      Summer Friendlies or tournaments
      May 06, 2008 03:59:01 pm
      With the season nearly over has anybody heard of any pre-season friendly matches or tournaments

      the only rumours I have heard so far is Rangers and the possibility of a North American tour, I was hoping for a European tournament, where the wife can be hoodwinked be enticed by a long weekend of sun ;)

      From the Daily Record

      Rangers set for summer friendly with Benitez's Liverpool
      Apr 19 2008 By David Mccarthy

      Exclusive

      RANGERS could face Champions League hopefuls Liverpool in a sell-out glamour friendly at Ibrox in the summer.

      The SPL leaders are in talks with the Premiership giants and are hoping a deal can be struck.

      Rangers are also considering an offer from Spanish outfit Atletico Bilbao, who are looking to play pre-season friendlies in Britain.

      The Ibrox club have yet to decide whether to take the fixture but it would be another stern summer test for Walter Smith and his players.

      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Has anyone heard of any?

      The only one I've heard of, was the one in Toronto.
      I'd like to think this was on the back burner now - due to it being a money spinner for Hicks.

      I'm thinking of going to some in Europe again, if anybodies interested in meeting up wherever we play.

      I know were not in rotterdam this year. Remember seeing an ad for it on TV week or so ago. Cant remember who was mentioned, but we werent. Doubt we will be in the Asia cup either as it tends to be different teams each year.

      Dont know why, but Ive got a feeling we might be in the Amsterdam Tournament. Dont quote me on that as Im nto 100% sure, just recall reading it or seeing it somewhere recently

      Not heard of anything yet myself. But if we were to play in the Amsterdam thing, I reckon I might try get to that.

      That would be ace that! Or at least play one friendly at Anfield. I remember last year there was a bit of a grumble that we haven't had one here for a while.

      More than a grumble.  Think the Valencia clash may have been the last decent pre-season game at Anfield to be honest.

      I am fairly sure I heard that we were doing the Asia thing again - but I'm prepared to be corrected on that one.

      2008 will see Feyenoord Rotterdam celebrate its 100 year anniversary with a celebratory Feyenoord Jubileum Toernooi on Friday 1st and Sunday 3rd August 2008. Feyenoord will play host to Celtic FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC and BV Borussia Dortmund, the three teams they beat in the European Cup and UEFA Cup Finals of 1970, 1974 and 2002.

      Dont know why, but Ive got a feeling we might be in the Amsterdam Tournament. Dont quote me on that as Im nto 100% sure, just recall reading it or seeing it somewhere recently

      Amsterdam would be good, it was 2003 last time we entered.

      Rumours of a friendly versus Atletico... but now that Atletico in the Champions League, doubt it will happen.

      Could we meet Atletico or Barcelona in the CL qualifiers?

      Should warn you it's a garbage night out in Stockport!

      Dare I say it, M**chester would be a better bet after the game.

      Just got a new fridge actually! One of them American style ones, with the ice dispenser! Get alot of Stella in it too :D
