Pre season announced

Aye. It’s a positive in the fact it shows we’re developing as a club. A negative in the aspect these things aren’t built for our fans or even the players.

Still, it’s the pros & cons of becoming a successful football club. Can’t have it all our own way.

Aye agree. Beats bobbing around league one I suppose

Food:
- Hattie B’s (Nashville hot chicken)
- Assembly food hall
It’s downtown Nashville in the midst of all the honky tonks. Has a bunch of different restaurants in one place.
- House of cards (little nicer/pricier)
A speak-easy restaurant with good steaks, cigars, drinks, etc. they have magicians that do card magic going around to each table during the night.

Bars/Pubs:
- just go to broadway (downtown Nashville). They’re everywhere.

Live music:
- Broadway honky tonks
- Ryman auditorium
- grand ole opry

Best places to stay:
- the soccer/football stadium is about 10-15 min drive from downtown. It’s pricier to stay downtown but there’s more to do.
- if you need a cheaper place, I’d suggest looking around the Music Valley in the Donelson area. It’s still about 15 min from the stadium. You can hit up the Opryland hotel as well as Opry Mills mall (shops restaurants)

Random stuff:
- jack Daniel’s distillery tour. It’s about a 45min drive from Nashville but it’s a great tour in a cool little town. You could spend 2-3 hours there.
- take in a minor league baseball game. Pretty cheap tickets.
- pedal taverns (if you like to drink)

Or if you wanna go to church on Sunday, you’re more than welcome at the church I go to. 😁

I’m barred from there for no shows & public drunkenness 😜
 
Know a few Everton fans who went over last year for the same tournament (I think) and said it was absolutely mint. Apparently "soccer" fans from the US turn up, so you see shirts from every single team and everyone is just buzzed to meet UK fans.

Also it's a really big opportunity for the club to properly market themselves. Some clubs will do the bare minimum of pflying a palyer or two over or whatever. Others do big events with podcasts, or chances for fans to meet players etc.

Can imagine this is orchestrated by David Bruce with a savy business head on to increase our profile over there and hopefully future revenue.

Can see how this will appeal to Yanks, you'll have the superclub that is Liverpool, Leeds with Aaranson, Wrexham who are USA darlings for obvious reasons then ourselves who are the 'Netflix club'. Should attract a lot of new fans hopefully.

Are you suggesting that we'll sign a high profile USA player before this tournament starts ?
 
Everyone take a second phone with no social media on it

Also if you look vaguely brown I'd recommend giving it a miss
