Ticket News Pre-season friendlies (away) including trip to Ireland

[Smiffy]

With some proper notice, we might of taken a decent number for some craic. Frustrating.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Cripes - that is surprising. Ireland - quite a cost getting over there plus accommodation I would have thought.

 

[SHRIMPERR]

Nothing like a bit of warm weather training under the scorching Irish sun

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Not that far from Dublin Airport if anyone is thinking of going!

 

[Shrimper]

Won't cheap at short notice but possibly next season we'll get a Euro Trip

[Yorkshire Blue]

I reckon that’s the u19s but I do think we’re a match or two light.

Seems like Maher agrees!

Yep, I hope this is something @Shrimperstrust can raise with the new ownership.

I’d like to think that with greater financial stability and no longer a hand to mouth existence the club will be able to plan and announce these things well before the season ends. I know these matches aren’t primarily about the fans but this would have been a very popular trip to attend had there been sufficient time to arrange. No doubt it would be cheaper for the club (or whoever is paying) to organise as well.

I'd love next season for the club to visit Ireland, Scotland or Wales pre-season.

Be brilliant to travel to some new grounds and have a weekend away.

The article that the club put out says that they are Leinster Senior League which is the third tier of Irish football

Do you think this friendly in Ireland has been arranged so final preparations can be made at fossetts farm training ground?

Is there a time frame in which we have to leave boots and laces?

 

[Callumturner22]

I just spoke to a relative in Ireland and he said they are like a Sunday league team

 

[Evening Echo]

That's what I thought. What a strange fixture. I wonder how this came about.

Bit odd for sure

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

I reckon this is part of the Tshimanga deal:

Make an appearance in Europe!

 

[Booma]

I’ll be honest, I’m delighted, I work in Dublin Tuesday and Wednesdays , it’ll give me something to do on Tuesday night. It’s not far from where I stay either

I’ll ask a few of the local lads tomorrow see what I can find out.

that's alright, we are like a Saturday team, I think you are all reading to much in to this, I would assume after all the **** they have gone through this is merely a team bonding trip with some exercise and football thrown in! perfect for the lads and well deserved , lets face it we proved last season we don't need a pre season at all!!
