Not me. I'm taking a whole bunch of trainees to Stoney Cove Saturday and Sunday.

Well, we brought the same number home as we started off with, so I guess you could call day 1 a success :icon_lol:

Going Ashes at Edgbaston instead, will probably be more exciting even if its rained off

Friendlies are a waste of time. I'd even sooner try to survive Mrs BB's Sunday dinner.......

You'd sooner the players started the season with no match time under their belt?

Half paced tempo, no crowd atmosphere, too many substitutions, and games that result wise mean feck all.

Players need the mileage, but rubbish for fans imo.

It would have been nice if they let season ticket holders in for nothing as a thank you for their loyalty, and everyone else for £5-£10.
After all its hardly an attractive fixture

It would be interesting to know how much the vistors fee was, but even £5 for STs would have have rewarded loyalty somewhat and probably produced a bigger gate, more atmosphere, and possibly a similar turnover when you also take shop/concourse sales into account.

The concourse outlets are operated by a contractor so theres no benefit to the club there, so they wouldnt take this in to account.
