Preseason schedule confirmed

[Blues Rock DJ]

Dorch for me......

As tempting as the double header is we've got the mighty Mile Oak at home (5pm, end of a "fun" day, kids football, veterans match etc) that same day.

It's not much of a pre season, but I don't suppose new grounds/interesting days out are top of the agenda when planning. Disappointed that PTFC have only got one away friendly planned but at least it's a "mouthwatering" trip to Saltdean United!

FIRST-TEAM FIXTURES
Saturday 16th July 2016 v Crawley Town FC (A) - 3.00pm
Tuesday 19th July 2016 v Fulham (at Aldershot FC) - 7.45pm
Saturday 23rd July 2016 v Luton Town (A) - 2.00pm
Saturday 23rd July 2016 v Stevenage (A) - 5.30pm
Home fixture TBC

UNDER 21s
Wednesday 13th July 2016 v Hastings United FC (A) - 7.45pm
Wednesday 20th July 2016 v Dorchester Town FC (A) - 7.45pm
Wednesday 27th July 2016 v Whitehawk (A) - 7.45pm

In addition to the friendly fixtures listed, the first team will also play a home fixture at the Amex on the weekend 29th-31st July, with the opposition to be confirmed in due course.

Two separate teams will play Luton and Stevenage on Saturday 23rd July, kicking off at 2pm and 5.30pm respectively, to give supporters the opportunity to attend both fixtures - with the full first-team squad being used across the two matches.

Meanwhile, the first-team squad will also spend a week on an overseas private training camp in the early part of pre-season, with no game scheduled for the trip.

The club will also confirm an open training session at the Amex, during the pre-season period, for Seagulls Priority and Young Seagulls members.

Will anyone be doing a coach on the 23rd to take in both of the games??

Used to really enjoy the Pre Season games at Burgess Hill.

Anyone know why they stopped these?

Quality of opposition

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Shame there's no fixture at Lewes, always liked that. Maybe I'll go to the Crawley game and the Under 21s at Whitehawk. The other First Team fixtures are a bit of a pain to get to as I don't drive.

Lutons easier to get to on the train than Crawley (and Whitehawk come to think of it)

No pre season tour boooo #nottogether

 

[atfc village]

Money for us for hosting the game at Aldershot ,but very random.

 

[Marshy]

Luton and Stevenage are certainties

 

[Guinness Boy]

Crawley, Luton and Stevenage? Is this sponsored by Crap Towns? Was playing us a prize in the World Biggest Shithole competition? Pffft.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Is Luton/stevenage this Seasons 'pre season tour'?

You can throw Aldershot on that list ,though not as bad as the 3 above.

Totally indifferent regardless. I can't remember the last pre-season game I went to, they're only training sessions anyway.

Actually I think it was probably Reading at the Amex, for Kuipers testimonial (ponced a 1901 freebie). Notable only for a first viewing of Bruno.

Would have liked to go to Hastings if wasn't currently in Asia travelling

I went to Sevilla at the Amex last year. It was WELL GOOD. Stevenage away doesn't quite hold the same appeal.

Pretty much this. Although I would have thought a higher standard of opposition would be more useful?

Not if they are going by train. The 16 miles between the venues is not connected by track. You have to come back into London. There is a bus that takes an hour or so.

Anyway, I don't think I could take two friendlies in a row.

7 1/2 weeks.

Can't wait.

Hope the home friendly is against a European side rather than PL.

"Home fixture TBC" Sounds like it could be interesting.

Leicester City would be my guess?

That would be worth going to.

Ulloa lines up for us for old times sake.

This time last year that would have been just as 'meh' as the others.
