Stuka Yep! Having been in correspondence respective Support's Trusts for both clubs, I'll post here if I here any news.

If this did happen, Could they please have us standing on the Wee Dublin End and not seated in the grandstand as that would suck donkey dick.

"What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?
Fans are housed in one side of the Grandstand, towards the Dublin End of the ground. There are a fair few pillars in this stand that may impede your view and the leg room is on the tight side. For larger games then the Wee Dublin End can also be allocated for away fans to use. A visit to Cappielow is normally a relaxed day out and the Morton fans do their best to get behind their team."

Playing against another team that wears blue and white hoops, in a ground that is so reminiscent of dear old Elm Park, with a bar and a fish and chip shop very close by.... Does it get any better than this?

With regards to the Pre Season Friendlies in Portugal, has anyone heard of the Guadiana Cup in the Algarve. Everton seemed to be participating in it and its during the same time Reading are in Portugal.
Its a cup hosted by Benfica

Benfica is in Lisbon, Reading are going to the Algarve - nowhere near Lisbon.

Palace - very underwhelming....

Why would they announce the fixture before the deal is done?

Wimbledon at the Cherry Red Records Stadium (that's Kingsmeadow - in KINGSTON -for the proper football fans amongst you)! Best friendly going this year.

Think I'll be giving Palace a miss unless there are some tantalising new signings I can't resist.

I get the feeling the Palace friendly is purely functional training exercise.

Going to a wedding 11th August. Had been worried I might miss a big European club playing at the Madejski - like Feyenoord last time we went up but hopefully even bigger.

Needn't have worried. Why are we playing a club from a division below us at home in a friendly? Particularly when that was the last home game we all went to anyway.

Get it right this time. Roberts to stay on for the full 90. D'Urso will be reffing it too.
