Bit late notice!
I'll be there tomorrow with my 5 Ur old, it's his first live match, a bit disappointed now.
If they had stated this in the 1st place I would have gone on Saturday instead!

So it's 20€ to watch the U21s and 12€ to watch the 1st team

Not happy. Paid 43€ to watch our young uns. Can't get the money back to redirect to the Hoffenheim game. Feel a little used.

That's a little cheeky. Especially as the tickets for that game had to be bought in advance and are non refundable.
I'd be more upset, but my daughter popped out 10 days early so I couldn't go anyway. Must have been because she wanted to go too. New town supporter!

One can only assume there aren't enough fit senior players to cover both games.

Is it still on Town TV?

Yes, still on TownTV.

Not enough fit first team players for two teams by the sounds of it and lacking the new signings expected . Injury crisis to start the season with? Lets hope not.

So it was supposed to be two games with extra time and penalties, which ended being "only" 90 minutes and penalties and now U21s instead of the first team. Have to say this is the first time I feel cheated by the club, after paying to watch all these games. It was markered and priced as one thing and turned out to be pretty different from what we paid for.
Unrelated to that, it seems this preseason is turning into a weird afair with all these game changes.

*marketed

Is it me or did we used to have more pre-season fixtures? 4 first team games seems a bit light, albeit the opposition is a lot stronger, I remember looking forward to seeing one decent European club (Fiorentina, Celta Vigo, Lazio, etc) and were playing 3 times this season, maybe that’s the thinking of having higher quality but fewer run outs.

Would be interested to know what driving the change with this.
can't think it's the climate, it's only mid 20s forecast, maybe the squad is a little thinner with a few niggles and signings still incomplete and KM wants to work with his expected 1st XI sunday and again against Nice rather than splitting them up across two game?

Typical reaction form town fans. Moan moan moan. All this why didnt they tell us before? Simple, they didnt know themselves. Been done bcse we have a few knocks, so wouldn't be eight to ask players to play 2 games in 2 days. Plus kieron will want to be working with the 1st team players all together, aa a team. Not split between the 2 games. Get the disappointment of those who've paid for the games but let's be sensible about this? Do we really want to risk more injuries by making them play 2 games in 2 days, in hot weather?

Bazza8564. Have u ever played 2 games in 2zdays in hot weather. And forecast is saying 28 today, 27 tomorrow. So thats hot. Think ur other point is correct , thst with a limited number of 1st team players available, he wants to use them all in the 1zgame. Rather than have a mixed team in each match.

Jugsy. We' aren't just having 4 1st team games. Will be 5 once the Nice game is played. And thats about normal for preseason. Guess ur forgetting we had 2 behind closed door friendlies prior to the three tougher games.

Itfcserbia. How have the club cheated anyone? This change has been made out of necessity, due to the limited number of 1st team players fit right now. And no doubt, kieron wants them all together in one game, with the season 2 weeks away. Rather than splitting them between both games with u21s making up numbers in each game. We'd all moan if they played 1st team in both games and ended up struggling to put a team out come the Liverpool match.

blues1 I'm sure we all can grasp why this is needed from a playing perspective, what baffles me is why you can't grasp that people feel a little disappointed to have spent their money to watch a first team game only to have it downgraded to U21s at this late stage.

What the club need to do is make some kind of goodwill gesture to those fans who have travelled to watch the game, and probably those who bought match passes on TownTV too. I've come to expect no less from the club of late, so I hope they don't drop the ball this time.

blues1 Some things are out of the club's control, but they can offer refunds for Town TV and they can offer something to the fans that are attending in person as a good will gesture.

Well, with pre-season trips abroad, it’s the whole experience that makes the trip. If this is the biggest problem we face this season, I’ll be delighted. The most important thing is for the team to be in the best shape it can be for the first league game.

Very frustrating for those who have travelled & shelled out for it. Blues1 is no doubt correct in saying it was done out of absolute necessity, with the health & fitness of those available in mind, just 2 weeks before kick off.
It does raise legitimate concerns as to where we are at this point though, with regard to the expectation of the club, & in particular the manager, when the fixtures were scheduled. Cue calls of "moaner" from the usual suspect(s).
There is no question but that the market we are now in is at a completely different level to what we have known, and that fees & wages are eye-watering (fee for Hirst last Summer v Delap this), but we have to get a number of additional quality players in now in order to be best prepared for Liverpool & beyond.
Getting off to a good start, through momemtum & a great pre-season was crucial to our success last season; it could be even moreso this time around.
I don't think the club could have done more when trying to bring in Philogene - once Villa decided to they wanted him back & were selling Diaby, it was out of our hands - but Szmodics should have been signed in time for Germany. We need at least one CM in by this time next week; another may come on loan late in the window, & 2 more forwards. Also let's hope the rumour of an injury to Hirst is nonsense.

I just contacted the ticket seller and explained that the fixture is now u21 and therefore not as advertised. They gave me my money back no problem. I just had to send them the link to the news story on the itfc website as they hadn't been told about the change.
And to those who already made the journey... The have tomorrow is still the 1st team. Enjoy Munich and the surrounding area. Find a Biergarten and relax. Tomorrow will be a great game in a great location.

Europablue. And how do you know tge club won't offer the fans something. It was a last minute decision, made partly im sure bcse of the temperatures forecast. Sure it wasnt a,decision they ever planned to make.

Lots of complaints regarding the change of squad for todays game.
As for the speculation in an attempt to reach out for an answer as to exactly why this has been decided upon, I personally believe it’s because of injuries to too many key players. However, that will remain as pure speculation until the club announce why this has happened. Those who have paid to go and watch the first team players, deserve at least that.

Souper jim of course I understand people are disappointed. But as u say, people know why tge decision has v
Been made. So no need to moan. And as some1,else has said, those who had tickets for the game, can get a refund. Just as he has

Btw... This is the link to request a refund.
