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 .

Indeed. A Spanish team is all I recall

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.

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

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

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

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?

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.

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

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 😀

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.
