kanjo 26,328 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 The sand dunes might seem like a joke to some but I honestly would do that. They need to land on their feet this summer and that will be a good start and an education on what to expect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I would prefer if we have two/three games again the standard of opposition that we are likely to encounter against in Europa opening rounds - we don't want to be caught cold again. Preferably AWAY against Scandinavian, Baltic , Irish, Luxembourg/Lichtenstein, Cypriot sides, which are already into their season. Not glamorous, but we need to put out the squad against a competitive match fit side where playing us is a full cup final for them, so they will be up for it. Rather that, than a mid table English championship/lower EPL side just back in, where they really couldnt care less (eg Watford last season) bluenoz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take them to the sands is good and well mate, but you still need to hope we have someone capable to put them through the drills. Hopefully one thing Gerrard has in mind is a good fitness coach. If we took them to the sands Flannigan would have them stopped every 3 or 4 minutes for a wee sports gel and water break the pampered wee poofs Tiger Shaw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pre-season is driven by revenue and TV, not on the whim of an appointment of a new manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEE 4,880 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 We were rumoured to play Malaga last year and nothing came of it were we not? Malaga and Austria would be class, although can’t see it. As @K.A.I said a squad of bears in Benalmadena would be outstanding. Not sure my credit card is prepared for a big away trip as well as Europe. Would love a friendly in London, again can’t see it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye what’s making me think that it’s pish, flights for Malaga throughout June are already about £150 return (was looking for a holiday) - will go sky high if we have a friendly.

There's other options. The train system is quite good in Spain now when Chelsea played Atletico Madrid a few months ago I done a £39 return flight to Valencia and got that Refe train for about £30 return to Madrid was only about 1 hour 40 mins. I'm sure Malaga is linked to the likes of Barcelona, Almeria airports and you've also got the likes of Tarragona, Girona, Gibraltar, Alicante airports within commute, maybe 3 hours on a train from Barcelona. Would be easy to do it cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JentleJames 199 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I was really looking forward to pre-season because a second placed finish would have meant not playing a competitive game till 26th July and having the best possible pre-season for quite a while, but finishing 3rd and playing 2 weeks beforehand means we probably have less exciting options now.
