Pre-Season Schedule Summer 2024

[boots60]

I went Shrewsbury a few times in the 80's, all draws, all great days out.

Went to the town again, non football related, a couple of years ago & it has hardly changed.

Top pre season away trip.

That’s going to be popular!

Glorious.

[moore_94]

Pretty easy one to drive as well as only 1 hour from Calais

[Stuntman_Mike]

Gutted I'd miss that because of a wedding, but that would be a great trip and a good test for us.

sensible matches like Man City in Doha

I don't think having a match when it is 50 degrees Celsius (as I was in Doha today) would be classified as sensible. Besides Man City owners are from Abu Dhabi.... about 400kms South.

What’s this about RC Lens on the 10th August? 
 

In France 🇫🇷 too I believe! 

[LCFCJoe96]

Lens has potential to be quality, easy to get to from Calais and Lille (Eurostar), wonder if there’s gonna be any other European games

Still a lovely town, loads of decent ye olde worlde boozers and around the river is lovely.  

 

The stadium is slightly further out but very easy to get to from the centre.    

 

I'll be going to this one hopefully.  

It's not slightly further out ... it's a lot further out!

 

The old ground was slap bang in the middle of the town; the new ground is right on the outskirts (a couple of miles out from the centre).   

 

It might still be easy to get to, mind ... dunno.     But the old Gay Meadow was great.   Shame they left.

We'll focus on that, then?

Gutted I’m away. I remember Lille away and that was a great day out.

I’d be going with a starting point of where I live then ending up somewhere near Lens’ stadium but that’s just me.

I've got family in Amiens, but... Meh.

Surely we will get the inevitable Burton Albion away friendly.

Yes, we need to have revenge for the Bass Charity Vase debacle of 2021. I'm still mardy about those woeful penalties. 

[boots60]

Went to Lens for the Colombia game 98 World Cup.

About the size of Harborough but less pubs, decent stadium but other than that not a lot of stuff of interest.

If anyones planning a trip, kip over in Lille (half hour on the train), more to see & do.

why would you drive that instead of having a quality trip on it? 

[Horibbly Wrong]

It will be the first time we've played a French team in pre season 

[Heskey2011]

Right at top of France. Campsite with a pool job for this one.

Haven’t we played Monaco before?

We’ve played both Monaco and PSG fairly recently in pre season.
