Nobody fucking knows yet. Not even Simon Richards!

Until it's on Arse.com, it won't happen.

We are playing in the Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup on July 26 in So'ton though, according to a lot of reliable sources.

someone on twitter has just said Cologne is sunday evening 12th August, but Colognes season starts August 3rd, so why are they going to play twice in a weekend including us in a friendly, i dont believe it :rubchin:

Fair point :lol: are you going? I dunno if I can be bothered to be honest, need to be saving money to do 15-20 aways next year.

@Crocit - If Cologne happens I reckon it will be in July. Can't see either us or them wanting it in August. Would be an absolutely blinding piss up if it did happen, I doubt it mind.

Yeah, i'll probably be at both. Went to uni in Soton so will be good to go back, there's decent drinking there!

According to goonertalk.com we've been invited by Barcelona to play in the Joan Gamper trophy in August at the Camp Nou.

Wouldn't mind another trip over there.

Is it just the one game or are there several games spread over a few days?

It's always been just the one game, doubt it will change this year.

Not interested in this to be honest. Flight prices will be horrific, Barcelona are *word censored* & Camp Nou is an atmosphere-less multi storey car park.

Would rather go to Cologne...
