Might try and get down to that one, see if the weather is nice and a few new signings in action!

 

[chiefdave]

I'm going out on a limb and predicting we'll have a game against Nuneaton.

Away match against Birmingham City, or is that a home game?

 

[ccfcway]

Still waiting on details but expect it be there and the team from around 8th to 13th. U23 will be at Leamington too on 6th July so be good to have a decent turn out for that one. Local, likely good weather and see some of the fringe/new players.

After last seasons farce I’d be surprised if we manage to piece anything together for there!!

Best we can hope for will likely be another pre season playing in the hotel complex (although what a nice complex it was )

I liked it. Was funny seeing the Everton players in ice baths / bins afterwards

 

[TTG]

Do they still do Leamington pre season?

 

[Houchens Head]

I'll try to make the Swindon game. It's only a short trip down the M5 and A419 for me.

Anyone else fancy going from the Malvern / Worcester area (or en route to Swindon) and needs a lift, pm me.

That'll be a "yes" then ...
NEWS: Coventry City to play Leamington in pre-season friendly

 

[Nick]

They usually say Sky Blues XI against Leamington I think?

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

When i read "NEWS: Leamington FC to Host Coventry City ..." i thought it was going to say "... for the 2019/20 football season"!

 

[robbiekeane]

What do you mean?

 

[Esoterica]

What do you mean?

That it's usually the U23, trialists and any who haven't gone to Spain that play in this annual fixture, if i remember well.

 

[no_loyalty]

To be fair he has played in the football league for Walsall and Hereford, but like some of our old players he hasn't been good enough, and has had to go to the non league.

Seems its the first team as per the sutton game last year

Just remember, Stuart "Psycho" Pearce was playing for non-league Wealdstone before being snapped up by Bobby Gould to play for the then Top Division club, Coventry City. He also went on to play 78 times for England.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Didn't Leicester get Vardy from Fleetwood before they came into the league?
