[Albion] Pre-Season game is Sporting Lisbon - Friday 3rd August, kick-off 7.45pm

[Hugo Rune]

We’re the BIG club now!

Very disappointed with this.

I don't particularly want us to be associated with that club. Their president is an absolute lunatic and treats his players with contempt.

further, this probably means we won't go after any of the players that have resigned from their club.

P.....S...….G...…

How does Sporting Lisbon fit into this? The poster of that cryptic message seemed really quite sure.....

 

[BBassic]

Pass.

Friday night friendly.
Club is (currently) dodgy as f**k.

 

[Nobby]

I hope they don’t bring any fans

Ah OK. It's only a friendly anyway, can't say I'm fussed either way.

Nor me really, friendlies are nothing more than golorified training exercises anyway. What I will say though is that l will miss our almost standard pre season game at Crawley, Lewes, or Burgess Hill. I know our Sussex cousins apprciated those games, because they made a lot of much needed money out of them too.

Normally a game for families and future Albion fans, will be a low turnout with the late kickoff time.

 

[The Kid Frankie]

I wonder if the signing of Schelotto had any impact on arranging this friendly?

Pre....Season....Game......?

 

[BNthree]

Feeling pretty indifferent to this given the timing and the opposition.

 

[Official Old Man]

Can't make this game due to something that happened 30 years and 9 months previously so happy it's not a big club.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Why not on the Saturday? I think the evening setting will have impact.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Club originally said the game was going to be on Sunday 6th, wonder why they shifted it? Maybe PSG (or someone) pulled out late and this was all they could arrange

So celebrate the 15 second event and then go anyway. Job done.

I agree and think that friendlies at home should be free on a 1st come 1st issued ticket basis. to give future supporters a chance.

There are Pride events at Preston Park on Saturday and Sunday, I don't think the Police would allow us to play on those days.

 

[Originunknown]

Hardly giants. We're a bigger club now which is strange.

The club shouldn't have played this up, the headline is pathetic and the announcement very poorly timed with the turmoil at Sporting.

For a start the 6th August is a Monday. Also Pride takes place that weekend.

Incidentally, who are Sporting Lisbon? I don't know of any such club.

Will give this a miss and save my beer tokens for Charlton away. A decent South London club
