I went to last season’s home pre season match by myself, really enjoyed it tbh. Would’ve laughed my head off if someone had told me that day the season we would go on to have.

I've just sat in the home end when we played them there previously, didn't have any issues. Albeit they might be slightly more busy given we are in the prem now and they're back in L2. We were in L1 when I last went.

i was away last year but this summer got friends visiting from france that weekend so its absolutely ideal.
hopefully they price it well and it'll be a good attendance. hoy in a loyalty point and you'd be looking at 30,000+

I think a loyalty point is the only chance you’ve got. If people didn’t turn up for Xhaka’s debut then nothing else will entice them
Metro is off and the A1 is closed that day too.The Mag rail engineers will have engineering work on the East Coast Main Line for that weekend marra.
Replacement bus service all the way

Personally don’t think they should be giving loyalty points for attending a friendly, and I say that as someone whose points have been on the decline in recent years. They’re good days out, we went to the other one a few years ago and mixed up our matchday routine by drinking down the coast instead of town pre match. Even if you don’t drink, it’s a day out in the sun and warm weather spent at our brilliant stadium with all the improvements being made around it, and without the pressure or nerves of a big ‘real’ match. With being by myself I had a walk down from Southwick, around the ground, down Roker Avenue and had a pint in the Navy Club, match, then back over town and got the bus home.

Anyone reckon u21s might also have a few friendlies? I've promised the bairn and away game. It just needs to be at any ground that isn't the SOL.

i just think its an easy win for the club. they aren't going to get much, if any, backlash off the fans for doing it, and it'll add 10,000+ onto the attendance with all the spending that comes with that.
i disagreed in general with the sheff utd loyalty point last season, as the whole reason it was potentially going to be a low turn out was due to the rediculous kick off time coupled with no public transport. it penalised those who physically couldn't get there, generally ST holders who live further afield
one home friendly a year, saturday 3pm kick off in the middle of summer with 2+ months notice to arrange yourself for it, seems like an open goal for the club to add a loyalty point in the mix and get some good PR for getting 30,000+ for a friendly. it would look fanstastic to both current players and new players
Makes sense getting a couple of games with decent French sides. SAFC - French - Owner, DOF, Head Coach and key players like ELF, Nordi and Wilson. I believe we get quite a bit of positive and in depth coverage by the French Sports Media, good to build on the connection.
The Mag rail engineers will have engineering work on the East Coast Main Line for that weekend marra.

There are engineering works on the Durham Coast Line that weekend. Will have to get the bus to one of the statins on the main line.

Suspect that will be because we're starting late due to WC, id imagine 21s/18 will play either of them

I was sick to death of telling people that pre season results mean nowt.
I’ll expect I’ll be doing similar again.
Yes, but he is also from a very prominent French family and was raised primarily in Marseille. The point being we are apparently quite football news-worthy in France. Because of him, Regis, Florent and the others.
