Know it’s been mentioned before but now set to take place on Saturday 22nd July against Stoke City. Well deserved, hope it’s very well attended.

It makes you feel slightly unwanted to be given a game against Stoke as a testimonial...
Bit underwhelming perhaps, but a Saturday afternoon match against a local Championship side as part of our final preparations for next season and with, hopefully, more than a smattering of new signings on display should put bums on seats and that’s what it’s all about.
Id have liked to have seen a game with a few old players back, maybe once hes retired.
This may make interesting reading rA. Alan Hinton’s, on a Saturday eve mid season, was a belter and I dragged a posse of my ‘less interested’ mates away from the village disco and along to the BBG for the crack, one of which has been a season ticket holder, on and off, ever since.
Wonder if that was the last genuine one in terms of player longevity. Surely Steve Powell must have had one?
Last one I can really remember was Shaun Barker which was more as a result of long term injury than long service. Think he only got about 10,000 on a midweek evening. Sure Fozzy will do better out of a preseason friendly. Hope so.

Much as I enjoy a weekend back, as it's very close to the season's start, I'll give this one a miss and save my "free days" and money for League games.
