Pre season friendlies

[zigga-zagga]

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!

Not a total waste of the day then.

We also played Rushden/Rotherham on the same day last year.

I went to Rushden as it's closer to home and saw Raddy make his debut. Everyone was asking who he was - we soon found out!

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

[StuC]

Any home games yet?

 

[Kier]

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

Posh w**k.

Anyone making the trip to Peterborough then?

 

[Kier]

Finances permitting, yes

 

[TheDude]

are county too big for us now ?

 

[Kier]

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.

Not looking like they have a game lined up for Portugal then not really worth going i suppose althou last year was fantastic

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

I agree, last year was superb but I won't bother if there's no game.

I have heard a whisper about a game in Bordeaux

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.

 

[jammy]

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

 

[TheDude]

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:
