Would be a sell out instantly
and would generate a lot of money for the club
So yeah would be great to see a big club against us

Possibly ‘behind closed doors’ at the training centre, if they’re at The Vale? :?

Maybe not but you'd imagine there'll be a half decent crowd for it

This would be the biggest friendly weve had in a long long time

I remember playing Ajax at Ninian Park what was that 2009?

Yeah Real Betis came one year and I think Nice and Auxerre way back but Roma would be top

I don’t usually do friendly’s but I was at that game.

Was a good one and I remember Kevin De Bruyne scoring from way out. Cracking goal.

De Bruyne scored a worldy in that game in a very entertaining 3-3 draw. We also had friendlies in the Malky era v Valencia, Real Sociedad and Celtic. I may be imagining this but I also thought we played an Italian team at CCS, but can't remember who that was?

For the record,it was Deportivo La Coruna that we played not Real Sociedad and the Italian team wasn't a dream, it was Chievo of Verona who seem to have disappeared into the obscurity of Serie D in recent years.
