Pre season friendlies

[dresdenvilla]

Thanks Dresden interesting insight, what sort of attendances do DD average ? How much is a ticket and can you buy a balti pie ?

Last season the average attendance was 28000, one of the highest in Bundesliga 2. The food in the park outside of the ground is better :-) Ticket for today is 9 €

Interesting history have Dynamo Dresden, what with the war and East German secret police intervening in EG football and then losing their best players when the wall came down. Worth a read.

[dresdenvilla]

Before Dynamo Dresden there was a football club actually founded by English people living in Dresden

I enjoy finding interesting clubs to follow in the European leagues Dresdenvilla. Along with fellow Germans Werder Bremen and St Pauli, I shall follow Dynamo's progress more closely from now on. Difficult season what with Koln and SV Hamburger having been relegated.

Heres to a successful season for both Villa and Dynamo. Thanks for sharing the history

 

[Ricardomeister2]

Yes, 2pm kick off.

Mail said 2pm but some on twitter are saying 1pm so probably worth checking then.

 

[JW1985]

It's 3pm local time which means 2pm here I think.

Teams already announced so must start in 20 mins. No JK in squad....injury? So looks like Adomah up front.....!

 

[Langoe66]

Yep, according to Gregg Evans, JK hasn't travelled due to injury. No change of luck at the start of the season then, no Kodjia, Hogan, Davies or RHM.......marvellous!

 

[JW1985]

Never trust the evening mail.

Team to face @DynamoDresden: Steer, Hutton, Chester, Jedinak, Taylor, Elmohamady, Bjarnason, Whelan, Grealish, Green, Adomah.

Subs: Gardner, Bree, Elphick, De Laet, Lansbury, Hourihane, Knibbs, Sarkic.

Kodjia out injured. Steve practicing his peculiar formation tendancies!

Not a very attacking side, but I suspect he's more interested in getting players the required minutes on the pitch.

 

[JW1985]

Is it 3 at the back with Jedinak, Chester and Hutton at centre half. Elmo and Taylor and wb and Green and Albert up front?

By my count that would be 5 players played out of position.

 

[BringbakMON]

are JDH & O'Hare injured ?

 

[eltoro]

I give up with Bruce, he’s a clown.

 

[sirdennis]

Not sure about JDH , but O'Hare has been injured since the end of last season.

 

[BringbakMON]

ta
we need to buy a rake of cotton wool for our strikers

 

[Ricardomeister2]

Scrappy start. Too many misplaced passes.

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

Is Richards still injured?

 

[Bikini Inspector]

Is Kodjia injured again?

 

[Ricardomeister2]

Kodjia reportedly picked up an injury. Very good atmosphere, still very scrappy.
