Any more news on the second (possibly German side) game?

[Lee]

The second German side is in fact Spanish.

Real Mallorca on 26th July in Kirchdorf in Tyrol, Austria. (Not the Kirchdorf that is near Linz)

Full details listed here, two more games to be announced

I heard a rumour that the european side visiting ewood will be Racing Santander.

[Lee]

Just to point out that I've edited the name of the place where the Real Mallorca game to avoid confusion and fans going to the wrong town!

Oh and Racing Santander aren't playing at Ewood, its a team that are placed a lot higher up the table.

Thanks for that Lee, after looking at the Spanish League Table it could be one of 15 teams.

However, after reading between the lines and studying that yellow winking smilie thing you posted it's obvious that it'll be a "Best XI" from Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Or Getafe.

Tell you what you can't rely on anyone down there to tell the bloody truth, my information came from deep within the walls of power as well

[Lee]

I like that phrase, but whoever it was wasn't deep enough.

[Lee]

Soccerbase is out of date on that.

Domi was there last season but only played a couple of games, those other ones aren't on their 'temporada 2004/05'

middle of nowhere... near the famous ski resort of kitzbuhel.

Fly to innsbruck. munich or salzberg to get there. Make sure you look for "Kirchdorf in Tirol" as there are a few kirchdorfs in germany and austria.

[Jordan]

Why have the club chosen to play a friendly against Swansea away. What a nightmare to get to in the first place and just for friendly! Were next Ross County

321488[/snapback]

Cos they have a new ground and so want to test it out against big opposition. I heard that fulham are playing there too. I expect us to play a coupla of local friendly's also as we usually do.

Germany all booked.
