Indeed. A Spanish team is all I recall

Probably Espanyol? We played them and Udinese in friendlies at the ricoh i'm sure

I’d love to go on Saturday. However I work two Saturdays a month this being one of them

It's being played on Sunday ! (cc84cov beat me to it!)

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

The last one I went to was either Hinkley or Northampton away - both were shite.

Do you smuggle pasta back and forth between Verona and branches of Bella Italia or similar)?

To be honest, I'm just jealous of someone who can live over there and still get back to see CCFC. Very close to my idea of heaven, and my wife would move if it wasn't for our son's education (also the returning for CCFC - she doesn't get it, but luckily puts up it without grumbling)

I think I’ve been to one pre season friendly ever and that’s only as it was a big blow out meal and free booze with expenses paid taxi home

I've worked out G's obsession with MR and taxi's! He stole G's free taxi ride .

 

[procdoc]

It’s Sunday the game

Bonus I’ll go up and watch it then

I remember one against Espanyol, might be that. It was Highfield Rd though I think.

I went to the 2-7 trouncing against Benfica in 96, talk about the writing being on the wall despite the big signings

I also remember going to a mid season one against a German team, maybe 98 ish?

Espanyol was at the Ricoh wasn't it? Jay Tabb scored if I remember correctly.

I don't remember Stefano Vise

 

[baldy]

Anybody remember us playing Feyenoord in 1997? Boateng was playing for them that day too

 

[fernandopartridge]

Ah, you're right. Was it another Spanish team then? I'm sure we played one at Highfield Rd but maybe my memory is just addled

Yeah, Feyenoord brought a few

I thought it was Bayern Munich but it just seems so unthinkable now!

I thought you was an old fella Monkey 98 your first game

 

[mr_monkey]

Tbf I was a late starter to football, was in my late teens at that game

We played Brescia at Highfield Road in some tournament or other involving Blues too? (Beat the Italians 1-0 - David Smith)

 

[baldy]

Looking back at some of the pre-season friendlies of the past,I totally forgot we played some teams - for example,Ghent in 2001 anyone?

 

[LastGarrison]

Remember Ajax giving us a spanking in pre-season as well!

They bought a few and can remember an older Ajax fan singing to the West End ‘Can you hear the Coventry sing’.

Weird the shit you remember yet I couldn’t tell you the score.

3-1 to Ajax - big Cedric the scorer for us

 

[LastGarrison]

3-1 to Ajax - big Cedric the scorer for us

In my memory thought they beat us by more than that!!

Just googled it. 21 years ago.

 

[David O'Day]

This is our “big” game returning to the Ricoh, if they’re going to field their 23s we may as well have played Burton Albion

Should of just left the first game back as the Forest game

 

[procdoc]

If I remember correctly the Bayern friendly was towards the end of the season and not during pre-season? Was an evening kick off. I could be wrong

 

[WestEndAgro]

Didn't know that, would be really annoying if so

Yep, not going now, was considering it, can't bare the thought of losing to their u 23's

 

[cc84cov]

Remember the Udinese game at Highfield Road

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I don’t know what game you went to but that was in 2007

It was... Bayern were on a mid season break. We had beaten Man Utd & Liverpool and were about to go on that winning run.

I remember throwing the ball to Lothar Mattheus when sitting in the Main Stand & being surprised at the size of their striker who came on... Jancker... Had a decent career.

For once and (enjoy this as it will probably never happen again) - I agree with you. Not a fan of attending friendlies at all.

I’m not even going to take a cheap shot of your mention of a taxi - however tempting

1,846 Wolves supporters are heading to the Coventry Building Society Arena for the 1pm kick-off and wolves.co.uk brings you all the key information before making the trip.

Good support considering they’re taking 2,400 to Stoke the day before

We’ve been getting this all wrong. Grendel just thinks Robins deserves the same excellent treatment he got at the city. Free booze and an expenses paid taxi for Robins.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Will the new bar (where the shop used to be) be open?

Yes
