Pre season friendlies

[Tabasco Kid]

So far the following have been announced:

Brackley away - Sat July 5th  15.00 PM
Cambridge Utd home - Tues July 8th 12.01 PM (behind closed doors)
Norwich City away - Sat July 12th 13.00 PM (behind closed doors)
Redditch Utd away - Mon July 21st 19.45 PM
West Ham brats home - Tues July 22nd 19.00 PM
Birmingham City home - Sat July 26th 15.00 PM

A couple of personal observations to make: Whoever scheduled Brackley away on the weekend of the British GP needs to give their head a wobble.

Redditch away, the day before West Ham suggests that it may be a game of guess the trialist, which is a shame as had it been a Saturday, then I might have gone. I dont think that I have ever been to Redditch, and the ground is close to the town centre and station.

Birmingham home should be interesting, as they play Port Vale away at 13.00 PM, and ourselves away at 15.00 PM on the same day. Which reinforces my view about testimonials. 

As the season starts on August 2nd, then that leaves Sat July 19TH free.  Any requests?

Redditch link, before anybody says that its not on the official website.

There’s a week in Spain planned too isn’t there? Would be surprised if we don’t have a game there too

Its probably cheaper to fly to Spain than get the train to Redditch.

I wonder if they’ll get to Spain this year after last year’s debacle?

Anybody who wants to go to Brackley will have to find an alternative route as they always close the A43 on Grand Prix weekends. My youngest granddaughter is studying engineering at Silverstone school which overlooks the track and they are closing the school for the Thursday and Friday and her year are going to France.

Pre season looks as weak as pîss, why behind closed doors games?
Redditch, West Ham kids and Blues 3rd team……..

As the pitch is being currently dug up and re-set, the Cambridge game will probably be at Moulton. So, if anybody fancies hiding in the bushes, and playing "guess the trialist" (wheres Insider these days?) fill ya boots.

It will be fine. Bingers is moonlighting on passport control.
