You are aware that Sunderland are in the Premiership and we are in League 1? When was the last time we had a 'profile' friendly?

There was that spanish team a while ago. Spurs not long ago. My point is, we dont even have a premiere league club coming to town. Its shit.

I suspect it's more syptomatic of the premiership clubs chosing lucrative tours to far flung corners and teams deciding it's pretty pointless playing 'high profile' friendlies against top teams 4th choice youth reserves.

Admittedly some better championship opposition would have been nice, but hey ho.
