Pre Season Friendlies 2026/27

[saintoaks]

I think we’ll have a few going Saturday, looking forward to it. Anyone else going ?

SAINTS head coach Tonda Eckert has hailed Damion Downs as "a very dynamic player" after the striker's winner in Friday's Saints' 1-0 friendly win over Eintracht Braunschweig.
 

fk me, does TONDA know that our forum experts have already decided DD is not a footballer, how can he say those outrageously positive things about a donkey ? Surely there  is no football player in there…….TONDA has no clue, right?

Tonda is only going to be the manager for another three days so it won't matter what he thinks....

One thing Tonda has never done is target his own players and undermine / bully them in public etc... if he was like that he'd be getting praise similar to lampard who does it to his players at every club when things aren't going well.

Yep I'm heading out for it. Think there's at least 50 going with Nicks Saints Away Travel. Should be a good laugh.

I am going, and have purchased a ticket, for which I have confirmation. However, no actual ticket has arrived yet, physical or electronic so getting slightly concerned. My normal very helpful chap in the ticket office hasn't got back to me.

I did wonder if you just showed proof of purchase at Munster?

There is a very good chance I have missed something!

I received mine in an email yesterday, as did a few others going. Although it's slightly concerning that it's showing as row 13 & 15 on our seated tickets 😅
