AjcW Posted 21 March 2016 Posted 21 March 2016 It'll all be officially confirmed tomorrow according to ICC Twitter so hopefully more sense out of it then
Bayfox Posted 21 March 2016 Posted 21 March 2016 What's this broadcast on I'm in ibiza for the Celtic game and can't make psg either. However 3rd of August for barca. Tempting.
sylofox Posted 21 March 2016 Posted 21 March 2016 Like Cnut, I sit in the sea of brands telling the waves lapping at my feet to fúck off. The entire notion of building markets abroad is bullshit for one simple reason - football clubs are for local fans. If you weren't born here or your parents weren't born here then you picked the club for some nebulous reason...and that's not how football works. But before the caterwauling begins, I know I'm an anachronism and I'm sure your personal choice to support the team following a great stag do in 1996 is valid. But. Like my desire to see the Big 4 collapse, the Sky TV deal to evaporate and the Prem to once more become the 1st Division - brand building pre-season competitions can suck my micropenis. Of course I'll watch it on an illegal stream. I'll watch it because I love the club and I'm a massive hypocrite about almost everything I have an opinion on. But, one final time, anybody using the word "brand" in connection with the team needs to take their marketing department bullshit and shove it somewhere painful. Brand? Fúck off. If there is any room left can they stick the word SOCCER in the same orifice.
Jordan Posted 21 March 2016 Posted 21 March 2016 If there is any room left can they stick the word SOCCER in the same orifice. We'll give it right back to you--the folks that invented the word--that is, if you can fit it, considering you'd have to have a big stick up your ass in order to get upset about such a petty matter.
st albans fox Posted 21 March 2016 Posted 21 March 2016 Sounds like this tournement finishes a few days before the charity shield. we could be cream crackered before we've kicked a ball in anger!
Detroit Blues Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 Sounds like this tournement finishes a few days before the charity shield. we could be cream crackered before we've kicked a ball in anger! I'd imagine this would be a good time to test out the new transfers and young guns like demarii gray and Ben chilwell (should he remain.) I think with the added competitions abroad well be spending money to bring in quality depth.
GaelicFox Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 Hope it's at the MetLife one of our games !!!! Being a huge jets fan I know the stadium and area well Would be a great trip to make
EastAnglianFox Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 Signed up to the website for tickets when they are released, hope they are not gonna charge an extortionate amount for them.
evostic Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 Apparent fixture leak ! http://www.squawka.com/news/summer-fixture-schedules-for-liverpool-chelsea-and-leicester-leaked/625853
Footballwipe Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 If there is any room left can they stick the word SOCCER in the same orifice. Don't be a dick Gotta keep telling myself these are meaningless friendlies. Just keep telling myself that so I don't end up buying a ticket to California for PSG or for the Barca game. I'll gladly wake up at 3am to watch the match on TV but if I tell myself enough I'll realise the money is best towards the UCL away games!
Larry_LCFC Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 Meh. Personally rather keep our feet firmly planted on the ground with a normal tried and tested pre-season. Our fitness levels are immense this season which preseason last year has a lot to do with. Ofcourse its great for the club etc but I wouldn't be arsed if we hadn't been invited. Save playing the big boys for the CL.
Dan Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 Didn't realise it was that Stillitano behind it. Wish we'd told him where to go.
AjcW Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 Celtic Vs Barcelona is reported to be at the AVIVA in Dublin. With our fixture 3 days later against Barca surely it will either be in Spain or at the KP? It happened last season, even the "North America" fixtures had some hosted in Europe
Stevosevic Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 I read that we play Celtic in Glasgow.... I guess we'll find out more at 3pm
Benguin Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 We are really going to need to invest in more squad players with the added competitions.
Dan Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 Small club mentally...! IF we have been invited and it suits our preseason, of course we should go ? No brainier . If that pr*ck hadn't of made his comments would people be so against it? Nope. That's my sole reason for not being a fan of it. It's hypocrisy.
Footballwipe Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 Celtic Vs Barcelona is reported to be at the AVIVA in Dublin. With our fixture 3 days later against Barca surely it will either be in Spain or at the KP? It happened last season, even the "North America" fixtures had some hosted in Europe That would make sense. The Community Shield, if we were to be in it, would be on the 7 August (I think) so it's logical to have the friendly in Leics/Europe somewhere as we have the comm shield just four days later.
Mayofox Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 Apparently Celtic aren't keen to cross the Atlantic to play their games. So on 17th July, could we playing them at Celtic Park?
Babylon Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 Apparently Celtic aren't keen to cross the Atlantic to play their games. So on 17th July, could we playing them at Celtic Park? You'd have thought it would be a neutral venue?
AjcW Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 You'd have thought it would be a neutral venue? Most likely... the idea of the tournament is to reach fans in different venues, hence Barca playing Celtic in Dublin. However Fiorentina Vs Barca was in Florence and Chelsea Vs Fiorentina was at Stamford Bridge last year. Would also expect the addition of a fixture against an MLS side in there as the North America leg is always 4 games.
Bert Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 We will only play one game in USA and it will be in LA.
Dan Posted 22 March 2016 Posted 22 March 2016 I read we'd play Celtic in Dublin. Annoying as I'd be all over that but I just can't bring myself to hand money to something Charlie "Leicester aren't needed in the CL even though I'm literally a US sports executive" Stillitano initiated.
