Like the fact there's a home friendly there, hopefully everyone who wants a ticket will be able to get one!

Definitely interested in the Sevilla game.

So what's happened to this Graham Taylor memorial match with Watford? I thought that was going to be an annual event.

Think the GT was a one off mate.

It was, but with COVID, most of the friendlies are local.

Only annual for Watford from memory, they planned on cycling through all GT's teams, so it would be a every few years thing for us just looking back in the archive.

Yes and as both clubs are in the same division then it would be a strange one to have .

Don’t normally do the pre-season games but that Sevilla game looks very tempting.

I'm the same, normally don't bother with friendlies but I think I'll go just because I can

Lost time to be made up .

Not sure how many tickets will be available but would think the take up will out strip the number allowed unless they allow a full house. With over 13000 on the waiting list for season tickets quite a few will take this opportunity to go the ground.
