Title: Pre-season friendlies
Post by: Combe Down on Saturday, May 16, 2015, 10:34:13
To take our mind off the numerous Wembley threads, which tbh are becoming a little tedious with still over a week until the match, any news on pre-season friendlies?

In previous years we have had details of some matches announced before the end of the regular season. Any tour this year I wonder?

As our current season isn't over yet I assume we're holding off on announcing next season's friendlies. Saves the players and the back-room staff getting distracted. No need to discuss them yet.

FGR and Supermarine.

Then add a few more.

Redditch away again? Did anyone go to the Jimmy Davies memorial cup game a few years ago? We had hundreds of fans there.

May yet be in the same league as them.

Bangkok United.

Is that a football team or a gay protest group ?

Well you can expect FGR, Supermarine.

Something near Bristol like Yate Town last season and Weston-super-Mare in 2012 would be pleasant.

I'm also hoping for Chippenham Town.

I'm hoping / requesting we can get Sporting Lisbon away to avenge the drubbing we took a year or two back. 

And maybe Porto or Benfica or something - all most preferably in the two weeks before the season starts.

Many thanks.

Norwich is a possibility, depending on which league we're both in. Maybe Southampton?

I'm really hoping we get Bath City from a living-in-Bath-perspective.

It'll be the usual FGR, Supermarine, a premier league club, a championship club (or another premier league club) and a local non-league club to wherever we have our summer-camp.

FGR, Supermarine, Aston Villa, Norwich (or Southampton) and the local club at the summer camp :)

Any further news than Aston Vilification & Fairford yet? The first friendly is usually only two or three weeks away. I'm kinda getting worried!

Don't. Everyone at the club is on leave so nothing being communicated

Yeah, even new signings have to announce themselves via twitter!

Someone in work mentioned Everton rumour, but probably bollocks.

i believe QPR is one.. heard from a guy at work (in basingstoke) All the local news :)

I think tomorrow will be a day of announcements. Everyone should be back today catching up then announcing stuff tomorrow.

But that would be common sense. So no doubt things will be announced next Monday.

2nd July & still only 4 friendlies set up? That is not enough preparation for 8th August start. Therefore I reckon there will be a few unannounced, behind closed doors games. Anyone got any details?


Title: Re: Pre-season friendlies
Post by: Batch on Thursday, July 2, 2015, 06:38:55
Surely there will be a few non-league club games along with the glamour friendlies

Liverpool at home will be announced soon

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun

They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun
