Pre Season Tour - Portugal 2012

[Squelchy2507]

Rumours that Sheffield Wednesday will be in Portugal at the same time with games planned for 21/7 and 24/7 (same dates as us). Possible game between the Royals and the Owls ? Would be interesting, especially if Antonio makes the switch.

Seems highly probable then, Dave Jones says that Sheff Weds will be playing 2 games in the Algarve against premier league teams, one English and one Portuguese

Rumours that Sheffield Wednesday will be in Portugal at the same time...

That tried and trusted preseason confidence boost from playing teams we are always going to thrash!

Silves is a lovely place, one of my favourite towns on the Algarve. Warning - it's inland.

Could well be in for this, do we know where they'll be based?

Probably one of the golfing/sports complexes like Vale De Lobo

Yeah I imagine it'll be an Algarve job. The only top flight team in the region is SC Olhanense, so they might be the tour's "big" game.

Spot on

I stayed in Vilamoura in 2004 - lovely place. It also has the best mini golf course in Europe there - which is skillz as you can buy a beer and play in the sun.
