On iles podcast he says we are playing a scottish club away + maybe a euro team.

I’m presuming we will go north after the Boro game and it will be mid-week.

If it is we’ll do both.

I think that date will be the home game against this European team as we’ve  had no Sat home games. 

If we’re going to Scotland then that will surely be after the game up in Bishop Auckland?

Good memories of Bishop Auckland , worked up there in the early nineties.

An ex-footballer Peter Creamer ran a pub on the square. He played a few times for Middlesbrough when they won the old second division under Jack Charlton . When I told him I was from Bolton & a fan he bought me a pint & told me of the roasting Peter Thompson gave him at Burnden . He was reserve fullback & he said he sort of knew he’d be in the team as it was over Easter , two games more or less together & the regular fullback John Craggs hated playing against Peter Thompson, so he was expecting Craggs to cry off injured which he did.Boro lost only ,I think , four games all season & only two away games one of which was at Burnden where we won 2-1 ,thanks mainly to Thompson who rinsed Peter Creamer dry .His career went a bit downhill after that but he managed a long career in the lower leagues playing for the likes of Hartlepool.

Dunfermline away fuck me that was 30 years ago when I did that. Think it was Alloa as well. Days when we did a proper Scotcher preseason. I’d do that again

If the B team do Curzon Ashton as usual I’ll wander down there. Decent set up close by

Ohhh Fiorentina you say, yes please.

Shame it’s not on the Saturday.

Family fun day must have been sacked off this season.

Was buzzing for about 30 seconds until I realised it clashes with Leigh v St Helens

Fiorentina were always my team in the Football Italia days, but I did at least get to see them play in Florence last season

Chris Helme in Tyldesley that night. Nevermind 

[gonzo]

I'm only going if they promise to play in the Nintendo kit.

and if Batistuta is definitely going to play

[Whitesince63]

Aren’t they also playing PNE on the Saturday so they’ll be having to play their full squad over the two games but probably their better players at North End?

[Biggish Dave]

Cracking friendly to arrange but I doubt I'll be arsed with it on a Friday night

[bolty58]

Now yer talkin'.

No disgrace being rinsed by Peter Thomson just being on the same pitch is a privilege.
