Steve Watts Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Price has been pitched right and it's the only chance outside of travelling to Cheltenham or Aldershot of seeing the boys pre season.

Topper 123 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 7 hours ago, BrizzleRed said: 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. You seem a bitter fan who has never made very many friends alas poor old “ no friends “ a lot have us have developed friendships with the boys from willem and are really looking forward to meeting up again and I’d thank the club for listening to the fans . It’s a shame your missus doesn’t let you travel further than Ashton as I’m sure you would have enjoyed Tilburg 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 10 hours ago, city1983 said: i disagree. this is going to be so tinpot it's unreal. There is no connection between the two clubs, just between a few handful of people who are making something out of nothing. Hopefully when we get an attendance no bigger than if we were to play bournemouth the this "connection" will be put to bed once and for all. That’s the spirit - never try anything ever because @city1983 will criticise it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 7 hours ago, City Rocker said: What an odd thing to say. 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. That's a good thing, right? Why wouldn't you want that? odd isn’t it - I think it’s essentially that Robbored mentality of being scornful of anything they’re not involved with directly.

One is that I fancy a day out with my mates and my son and can enjoy it without the normal stress of a City Matchday. Next is that the same group of mates and I are planning a trip out to Holland to watch Willem II this season and it will be good to meet up with some of them for a few ciders before and after. After Saturday it will then be back to the serious business and as such I can just enjoy Saturday as a day out with like minded people with some Hard Techno thrown in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been all that brave with trying to get involved with stuff, don't want to be super duper involved with stuff really, but it would be nice to pop along + figure out how to watch a Willem II game whilst I'm here (a home one as I have actually been to a game where they were playing in before,,, I shan't mention the opposition though!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
