Pre Season Tour

Another tour of Scotland would be good, this time the Edinburgh area. With the Euro exchange rate making Europe a rip-off holidaying in Scotland is appealing to me and i've never been to Scotlands capital - reckon it'd be a good crack.

Already going to Edinburgh this year. I would think if there was to be a proper tour they would have to be preparing it by now anyway, and so I get the feeling it will just be domestic friendlies again.

 

Anyway, no better tour than Sweden.

dont they use that funny money thats not "legal tender" down south?

 

Scottish money is legal tender throughout the UK, although some dopey till operators aren't very educated and may query it.

That is not true the only money classed as legal tender in England and Wales is that which is printed by the bank of England, that doesn't however mean scotish money should be rejected but it is up to the individual retailer to decide if the currency is acceptable.

 

Ancient BBC news article too confirm this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/7161728.stm nothing has changed since as far as I am aware. Really we should just remove the stupid law that allows these scotish banks to print money and have a single currency for the uk.

Don't let us stop you going !

 

Last season's tour of Hampshire was quite entertaining, and given the timescales I'm not expecting much more this season. I've only seen Woking and Eastleigh "confirmed" (not by Saints either) so far.

 

By some miracle the Eastleigh game DOESN'T seem to clash with a pre-existing plan or holiday I have, so I might actually get to go - bizarrely for the first time ever.

I'd rather we stayed in England and played some Premiership, Championship and League Two sides.

 

Much more beneficial than heading to somewhere like Sweden and winning each game 12-0.

 

I agree

 

Plus if you open the gates for a pound or 3 and have the facilities open the club could earn a quid ( ????)

Surely there won't be any tour? As a lower league club I would think that we will be playing almost all of our pre-season games at home against any Prem and CCC teams that haven't already booked all their games by the time we get our act sorted.

 

We might play some away pre-season games but these would be against non-league teams. Playing mostly home pre-season games will also help raise a few quid.

Mid-west USA would be a good place to go. Nice weather and good facilities.

 

Saints could play Chicago Fire and Columbus Crew (West Ham played them last year so it's not that un-feasible).

 

Gets my vote anyway...

I don't really care who we play and where in the pre-season. All I hope for is that the manager (whoever it is) takes a page out of WGS' book and makes them run, run, run. Fitness is going to be key this season!

Whats the currency in Scotland? dont they use that funny money thats not "legal tender" down south?

 

A pre season tour of the Isle of Wight would be good though

 

 

....starting with a training swim across the water from Hurst Castle, no doubt.

only the fittest will make it before the tide water rises.
