They're having a brand new pitch put down, I can't see them having any home friendlies.

Situated on the River Liene and the largest city and capital of the Lower Saxony state in Germany, Hannover is one place I'd love to see our team play in on a relaxing, stress free August afternoon. It is an important commercial center with a culture rich in arts and music. Germany's famous event, the Oktoberfest, is also held in Hannover and it is one of the best times to visit this beautiful city, so I've read on the internet.

Is the Oktoberfest not held in Munich 4:20 ?

Would have been funny if we had reached the final and thought we were playing down the road!

Mind you, transport would still go up to £700 overnight!

Three team tournament. Burnley, Helmond and Hannover.

You're right, it is, that's the famous one but it turns out there's a few harvest festivals knocking about in Germany, Hannover hosting quite a large one according to the translated wiki page... Google were a bit cheeky in their wording though originally, I ended up thinking the Hannover one was THE world renowned one, feel cheated now, like someone's tried to flog me a pair of Adadis trainers...

Down here of course preferably at Coronation Field the home of Topsham Town FC who play in the Devon and Exeter Premier League.

Guaranteed decent weather and everyone likes the West Country relaxing for the players and staff as well.

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Fri May 10, 2019 10:01 pm

I believe we are going to Spain for a training camp but no games.

Suspect the rest will be underwhelming but essential fitness friendlies!

Would love to see a prestigious friendly. Perhaps one with a bit of sentiment (Ajax, Hamburg or Frankfurt!?)

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Fri May 10, 2019 10:26 pm

After the excitement of last summer I think Dyche will want to keep pre season as dull and low key as possible. I definitely wouldn't get my hopes up for any glamorous friendlys.

Salford must be considered a decent option,fairly local reasonable standard of opposition,and of course the Grezza connection.

I was thinking we'd once played there in pre-season but it was Penzance.

Another shout for Newquay please as I know someone who lives there and haven't seen him for about 14 years or so.

Used to be Morecambe but seems that Preston is now our local lower league team of choice

and you would be wrong on both the country and the number of games ... you need a new informant.

Off to the South of France, including a friendly against Marseille.

A training camp is happening in Portugal. No games reported as yet.

I hope you’re right about them being in Portugal and I hope there’s a game as I’m in the Algarve from the 15th July for two weeks!

I remember when the first team would play the reserves on the Turf the Saturday before the season started. That was it.

They are going to Portugal at some point. I suspect that will be pre season training camp.
Same place as last time. Quinta Do Lago.

775claret · Post by **775claret** » Wed May 22, 2019 10:35 am

Dyche is having a villa built on the Algrave. During the last training camp he took the opportunity to check up on progress so suspect it will be the same this time.

If we only play a game behind closed doors then this is a backward step in my opinion

Why on earth should BFC be playing any games behind closed doors?
