Yup, and badge, A silhouette of a camp pirate who looks in remarkable health considering the lifestyle. Toby tyke used to be a favourite of mine (Barnsley) although I like the badge motif they have now. He looked like my caretaker from school, who was a nice bloke.Quote:

(My old man moaning at me, in tow) It was a warm day and my mother made me wear a duffle coat. If my kids had experienced any of that, or the special train pulling up at Portsmouth harbour that same season with the bricks and bottles raining down on us, they'd have PTSD.Quote:

City wanted a friendly against the side they played in their first ever fixture. Unfortunately Canton Cloggers disbanded in 1901.
I agree with what you said, play local teams and put the money into the local community.Quote:

Why not give back to the community in a pre-season game against a local team motivated to give their best? Surely it is a better run out, than a “jolly jape, after you, well played Sir, comfortable non-committal affair.
We do play local teams but send our u21s instead. Playing Kidderminster seems odd instead of a team like Merthyr but I don't think we want to play on the astroturf. And, of course, many teams might have already organised their games before we even began.
Fancied a trip to Austria for years. Latlst went there 30 years ago. Booking tomorrow evening. Should be a good trip 💪

Pre-Season 2024 | Hamburger SV vs. Cardiff City
The Bluebirds will take on Hamburger SV in a pre-season friendly on Sunday, July 21st in Bramberg, Austria.
The fixture will take place at the Smaragd-Arena in Bramberg, which is the home of Austrian fourth division side, TSU Bramberg, with kick-off at 4pm local time (3pm UK time).
Ticket details and streaming information for this fixture, along with details of additional friendlies taking place in Austria, will be confirmed in due course.
Hamburg compete in the 2. Bundesliga and finished the 2023/24 campaign in fourth position, narrowly missing out on a chance at promotion to the top tier of German football.
Managed by Steffen Baumgart, Hamburg's top scorer last term was former City striker Robert Glatzel, who scored 11 goals in 58 appearances for the Bluebirds between 2019 and 2021.
This will be our first meeting with Die Rothosen since the 1967/68 European Cup Winners' Cup Semi-Final. A memorable piece of Cardiff City history, the Bluebirds battled with Hamburg over two legs for a spot in the Final, with the German side narrowly winning 4-3 on aggregate.

Bramberg....half way up a mountain in the middle of nowhere. As an incentive to go, will there be signed 10p footballs?Quote:

But there we are. Looks very scenic but won't be the easiest away trip.
21st is Sunday….EDITED It is Sunday 21stQuote:

I'm looking forward to the Hamburger match out of all of them. I think that's a side we can get our teeth into.

Is 8 pre season friendlies a bit excessive?
Who does Tan want to win on Saturday between the City and K.V. Kortrijk, I wonder?
Will he attend perhaps?
He's probably hoping that at the end of the day football's the winner.Quote:
