Celtic makes complete sense to get an early financial boost, we might as well take full advantage of the manager. Five thousand odd Celtic fans is a lot of money! Apart from the money, I can't think of anything worse than seeing the OF. I wouldn't go, guess that's a choice though. A friendly against a decent English Championship or League 1 Club would also bring in the punters without having anything to do with the arse cheeks. I'd love us to think outside the box a bit with this rather than a game against bloody Celtic again. It's just a boring choice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely to f**k we can get a big non-domestic side to come over for a glamour friendly rather than the shit kickers from up the road or either of the OF?

AyrTroopMajor Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Playing Kilmarnock in a friendly is nonsensical and cheapens the fixture completely. Celtic would bring in some money but we could also push the boat out a bit and get an English team with a big following up - Newcastle or Sunderland would be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm for any money spinner if it goes to on field budget. Think 5k celtic fans might be a stretch but ye never know lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Can't say I'd be thrilled at the prospect of playing Killie and/or Celtic in a friendly. The latter would probably be another B team/fringe player like the Moff testimonial. Would be good to see a foreign team in a friendly...and I don't mean one from Ireland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Can't say id be thrilled with thousands of either of the old firm rocking up at somerset. But as others have pointed out it would probably be a good money spinner. Doubt i'd go along though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love us to think outside the box a bit with this rather than a game against bloody Celtic again. It's just a boring choice. I just don’t see how it’s the case that an English championship side would bring even a tenth of the fans Celtic would, never mind a league one side. It’s basically bringing in a good player potentially. Again? We haven’t played Celtic in decades… I wouldn’t be bothered about going either tbh.

Thumper Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Any big name team would send their U-16s anyway. And it's not like Napoli are going to bring much of an away support, saving maybe a bus from Largs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-ish Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The arse cheeks usually get some decent teams over for friendlies. Celtic had Wolves and Athletic Bilbao last season for instance. If we're using the Broony connections could we not get them to piggyback another game onto their visit? Would 100% much rather see that and would expect a decent crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The only reason I'd be happy to play Killie in a friendly is if the Ayrshire cup was up for grabs but we all know that can't happen as the stole it and claimed ownership of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) The last glamour friendly I can remember is the Man United one from about 10 years back that McGinty played for Man United in. Edited May 8 by Superhursty7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
