Salmonbones Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 3 minutes ago, Milan Missing Marble said: Why Greece? Greek philosophers? Like on that famous Monty Python football sketch between the Greek philosophers and German philosophers an absolute prat I work with had a business in Greece and left about 18 months ago, but he still has contacts. To be fair, he doesn't even like football - as I say he's a prat. He just knows that two businessmen stayed at a hotel he has dealings with, and those businessmen were representatives of SWFC. I'm not even the slightest ITK, they could have been there to do anything - maybe strike up some affiliate club for all I know. I just put 2 and 2 together, came up with nothing and this is the best I can make of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not Portugal (the obvious choice) or Spain, or France, or even the USA who we played once before. But we do did have a couple of people out there recently and they weren't scouts. Being a Welsh Owl I just hope we don't play Wales, that would be conflicting for me, even though it would just be a friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 The idea of a friendly against an international team is ludicrous. Teams don't release players for World Cup qualifiers, never mind a kick about against a Championship side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) How about fairly recent ex Wednesday players, past loanees and players with ties to the club against the current team? Could have the likes of Bothroyd and Taylor-Fletcher to draw in the crowds But really, the likes of Whelan; Brunt, Antonio and Barkley, etc on the ex Wednesday XI would make for an interesting friendly.

mattitheowl Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Absolutely loving people's guesses. I'm particularly liking the "logic" that people are putting in place for a complete and utter guess. Greece Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklord Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Surely if it's a national team it will be Thailand. Or the Brazil 1970 squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Would like us to play Rangers again. Unfortunately I missed it last time but I've heard no end of good things about that game. Maybe not 'marquee' bit definitely one I'd like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian joicey Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I saw someone comment earlier that it was an international break weekend of Sept 2nd and "not to arrange anything for that weekend as this is when it will all happen" He was someone who is on the steering committee and said that he would rather miss the pig match than this particular weekend!!
