Jimmy Redgw Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 G'day everyone As an English Athletic Bilbao supporter with a soft spot for the Toon, I cant wait for July 30th. Looking forward to teaching many of the Basque boys the words to 'big river' as possible! Couple of questions I was hoping you coudl help us out with though? Does anyone know what the kick off time will be yet, or whether they are actually openiong sale tickets to 'away supporters' or just mixing it all. I hope following the glorious fan relationship in 1994 we are all mixed together. Ho'way the Lads AUPA Athletic !!!! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 If it’s the Saturday match then it will likely be 3pm. If it’s the Friday one, then either 7:45pm or 8:00pm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KO is Saturday so chances are it will be 3pm. Lets not confuse someone reaching out for help with a poor reference to a forum in joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I’m sure you’ll be warmly welcomed anywhere these days. Would love to hear your take on Trippier’s time with you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The fixtures are on the NUFC website with Bilbao being listed as ‘12am’ on the Saturday. Is that just a placeholder or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to hear your take on Trippier’s time with you. Ha well he was actually at Athletico Madrid rather than Bilbao. Although as a Spurs fan, I very much sing his praises. One of the greatest things about Athletic Bilbao is that they only have players from the Basque region (north east Spain and south west France). They're also the third most successful Spanish club of all time with 8 league titles and 24 Domestic cups and never relegated. To have done this whilst also having all their squads essentially come from their version of Wallsend Boys club, really makes them a special club. Unlike Barca, Athletic truly are 'more than a club'. Amongst the Athletic fans I know, there's a real affinity with the north east of England, given historical ties (I wont mention why they wear red and white). Also the club was founded in the 1800s by mineworkers from NE England. Edited June 9, 2022 by Jimmy Redgw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Well, they have an evening kick off for the Friday game listed. I think maybe they mean noon. Have no real idea though. Edited June 9, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 We have Atalanta at home the day before on Friday evening at 19.45pm kick off. Be amazed if we play hours later on Saturday morning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Spain they just call Bilbao 'Athletic' amongst friends and family I know from the Bilbao/Eibar area. Edited June 9, 2022 by HawK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbao is very much Athletic NOT Athletico. Also goes back to the clubs English heritage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I very much know the distinction, I went over every summer for the best part of a decade with my wife until Covid hit The Newcastle UEFA cup tie in the 90s was actually the ice breaker when I asked her where in Spain she was from. We met in Brighton where I was living at the time, and no-one she'd ever met outside Spain knew where Bilbao was except me. Following this club indirectly led me to my wife and my 2 awesome kids Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 They are waiting to hear from tv company to see if they want to show the match live (or not) issue is they had pencilled in 3pm kick off time and because the EFL kicks off on the same weekend their might be an issue with games (not being allowed to be televised in the U.K. with a Saturday 3pm kick off time So they are waiting to hear back !
