Any steer as to how many we are expecting on Saturday?
Difficult to gauge with a lot of areas of the ground closed, but still seems lots still available in the Canton

Put simply I’m not spending over £20 to see a friendly even a tenner would be a push

I’m with you! So called ‘friendlies’ are effectively advance training sessions (for both sides) with variations of team, format, focus, and intensity
The result, despite the beliefs of some, won’t have a major impact on the season ahead
@£20 is a lot and is actually more than a competitive league game for your average season ticket holder

Enjoy! Lots will!
I won’t be one of them but I am looking forward to the (real) Wrexham game!

I'm travelling back from Tunisia tomorrow afternoon so won't be there but you would think somebody at the club would have brain cells in the ticket department whoever that is in charge and say £5 a ticket irrelevant of who and age then try fill the stadium or whatever.
Surely a fuller stadium is better than a under half full one. People spend money there also then. As fans we know nothing though. Same goes for last season not even half full some games yet let's charge people 26 quid to watch some shoe string budget team come here. Totally baffles me why they wouldnt want some kind of atmosphere in the ground and more people spending money in to the club.
Although to be fair it's shit when it's full unless it's a big cup game or derby game so that's probably why they don't bother

£34 for me amd my 10 year old lad today when I bought them, bit steep for a friendly tbh

Yes chris in ricoh suite which is step up from my usual haunt on level 4... hopefully trains play ball and don't disrupt our journey? Game part of out ST allocation

Hope those that go enjoy it and that we put on a good display.
Just my personal view but I'm not a huge fan of attending friendlies, especially home friendlies. It's a high profile opponent but I thought £20 was a bit steep. As I'd have to travel too, my mind was made up to not go.
Like I say, hope those that are attending enjoy the afternoon though

A Crowd over 10,000 is expected including 500 Roma fans from the Uk
It’s pay on the day

I live a huge distance away, at least 10 minutes but I won’t be going especially with those prices!
A tough game though, exactly what we need but I’ll be paying zero attention with regards to the result.

I think Roma are left wing hooligans. Lazio are right wing, once supported by Mussilini
