CCFC not playing Saudi's anymore but will play Stum Graz (1 Viewer)

[AFCCOVENTRY]

In another twist we won't play the Saudi team now but will play Austrian champions FC Stum Graz. That's a much better opponent!

Looks like being a different class of opponent for #SkyBlues in Austria... bit.ly/29QMk5H #pusb

North or south?

Wonder why it's changed? Poor organisation (assuming on the Saudis behalf).

Could be worse, I could be playing the "I know more than you, but I can't tell you" game on as many threads as I can.

Isn't that also more commonly known as 'Truth or Sisu?'

Saudi team did a runner all applied for political asylum and have joined the labour party!

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

According to Sturm Graz Twitter, there will be a live stream of the game. That's my Saturday afternoon sorted then

They also seem to have nearly got one of SBT's members as a hashtag...CovStu is now #Stucov

Of course after all there is a Wasps training session being televised on the same day

Pretty poor IMO. Yes, better opposition (although the Saudi Arabia team might have been half decent? Who knows), but this is now being played essentially in a park. The training ground.

To do it at such short notice, after making two announcements before this one, first suggesting the game was a Friday, then Saturday at 3, now Saturday at 11am, different locations each time, it is a little embarrassing!

Suspect they will blame the management company who arrange these things, but they have to take some of the flack. To leave it so late before announcing something then still going on to change those late notice arrangements is poor IMO

 

[ccfcway]

It's a shame for those who made arrangements.

Maybe they will make it up to you by allowing you to have photos with the new signings.

If it is a shit management company not s lot the club could have really done differently apart from not use them next time is there? Saying that the first team could have just fucked them around. Maybe theyre in the shit financially cause of the oil price

Surely there are reputable companies in the footballing world who can do things in advance?

Similar happened in Holland when the first fixture was changed quite late on, and we ended up playing in Germany!

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Just some's up the football club, couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery .:facepalm: :bag:

The Sturm Gratz manager has a copy of the 87 cup final video and thought we were still in the Premiership then a reality check on our website paved the way for a game down the park with the local yout team - hey ho !

 

[pipkin73]

Got to say that this is not unique to CCFC. I do the Sport posters for the bars over here in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria.
I hate this time of year, as I can print out posters for the weekend (info gained on Wed) and by Saturday times have regularly changed (even the match day) and these are televised games never mind low key games like ours.

 

[ccfchoi87]

If anyone wants to watch!

 

[sw88]

Ha, just posted this is in other thread.......
