MalagaOwl Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 What random re season game can you remember. For me I have nice memories sitting on the grass behind the goal in Groningen in (july? 2007?) . I think it was Brunteh's last pre season Anyone else there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Kuqi scoring a hat trick at Macclesfield Losing 4-0 at Mansfield on a Monday night Beating the Nigeria national team 3-1 at Hillsborough Losing 6-3 at home to Everton - my mate left the game with a few minutes to go when we were losing 3-1 and missed a late goalfest Winning 4-0 at Stocksbridge Park Steels - nothing special as a game but it was my boy's first ever Wednesday match. tbh now I'm older and wiser I realise that pre season friendlies are usually as dull as ditchwater so I only bother going to them now if it's a big name at home or an away ground that I haven't been to before. Ticked off quite a few new grounds that way like York, Grimsby, Mansfield, Worksop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there it was a beautiful sunny day with a downpour somewhere in it. Groningen was a lovely little place and the weekend in 'Dam was great. I don't do home friendlies at all and the aways ones are much more about the trip than the actual games which are usually awful. Had a fantastic time in the South West in about '97 when we played Exeter, Torquay and Plymouth. Edited May 18, 2018 by toppOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRADDO Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Owls v Celtic at parkhead 1993. Aberdeen v Blackburn at pitodrie the year they won premier league. Elgin v Aberdeen around 1995 at Elgin. Before you ask, I was based at RAF lossiemouth at the time and was desparate the watch football. I still used to work my leave so I saw 10 owls matches per season. 900 miles round trip though. Good times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggy Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 VV Dovo & Dos Kampen away. 2002 I think is the most obscure for me. Gerald Sibon turned up to the first game having left the previous season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkskaphil Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 4-1 win at MK Dons. I think Esajas scored a free-kick. I can't remember if it was a pre-season game or not, but I went to Bob Bolder's testimonial at the Valley too. Trevor Francis came on as sub and scored a ridiculous 40-yarder. Finished 3-3.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 There was a charity game v a Lake district Pub Team where the hosts insisted we gave it our best. We did, Kendal Stag FC (or Whatever) 0-27 SWFC. Never went though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the one where we were attacked before and after the game. Same at Go Ahead Eagles on the same tour. Luckily about 50 of us there on a 40th otherwise it could have been really nasty. Best by far was USA 2005 closely followed by Copa Ibiza ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Best pre-season game I ever saw was the warmup to our game v Wolves at Tannadice Street Dundee fans V Dundee United fans; A rate game they kicked lumps out of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in the town it was a nightmare having Mansfield fans taunting me for the ‘thrashing’ the dished out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
