What a rip off

Brentford charging 25 quid for an upcoming pre season and seemingly given Celtic three sides of the ground...

Yet another case of exploitation

Shitload of Irish in London, plenty of Scottish Celtic fans, new stadium to pay for - you can see why they've done it

I'd expect Celtic to take quite a large number to the game which financially justifies the decision.

What kind of team are Celtic expecting to send down? If it's largely a first team squad then it's without doubt the correct decision.

Lets be honest, if we were in the same situation I wouldn't be complaining.

That's not too bad but Bournemouth charging £60 is a joke and surely not many will be daft enough to pay that (even though it is Real Madrid)

I can't imagine many Madrid fans were planning on making the journey over anyway.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

According to reports - Real Madrid are sending their strongest possible side over. The only players that will be left out are those that were involved in the recent Confederations Cup in Brazil.

To be honest if Darlo had a friendly in against Madrid and it looked like Ronaldo, Benzema, Ozil etc. we're going to play, I would probably pay that much money to watch it!

It would be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Plus I would know the money is going into the club as well, so I don't buy a shirt that season or something - I would probably see it as worth the sacrifice!

I would not mind paying a small premium to see the likes of Ronaldo, Benzema and co, but 60 notes is a complete rip off

Well despite charging 60 notes, turns out Bournemouth actually still got a full house.

I wonder if they made a decent profit or if it mostly went on paying Real's appearance fee.

The report seemed to suggest the match was arranged via friend of a friend sort of thing.

I hope Bournemouth made a lot from it - could give them a bit of a boost in the Championship. Could be quite an achievement by Eddie Howe should he manage to take that club even further - weren't they in League Two on -17 when he started out?

Yes, he's done a brilliant job. Although they are owned by a Russian billionaire so probably aren't exactly in desperate need of the money nowadays.

Turned out to be a fooking good team!

Real Madrid (First half): Lopez, Carvajal, Nacho, Pepe, Coentrao, Modric, Khedira, Ronaldo, Isco, Ozil, Benzema.

Real Madrid (Second half): Fernandez, Carvajal (Casado 68), Mateos, Nacho (Quini 68), Cheryshev, Casemiro, Illarramendi, di Maria, Kaka, Morata, Higuain.


£60 seems to be a little bit more justified with that line up.

I should have said co-owned. Bit of info below.

I tell you what, I'd happily pay £60 to see our club take on the likes of Ronaldo, Kaka and Ozil.
