Pre-season friendly thread

[Kenny]

So why are football clubs/ticketmaster etc allowed to continue with them?

Not card fees.

Admin fee - Covers a whole host of things but non of them will be the actual payment processing. A lot of football clubs use a 3rd party for tickets. Standard is just use of their software, support etc etc and they charge a % or flat fee per transaction done on their platform and it can go right through to a company doing everything for them (the staff, customer service etc) like some places do with Ticketmaster.

So we have to pay that fee. No idea if something restricts them from hiding that fee and they have to be transparent on that front but no one would care if the admin fee was hidden.

The fee the club pay for processing payments is hidden in the ticket price. If Wolves use, say Barclaycard, to process payments it will cost them around 1%-3% of the fee (maybe less considering how much they would process in a normal year). Wolves have also included a PayPal option and they will charge a lot more (set fee, normally 20p plus arund 10-13% of the total amount processed. Wolves have countered that by saying, pay by PayPal you don't get your 10% in Wolves Cash (same with Amazon Pay as well I think)

Anyway more to the subject of the thread, should we expect Neves to make an appearance tomorrow? Will GlasgowWolf be giving ball bu ball commentary on this thread?

Seriously, I'm hoping that tomorrow's teams will give us a little more insight as to what we can expect in the coming season.

The official site seems to suggest that Sa and Mosquera will feature.

Neves, Moutinho and Semedo may play some part but more likely to be vs Las Palmas.

Sky Sports' Johnny Phillips: Wolves boss Bruno Lage has to be willing to adapt

The pre-season work is still in its infancy for Wolves, but there is a gravitas attached to a European away fixture against Real Betis tonight that was missing from a trip to Crewe last Saturday.

3ATB?

[MARKakaJIM]

From the order they're listed out I'd assume 433.

 

[Alan]

Ruddy
Hoever - Saiss - Boly - Marcal
Perry - Moutinho - Gibbs-White
Trincao - Jiminez - Ait-Nouri
​

Would be my guess.

Think this will roughly be it. Probably MGW as a ten behind Raul though

 

[AndyWolves]

Could easily be

JR
Hoever Saiss boly Marcal
Perry Moutinho
Trincao MGW ran
Raul

Disappointed that Sa hasn't instantly gone in.

 

[Templeton Peck]

So does anyone know much about Perry? No idea what sort of player he is. Is he first team ready?

Goal scoring midfielder from the u23s, box to box / 8 is the best way I can think of describing him.

One of the better u23 players

Edit. Not first team ready yet but surely will get a loan to championship or top of league one club.

Same, kind wondering exactly what Ruddy's role will be this season

You honestly wonder that ???

 

[Kenny]

I would expect Sa to play a half today, doesn't matter which one.

Like Neves and Semedo only started pre season this week. Fully expect Mout to be off at HT for the same reason.

 

[prawnking]

Disappointed that Sa hasn't instantly gone in.

Might get second half?

 

[Lupo]

Suggests that Lage maybe isn't welded to one formation and style of play and is looking for flexibility

[YoungWolf]

What could it possibly be other than back up to Sa?

 

[Alan]

Football fans in reading too much into things shocker.
