Pre Season Tour - Portugal 2012

[Simon's Church]

I bet the players will be disappointed to find out there are no Nandos there.

[Big Foot]

I'll be amazed if there's 100+ Reading fans there

33 of us in Slovenia in 2010

Would imagine there could be quite a few go out to Portugal, more of a holiday locaction than Slovenia/Sweden.

[LeFondreforEngland]

On holiday in portugal then, back of the net.

The top team from Faro are currently in the equivalent of League 2. But they do play at the Faro/Loule stadium used in Euro 2004.

I went to a game in that stadium in February; The Atlantic Cup Final no less!

Fantastic stadium.

[TBM]

May go.

July

...... and then perhaps a good team from abroad on 11th August (e.g. Barcelona )

I'm putting my pennies on Zenit.?

Gibralta would be brilliant. They take English money there and its duty free.

Cant believe Portsmouth have arranged a friendly out there in the summer, despite having no money!!!! Would have thought they should have kept to friendlies against Havant, etc to save some money

Probably be based in Quita do lago or Vale do Lobo. Barringtons at VdL has hosted many a team, including the Bolton side who beat us at Wembley. England team have also stayed there. Brian can tap ronaldo up as he has a villa there too.

I certainly hope they haven't booked to stay at Barrington's. It closed down earlier this year (for the 2nd time in 2 years) and went into receivership.
