Pre season friendlies

zigga-zagga

Viv Anderson
I know we have to give as many players as possible a run out but so far we have arranged four pre-season friendlies two on the 24th July and two on the 21st.

Last season we played Ilkeston and Burton (I think) on the same day and fielded a side at Ilkeston that was academy players. I hope this year that he lets us know who will be playing where.

I went to Ilkeston to see the academy players and got totally rat-arsed!

Trips in July to see us play Mansfield and Peterborough to get my Forest fix are tempting!

We'll probably have a home game with some mediocre Premiership team which will attract a minimal attendance like Birmingham and Stoke last season.

I would have thought playing a friendly at Notts works well for both clubs. It always gets a decent turn out so is a decent revenue raiser for them as well being convinient for us.

They have had enough of my money over the years in collection buckets. If we must play them at least lets not waste a saturday fixture on them

Yeah you're not allowed, or it's not common practice to play a team in your own division in a pre-season friendly

Tell them it's bollocks. We're not going to play a friendly against a team we could potentially meet on the first day of the season.

yeah think i just picked a team at random as I'm sure they said a yorkshire team just couldn't think of it... :fool:
