Petriix 3,207 Posted June 7, 2020 Seems like a good idea. Two evenly matched teams who have already fought three close matches this season. It will be a good test for both sides in preparation for the restart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be surprised if teams using the entrance near the score board, turn up, play and then leave, as not sure changing rooms etc are off limits.

A coincidence or is somebody looking at this forum for info ? 😜 I must be honest Til I looked to see if anyone else had mentioned it, but couldn't see anything in the main site or the forum, so posted. Just popped up on my alerts, so thought I'd share. Up until now I thought we were only playing qpr. So I would assume it's spurs away and qpr at home, if the dates work. As per my other post, don't see much value in playing friendlies at training grounds / neutral venues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other than the actual playing / footballing side, that's not what these friendlies are for as I understand. Whilst that is a benefit It's also to make the players get used to playing in large empty stadia, and the mechanics of hosting that too.

A coincidence or is somebody looking at this forum for info ? 😜 I don’t think that’s a coincidence, John, many a time I notice that it appears what’s posted on this message board prompts many of publications. It might be a thread about a debate on something and then one of the writers picks up on it and has their say, which is fair enough. I remember posting on here on a Saturday early evening that my friend who’s a relative of a current Liverpool player told me that Cantwell will be joining Liverpool this summer to replace the squad position of the departing Adam Lallana (not sure if Covid-19 has affected this though) and miraculously within something like 16 hours later it was on their transfer rumours updates, by the Monday it was a snippet in many of the national rags. I got in trouble for that ha ha. Can’t say that it’s certain I’m responsible but I found it more than a bit strange and one hell of a coincidence given that there was no firm link to this previously so it makes you wonder. p.s I reckon the Spurs game might be on YouTube.

I hear you, but I’d imagine our competitors are already well aware of how we play by now, it’s hardly going to be earth shattering news. I mean if we suddenly start playing like Burnley, fair enough, though I will be furious ha ha You’d think we’d waited long enough for football to return, the respective clubs showing their ‘preseason friendlies’ for free on YouTube would have been a nice touch I feel - but perhaps I’m wrong, though not seen any update about this today?
