I agree 100% the quality of the opposition does not matter for these games except to the supporters. They are no more than training matches to get the players up to full fitness after the close season. High class opposition would be nice but they are generally busy with other commitments and teams they tend to send for these games are far from the full squad and can consist of youth players.
