San Fran Van Rams Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Pleased with this pre-season game. They've got some big names in their squad and were spending bucket loads cash over the previous seasons. If this is in a training camp set up, does this mean that other high profile teams may also be there? We've got one more game out there that is yet to be announced...

Boss Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Well when was the last time we had a friendly against one of the top European teams? I just meant these pre-season tours away in general, not necessarily against a big team. Like do many of our fans travel to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a small Austrian minnow team I reckon. Just to embarrass someone on their home turf and get a boost from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much precedent in recent times except against the Bohemians in Dublin last year. Around 700 Rams went. Considerably easier and cheaper to get to mind you. Burgenland lacks any airports, nearest airports being Vienna (50km), Bratislava (70km) and Graz at a push. Pricey flights from Heathrow to Vienna whilst Ryanair fly to Bratislava from Luton, Stansted & Birmingham but they're not particularly reasonable either.
