Pre-season 2026

It will be interesting what the attendance turns out to be. Surely they must be expecting a sell out if they are being so stingy?

Unless they're keep it low for security reasons I guess.

I doubt there'd be 1000s wanting to go with 2 days notice.

Well, if the 250 sold out that quickly then, maybe.

Also, don't give them two days notice, announce it a month ago so people have time to plan.

Twat behaviour by them.

250 tickets in a 50,000 stadium? Absolute twats.

It's their annual presentation of the new players and squad match. Free or super cheap to their 174,000 socios, lots of Porto supporting immigrants returning for their summer holidays, the game was declared sold out a few days ago.

Villa fans I've spoken to had already booked flights but both Porto and Villa had failed until today to get their act together regarding away fans. Porto will be playing their best XI, we'll probably play the kids again.

[cdbearsfan]

Still twats. No excuse whatsoever for only giving 250 tickets.
