Title: Pre-season friendlies
Post by: taxi Phil on April 29, 2017, 08:48:34 AM
Remembering that home games are against clubs higher up the pyramid, and away games against those lower, I'd like something along the lines of the following :

Home : Crewe Alexandra, Stockport County, Chester

Away : Trafford, Hyde United, Buxton

I think it's important to play realistic opposition to fully appreciate our potential.

I think Buxton are in the pub league too, but I basically agree with your point. I guess we'll get a United team too and possibly Macc given the Neil Sorvel connection.

Buxton are indeed in the same league as us.....what a silly bunt I am.

Witton if they don't come up (I hope they do though). If not, Bamber Bridge perhaps. But NOT Droylsden thank you.

We tend to play a Counties team, usually Abbey Hey but last year Widnes. Wouldn't be surprised if we had Alsager this year as Phil used to manage them
Bet we don't put 12 past them.....

An away friendly at West Didsbury and Chorlton would be a good one to start with. Finished top half of NWCL Premier Division and the ground is in Chorlton Green which is great for a drink!!

I'd be happy with that. A few of my mates go and watch them so would be a top afrnoon out on the beer.

We should do one in spain or France and treat the fans to some fun in the sun for all the pain

Last time I was in Rhyl, two years ago, even the sea had given up on the place.

I remember https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=%2b9BgVGdx&id=9068B0A7B859C35D186AA75C79635FCC965C1497&thid=OIP.-9BgVGdxueSg7yhQpnUh_AEsDG&q=rhyl+monorail&simid=608031366131878028&selectedIndex=0&ajaxhist=0

Now its more https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=7lZjeh%2bL&id=AA612F8DEC1DF52E12270C536BF0327124C5646B&thid=OIP.7lZjeh-LPY2BLuySaA0GtQEsC1&q=images+of+sh*t+in+rhyl&simid=608045445033362485&selectedIndex=1

ironically the first picture caused the second. A 1 million pound monorail to no where that no one wanted which bankrupted the council

Rhyl used to be a beautiful place with busy beaches full challets and Erics bikes

No flights required for me. Of course the problem with that is that the Airtricity league here is a summer league so I can't see any of the clubs wanting to play friendlies against us.....mind you we're probably more suited to playing Junior league clubs here at this stage of proceedings......yes, arrange some against some Leinster League sides

TNS would suit me. perhaps they could use it as prep for their champions league fixtures

Isle of Man where they could play their National side or play their League Champions. League clubs used to play in a pre-season tournament in the IOM during the 90s.
