa Athletic, Stirling Albion, (or even Sauchie Juniors - for those who think it'd be fun to turn over Alan Hansen's old boys) Stenhousemuir, East Stirlingshire, Clyde all within a 20 odd mile radius, moving on to some stiffer opposition from Falkirk, Hibs, Hearts or maybe Aberdeen? And of course MM could convince his pal Gordon to agree to a real test against McVirgs and his Celtic mates....

BHAlba - the Scottish Seagulls - would ensure a vocal presence for the Albion and it would also give those of us who have been unable to see the Albion as often as we'd like to take in some action.

There are over 50 members of BHAlba living across Scotland with strong links to travelling Albion fans from down south, who do get to our local fixtures (eg. Preston, Leeds, Burnley, Sheffield, Sunderland, Carlisle, Hartlepool, Middlesbro etc) but a real "home" game would be nice.

A reply on here this time would be good, or on our website.

Assuming the club gets Falmer and can afford the journey!!!

Where do you usually do your preseason tours? We've been at Celtic a few times in recent seasons, always good craic.

Think we're off to South AFrica or Scandinavia, again.

 

[Skintagain 1983]

A couple recently to Ireland (but I think we're banned - players and match officials pitch antics... not the fans) and last season France and local games.

I agree with going to play Celtic.. C'mon McVirgs, Strachan and MM .. Make it happen

 

[Wardy]

A tour would be good.

How very dare you... that lone voter

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I agree with going to play Celtic..

Would definately be up for a pre-season tour up there, although I suspect we'd be hosted by MeadowBank T, Dumbarton or Stirling Albion rather than the hoops!

Could even perhaps think about arranging a "friendly" 5 a-side against the Scottish Palarse Cupar Eagles (based in Fife and Tayside)? For REMF? Now that would be interesting.

Be a good excuse to go to Scotland as I've never been there.

We were invited to play a team of Ricky Marlowe's mates in Scotland but as yet nothing has been organised.

This could be an ideal opportunity.

oh sweet jesus YES

COWDENBEATH v BHA in a Pre-season friendly?....its the stuff DREAMS are made of

 

[Safeway]

Only if we play Greenock Morton at Cappielow.

:dance:

 

[Goring Gull]

I always love the tour os Sussex we normally do - nothing like a bit of jet setting.

 

[Dandyman]

Top idea.

Bring it on.

 

[Strike]

What about Queens Park at Hampden Park, that would be a dream.

 

[TheWolf]

for the benefit of the 50 or so scottish exiles? NO you moved to that 3rd world country so lump it, wanna see us play get your arses back south.

 

[Dandyman]

you moved to that 3rd world country...

Skint lives in Scotland not the midlands...
