**Macy** · 29/01/2004, 3:19 PM

Heard we had Sligo, Kildare County,Bray and UCD lined up for friendlies (don't know the dates yet)...Over the past few years we played Athlone, wonder why we are not this time round???

I haven't heard much about pre season friendlies but i hear Sunderland could make an appearance in the Summer

**max power** · 30/01/2004, 1:54 PM

LOL and people thought I abused Micky Adams that Brighton game....

**Longfordian** · 30/01/2004, 2:02 PM

Sunderland wouldnt cost much to bring over, Mick McCarthy would do it as a favour to the club and Donald Keogh in particular whom he's known for years, ever since we sold Dave Savage to Millwall. If you got a half decent crowd you could make a few quid. Dont know if it'll happen though as the only pre season dates they can fit us in on are around the time of the European matches and Alan wouldnt have anything disrupting preparations for that. Rightly so too..

well i'd go just to roar abuse at him and that fool mcateer, freedom of speech and all that .

Could be a good selling point if the game happens! Set up a stall selling Anti-Mick/McAteer merchandise outside

McCarthy does town a favour and brings Sunderland over and yuz want to go and shout abuse at him?

Yeah...... Although I do that to all the opposition anyway - friendly or not....

**max power** · 02/02/2004, 9:11 AM

yes, a lot of us don't want him anywhere near the flansiro. and a lot of these friendlies don't make any money for the home club anyway.

**RiffRaff** · 02/02/2004, 10:15 AM

I'm not sure why you wouldn't want him at Flancare but thats probably a topic thats been discussed too many times on this board!
Aside from the finances, I think it would be a good test if it could be arranged before the european matches - Sunderland have an experienced team. If we wern't in the UEFA it probably wouldn't be worth it.

**max power** · 02/02/2004, 10:32 AM

i haven't seen too many town fans being very positive about this maybe fixture, i have no time for the man and personally would not like to see him or mcatawt set foot in the flansiro.
