That is five games in eleven days in America, one in Norway four days later, one in Dublin, and then the European Super Cup. Sacking 'LvG' suddenly makes proper sense. Who are your team earning money against this summer, and who will win the Confederations Cup (which we might as well include in this)?
Other than local shite we (Torquay) got Bristol City and the Argyle at home which makes it even more lol for us in the Vanarama Mickey Mouse League.
Looking at the Confederation Cup, I can only see a Mexico-Germany final if I'm honest. Are Man Utd in the Champions Cup Lewis?
Ironically, I missed that piece of information.
Which one is here?
EDIT: Samp. Going to get tickets for that one.
We've got a rip-roaring schedule of all away games against Sutton, MK Dons, Barnsley, Mickleover, Leamington and then an odd tournament hosted by Nuneaton that they've somehow got teams from Liverpool, Rangers and PSV to play in.
Our only confirmed games are against Arsenal in Beijing (what could possibly go wrong?), Bayern Munich and Inter in Singapore.
Probably our final ever fixture against Inter Milan.
We have a home friendly against Atletico Madrid.
I'm going to Legoland the weekend that one is on.
Legoland is good as well. High five!
The first home game of the real season is where it's at anyway. And (if on different days) the first one against a big club will be special too.
I'm hoping they're either away for the first game or on Monday Night Football otherwise I'll miss that too I think.
If I can get a ticket that is, which I guess is going to be trickier now.
Barclays Premier League Asia HSBC Trophy 2017
I'm hoping I am in Dublin for work when we play Sampdoria.
IIRC we're releasing our pre-season plans towards the end of this week, despite having no manager. Nice.
When would those go on sale?Originally Posted by Kikó
I think they have been giggles. Pretty sure the secondary market is already demanding ridiculous prices.
Good luck to that so. Wouldn't have minded seeing Utd.
EDIT: Still on Ticketmaster. Behind the goals lower tier, or up in the clouds for east or west stands. €60.
Giggles/Kiko meet.
Smugfest.
I just bought behind the goals but, no.Giggles/Kiko meet.
United v Sampdoria in Dublin is a gloriously 90s idea.
Ireland seems to be entirely populated by boozy men starved of top level football though so I suppose it makes sense.
We're also playing Valerenga in Oslo. It's great.
We're doing the customary Asian tour and seeing as we won't get to play our annual champions league match this year. They've kindly decided to smash us 7-0 in a pre-season friendly instead.
Sevilla/Benfica for the Emirates Cup this year which is a bit disappointing.
Which row?
Beats the annual friendly vs Oman.
68.
I'm a twit
General football news thread? This'll do.
The most expensive Brighton tickets next season will cost £60.http://wearebrighton.com/blog/2017/0...et-to-cost-45/
Ching ching. They'll surely get a pile of hangers-on now that have never been through the gates before though. Great area for it.
Seems real steep but I guess they can scale it back if they're not getting the numbers in for sellouts. Maybe there's an 'only here once' mentality that comes with promotion. The Amex isn't that big, is it? Looks cosy whenever I've seen it on TV.

Ajax’s pre-season friendly against Werder Bremen was abandoned after Abdelhak Nouri required emergency treatment from paramedics on the field. Nouri was eventually airlifted to hospital in what Ajax described as a “stable” condition.
It was routinely £40 a ticket to watch Championship filth in the west lower (probably the priciest tickets in the ground) so I can see the case for £60 in the premier league. And, as has been said, there are a shit load of people in Brighton and a lot of them are going to want to go next season.
Funny thing is, away fans are capped at £30 which is pretty reasonable. I paid 26 for the super cup ffs.
30 odd thousand. Cosy by Prem standards.
Tottenham are charging up to £90 for a friendly against Juventus
Edit: the company running the friendly, not Tottenham (according to Tottenham).
We've got Hibs at their place this afternoon. The last two occasions we've been up there's been trouble. Is it that kind of place generally?
Hibs fans love a bit of bother. And its leith, so aye.
Edinburgh is a great city but the Hearts/Hibs fans seem a bit shit. Mind they involved in that fracas at the cup final with Rangers not so long ago.
I wish one or both of them would just move to Murrayfield. I've not scene Easter Road but Tynecastle just has the appearance of a knackered relic.
Someone has scrapped /r/soccer for each team and the most common words associated with them. It's quite funny.
Spurs play PSG in Orlando in a couple weeks and tickets range from $50 - $100 lolTottenham are charging up to £90 for a friendly against Juventus

Not sure where I read it but I seen Zuckerberg is looking to buy them is he?
£120 to see a Man City - West Ham friendly in Reykjavík (currently being advertised as a match 'between two of the world’s greatest football teams').
Alright.
I keep hearing local radio ads for the Emirates Cup targeted at children on the school run. Things must be getting uncomfortable over at the Marble Halls.
'Arsenal! Benfica! RB Leipzig! Sevilla!' cries the small girl in the ad.
Isn't a loaf of bread about £30 there though? Seems reasonable enough then.
These also work if you align posters on here with the teams they support.Someone has scrapped /r/soccer for each team and the most common words associated with them. It's quite funny.
You can't say that about Reg just because he likes tennis.
I am proper 'automatic' and 'glad' though.
The wisdom of the crowd.
Is that Lewis not reading the thread?
I might try and get scalpers' tickets to the United game here, not sure how much they'll cost.
Fantastic content.
