pre-season (9 Viewers)

[robbiethemole]

the first pre-season friendly has been announced against Nuneaton Town (or the 'boro if you're old)

Remember the good old days when we went to little teams like Burton,Northampton and Oxford in pre-season to earn them a few quid? I suppose it'll be Valley Sports and Bedworth and Hinckley who will be the next ones to overtake us.

Mowbray has said he doesn't want to play other L1 teams so it will be mostly L2 teams in pre-season.

He's also looking to take the squad away after Nuneaton but only want to play one game while away.

I hope they do something abroad

Same here. Doesn't clash with the Euros so will try to get over where ever it is. Lake Garda would be nice again.

I missed that as was so last minute by the time it'd been announced I'd booked up Barcelona. As long as they do it in good time, I intend on going over (where ever it is). Nothing better to do

If it's just one game though, might look at a 'holiday' before then go for the game if it's realistic!

Says they will fly out the day after Nuneaton.

“We’re playing Nuneaton first and then probably fly off if we’re going abroad the following day which will be at the end of our first bit of preparation.
“We’ll play a game out there and then come back and play Tuesday/Saturday/Tuesday/Saturday for a couple of weeks.

Going to Nuneaton tends to do that to you TBF

That's the day before the final so I'll probably just stay on the continent. Ideal!

Not flying back for Nuneaton?

We always play Nuneaton pre-season, does anyone remember the time we played Leicester at Nuneaton in a friendly don't know why but what a night that was !

Makes sense doesn't it ? testing yourself against lower league teams all pre season !

 

[stevefloyd]

I remember going up to Jockland pre season some years back where Nuddy was unplayable against Morton and total shite against Clydebank so hope its not there again

 

[LastGarrison]

I remember Dundee United coming to us pre-season and the weird fuckers all taking one shoe off.

Throw a shrimp on the barbie mates, they've confirmed a trip to Austria! Home of Neighbours and Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Were they leg less

They got a hell of a good hiding in town.

Too right. That was the best views I have ever had at a football game. And I must have spent nearly half of the first half enjoying the view as my little boy kept needing the toilet

Hopefully will be fit in time for this.

 

[sw88]

So Austria it is. Never been there before

Never really liked the song but saw Midge Ure perform if at a Ryder Cup opening bash and it was a great performance. If you like that sort of thing.

Probably arranged on the back of the Maddison deal I reckon.

Appears Villa are also going to Austria pre season.

Shame Mowbrays looking for a Top European side to play, eh, or we might have invited them

"trip to Welsh outfit Newport County at Spytty Park Stadium on Saturday 23rd.

......Tuesday evening clash with Championship side Norwich City on the 26th

.......home tie with Doncaster Rovers on the 29th, which will be hosted at Nuneaton Town."

Strange having a Friday night tie? But I'm not complaining

We'll be getting more use out of Nuneaton than they will at this rate

You don't know just how true your last sentence may turn out to be.

Well it's nearer than Northampton.
