Don’t get me started on that one! At least there are *some* friendlies in California. We have absolutely nothing here in Florida.

Just was notified today that Manchester City will begin their training in Portland, OR at the Nike campus on July 13th. They will play their first pre-season game against the Portland Timbers on July 17th on the campus of the University of Portland. The venue seats about 4500 people and the tickets are only going to season ticket holders so it should be quite rowdy. Wait till they get a load of us.
Chull
May 12, 2010 at 9:05 pm
Alot of Rangers and Stoke fans seem to think that their game on the 7th August is being played at the Britannia not St. Marys. But if this is true, and Port Vale are at home on the opening day of the football league season then surely the police would not allow it?
Chull
