Saturday was a fantastic day for everyone from Atherton and Bolton, why do dickheads have to spoil it, after the game a lot of Bolton lads went in the Rope & Anchor and caused a bit of grief. , notably throwing a brick through the pub window, well done brave retard I hope you are proud of yourself.

I agree with the sentiment, but a very poor choice of word. That particular insult should, quite rightly, have been left behind in the 70s.

Wasn't there a couple of Danish/Swedish fixtures around this time? Can't seem to find anything and I was looking to go?
Oh coitus!

Parky cancelled the first one - too soon, he wants them to train rather than play.

They are now at the training camp, just north-east of Malmo, and there's an open training session – Thursday morning, details here.

We're still playing on Sat 9 Jul at FC Helsingor, which appears to be about 20 miles north of Copenhagen on the north-east tip of the Zealand island.

Good luck - if you go to game or session, do let us know what you think.

Right. Let me be the one to say it ...

"Pre-season is about getting fit & testing out systems. Results don't matter".


Aaah. THAT's better.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Last two times the whites visited Denmark we played Brøndby, one of the biggest clubs in the country. Now Helsingør, I don't even know which division their playing in? How the mighty have fallen!

Anyway should be a nice day out. Helsingør (Elsinore in English) is a nice city. Hamlet and all that ...

Cheers for the info.
Oh coitus!

It is. I quite often catch the little boat between Helsingor and Helsinborg across the Oresund Straight. I have a little chuckle at all the Swedes on board who wait until it reaches Danish waters so that they can stock up on booze, presumably much cheaper than they can pick it up from Systembolaget :)

See, I thought Denmark was mad expensive for Booze, but my colleague from work who just started brought one of these in for me..

said it was the equivalent of £2.50

1ltr & 10%

Will be having a pop at it on Friday night :pissed:

Was at a mate's birthday in Denmark, a couple of year's back - they seemed to take great glee as describing any beer purchased below 7% as being "Lady Beer". Don't recall it being hellishly expensive, but we were Oop North. Certainly a good few bob cheaper than last time I was in Copenhagen.

Halfway there on Tuesday in Malmo
Hectic morning out here. One session down, one more to go today. The players are currently resting after lunch ahead of this afternoon's session. Sounds as if Conor Wilkinson and Gary Madine's room is the place to be - they've hooked up an Xbox to their TV. FIFA16 games galore!

You Tube video of pre-season training. Some good movement and crossing at 6 min 30 sec and comedy moment by Jamie Proctor (I think) at 7 min 30 sec.

Do not trust atoms. They make up everything.

Currently 1-1 v FC Helsingor (ko 2pm). The Goal Machine twatted one in from 25 yards before they equalised from the spot.
