Pre Season Friendlies

Should all be behind closed doors.

Even behind closed doors there are minute by minute updates on line and it all gets analysed to death (PNE was BCD today and our game at WBA was).  But I agree with you, no need to elevate the "importance" of a friendly by having fans there. 

When we used to play in the Lancs Manx Cup, in my eyes those games felt really crucial, if we did well there was no way we weren't going to be challenging for promotion!  (big difference in them days were pre-season games meant you played your first team, with a couple of subs, not the 22 players rotating constantly like now, some of which will never start a league game for us).

Decided to take my old man tonight 

A few pints before and hopefully decent weather.Be good to get him back at bwfc as he's not been for a few years now 

Not that bothered about the game but will be good to spend time with the grumpy bastard

Stoke City offering live video streaming on Tuesday but only seen audio on ours. Does anyone know if based  overseas can stream this match? Seems weird that Stoke have it and we don't

It will be on dodgy stick /box then.     Just seen a post about stoke fans getting free coaches for 24/25 season , fair play to their owners.

Not so sure about their away support but their home crowds look like they've crashed.

They've had free coach travel for over 10 years now.  I bet the club would love to stop it but are probably afraid of the negative publicity they'd get, taking something away that some will be taking for granted now.

We'll face the same situation if we ever start charging more than £10 for earlier cup rounds!

Average 22,742 last season, around 2k higher than each of the previous 2 years.

Not disagreeing with you BTW, it always looks half empty on TV, just quoting stats.

Agreed. That really is remarkable but stop it & they'll get dog's abuse.

I managed people for decades using the premise that "No favour goes unpunished !"

Not bad at all that, daft gets.

Maybe there's a few younger ones coming up to tick the ground off thinking we'll never play eachother again 😃

Just nipped over to France and it didnt make a difference to the Wanderers TV site , still Audio only 

Only thing I can think of is that Stoke are filming the match and dont want to lend us their feed .

Anyway its a fiver on the Stoke site , a doddle to register for and no need to be "abroad" .
