Would much rather see Saints return to their old pre-season preparations when the club would play all fixtures away. Then to host a 'significant' European giant on the Saturday a week before the season kicks off.
The club use to attract a solid crowd when we hosted the likes of Bayern, Panathinikos, Anderlecht etc. Surely it’s much more financially viable having one large game at the end of pre-season rather than the poor attendances at the Wolves, ML Trophy and Udinese fixtures?
I just don’t understand the logistics of our current pre-season programmes? (with the exception of the Olympics)
