Smiley Culture Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 No idea if we'll make a proper section on the homepage like we have in the past but I'll start a thread anyway. Who's doing what, as we know some Premier League teams have already announced plans to play games on paddy fields in searing 48 degree heat in Asia all in the name of generating income. Only friendly I've seen so far (though I don't know if it's 100% official) is: MK Dons v Brentford - Tuesday 25th July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hoffeinhem are going to…Derby. Saturday 29th July for that one. QPR have announced a fantastic sounding pre-season tour of Germany, where they'll play Union Berlin and Lok Leipzig. I'm massively jealous about that, that should be great.

Hated the pre-season tour International Champions Cup shite last season. Fucked up our pre-season and players didn't get a proper pre-season playing in to the hands of the organisers. Much rather have the local trips as opposed to playing Barca and PSG in fucking Los Angeles or Stockholm. Pointless for all parties other than the organisers.

Smiley Culture Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Twente are playing some proper weird friendlies over here. They've got Plymouth and…Stranraer. Omer Riza had to announce our friendlies on his own personal Twitter account because we have no media team left at the club, at present. We've got Reading and Lincoln City at home and always at Dulwich Hamlet, Aveley, Harlow Town and somewhere else but I've totally forgot where.

Smiley Culture Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Charlton are going to Ireland for three games and have home games against Norwich and Ipswich lined up, Brighton are off to Austria, Burnley have Preston at Deepdale and Palace have a home game against Schalke. I quite fancy that Palace v Schalke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take me back up to 72 after losing one through the relegation from League Two. Think we're playing this Hong Kong tournament as well. Absolutely brainless. Extra money on top of being in the most lucrative league in the world prioritised over preparation. Shocking. I do think however the way last years was handled was exceptionally bad even by the standard of these tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in Hong Kong isn't that bad considering we did played a couple of seasons ago in Thailand (?) against Everton. Don't remember that many complaints about that. I'm just glad we have more of a pre-season than last season. More 'local' friendlies and I don't think the HK trip will have as much of an effect as last season's ridiculous worldwide trip.
