[Albion] Pre -season friendly

[Barham's tash]

Inter Milan. First half we wear our home kit and they theirs - v second half reveal of our new away kit which is the Inter Milan home kit. They then switch to their alternate which has historically been blue and white. Nothing confusing about that is there?!

Valencia maybe?

Would be fun to see a really big team though.

We have previously played Valencia, as our 'prestige' final pre-season game at the Amex. It is often a Spanish side:

2011 Tottenham (lost 2-3)

2012 Chelsea (won 3-1) Chelsea's first game in England since winning the Champions League

2013 Villareal (lost 1-3)

2014 Real Betis (lost 1-3)

2015 Sevilla (won 1-0)

2016 Lazio (lost 0-1)

2017 At. Madrid (lost 2-3)

2018 Nantes (won 2-1) Nantes were a last minute replacement, as Sporting Lisbon pulled out after their squad disintegrate, amid legal / financial meltdown.

2019 Valencia (won 2-1)

2020 Chelsea (drew 1-1)

Yeah thats sort of why I thought it could be likely. TB obviously got some connections in Spain, considering Vicente, Bruno, Calderon and so on.

To be quite honest, as much as l love the shirt, I'm surprised we got away with having an Inter lookalike away kit, when there is so much blue in both first choice and change kits.

Now the AC Milan kit l could understand . . .

They're hoping to have one vs Rangers as part of a pre-season trip to Scotland too (per Naylor's tweet) - not sure of the dates though.

Saw on Twitter last week from an ITK Rangers fan it’s been provisionally arranged for the weekend of 24th / 25th July.
