starliaisonOptimist Sorry I didn't realise making money was such a bad thing nowadays. I'm not asking for Barcelona, just a team who are going to be at a similar level to the ones we'll be playing this season.
From what I was told last time we were in this position, playing any European team costs so much that it is hard to make a friendly make money - hence when we played Feyenoord there was a bonus in the form of Royalty Points to make sure the cost of the opposition was at least covered.
Just to raise a "grrrrr" from those who wanted a better friendly or two, apparently Norwich have Borussia Moenchengladbach and Ajax, while southampton have arranged games against Arsenal(!), Rangers, Ajax and Udinese.
Playing a Scottish Div 3 team at home is a bit odd though, although it apparently mightily pissed off Pompey fans, who thought they had a solidarity with Rangers by both being "stitched up" by the tax man.
