I’m sure you know I’m going to blame predictive text even if I actually missed a word out ;D

Away to Barcelona on 16th of July !

I love Barcelona so I’d be more than happy to go a third time

[CAMiller]

I’m sure you know I’m going to blame predictive text even if I actually missed a word out ;D

As I get paid a bonus for editing titles I fixed it for you ;D

[Brin]

I predict we'll play Parkgate....

Next Donny home or away doesn't really matter

Buxton, Guisely, Matlock, Rochdale, Scunny just so our probable new line can fill their boots and gain a bit of confidence before the season kicks off.

[millertop]

Training camp will be Croatia 2nd -9th July. no dates official yet for any games

It’s gone up from £3/4 for concessions these last two years and capacity has reduced from well over 1500 to a Thousand !!

Guess it’s Friday so they can sell more beer in the bar ?? Plus going to Croatia on Monday so have to get bags packed !

Not a patch on 7 hills between Rowmish n Greezbro.

When I was training for the cross country I used to run up 7hills now I can’t even walk up them, fecking old age. XD

[millertop]

Unless I’ve missed it I find it weird we have not mentioned Crewe who says we are playing them. Unless it’s one of them days where we split players in half :P so waiting for other game to be confirmed

Anyway off to Donny (I can’t contain my excitement >:) )

The Crewe manager said we were playing them in an interview weeks ago…so maybe it’s perhaps a bit typical of us, that something we don’t know about has been cancelled..!..

[millertop]

No idea why they’re there, maybe crystal ball came out.
Think I’ll give them a miss too ��

So if we got someone like Liverpool or Man City and charged 30,40,50 quid a ticket would you go Archie knowing it was only a pre-season friendly? These days it's more about rotating the players, seeing how they perform together and what their fitness levels are like rather than an exhibition to the fans. Don't forget, to our opponents these fixtures 'might' look attractive, not all teams can find opponents above their level and PW might not want to tip his hand against teams we will be facing in the regular season.

That's a good point. Wouldn't want Liverpool and Man City sussing us out too early

wouldnt turn out to any of our pre-season friendlies at home if admission prices were 30,40,50p, .....Liverpool or Man.c who mentioned them, 30,40,50 quid a ticket, slight exaggeration there cam.

That's what they charge here Archie (and more) when those teams come to the USA to play in pre-season 'tournaments' so I'm guessing they'd want similar revenue streams if they were to not do that but play at Rotherham...etc. As you say, if you wouldn't even pay 50p where's the incentive to play against 'big' clubs when the object of the exercise has nothing to do with the level of competition/results and more to do with the other aspects I mentioned.

PS Did you see my question about Meadow Avenue on the Icky to Derby thread? https://boards.footymad.net/showthread.php?t=38291274

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Oddly enough this was announced today

“All 20 Premier League clubs have unanimously agreed to maintain the £30 price cap on away tickets for the next three seasons”

Still no cap in the EFL as far as I know.

Cam, its the guys who have nothing in their lives only RUFC that i feel sorry for (and theres plenty of em) not much to look forward to playing them 4 teams mentioned, a few years ago we played Leicester, a german team Mainze if i remember correctly also Hearts, that sort of opposition i would gladly go and pay going rate.

I see Archie. I guess they can at least look forward to the fact that almost every game we'll be playing next season will be against a 'big' team.

Hurray it’s only took 5 weeks to announce it……at that rate maybe smith and icky will be staying afterall..😜

We could always play one of the womens team. XD

We’d embarrass ourselves XD

[Jimmy Badfellow]

Although Im not a fan of pre season friendlies,never have I seen a more boring set in my life and I hope the benefits of hosting the EUROS out weigh the lack of home preparation and game time at the NYS.

[CASPER-64-FRANK]

Parkgate FC is usually a good day out and puts funds into a local non league club.

I don't read too much into friendlies, as long as we don't pick up any long term injuries like what's happened before.
They are what they are.... friendlies.

[MILLERSTALE]

Is this the right preparation for games in the championship ? Is this a deliberate move ? Will we be undercooked for next season ? Personally I liked to play teams above our status, to test the team out under severe pressure ! time will tell !

MT, no thanks pal. I wouldn’t like to see another 7-0 thrashing by Man City. How demoralising would that be to the players?

Let them have less challenging games with goal’s aplenty to help boost morale and confidence.

I hope coaching staff analyse the pitch carefully before game today.Mansfield have installed drainage system over the summer and due to this this is the first and only home friendly.plus the hot weather we have had recently I just hope pitch is ok and we don’t put our players at risk….I remember Accrington doing this type of work other year and it looked like a ploughed field as it didn’t take too well…hopefully it will be ok but probably worth caution..
