2016/17 Pre-Season Discussion Thread

Excellent, a chance to play against some decent opposition before the qualifiers.

 

Still a decent pull, clearly

Nice to see that whoever has been at the table, has made sure we're not going to America because of our qualifiers, yet still playing some good side's and the best on the planet..

Plus earning a decent amount of money..

 

Will definitely be heading to the Barca game.

 

I think we know fine well who's likely been "at the table" for us in securing this deal.

 

Think the Leicester home game will attract a big crowd.

Plenty of money to be made here.

 

Expecting Leicester to take a good crowd as well, as long as ticket pricing is right should get a decent attendance for a pre-season game.

 

Aw man. I understand why they can't come though. Someday soon I hope I can finally see the hoops.

 

I'm definitely going to the game at Celtic park if I can get a ticket.

Well done Lawell, nice one.

 

Very disappointed that they are not playing in the States, especially since all of the announced venues are within driving distance for the most part. I've been dying to see Celtic live. Oh well. I guess it looks like the Chelsea-Madrid draw will be in Ann Arbor. Looks like I'll have to make another trip up there. I went to the Madrid-Man U game two years ago. Amazing experience in front of 100k plus.

 

Will the Leicester game be segregated?

 

The atmosphere at the game in Dublin will be out of this world for a friendly. My mouth started watering when I seen that fixture but I'm * working!

 

Don't want to be near this Mickey Mouse pre season tournemant which will mean heehaw to be honest, the cl qualifiers are more important

Has lawell given up on them already ??? So he can make a quick buck from these friendlies?

 

Oh aye why not play a higher level of opposition to prepare for the qualifiers The club will make a good amount of money and fans in Glasgow & Ireland get to see a few good games.
Why be a bawbag about it? There's always one.

 

Yeah white fans in the white section, blacks in the black etc the usual

 

Yes he'd rather give up £10 million+ from qualifying for the CL and take a fraction of that for a pre-season tournament.

 

The usual strategy of playing * teams from * countries has done us no good, so why not try something else?

 

Its claimed the guy behind the ICC is the same person behind the European Super League idea that Rummengge wants to see. If true, its another example of the Clubs hypocrisy. Personally im not for or against this tournament, each to our own I just think this doesn't suit us with the CL qualifiers in that period.

 

Because am not in the mood to see us getting shagged 4-5 nil in friendlies and to see key players getting injured at the most important part of the season, what good does that do for confidence??

These tournaments in pre season are a lot of *, and the state were in just now we will get a footballing lesson of any of them sides
