The Pre-Season Thread

[Term-X 7,891]

I wish we could go back to Amsterdam pre season, that was epic!

If it was Amsterdam this year, i'd be able to go as well.

The sooner the club have another pre-season in that great city, the better.

I want us to play Kingstonian every year again.

I am possibly the happiest man alive.

We have a pre-season friendly with Vitesse Arnhem on the 9th July.

Arnhem is about an hour drive from Amsterdam.

9^th July? I might go with a few mates then.. Come back on the same night *-)

Edit: Chelsea haven't confirmed it yet though, which is strange..

Judging by past experience they won't for a while either. All of last seasons pre-season games were announced by the other club weeks before we announced it.

Won't there be at least one friendly back here in the Bridge? I would love to watch a pre-season friendly here, seeing as how playing against teams never encountered before AT HOME would be epic.

Vitesse eh? Is it because Abramovich is a good friend of the Vitesse owner?

Apart from Celtic in 2005? I cant remember the last time we played a friendly at home- but I dont mind the fairly local ones like against Palace at the start of the season.

Excellent! I'm actually in Devon that week so it wouldn't be out of the question to head to Pompey for an away game!

[middleoftheshed 388]

Nice, really hope the Brighton rumours are true aswell!

Gosh, what a load of Pre-season friendlies. Take note that we are supposed to play BENFICA as well. this is part of the Luiz deal. So apart from the Asian tour, we have Vitesse, Portsmouth, Benfica and probably Brighton.

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

I heard that the Benfica friendly was going to be next season, not 100% though.

I should be going to this then. Quick eurostar train, then back to the UK the same day.

It will be worth it just to see the players smoking weed on the pitch.

That makes the fans sound like glory-hunters.

Well we went trophyless...so if they choose to support then they arent "glory hunters" ...you get my drift?

Few rumours flying around several Rangers forums that Chelsea will be going back to Ibrox on August 6th ?

Any truth in that ?

EDIT - Confirmed....Get in....I'll be going to this

You sure? Nothing on the Rangers site yet.

Hope so, always wanted to go there and didn't last time.
