Of the three friendlies, this will by far be the most difficult, certainly the most physical. Fev always want to beat us and if they play hard it could be a rough one, I can certainly see us losing this game but so long as we don't pick up casualties I'll live with it. Also in all the games, I've seen us play at Post Office Road we struggle with that slope and the narrow pitch, although I believe it's not as sloped as it once was. I've played on both (as a youngster only) and they feel so different, BV seems flat, open and forgiving and like most other pitches, POR seems claustrophobic, quirky and disorientating, it takes some getting used to IMO.
As a fan I think POR is a horrible ground to go to. Probably because we only visit in winter once a year and it always seems to be the coldest day I’ve ever experienced! I always come away not feeling my extremities no matter how many layers I put on lol!
I agree about the pitch seeming somewhat narrow. It doesn’t really suit us and as you say fev will be looking to stick it to us no doubt. It’s a very strong line up from trinity so will be interesting to see how we get on.
I just can’t wait for the season to start now.
