SecretSam Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Really looking forward to this one, my first game as a BCFC member and my first since returning to Bristol! Anyway, which kits will the sides be wearing, as there's a kit clash - it kind of might be nice for Willem II to wear their home kit, as our guests? Plus, I much prefer our away kit to the home kit this season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that a few of our fans & their fans have created a binding between them, which is nice - but beyond those involved in that, I can't imagine anyone is in the slightest bit inspired by this game & I'd be surprised if there were much more than 5k in attendance for it, maybe 10k at a push. I'm actually amazed that the club have embraced the idea of arranging the game, although I know there have been calls for it for a few years now - I can't help but think it's come frome a vocal & admirally passionate few, who enjoy the unofficial link up with this Dutch club, rather than anything that the majority are interested or possibly even very aware of. Hope I'm wrong & it's a big success The i-talians have a word for this - gemallagio - and if you type it in i-talics - gemellagio - it looks like yer really inter-lectual and you read La Gazzetto Dello Sport on a Monday, sipping a cappuccino, like that James Richardson on C4 in the '90s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokeren, was arrested for corruption in Belgian football. After Ivan Leko, Maes is the second coach to be imprisoned in this case[12][13][14] In July 2023, Maes reached a settlement with the federal prosecutor's office, agreeing to pay a fine to the tax authorities and to the public prosecutor's office as well as repaying any money shown to have been unlawfully earned.[15] This concluded his portion of the investigation and cleared the way for his return to managing football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have always said, there are hundreds of people connected with both clubs who have an affiliation with each other that in many situations goes further than watching football together But also it should be recognised that there are those that have no interest in the connection, but it is very wrong to imply there isn't any connection Perhaps you should come down on Saturday get to chat with a football fan from another country and enjoy the opportunity of seeing a side live that you many never get the chance to see again 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not involved personally but I would certainly go over there for a friendly if it happened and I think several hundred others would aswell. I reckon if we were playing Bournemouth the gate would be 5-7k I think there will more than that on Saturday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem pretty bitter about this game, so why do you appear to have a problem with this? Not being funny, but just curious as to why you seem so anti about a friendly between two clubs, due to a long running and positive relationship between significant groups from both their respective fanbases. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no connection with any Willem fans, but I'm pleased the friendship exists, and it was great to see, for example, a big group of very vocal Willem lads swelling our away numbers at Sunderland last season and making a great atmosphere.
