Totally agree about the absurdity of trouble in pee-season. The conditions present last year v Blackpool aren’t necessarily present this (Friday rather than Saturday, under 17’s need to be accompanied, segregation is better) so hopefully common sense will prevail. Just need everyone from both sides to behave as befitting a very early pre-season friendlyPort on the Kent wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 9:06 pm Shouldn't be any bother in pre-season friendlies. They are friendlies. Nobody cares about the outcome. Anyone causing grief at a match is an idiot, but doubly so in friendlies.
But given we have previous, matches against Morecambe and Blackpool seem to facilitate it.

Re: Pre-season friendlies
Providing it's governed properly, it's an opportunity for the club to put to bed some of the negative publicity and prove to those who may have been put from attending due to crowd trouble, that the neccessary safe guarding steps are in place. My cynical mind believes the club are dangling temptation, in the hope that if there was trouble, they could oust the individuals/group who have caused so many problems last season.

The Blackpool game will be almost certainly, they stream all of their pre-season matches and their U-21 games on their YouTube channel

Re: Pre-season friendlies
No bother, as PitS said, there's a good chance it'll be a PPV on Box Office with an expected viewership in the tens of millionsportexileinbath wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 11:42 pmMany thanks David..... but I was trying to add a wee bit more humour into the threadDavid_1276 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 11:33 pmThe Blackpool game will be almost certainly, they stream all of their pre-season matches and their U-21 games on their YouTube channel

Re: Pre-season friendlies
Only tens of millions ?. With the world's population at about 8 billion, one has to question why so few will watch it......or is it LW's fault (again).David_1276 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2023 1:02 amNo bother, as PitS said, there's a good chance it'll be a PPV on Box Office with an expected viewership in the tens of millionsportexileinbath wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 11:42 pmMany thanks David..... but I was trying to add a wee bit more humour into the threadDavid_1276 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 11:33 pm
