Botafogo have announced a friendly with Charlton on Thursday at Crystal Palace's training gound. Bit of a curveball.

  • Yeah I thought this would be a museum thread.

    It is in Beckenham if anyone's free and we're allowed in 
  • We definitely have the squad to be playing random friendlies! 

    Presume it will be our under 15’s team or something that we send. 
  • Ground sharing with palace requested by the people’s democratic republic of Bromley 
  • Can only imagine it’ll be the youth. We’re meant to be playing against Cheltenham at the Valley the next day!

  • Stockley can play.

    That Palace training ground will no doubt have turned some heads...

    Elerewe with the 50p header, no idea who the number 4 was but he didn't even look at the ball when jumping.

    Palace training ground contrasts with Botafogo's home ground back in Rio-


  • Also, Wikipedia tells us;
    "In January 2022, it came to light that American investor John Textor, owner of a majority stake in Premier League club Crystal Palace F.C., was in talks to purchase a majority share of Botafogo. In February 2022, the club announced the acquisition of 90% of the shares of Botafogo's football division by Textor's holding company Eagle Holdings, and the start of a new era for the club."
  • Looks like a decent crowd at Selhurst today for their friendly;

  • Bizarre some of these mid season friendlies.

    Cambridge are playing West Ham on Tuesday this week.
  • Further info on this match, Palace asked Charlton to send over a side to play Botafogo
    Thursday morning. Charlton took a depleted U21 squad that included 4 first year under 18s. Then they found out that they were playing Botafogo first team squad. Twice in the game Charlton we’re in front through a Dylan Gavin penalty and another from a header. Botafogo changed 8 players during the second half and we only had 1 outfield sub.
    2 goals were concided in the last 5 minutes as our boy’s began to tire.
    Great team performance under the circumstances.
    Absolutely.

    Sounds like we should have played these depleted U21s against Cheltenham and sent the first team to play Botafogo!
