Wembley Cup

[tototoner]

So who all going and who are you most looking forward to seeing?

Obviously Barcelona have the better profile but Celtic will have the more fans and I reckon the atmosphere will be greater for that game.

PS ) what team will Robbie Keane be playing for on the Sunday?

 

[Wellspurs]

I wonder if we will get a designated pub like the cup final, especially with Jocks being involved?

 

[spurslenny]

my missus offered to get me a ticket as a fathers day present, but, i turned the offer down.:duh:


Don't feel gutted for me though, 'cos she got me a Wii instead :grin:

 

[tototoner]

anyone know what the initial allocation to Tottenham fans was?

from TicketMaster site below, pretty sure more tickets will be fortcoming

The initial allocation for Tottenham Hotspur fans has been sold. Please keep checking for further allocations. Please note that Spurs fans should not purchase tickets in other teams areas, as you may not be admited to, or may be ejected from the Stadium.

There will be no access to or from Wembley Stadium via the Jubilee Line on Sunday 26th July due to engineering works. Other closures will also be taking place across the rail network. Please visit http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews to check for how these may affect your journey. The Metropolitan, Bakerloo, London Overground and

Chiltern Railways services will be operating as normal however with higher than usual demand expected, visitors are advised to consider alternate arrangements where possible.

Gotta love TFL, they really know how to screw with a piss up in a brewery.

I'll be going to the Barca game, although I wont read too much into the result. They will just be starting their pre-season while we will have been a couple of weeks into it, and just like Roma last season when we won 5-0 I think the result will not reflect truly where the two teams are (although Barca will not be anywhere near as bad as Roma were)

I hope to see some of the big barca guns, but I will also be interested to see our boys and hopefully a couple of the younger players. Might catch more of them at the Sutton Utd friendly one would think

 

[Midostouch]

Not going because I'm going to Dublin to see U2. Also last year I stupidly got so euphoric after going to our pre-season games and thinking we could beat anyone. This year I am going to really try and stay calm.

Pre-season a real test - Leds


Ledley King likes the way our pre-season is shaping up.
We have nine first team friendlies scheduled including competing in the Wembley Cup and the Barclays Asia Trophy in China.
We kick-off at Exeter City on July 15 and travel to Bournemouth (July 17) and Peterborough United (July 21) before the high-profile fixture against Barcelona in the Wembley Cup on July 24.
Our second game in the Wembley Cup is against Celtic on July 26 before we jet off to the Far East.
We kick-off in the Barclays Asia Trophy against West Ham on July 29 before facing either Hull City or Beijing Gouon two days later on July 31, both matches at the Worker's Stadium, Beijing.
We then travel to Hong Kong to take on South China FC at the Hong Kong National Stadium.
Our final friendly is against Olympiakos at the Lane on Sunday, August 9.
"It will be a test and that's what you want," stated Ledley.
"There is no point winning every game seven or eight-nil and then when you start the season, you have that sense of security, thinking things are perhaps better than what they are.
"What you need is a test against top-class players and we'll get that this summer. It's not just about winning in pre-season, it's about getting your performance right, tactics, fitness and making sure you're ready for the start of the season. That's all that really matters."

 

[roosh]

might be going over for it myself, but likewise will prob have to get tickets for the Celtic section - also my 2nd team (to a lesser extent than before tho)

 

[gavspur]

i'm going to the Barca game, hopefully they'll have the big name players out, would love to see Messi, Iniesta, Xavi etc etc...

Barca are my 2nd fave team too, so hopefully we'll get a good game to watch.

Im a member of Spurs and Barca believe it or not and am looking forward to July 24 immensely. Word of warning for you guys - Barcelona are not even bothering to bring Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Dani Alves and Bojan as they dont report back for pre season until the week after wembley due to their involvement in the Confederations Cup. Also the whole squad dont even report back until the day before they travel to London!! Due to this I fancy Spurs to win by the odd goal as they will already have played 3 pre season games and been back in training for a few weeks.

 

[ScoreLikeAnEgyptian]

Bummer, I was looking to forward to seeing Iniesta, Xavi and/or Dani Alves.

Oh well, as long they bring along Messi. Would really like to see him play live.

Hoping we might have a new signing or two (or three!) at that point, which is always fun to see. Otherwise, yeah, the Spurs - Barca game is the one I'm looking forward to. Night/Evening matches tend to be more fun too.

 

[hartson11]

Ye I agree. Messi should be there.

Not going to any mainly cause i cant be arsed but was in Rotterdam last year for the Spurs v jocks game and lets just say the atmosphere was murderous. Mainly due, it has to be said, down to the jocks singing anti English songs. I dont expect anything less this time.
On a lighter note, the underground to Wembley isn`t running that sunday i`ve been told.
Goodluck.

Anybody know what out allocation was for the Barcelona game?
