It winds them up , incase there's any lurking

Games being played behind closed doors. Looks like it will be another ‘open training session’ pre season tour

Is what it is, can’t say I understand why it’s necessary but so be it

And I disagree with you but each to their own

No biggie for me anyway I’ll use the time to explore Albufeira’s many bars

You can disagree all you want but they are what is happening and the reasons why it is.

Don’t really follow this. Prem sides head to USA, Australia, China, etc. Absolutely packed with fans and far more recognisable. Yet we’re poo-poo’ing the idea of a few Cov fans fancying the trip. If I hadn’t already booked my summer holiday I’d definitely be up for going over, watch the City and play a bit of golf.

Dont think we are playing down Cov fans heading over there. It's the opposite for me. I think it's possible the club are keeping it low-key to avoid many fans travelling over.

It maybe that the place they are heading just isnt suitable for fans to be there.

Should clarify, by ‘we’ I meant the club. And appreciate there’s been nothing direct but the actions (or lack of) say enough.

Difference is Prem sides literally do it for the money - getting the brand visible in growing markets. I'm sure most of the managers and players privately fucking hate it and find it counter productive.

We're doing this to get the players fit for next season.

And there’s the direct communication. Slightly disappointing.

So it's 5 aside then.

 

[Greggs]

All the players sharing 1 bedroom at the hotel apparently. Also trying to organise a few 6 asides with the locals. What a shit show.

 

[Balli001]

Disgrace really, king really upsetting a lot of loyal supporters

Hardly a disgrace is it? Upset a few supporters who may have gone thats it

@GIMOC fault apparently, invading the players personal space once too often.

How ?

guilty as charged. robins decision based on what happened last year

Why? Are they not allowed to have a private training session and match to try things out without the public present? Does your work open every meeting up to the public?

I've heard that Adi Viveash is bringing some balls in his Daewoo

More likely requested by MR.

And yeah, let's not do the necessary pre-season preparations so a few fans who want to watch the training aren't pissed off.

It was a request from Robins. don’t blame him in one way but in the past pre season tours have been good opportunity for fans to be with players in relaxed surroundings. I’ve been to a couple and it’s been good and players have been terrific with fans.

 

[Sick Boy]

I went to the one in Ibiza when I was 19 - it was brilliant.

You perfectly explain the reasons why he wants it behind closed doors. He doesnt want fawning fans distracting the players.

If you would read what I put. I agree with it but doesn’t mean it’s fair on the fans many of whom have booked flights and accommodation as it was common knowledge of location and where the players are staying for the week

I was there as well, only time I've been on a pre season tour.

Well more fool them. The club hadnt made anything official and they booked purely based on internet guesswork and assumption. Zero sympathy for them

It wasn’t guesswork. The hotel details were openly shared amongst many back in May.

Can you show we where the club officially announced that public admittance was possible for the tour?. The first time they mentioned the tour was today. Publically shared by everybody but the club yet im meant to feel sorry for fans who couldnt wait for confirmation.

lol - you are making a tit of yourself here. you must have been the only person not to know Portugal was booked for the team months ago. many and I mean many knew months ago, details shared amongst many fans. Majority of the same fans who were in Spain last year.

plus Flights are cheaper in advance. So many would have booked early to get a good deal.

Clearly reading is selective on your part. I asked where the club announced the tour and that fans were allowed to watch. Im not denying we knew when it was im asking you a straight forward question of was it officially announced by the club yes or no?

But not once did the club themselves actually say it was happening, let alone that fans would be welcome. And surely that's who you should be taking the information from.

I've no doubt if it had turned out to be bollocks or the club rearranged same said fans would be up in arms about the club not telling them it wasn't the case.

How on earth do they manage to play in a stadium with 20,000 watching them each week then?

Think this line of reasoning is pathetic.
