FRIENDLIES WITH PROFESSIONAL CLUBS


Recommended Posts

Why does the South West lack friendlies with Professional clubs?  Can well remember several top clubs visiting the area and playing our local teams.

This summer we only have Cardiff City visiting the area and that is due to Neil Warnock living in the area! have also heard that he expects a nice little brown envelope with a health sum of money in it.

also as no cornish clubs have ambition on playing higher apart from Truro and now Mousehole our level off opposition is quite low

A little unfair to suggest it's all down to lak of ambition, it's also due to initial lack of finance to take a gamble and stage the game in the first place.

Doesn't matter what topic is put on this forum, it always turns 2 people being paid. Whether it's teams, players and managers. Give it a rest

I did not mean the local team I meant the professional team. They want their transport, accomodation paid plus a match fee before coming down here.

Years ago we had lots of league teams because in those days they used to travel down here for team holidays and training so played local sides as part of their training. With easy travelling between countries clubs now play friendlies with sides from Europe or travel the world for tournaments as they can make big money.

So unless someone has a bit of cash to throw around we won't see league teams down here again apart from Plymouth, Etexter and perhaps Yeovil.

It is only because Neil Warnock likes to bring his sides down here for training anyway that we have see Cardiff.
