Bit dull but can understand why they haven't booked a swanky European tour, especially with all that queuing at airports.
Taking coaches to both the Saturday away games
Perhaps the Tuesday one as well depending on feedback
yeah not the most inspiring, but that's not what they're there forQuote:

Probably get more from this than the “big” home game we usually get a few thousand for.Quote:

I would have liked a trip away to FGR on a lovely summer's evening.
It's criminal how we have stopped going there pre season and single handily destroyed that communities economy and GDP.Quote:

Cheltenham could be good. Get the train there, short walk to Deya Brewery for a couple of pints, walk in to town, pause for a few more pints then another walk to the ground. Might need a bus or taxi back to the station. It's about two miles. And if the timing with the trains works back to Deya for a few more beers before sleeping on the train back to Cardiff
Taffs Well has a decidedly Third World feel about it these days. But does Vinnie care? The infrastructure is crumbling, utter desolation all around. It was once the jewel in Rhondda Cynon Taff's crown, but alas not any longer.Quote:

I should have thought playing at least one team at a higher level would be a good idea. In theory none of these clubs should provide the standard of opposition required to be ideal preparation.

The final pre season game is usually quite competitive as a precursor for the 1st game of the season.Quote:

What’s ridiculous about it ?Quote:

I laugh at people who shout about managers making substitutions when we’re winning 1-0 in these games, they’re FRIENDLY’S
Oh dear with the last word:yikes: Brother Claude would be horrified :hehe:Quote:
