[BensGrandad]

What standard would we be looking at if we went to Scotland.

1 game against Div 3 or 2 to score some goals.
1 game against us Div 1 to have a competetive game
1 game against a Prem side to put us under presure.

Perhaps the delay is due to Barry Lloyd sorting something out on his trips to Scandinavia

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Hastings would be an adventure.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

MA took us to Ireland one pre season.

After what happened last time I doubt we'll be going there again!

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Scotland would be good. Lots of Premiership teams and Div 1 teams would love to play an English club.

We could play Motherwell

 

[Jello]

Seeing Pride is a week earlier 2nd Aug we at least have the chance of a home game to start with.

Why would Lloyd be having any say or input in where we are playing our pre-season games. Last time I checked he was Chief Scout and lucky had nothing to do with decisions regarding tactics, games etc.

Lets hope we start with Carlisle or Hartlepool AWAY

Pre-season games are always about preperation for the new season, I don't see the point of beating some amateur sunday leage club by double figures to help 'confidence'. Nor playing a glamour game against a decent Prem side when you'll be chasing shadows for 90 minutes.

We should be looking at clubs of a similar standard to who we will play in the regulart season, a trip to Scotland to play some Div 1/lower Prem clubs would fit the bill perfectly.

Or if Darlo come up in the play offs.

 

[Zesh Rehman]

I would love a FOREIGN trip. Or even Scotland/Wales/Ireland as BensGrandad suggested. Would make for a SUPERB Crocs trip. Don't think Micky will be off to Ireland again in a hurry though

Abroath, Alloa and Raith Rovers?

 

[Mr Apples]

Just done a quick google on the interwebby thing and I can proudly announce:

AWAY TO LUTON ON SATURDAY 2nd AUGUST

Oh joy

 

[Kukev31]

Just to refresh my memory, what happened in Ireland?

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Just to refresh my memory, what happened in Ireland?

We went there one time, had a fantastic trip by all accounts (wasn't there), main game was against Galway United. We then went the next year which culminated in a dirty game at Longford Town which was abandoned halfway through.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I can't wait to see who we bring in first.

i suppose the suggestion is that as he is on the ground he could have been asked to arrange some fixtures. could be good.
