bowlingcrofty Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The Dallas Fort Worth area will be the destination for six soccer teams from around the world this July when they’ll play in an international soccer tournament. The clubs will include Newcastle United, Olympique Lyonnais, Pachuca, Swansea City, Malaga and Raja Casablanca between July 9-19. http://worldsoccertalk.com/2015/04/29/newcastle-lyon-pachuca-and-swansea-among-clubs-to-compete-in-texas-tournament-this-july/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EPLTalk+%28World+Soccer+Talk%29 Nice way to kick off the promotion season.

GeordieT Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Surely this will be a massive flop commercially? No big names. Not playing a local side? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Local sides are pretty irrelevant. Lack of a non-shit side is not so irrelevant. Pachuca is probably your best bet for a local fanbase tho. Probably more Pachuca fans in Texas than Dallas fans in Texas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 US tournament on - but no mention of Magpies From the official Swansea City website, Monday: Swansea City will prepare for the new Barclays Premier League season by competing in an international tournament in Dallas, Texas, from July 11-19. Garry Monk’s squad will fly to America for a week’s intense training before going on to compete in the six-team tournament that includes Chivas Guadalajara (Mexico), Olympique Lyonnais (France), Raja Casablanca (Morocco), Pachuca (Mexico) and Malaga (Spain). The tournament, which groups the Swans with Pachuca and Malaga, will be played at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas and Toyota Stadium in Frisco. Fixtures and venue draws are to be confirmed. Claims of this event first circulated in April, when one of the six teams listed was NUFC. However this subsequent confirmation sees Mexican side Chivas Guadalajara added and no mention of the Magpies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 One of the Toon army philly guys went to college there. Not sure if he's happy that it's somewhere he knows, or annoyed that he recently spent 4 years of his life there and now NUFC decide to pop by.

Ameritoon Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Assuming the club doesn't get gate receipts for friendlies, just like a one-ff fee or something I won't feel bad about paying 25. Having said that I have no idea how organizing friendlies works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Guy I know works for the Eagles and his opinion was that the clubs make absolutely fuck all from these things. More of an exposure thing than anything. And a bit of merch monies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
