The Real Buh 1,786 Posted Thursday at 16:07 Does anybody remember that behind closed doors friendly we played in Germany a few years ago where we won like 35-0 and then the German team got all aggy and said the game never happened and we were lying or something or was that my imagination lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 358 Posted Thursday at 16:08 Its l been mentioned on other threads that we asked for our first game to be played away due to relaying the pitch after the recent concerts. I'd guess this is why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd guess this is why. I wonder how much a new pitch costs in relation to revenue generated from two concerts? Must be worth it otherwise I suppose they wouldnt have agreed.

They could have picked Lille, Rennes, Valenciennes, Auxerre basically anyone north of Lyon tbh but Marseille in summer.

Possibly thought it was Germany though i think it was we said it was a team but it was actually just a load of blokes they found at the park or something we tonked them, 35-0 might be an exaggeration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real Buh 1,786 Posted Thursday at 16:28 https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/report-city-13-0-regional-select-xi  I found it! 13-0 Nodge, smashed a load of eurotrash farmhands. No mercy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I watched some of the highlights and Wes was walking it past players and casually scored an audacious lob. The team who we thought we were playing went public to deny any involvement in the match.   1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First instinct when you said Germany was "wait, was it in Bolzano, or anywhere in South Tyrol as that's the part of Italy where plenty actually speak German?", but it was the other side of the country. Was pretty damn certain it was Italy though, I vaguely remembered the beef over the team name! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judging by the amount of beer bottles, plastic glasses etc left after the Killers concert the takings would have dwarfed that from a regular home match. The pitch was literally covered by the metal mats to protect the ground underneath and act as a giant speaker!
