CD Tenerife B

Seems like we do now have a game tomorrow. 5pm kick off against CD Tenerife’s B team: https://www.clubdeportivotener.....a-de-la-pretemporada

The first blue and white subsidiary rolls off the tongue.

Boycotting this one, B Teams playing in pre-season tour matches is just the thin end of the wedge. Whatever next?

Is there an away bus running ??

😅😄🤪

£10 to the first person to e-mail “ just back” !

It leaves from McDonalds yesterday.

Some good comments on this thread!

Stone me when I first saw this thread I assumed it was a run out against a team of locals.
However it seems Deporto Tenenerife play in the Spanish second division - so even their B team will be a tough work out  I guess.

If there isn’t a picture of a slightly red, overweight middle aged bloke stood watching with a mardy looking wife after the match I’ll be disappointed…

That or a video of a couple of over excited young lads signing the ‘we haven’t got Fenty anymore song’…

Surely there are some town fans in Tenerife this time of the year?

We’re like rats, I’m expecting about 300…

If Nick Dale was still the ‘safety officer’ he’d have told them 4000 were turning up and to make sure they police it…like he did when we had a replay at Shrewsbury…

Never mind the spelling....wait for the price

I'm gutted this was not made public some time ago. I'd have loved to have gone there. Not at all happy, this is a dream pre season friendly.

Probably why

Bloody tickets 40 euros plus 3 euro booking fee and 2 euros to print it off in an Internet cafe! For that reason I'm not going

He would have had all Brits being strip searched at the airport for hiding pyros in their orifices.

still stuck in the queue at Dover #BrexitBritain - still hoping to make the second half. Wife is not seeing the funny side

A reasonable probability there is a Town fan there on his honeymoon - he’ll be swearing blue in the face that he didn’t know Town were playing a fixture there when the honeymoon was booked - and his new wife won’t believe him…the first little crack in her trust of him, and he feels the first niggle of injustice…

Don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much at a joke which was aimed at my own view of something

Since when did playing Tenerife B get you 3 points on a Saturday?

When we lived in the north east in the early 80's, I looked at the fixture list and spotted we were playing Carlisle. On the Monday I said lets have a day out at the weekend, get away from all the work we've being doing on the house. Nice idea she said, where to? Not sure, let me ask the boys at work for recommendations. On Wednesday I said "apparently Carlisle is quite nice and only 60 miles along the A69"
On the Friday I said "you'll never guess, and this is a stunning coincidence but...". We are still together

Naughty, naughty.

Rayo Vallecano were promoted from CD Tenerife's Segunda Division last season. I saw them play SWFC this week. They were excellent. The Hillsborough pitch was lush and both teams started slowly with plenty of tippy tappy and touches for the keeper. As the tempo quickened it was noticeable that it was Wednesday who lost a little cohesion, accuracy and control. Vallecano's players always seemed to have instant control, more options in possession and the right weight of pass.

Not a great gulf in class but another demonstration that our game still relies on a measure of huff and puff. Alex Hunt only played about twelve minutes at the end but showed all his awareness, energy and incisive passing. Sadly for him, Wednesday were showing off two more new midfielders so expect him to be available soon.

Rayo Vallecano's scorer, Randy Nteka, was impressive. Signed last season on a five year contract! If they signed Jack Diamond would it be forever?

Debbie said we weren’t playing any matches in her recent interview
Surely they can’t have sorted it at such short notice?

I’d imagine it’s pretty easy to sort a match. You’d imagine all the players probably live in or around Santa Cruz and then their season starts later than ours so probably grateful of the game.

I guess if you’re a player there’s also a slight glimmer that if you impress that you might find your way in to the English game?

I would assume this is a training game/behind closed doors so really as stated above this could be arranged within a few days. Late decision perhaps made after Debbie Cook's interview

It’s a Tenerife at Orient as well isn’t it?

  I was going to mention Playa de las Americas but was fearful of one of the ‘ITK’s’ on the rumours thread claiming a scoop on a Chilean signing.

Yes indeed. My position at the top of the Grandad Joke League is assured.  

Does anybody know if it’s been streamed

Its 29 Deg C in Tenerife now, which is much cooler than BP was playing Lincoln

Town winning 2-0

3-0 HT to town

Kiernan straight on the scoresheet, albeit a friendly, but he did say in his interview that he wanted to score goals and make things happen.

Goal a game McAtee.... well.. nearly !!

Anyone from the Fishy there to give a bit more of a game review !!

What sort of level are this team as opposition ?

Blackpool away for my honeymoon but I couldn't make the unreasonable cow understand that the fixtures weren't done 20 months in advance.
Emptied a glass of Yates white wine over my head to the delight of dozens of Town fans in the pub.

You went to Blackpool on your honeymoon? And you wondered why she tipped a drink on your bonce?

Thanks, hope to recognise them all by Christmas  

Regardless of the standard of opposition, it’ll be a big boost to the defence and keeper going into the season having only conceded once all pre-season, which I believe was from a clearance which ricocheted into the net off a Hull player.

Dave Moore told the squad on the coach to the airport that he’d been to Elevenerife and absolutely no-one questioned him on it.

He's probably gone for a jog up Mount Teide to warm down after the game.

Given the the club has not officially acknowledged that this game even happened my guess is that they wanted to keep it quiet so all the riff raff did not rock up.

made it to the ground 10 minutes after the final whistle.
long trip back to dover when i finally get to the mainland. Was well worth it to say 'i was there'

I wonder if town flew out there on a private flight or they went on easyjet or alike?

Imagine it would be a charter flight with 30 + players & staff.

Have seen several football squads (including Hurst's Shrewsbury) getting on scheduled flights at East Midlands.

They didn't and still haven't acknowledged that the Hull City U23 game played the other week happened either, I think when its being played behind closed doors it's often viewed as a last minute training game rather than an actual friendly. I would imagine this game was put together very late in the day.

I think it was planned but kept on the low so loads of fans didn't head over there.
